All Activity

I’m off to oversleep and miss the heavy snow band!

Rest/Playing catch-up on sleep deprivation during a snow FUTILITY MARKERS... So many times, when I lived in Dale City - I'd catch a nap during a storm. 1) Oversleep, mainly from way too much watching of the models, and 2) This is invariably the time when the heavy snow band wrecked Dale City - RIGHT WHEN I WAS FAST ASLEEP. Plenty of post-nap anger and disillusionment, over missing the heavy dendrites. More will be added. It's best to overdose on coffee and uppers if necessary. Do whatever it takes to stay awake until the very last flake has fallen. Snow in the Mid Atlantic is RARE. Last ten seasons have been instructive. Otherwise, sleep like Rip van Winkle, wake up in 2037 then head for Mammoth Mountain Ski resort. It snows HARD for days and days as most of the moisture in the greater Pacific Ocean falls as snow there and winds gust over 100 mph at times. You'll get your fix and you won't be jonesing as bad for snow. Better yet, MOVE there, sleep all you want. They get 400 inches each season. You won't regret this! https://www.mammothmountain.com/

Didn’t you ski with a bunch of us at the Berkshire East weenie gathering, when you were still rocking stand up alpine skis? Seems like yesterday, but that was a long time ago I guess.

Off to get a nap, will report back later.

Reapers NEVER retire. You need to be posting every day. You are The Reaper. You are out of retirement and back on the Beat, effective right now. Because it's not snowing in the Sierra and I am eying The Ledge.

Snowing solidly where I am now in Farmville, VA

It has been a busy week, but it’s a 40 ft walk and an electric chainsawing away for dried, seasoned wood in the wood stove.

Looked close, and JUST right at an inch at 12:45. That is 90 minutes to make an inch. Currently 29.9/27.5 with snow falling.

Looking like we’ll struggle to squeeze an inch. Onto the next. The good news is that there seems to be several upcoming swings at the plate.

Euro has a nice small event for the 12/13th

I mean, we really couldn't have asked for better at this stage

4.6°

Sleet in Gibsonville, NC

Snowing steady now in Waynesboro, car and roof topper so far....

Flurries or sprinkles for some. Maybe something more significant towards late week.

So I take it the GFS showed nothing for Sunday night?

gonna call it a night now. set an alarm for 4:30 to watch the snow fall. i'm betting on the fact that FCPS will cancel eventually

Light snow has started at Staunton/Waynesboro with 30.3 degrees.

Cutting wood at midnight???

Sit down sled type skiing. I can turn the ski's with a handle bar and control braking as well. I need assistance loading and unloading the chairlift.

Much heavier sleet now near downtown Winston. Not as mixed with rain as before either. Sleet storm!

Euro moved north with its last short before flakes started falling in the region. Gets the 0.1 inch QPF line to Baltimore, barely.

I like the looks of that little green bar just north of where I live.

Well, tonight's the coldest night I've ever experienced for the last 8 months. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, lol.
