I just commented in the NY thread…I smell smoke on the breeze. The air down here is thick with haze, as bad as its been this week. Is it from Canada or is it something else? This has happened before about 13 yrs ago when Colorado was on fire so it is possible.

Am I crazy or am I smelling smoke? I am pretty sure there is a light whiff of it in the air.

I love late season snow piles. When I was a kid I would grab a couple snowballs from the last of the spring piles and throw them in the freezer for some reason I can't really recall. Prolly I was like pretending I had snow year-around since there was some in the freezer.

I just picked up a bunch more wood pellets for this cold spell. Damn. Hate this shiz weather upcoming.

I sprang for the mini split a couple years back. I got a 36000 btu multi head unit and it handles the house pretty much. Cheap to run. I decided also to get a heat pump water heater which is also cheap. Bonus: I have a dry basement now! I used to have wall units which sounded like helicopters and cost a lot to run. Wish i changed em out sooner.

I have seen plenty of bears including grizzlys in Wyoming. The scene was clear to me! The bear was running down the deer. Adding that one of the 2 boys might have caught some of the action in their phones. I will try to track it down.

Hmmm. I call BS - this is not always the case. Last August I was driving in the Catskills with an exchange student from Germany who just got to the US a day or 2 before. He was talking about how amazed at how much wilderness we have when we all spotted a big ass bear tearing up a hill toward a few deer that were feeding. I never saw anything like it. That bear was a killer. We passed by before the scene ended but I think the bear had closed enough ground to get to one when we saw it unfold. To me it was behaving. Like a Savanah lion. The German kid was freaked out. He never saw a bear in the wild much less a killer bear. Me neither in my 50 years!

You are still among us. It worked.

I don’t know how I resist the urge to do the same thing and bolt. I know you are not supposed to do that. Stand there and make noises and wave arms and make yourself a threat, so the theory goes. That feels like basically the bear would think thats the bell from the ice cream truck ringing. one time I saw a bear at night. I did not really know it until I was probably fucked. I was walking down a road and I saw its eyes in my flashlight way down a bit and I thought it was a racoon. Beady green eyes. Not a deer. When I got to the spot the bear was (he left) I realized the eyes would have been 3 feet off of the ground and then I put the 2 and 2 together and damn near pooped my pants when I realized I miscalculated. That thing could have 10 feet from me right then! I did not run because I didn't know if I would be running toward the bear! I just beamed the light in every direction until I got back to my camp. Shit scared literally. Same as you. I feel you, man!

pattern from Newark and possibly Philly to logan and Europe routes heading northbound most likely

I think we need to add the eggplant emoji this site.

They need it for the watersheds, esp. lake Powell and Meade. Those need a decade of snow like this to catch up most likely. At least this year the water diversion to Southern California won’t be needed thanks to their record snows as well.

Alta has an 18 foot BASE rn. Thats OTG! she got the goldmine, I got the shaft

We used to call it Dr. No. It kept our trouser tents in check from GFS fantasy storms. To me, its known more for the reality check.

Sometime around 2015 or so some western ski areas were running until August. Cant remember if it was Colorado or California somewhere. Sick.

I was WTFing at the first picture! Buffalo thought they were king shit in December. Sierras were like hold my beer.

That would certainly right a lot of wrongs from today's system.

There is a signal next week on the GFS and Euro, looking like a Miller A on the last couple of GFS cycles. Yes, sell...

It's a weather board. Don't shoot the messenger but this is a Miller A right where we want it at this time.

Back to barely anything falling...ova

They could still find another few inches if something goes right later in the month.

Yeah I was wondering if any location was going hit average with this even with the abomination of a winter in most locales. Even if we got 20 around here, we would miss.

I have quarter mile viz here now. There is additional accums on the grass and stuff but pavement is wet which is fine with me.

I've moved up from enhanced flurry to light now here mid Westchester. Sometimes it kicks up to moderate. Snow growth seems to have improved. It's pretty to look at.

I guess I am little more optimistic about getting another 3 inches over here in mid Westchester county on account of what NJWX just said and what some mesos seem to show.
