I hit a fantastic squall on the way to work this morning. It was just north of Sharon VT about 6:45 or 7am. Went from 33 and fine to 28 and 100 yrd visibility almost instantly. For about 4 miles it was high winds and near white out conditions. Fortunately a car had passed me right before we hit the wall of snow so I had its tracks to follow an an occasional glimpse of its rear lights. By the time I reach the office the temp was 18. Folks will be glad to know that it was dumping in Stowe with 2 or 3 inches on the ground.

Well it has snowed almost non stop here for the last 3 weeks. The sad part is despite this, our total accumulation is exceeded by Pensacola in this period.

I would argue we need to build the pack first. If it rains now, it will wipe out the pack and little will be absorbed by the frozen soil. If we build the pack and rain later then the pack will absorb it and build the liquid content. Then when it melts gradually in the Spring it will release it slowly and allow for better absorption and consistent feeding of streams through late Spring.

And last year was a poor peach crop due to not enough cold air in Georgia/ South Carolina the prior winter meant the trees had not had their required amount of time under freezing. Quite a change in one year.

There has been some mention of it in the February thread as the threat is not in January.

Nice visible satellite showing the Gulf coast snow

What about Blizzardcanes?

Live in New Orleans- someone was just doing a snow angel in the street

Does the location not show up on mobile devices?

2.2 new here in W. Norwich Vt at an elevation of 1240 feet.

But having the SREF giving me the jackpot 2 days out can't be a good thing

Beautiful out there at the moment- deep blue skies, low 20s, little win, fresh snow.

Snowing in NC for those who like to watch snow fall. GO WILDCATS!

In case you had never come across it before:

So a normal Saturday in winter in these parts.

duh, of course we are, I locked it in backed then. What is the point of locking in a 40"+ snowfall if it then doesn't happen?

Latest New Kids on the Block release?

I found the rapid rehits of lightning really amazing until I realized the video was a less than 2 second loop. Pretty cool still.

No worries, had I been going for a joke about the picture it would have been something along the lines of that on the plus side, the dirty snow piles have a lower needle content that the piles in the Burlington City Market parking lot.

Sorry I didn't mean through the winter too. I just meant through the summer. Our nights here get too cold by mid- August and the sun goes behind the trees by 2 or so by that point too. The pool just can't keep warm enough for us to use much. (Above -ground Intex pool)

On the plus side, you can keep an unheated pool above 65f all the way to Labor Day

I woke to 3" new on the board this morning. Almost all was a surprise as we maybe had half an inch when I put the dogs out to clear skies around 7.

Starlink satellites?
