  1. Finished up with an inch, wasn't expecting that....looks and feels like winter, in Spring
  2. I am ready for real Spring, but reality says half the days will end up crappy until June....Monday is really just ridiculous, it would be different if it were snowing. My pool needs a new liner, which won't happen until early June, so I am fully expecting 90s most of May and a crappy June
  3. Definitely greening up here....maples popping too, lows in the teens next week probably won't be very friendly
  4. yup, 23.2° here for the low....teens next week? My peach trees were budding pretty good, glad I covered them last night
  5. I actually heard a few on our hike Friday at our local Audubon....definitely out, just not terribly vocal yet
  6. 2.0" in Southbury....impressive squall around midnight helped. 33.3" for the season....
  7. Did you happen to look outside in the past 15 minutes? Might be the best snow Squall I have seen...
  8. wind swept snow....10 minutes of sleet straight to heavy snow, even here at 175 ft....everything coated already, temp from 43 to 33
  9. 3.1" here, going to take a run up the hill and see what they had has to be pushing 5"
  10. The only reason they loved him was he made them rich....now his decision to invade Ukraine has led to their financial collapse. They will turn on him pretty quick, their children already have. China expected a quick affair with a few sanctions tossed around, 2014 all over again. Clearly that hasn't happened, the last thing China wants is a long drawn out battle with the risk of nuclear weapons. They may end up being the ones that help put an end to this situation..
  11. We ended up with a Regency insert, would have preferred something freestanding, but with kids running around thought an insert would be safer. I am surprised how well it distributes the heat. Solar is great, especially if the roof faces the right direction. We produced 62 kWh today with our 10.08 kW system!
  12. Just had my wood stove installed last fall....perfect timing it seems. I filled my 275 gallon oil tank in October. I have used roughly half the tank so far and about 3 cords of wood. I have supplemented heat in my upstairs with a space heater before bed, especially on the cold days when the sun doesn't really heat up the house. The only electricity that I use is what I have banked from my solar production. I have not had an electric bill since my September bill. I paid $200 per cord, 4 cords total at the beginning of the season, paid $2.42 per gallon for the oil, early in the season....
  13. I feel like China, being neighbors to Russia probably will have a say in what Russia could use. The last thing China wants is a Nuclear war in their backyard. The way Russia is being slammed financially, China may decide to take Russia at some point, increase their land and and oil capabilities....
  14. 2.8" of mostly sleet here, did not take a core, just melted down what fell in the stratus and it had a remarkable 1.05"....if only it was all snow....maybe next year
  15. His already financially strapped country is losing a ton of money every day they continue this battle. Who knows how their military is handling covid? Their country is dealing with omicron right now, their vaccine didn't seem to do very well, despite their claims....Hong Kong is a disaster right now, I cant imagine what the Russian army might be dealing with.... The last thing putin needs is to level the country, if he does take it over he wont have any money to rebuild it. To top it off, a majority of the world is going to boycott anything coming from Russia....It really doesn't seem like putin cares anything for his own country at this point.
  16. That is a beautiful map and I wish it were correct....but, the mix line is always closer than you expect, I am sure many will be glued to the CC radar trying to push that mix line south. Lol, hopefully it stays in Jersey
  17. High of 69.1⁰, so close...felt almost too warm, oh well time for some winter on Friday
  18. How are we looking out here in Southbury? Biggest storm here this season has been 7.5" of fluff....
  19. Didn't take long for these to pop out.
  20. Still early to spike the football, but recently when the NAMs are on their own island so to speak, we know how it ends....Even when it was the Euro/Nam combo, in the end they were wrong, even right up until gametime
  21. Lol, Goofus...8-10 inches for most of CT...looked like the 0z Ukie
  22. Reggie is a frozen nightmare down here....Would be fun to experience
  23. The Nam only has 0.7" of liquid down here, the axis of heavy precip is well to the north....probably missing something and will suddenly make a huge correction southward. Both Nams down here are straight sleet, little to no snowfall and still fairly cold despite being so far north....So even in this case, we are still mostly frozen around here
  24. Either the Nam is completely wrong or it is on to something....hard to tell at this point. So we toss, for now....
