I cannot remember a time previously when MDT was 11 degrees lower than my for an official low temperature. Almost as remarkable as the half foot of snow about to fall in Baton Rouge.
6:30: Light snow. Temp is 23.5. Average of 3 measurements is 6.2". About 4-5" on the driveway. For the first time in over 1,000 days...it's time to shovel!
I'm starting to wonder if my no shoveling streak is going to be extended. It can't snow much harder than it is right now but there is nothing on any paved surface. Accumulating nicely on other surfaces.
When we were looking to buy 30 years ago I made a significant tactical error. I did not factor in snow retention into my matrix. I can't tell you how many times when I'm driving around looking at snow covered yards that I have serious regrets.
