Friday ….. Saturday ….. Monday, As always …

I read that the severely cold 1917/18 winter produced such a freeze.i would have enjoyed listening to your grandfather and hearing how it was first hand. In the early to middle 50’s when I was in my single digits, sustained cold would result in broken ice flowing down the center of the narrows. (no bridge at that time) I guess it sourced from the southern extent of the frozen over Hudson River. As always …..

It can’t be often that Madison Wisconsin is10 degrees warmer than Central Park in December. As always …

Good morning Rob and here’s the after photo taken about 7:30 am. Stay well, as always ….

P Even the inner city can enjoy a moment of quiet, a moment of peace, a moment of hope. As always…..

Never too much merry Rob and good neighbors are the gold amidst the red and green. As the ‘before’ photo of my postage stamps delusional 36 inch snow gauge shows ….. my inner city, UHI blessed, ocean hugging location is ready. If I’m still here, I’ll post the after photo tomorrow. As always …..

Accu weather has my Brooklyn neighborhood down to 28 while Central Park is 29 at 23:51. A 20 degree drop in 9 hours from the 49 degree reading at 14:51.. as always ….

Happy Christmas Santa and I’m glad you ma de it. Just a thought on the targeted avian strike ….. forky is a bird lover …… until next year, as always …..

Judging by Santa’s position it’s obvious what you’re getting in your stocking. As always ….

Caution with that kind of talk Anthony….. you just gave S19 a woody. Stay hopeful! As always ….

Only when freed from the surge protector. As always……

When we and all of ours are gone the wind in all its iterations will be here. Peace, as always …..

I am confident that Anthony has covered all the eventualities. As always …..

Good morning all. Rob my snow gauge is now definitively an old man’s gauge, barely an inch. Even so, despite the too warm ground and lower few feet of atmosphere, what fell and stayed defined a peace and beauty of its own. Stay well as always …. IMG_1853.mov IMG_1857.mov

Snowing by street light on Tompkins Place. As always …. IMG_1836.mov

Good morning Rob/BSL. As you can see, in anticipation, I’ve installed a snow gauge. I’ve cleared a small patch of bare ground boarded by a century old clothesline pole and surrounded by the last oak leaf drifts of fall. The gauge will report what the postage stamp receives in my UHI blessed, ocean loving, coastal plain, urban location. Many may say that a 6 or 12 inch gauge, at most, would suffice for my location. My purchase of a 36 inch gauge, accurately labeled as optimism wrapped in insanity, was actually done with fore thought. Bigger than 6 inches is always better. Thank you and all my kind and patient friends in the NW & NE Burbs. As always ….

Even though expecting 100% accuracy from a 456 hour long range forecast is delusional ….. the potential back to reality look (for the coast)) is sobering. Stay well all, as always ….

My ocean hugging coastal plain location can expect the top photos likelihood. I feel sure that the good folk of the NW & NE burbs thread will be blessed as the second photo indicates. Either way peace and joy will prevail. As always……

I believe Liberty has a serious allergy issue. Heaven bless him, he’ll certainly make up for his posting absence when he’s back. It been quite a while since I’ve seen a post from Will Rutgers. Is he okay? Stay well all. ……

Just saw this Walt.?. As always ….

Looking at my bare oak leaf buried coastal plain postage stamp I can, with appropriate word substitutions still hope. As akways …..

Well said, well done Don. As always ….

Possibly each of us with our own chapter? Stay calm and lucid ….. as always …

And Rob, I’m thankful for them and even for forky. May we all be blessed, as always ….

To many of us, no matter what you say, this still applies. As always …..
