Noisy sleet hitting the windows with a couple wet flakes mixed in.

The Ensembles have been pretty damn consistent for 3 days now.

12z GEFS 6"+ probabilities.  BUF to BTV to BML steady as she goes.

I have somewhat unrealistic dreams where a 1000 mile wide and 200 mile deep derecho comes at me from the northwest and the last radar frame I see before my roof peels off looks a lot like this.

-2.7

The lake must be frozen over pretty good. Good radiational cooling now.

Yep... it's actually frozen all the way up the channel to the bridge. Been quite a while since that happened.

-8.1

Slightly more brutal than expected.

Man oh man, just had two back to back gusts that had me moving to the side of the house furthest from the trees. It's just roaring. Cranked up the heat just in case.

Overall lame storm but with a sweet grand finale. B-

Must be about 6+" out there and I'm pretty sure half of it fell in the last hour.

Nice waist deep drift has encircled the bird feeders which is the only place on my property that I need to get to on a regular basis.  

Just left the office after doing some paperwork for the last few hours. Did not expect to come out to a roaring, full-tilt nuclear whiteout. Omg. 

Wind died way down about 30 mins ago, so the great blizzard of 2022 is now just starting to cover the pavement.

And to think I was worried this storm was going to cover up all the sand I painstakingly applied to the icy spots on the driveway.

Drift below the beam? Nice growth here. Drive SW.

Must be. Three hours of snow but I’m not even sure this qualifies as a trace, lol.

Personal micro deathband of invisible snow continues. Pretty sure it’s sublimating faster than it’s accumulating. Wind is pretty gusty now.

Upslope off the ossipees? Not that anything is actually happening, it’s more like frozen miserymist.

Prices of rooms certainly haven’t gone down though.

Even if hotels did lower rates to pass along 100% of the savings from not doing things like breakfast or daily housekeeping, it's unlikely you'd even notice.  At 15/hr, daily housekeeping on a stayover costs about $3-4.  No personal experience with doing breakfast, but I assume it's about the same.

Nice to see you post again.  I missed you.  You kept me on the straight and narrow!

 

I'm trying to make the world a better place, one accurate pond depth report at a time. 

Since it's now or never, I made the brutal trek down to the lakefront to replace my anemometer. My anxiety going up on that boathouse roof grows with every year. The ice was rumbling constantly, and there were a couple of big booms that spooked me. I wasn't expecting to be able to feel them so clearly.

Anyways, 2mph with gusts to 4.

Your not.  If the prices went up 25% here, they went up 25% in Hawaii too 

I was curious, so I just looked at the prices for the dining options at some hotels in Ka'anapali.

You can start your meal with some warm hawaiian rolls for $12. Add a side of roasted potatoes for another $12.  Generic fish of the day is going for $49. Chocolate cake for dessert is another $14. Add a Mai Tia for $17. 

I'm stuffing my bread maker into my carry-on bag because I'm not paying $12 for some rolls.

Never thought I'd see Hawaii hotel restaurant prices here.

The gauge on the oil tank dropped like 1/2" last night. 

-11.9

-14 for LCI

Coldest for here in several years.
