Snowedin

It’s all over. Shut em down, get them shorties out of the attic and let’s start tanning those beautiful napes baby!

The problem is there has been so little melting taking place these last couple weeks and any ice that’s formed just keeps building on the roof. I’ve been outside almost everyday since Friday trying to get it under control. It F’ing sucks in this cold.

No please, I’m done with clearing ice jams off the roof and sending my poor heart into overdrive. Let’s put that on the backburner (or shall I say back breaker) for 2027, mmkay?

That sun is starting to work it’s magic bit by bit. Soon we’ll all be outside tanning with full back nudity being par for the course. Come on tippy, let’s get this party started!

So the hose did a pretty good job today of at least opening up a few of the ice dams but man that temp needs to come up at least another 10 degrees or so to put a serious dent into the ice pack. We’re getting there though..might’ve got just a hint of color today with that ever so slowly rising sun angle!

It’s actually a bathroom located near a basement so it’s naturally much cooler down there and the pipes aren’t used as often. I have a small heater running in the garage but it’s barely made a dent in this cold. Thankfully I did manage to clear a lot of snow that was hanging on one side of the roof and then tomorrow I’m gonna try some hot water with a hose attachment inside to clear the dam, at least partially. This cold is brutal though man, had to keep coming inside to prevent my hands from fully freezing up! It’s no fun at all.

I mean relative to the last week or so lol..at least we should be out of the teens for a few days, it’s something man!

One of our pipes is leaking in the bathroom but thankfully it’s just a few drops for now. I’m probably gonna have to go out and knock some of the ice and snow off the roof that’s contributing. Can’t wait for a little thaw next week as this cold has just been brutal and relentless! The heat needs a serious breather as well.

Loving these beautiful parachutes coming down with this final gasp. Just took these shots a little while ago and it’s just so peaceful out with the freshly fallen snow. Gonna have to go out one more time in the morning to shovel but I’m so happy this baby stayed all snow. What a great storm all around and one that was totally overdue for us humble folks on the coastal plain!

That ocean snow keeps on tacking on to our nearly 20” total. It’s very cool to see how small the flakes are, especially compared to the start yesterday. Almost like little frozen sand particles. I’m sure the more well versed Mets and posters around here have a proper term for it but it’s those subtle little details I’ve come to appreciate more over the years.

Very pretty snow coming down. Roads are def starting to get a little dicey too..time to sit back, relax and enjoy the show!

I better get my extra servings of wheaties with whole milk over the next few days. This lanky sob is gonna need it

That’s what I told my last ex

Big ol deer out beneath the feeders pondering its next move.

About the same here too. Those trees and power lines are really sagging right now under the weight of this stuff. Hopefully we can keep the lights and heat on until some of this paste gets shaken off!

January? More like swampuary. Lfg!!

You just gotta rub it in! That island is gorgeous, was there several years back when the pats were last in the Super Bowl and the weather and people never disappoint. The views are just on another level too. Enjoy it man!

Even as someone who prefers warmer, more temperate conditions I gotta say this snow is very pretty. If I didn’t have to worry about shoveling or getting it off the car, I’d say bring on several feet of this kind of fluffy goodness!

Total whiteout!

Just about a half an inch of fresh powder here in the well. Best kind of snow imo..not enough to shovel but a nice little refresher for an otherwise gloomy landscape

https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/boston-weather-wind-chills-temperature-massachusetts/ This would explain the chopper I heard circling overheard this morning. Thought I heard something come crashing down in the woods late last night. That wind was whipping like crazy!

Sounds like the plot to the day after tomorrow. Who knows what madness the future holds!

All gone here on the coast. Today should’ve been Christmas with the low fog and rapidly receding snow. It certainly looked and felt the part!

I have this link saved to my phone as well. Almost forgot I had it favorited lol. It’s just a compilation of some of the music used during those golden years of the weather channel. I’m sure you’ll recognize quite a few of these pretty quickly. Enjoy! https://twcclassics.com/audio/years-2001.html

Brutal stuff..not even our borderline feral cat wants to go out in this nut shrinking airmass. Great day and night to embrace the spirit of the season, hibernation!
