Giving up alcohol for the first month of the year has become a popular trend known as Dry January.

Many of us aim to give new meaning to the term Dry January by unwillingly giving up snow for the month.

 

Hard to give up both

Damn.  What a great upslope storm.  Still ripping in town with 9” on the ground.

Dense on the bottom, more powdery on top but also graupel and lower ratio flakes.

Good to get the snowpack down for the cold coming.

 

 

Ive been waiting for your snow pics today, its been snowing lightly here for a few hours, no accumulation but nice to see flakes in the air.

Bummer, wife send me a pic of water dripping from our ceiling. This happened about 1.5yrs ago and it ended up being the shower/tub drain putty upstairs had lost it's seal. We haven't used the shower in 1.5wks and she said she noticed the drip after flushing the toilet. Pretty sure it's not the wax toilet ring as I'd expect there to be water around the toilet, so thinking it must be the water supply probably leaking at one of the pex crimp connections in the ceiling. Looks like I'm going to have to start removing the pine ceiling panels to investigate. PITA.

I hate water problems, I have a huge stone fireplace that tends to leak when it rains hard, I'm up on the roof 2-3 times a year sealing it and looking for where water can sneak in, I tried flex seal this past summer and it seemed to work.

Played 1 round before year end with the new irons and wedges and shot 80. Early returns from that round and weekly simulator session are that I hit a hit draw with the shorter irons and a straight ball with the longer irons. Not mad at that at all. After chatting with a few folks, the natural draw is the result of the fitting being up 3 degrees from neutral. I also think I come from over the top and pull hook things a bit. Something to work on.

Have to get them fitted, you'll hit the ball so much better.

I have to use lotion every day to keep them from getting chapped.

I have to do my hands and feet every day or they dry out and crack.

I made the mistake of stopping in the Stowe Market in the mid-afternoon for a couple of things.  Wow, just wow.  Just so many clueless, self involved folks.  When the aisle in front of the register is 3 feet wide, maybe find another spot for your conversation.

It's not just Stowe, I've been to the grocery store when it's slow and they'll be two women with their carriages blocking a 6 foot aisle, oblivious to any other shoppers in the store.

It sucks, I know. But, even though, at the moment, there is nothing on the table, I have a sneaky suspicion something will pop and make us all happy. It may not happen this coming week, but, it will happen. The pattern is ripe for that. It's coming. 

It happens a lot like that when we got some good ones, you don't see them 10 days out but then a couple days go by and something pops up.

At least over the next 10 days or so looks to produce upslope snow into the mtns up here.

I just hope New Hampshire gets a good base; I want to snowmobile in February. Went up by Cannon last year, good trails and they had a decent base, also snowed a couple inches while we were out there.

That far south doesn’t even bother me. I cheer them on. 

If it's going to go south, go way south. I don't want flurries while Philly and NYC clean up.

I'm surprised by the lack of snow in far northern Maine, just a few piles leftover.

Great, another weekend spent picking up branches and sticks in the yard.

Hey @dendrite remember the picture of that massive spider I posted back in like August that was outside above the AC unit and you don't me, "don't you dare kill it?". Well it had remained within the window ever since, even after I uninstalled. Unfortunately, it is now a popsicle, it looks like its frozen and dead within the window sill. I'm kind of sad actually. It just stayed in its little home all these months. 

It's brumating, when spring comes, he'll be back.

Gotta love this solution for 306H on the GFS: The entire state of Tennessee is colder then the entire state of Wisconsin.

The cold air sweeps down from Canada right down the middle of the country and goes right, this cold is going right south, like to get it more north to us.

#1 of all time for me. 28” in CNJ. Duration and how cold it was will never be surpassed imo. Not sure I will ever get a 30”er…

Wasn't there a 30 incher where you are now before you moved there?

Yeah, I'd rather have a bunch of nickel and dimes consistently. I think 95/96 was like that.... Just an all out. Great winter. I think there was a biggie in there as well. 

With that said, I'm not going to be upset about getting a huge snowstorm either LOL. At this point and the way it's been the last several years, I think we're all looking for something.

There was a 20+ in there but we had built a good pack with all the smaller storms.

Euro wouldn't need a lot of work. That block is so strong though. It has a heartbeat, but I'm ready to charge the defibrillator.

Some will disagree and blame x y and z for why December wasn’t very snowy, but I would gladly roll the dice with the look we had. Just because it didn’t snow as much as I would have liked doesn’t mean there was something fundamentally wrong with the pattern that meant it COULDNT snow. It comes down to probability, the month of December will average slightly BN temp wise, and we had persistent western ridging. In my opinion that was plain old bad luck. Sure, it’s possible to have an extended run of bad luck, but claiming that just because we got unlucky in December or past years means it’s more likely something will go wrong again is bad logic. The probability this upcoming pattern will produce is what it is, what happened in the past doesn’t change that. 

I feel good about it with the cold source on our doorstep, with the cold there that's half the battle.

I’m not forecasting this but rhetoric like this was voiced frequently in the first half of January 2015.

Will kept telling us the longwave pattern looked good, be patient.

You don't know that. I didn't think 2015 could walk through that door until it did.
