Would love to see a verification photo?

Don't forget, he's on a high mountain, snow almost year round up there.

Im at 29, got a solid inch, slightly above, still some light snow falling. Going to be a good weekend with cold and Pats playing in 15 degree weather. Maybe Buffalo will get some snow and make it a snow game.

Yeah, I ended up with a little more than a dusting, but not quite a coating.  

Somewhere between a dab and a smear of more or a schtickel?

That's warm, mine went from 32 down to 30 and the snow has been sticking on secondary roads.

Light snow. Good for the soul, even if it doesn’t stick. 

what's your temp?

RGEM looks pretty realistic. main WAA push with the vort into the HV/far W CT, C CT kinda gets skunked, then the coastal front enhances precipitation as the coastal gets going into RI/E MA. BL issues neuter accumulations down to PYM/Cape

Looks like a Hazey special in NS.

My grandfather took me to my first Patriots game back in 1990 against Washington. It was the last year the field used astroturf before switching back to grass. It was a horrific night with temps in the 30s and steady rain. 
 

Very on-brand for that season, the Patriots threw a pick six and then got safetied when the long snapper snapped the ball into the stands out of the back of the end zone for a safety on a punt attempt. So the Patriots were down 9-0 and Washington’s offense hadn’t taken the field yet. Luckily for my grandfather, he was a huge Washington fan all his life. 

Back in the early 80s a friend of mine calls me early Sunday morning, he has 2 tickets to the Pats against San Fran, snowed 8-10 inches Saturday night, we get to the stadium, they didn't clear the snow so we had to brush off our seats and our feet were on top of 18 inches of snow, my ass was frozen by half time. They lost and were out of the playoffs after than game.

Schaefer when it was Schaefer Stadium, lol,  Yup, Those aluminum bleachers sucked, Make sure you sit on your number.

If you weighed over 160lbs you didn't fit in your area, most football fans are fat asses so sitting on those cold bleachers was tight to say the least.

December 14, 2003 I think was a snow game Vs Miami. 

The night before had like a 30+ incher, they never got to clear the stands, people were sitting on top of snow drifts.

He’ll look it up, or remember from studying it, but he wasn’t born yet. 

He still knows, I used to think he was a hundred years old for remembering storms long ago.

Blew a lot of $$$ on those $7.50 bud light 16oz plastic beer bottles back then.

Remember the crap beer at the original stadium? That was cheaper but awful beer.

@OceanStWx talks about that game since he went to it. It was so cold the beers were freezing in the stands if you didn’t keep drinking them. 

The first outdoor hockey game they had was I think in Edmonton, and it was 20 below, the beers were freezing faster than you could drink them.

I remember a good storm I think it was 1977 about 2-3 days before Christmas and then an arctic front blew in blowing the snow around, that was a last minute save and it was a decent snowfall, Will would remember.

Ya 92-93 got going nice..that was a good one too. 

92-93, 93-94 and 95-96 were all good, I was in western Mass at that time and I remember trudging through waist deep snow to look at houses.

not true. I'm 52 and have been 153+/- 3-5lbs since college.

I weighed 170 in my 40s and until my 50s, now at 200, trying hard to get back down to 170. It came for me.

I mean it may be a sad look to a once promising pattern, but we do this same song and dance every season. We've "wasted" December, when a place like ORH only averages about 10" through this date and has 7.5" on the season. The season could still end up just fine.

Thats because we want it to snow right after Thanksgiving and keep building pack right up to April 1st. I do remember one year where we had a pack almost the whole winter with several good storms, I don't remember if it was the 90s or early 2000s.

Ya - despite having that event in December 2020 the season total in Hartford that season ended up at 30"....well below the 50" or so average......Hartford hasn't had a normal total since 2018-19.....and here we are about to lose December and the first half of January.....so theres only 6 weeks to get it done......pathetic the last half decade - so even in the CTRV that all youse like to remind me I live in it has been pathetic.......time to get shit going again

I wouldn't punt until mid-January just yet.

We only have a tree when the grandkids are here for Christmas, every 2nd year, and it's set up on the front porch - with 11 people in a small house there's no place to put it unless we yanked the Jotul out from its corner.   
Always get a tree from our woodlot, though last year it was the top from one of the many trees blown from the lot and onto the powerlines on 12/18.  Genny ran for 101 hours, longest outage for me since Jan 1953 (6 days, NNJ ice storm).

WE have a big house but when we host my wife gets a 3 foot tree because she's not into decorating a big tree and having the cats knock all the balls off and break them. One of our cats used to climb up the tree and take a nap.

When he sells his snowmobile for a wave runner he may start to think about things. 

He'll rent a cabin in northern Quebec.

I would be happy if we can get one 20-24 incher in January or even February, miss those big storms, it's like a two day holiday. Multiple small ones are ok too but not the same.

We had 5 storms worth 45.0" in 10 days, 2/7-16/2017.  Our Lab mix thru Maine Lab Rescue arrived (from TX) on the 4th - quite the shock for her!

Bath co-op recorded 16" from the freak band in mid-December 2020.

My labs loved the snow, used run head on into the drifts and had to hop out.

I LOVE seeing someone else who gets Christmas trees that are NOT sheared. Every year both myself and my mom cut down trees that are left in their natural untouched state. I love the old-fashioned look to an unsheared tree, and decorate it to look vintage as well.

 

You put candles on the trees too for that authentic colonial look?
