    I think you need a few more question marks!!!!!

    Down to 6” at the stake this morning, 100% snow coverage, perfect for Christmas....

    I thought of you this morning, as disturbing as that sounds, it’s time to give this classic another read: http://web.archive.org/web/20010223220801/www.nationallampoon.com/flashbacks/xmas59/xmas59.html

    Yep, probably still listening to FM too. Take your music app of choice but for me I’ve discovered a number of talented groups with very good lyric writing by simply letting Spotify do its thing. Some of these groups might have had some limited air play on Sirius but not in FM, not around here anyway. The talent is out there, no question.

    Some improvement on the 12z with temps crashing Christmas morning. The snow depth map is totally for shits and giggles,

    My comment yesterday in the main thread still stands... breakout the Christmas shorts... #2020

    I’m guessing his low involves too much alcohol and poor judgement.

    Um Euro has 57 here Christmas morning...prefer I say the Christmas morning shorts?
  9. IrishRob17
    Break out the Christmas shorts.
  10. IrishRob17
    That’s impressive those two totals were that close.
  11. IrishRob17
    -3 here currently in Campbell Hall, well below the forecasted low thanks to the snowpack.
  12. IrishRob17
    Sitting at -3 right now.
  13. IrishRob17
    Yeah, that was one ugly run, lots of wind too...

    I was surprised up here yesterday when my 11" snowfall had a core of 1.53", there was 1.35" in the Stratus melted down.

    Wing plows are fairy common, although not so much in cities. Wing plows are used throughout the storm and you are correct once the snow stops crews will then use the wing plow to push the snow further back off the shoulders. Once the banks get high enough many crews have a wing plow on road graders and those will both cut the banks down and/or push them further back. Here's an example, yes its from Sweden, but it happens throughout the US in snow country as well:

    My old fat ass feels pretty good this evening especially after reading the posts in here...so I’ve got that going for me...which is nice.

    My core was 1.53”
  18. IrishRob17
    Well that didn’t go as expected...1.35” melted down giving me around a 8:1 ratio. I know I had crappy flakes, some resembling tiny styrofoam balls, but I wasn’t expecting a ratio that low. I know I dumped it after Monday’s event. I’m melting down a core sample off one of my snow boards now to see what I get there. Anyone else calculating ratios?
  19. IrishRob17
    And I read someone in the main thread yesterday say something to the effect that there’s no way to get 2-3” per hour rates for more than a couple hours or some bullshit.
  20. IrishRob17
    I’m melting what was in the Stratus but there’s no way to know it’s true accuracy. Maybe later if I feel ambitious I’ll do a core sample too.

    12z GFS has 50’s and rain Christmas Eve before the front barrels through...watch it nail that from a week away LOL
  22. IrishRob17
    Yeah, tough to get accurate measurements with this wind, 11” at my snow stakes.
  23. IrishRob17
    Now...if we can keep that quick warm up with rain away a week from now...
  24. IrishRob17
    There you go! Don’t get me wrong, while they picked up on the storm last week I’m still blown away by the huge swings in the models as we got closer. A couple days ago it looked like I would be on the northern fringe of the heaviest snow and in reality I wasn’t even close to the southern fringe. It’s the nature of the beast with snowstorms that’s only made worse by our access to all the models weeks in advance. So with all that, it’s easy to overlook what goes down as a solid snowstorm IMBY.
  25. IrishRob17
    Well that’s always going to sting. And it’s a chicken or the egg argument but the storm coming further up the NJ coast pushed those crazy totals to our N and W and that led to the bit of warming, no? Clearly not jackpotting will always bother people but at the end of the day a foot of snow with blowing and drifting and bitter cold, deep winter conditions, a week before Christmas is nothing to complain about IMO. Winter was cancelled at the start of December and look at what we have outside the window now.
