It’s probably is because although model runs show accumulating snow taking place in CT later, they dont show so much of it happening in PA. And PA is where the stuff is right now. That’s why it looks bad.

or maybe less of a cause and effect thing here but more of a… this is consistent with that dealio.

It looks to blossom later tonight when it hits New England, looks like a 1-3 stripe along the CT/Mass border.

Some lakes and most ponds are frozen with ice thickness from 3-6"

There's a coating on small ponds here too, even the rivers have chunks of ice floating around. A good week below freezing with maybe a single digit night or two would firm the ponds up enough to fish.

That is the truck that I ordered last July.  It's the Ford Maverick Hybrid.  40 miles per gallon but just front wheel drive.  I got the upgraded Lariat model and it was only $28K.  I also reserved a Ford F150 Lightning.  It comes out in 2022.  I will drive the Maverick and then decide to trade in for the full electric Lightning.  My worry is that there are so many electric cars coming out that fast charging stations will not keep up and there will be waits to charge.  Besides the truck on order we have aToyota RAV4 Prime.  That is a plug in hybrid.  So you can drive it on the gas/electric engine like any other hybrid but you can plug it in too and when you do you get 42 miles of pure electric driving.  So for us we drive on the electric 90% of the time and then the truck changes to the gas/hybrid and we get about 32 mpg. 

I was going to order the all wheel drive but hesitated, not sure what I want just yet.

I thought they had released a fully electric F150 already? I actually think it would be pretty cool. One thing that I should mention is that the Tesla is incredibly fun to drive. The acceleration is incredible and the motor responsiveness makes it a blast to drive around. I’d imagine a truck could have some impressive power. 

They have but I want a smaller truck, was hoping Toyota would come out with an all electric Tacoma

On a daily basis, I think it’s the opposite. You always have to think/plan to stop at a gas station. With a 300 mile range, I’ve only had to “stop” twice in about 4 months. In both cases it was very easy to squeeze it in with something else I had to do - one time I did grocery shopping while I waited, and another we just used the restrooms. 

I want to get one and have been holding on to my 08 Highlander to buy time to research and for infrastructure to build up, sounds pike it's pretty good now. Also hoping the prices come down a bit. Fords coming out with a new hybrid truck, I'd like a 100% electric truck but may have to wait for that.

Yeah,  they are.  Much more.  Since the house was built in 1795 it's considered historical and always had wood shakes.  So we went all out to try to match the beauty of those which I have had to replace twice sinc 1989.  These have a 50 year warranty so will way outlive me

I looked into metal shingles but Im 60 and don't plan on being here in 5 years so went with a regular arch shingle with a 50 year warranty, even if we stayed the shingles will outlive us. Yours look really nice though, I like them.

We put a new roof on the house this fall.  It's a composite plastic shake made by a company called DaVinci.  Similarly slippery as metal I guess.  Here is a picture of the roof.  This south side just let go. My weather cam is next to the door in the center.  I just made this video from it of the avalanche. 6 seconds into the video. Turn your volume down first.  If 3" of snow does this I can't wait until we get our first 1 footer.  The cats are still in hiding.  The pole is my Davis anamometer.  The weather station is out in the field not in view.

Are those shingles much more than an asphalt roof?

My Accurite's been reading 32* for the past several hours--no icicles have been dripping.  Perhaps it's actually 31.9

Westborough is a good cad spot. Found that out the few years I had an office there. I'm up to 34.

Merry Christmas guys! Hope you and your families are nice and safe. Honestly, I myself did not expect an ice rink today. Highly unusual this close to the Boston area. Many relatives cancelled. I haven't seen something like this in quite a while around these parts.

Same here, going to be a small gathering but I don't want anyone get in accident today. My sister from Maine got down to 95 and there were cars all over the place, three accidents within two miles so she turned around and went home. It's nasty out there in spots.

I'm at 33 now, just wet and slushy.

Everything. I’m relating to his experience almost verbatim. Those health measures were part of a solution that makes it much easier to not live unhealthy lifestyles such as daily heavy boozing.

I get it, was in the same boat for about a year after I lost my Mom, put me over the edge, got straightened out like you, Merry Christmas.

Weird, I read the post you quoted now and makes sense, when I first read it it quoted another post.

You probably saved your own life by giving that particular vice up. Those “oddities” were probably caused by alcoholic hepatitis of the liver. And you don’t have to be an alcoholic to get that. You just have to drink a lot.
 

I once drank very heavily for a year, and had trouble stopping. In the end I treat my mental health with medications and that reduced my need and cravings for things that endanger my health so I am doing a lot better today.

Glad you put your health above all else and straightened out but what does that have to do with the post?

I for one would welcome an extreme cold outbreak.  It’s been a few years since we had one.  I think this was Jan 2018.

 

Me too, I have a pic somewhere with my car therm at -16, been awhile

Looks like another nice refresher for the Whites. Still awaiting a big storm.

And PF will be posting radar shots of moderate snow
