  1. Holy shit! Woke up a 3:30 and looked out. Nothing. Looked out now and it's ripping. Probably already at least an inch. It's hard to tell since it SNOW ON SNOW!!!! This is one time I'm glad I'm east of DC.

    Well...im going to have a martini and do uber eats instead of cooking.  It's that kind of night.   What if 0z keeps going?

    I've been waiting to break out some Blueberry Cupcake, cured hash rosin I made from my last grow. Tonight seems perfect. Cheers 

    31 and cloudy

  3. 8 here. Evacuated my greenhouse a couple days ago. My plants are in veg and need warm temps. I like 80 with a humidity in the 60's. That's to hard to achieve when it's this cold. I could but it would be expensive. Plants are under lights inside and are happy.

    I’m trying friend / it has been SO long - just seeing all the reports when I woke up basically ringing our area and nothing here was disappointing. Just back from walking the dogs on the trail - my dream of walking them in a snowfall continues to wait - maybe this PM…

    Glad I'm back in AA County. It never snowed in Carroll County lol. Woke up to a coating of white with white roads here. Flurries and 24 degrees. 

    I'm probably going off grid soon. When we get a snow event, I stop all watching radar, looking at forecast, coming here, ect. I like to enjoy it the natural way. I don't want to know if I'm going to dry slot, be in between bands, ect. I like to live in the moment and savor every minute of the event and take in the beauty with a clear mind. I don't want to be pissed 3 hours from the end of the storm because JI is trolling the Strom thread about the back edge lol

    I still love snow, but it can also be an annoyance. Has zero impact on my happiness. I like to track because I appreciate the physics and complexity of the atmosphere. Large scale fluid mechanics is cool.

    I'm more obsessed with the power of nature. I've always loved storm. I was 3 months old during the blizzard of 78. My mom told me that I cried if I couldn't see out of the window. She moved me to the window and I laid there starring out the window at the blizzard all day. During thunderstorms she'd come in the room and I'd be standing in my crib in the middle of the night looking at the window. When I was 6 I got busted outside at 2 am looking at the snow falling lol.

    Bring the cold and dry :yikes:

    I know it's bad when you start to Deb. You and I have similar climo here in the swamp zone. It's like living in north Georgia now.

    Not sure how much rain I got, but it was a lot. Total swampy mess out there. Ugh.. winter lol. I can't wait to have frozen mud.

    Maybe this is only true in my case, but...to me...I believe there's an addictive quality with this as well. I see what my brain does when we're tracking something. The shot of adrenaline on the Zs when there's potential (literally dropping everything to check the run), the dopamine of a good run, the opposite of a bad. There's a real give (and take) of the brain's reward system...and when there's a letdown, the mood is a bit disrupted (temporarily).

    BUT...what I'm finding this season is...the less exposure to this place (and even tracking) when things are crappy works wonders. The site blocker app is becoming my best friend, lol 

    Not many here appreciate my psychological musings of this hobby, but I'm telling ya, folks...it's worth it to delve into that side to better manage your reaction to the not-so-good that can happen with this hobby.

    This is not a hobby to most people here. It's a lifestyle. Most of us were born this way. I see it as a gift. We're gifted to have such a profound connection with nature that it affects our daily lives. I'm sure most of us have our little meltdowns here and move on happily with our day, but always looking at the sky.

  8. No storm?

    Cold smoke?

    Rain?

    This is 4 days out and humans have 0 clue what's coming. Things haven't changed that much since I was a kid. I remember 35 years ago it was the same theme until the snow was on the ground. I remember Justin Berk on the news getting me pumped for failures lol
