Had 2-3 hours last night of pouring ZR, then about 8 hours of scalping and then the last 3 hours or so of mostly snow with some IP mixed at times.

About .4-.5" glaze and 2-2.5" sleet and we'll see how much snow..prob not much..

 

Lose power?

Look at how easy it is to carry around this 50 pounds propane tank and melt snow!

And fast too

They make snow plows that go on the front of your snowblower. I might try to Macgyver one today lol.

That would be great when you get 2-3 inches of slush or sleet. They're a little expensive but worth it to save your back.

Woah! Didn't know they made such a thing.

I have one that I use for weeds if I had 2 inches of sleet I'd try it out.

Unfortunately I think that is the only option. Was hoping someone might have some clever idea or something more technologically advance than a shovel.

One of those weed torches might work

Looks like a pretty big dry slot over central CT up through MA border. 

Yeah, I have nothing happening here.

No, didn't see any flash unless I missed it not paying attention. I thought maybe the hot water heat boiler downstairs blew up or something but all seems fine here. My chair was shaking. Woke up the whole house so it wasn't just me dozing and dreaming. LOL

I only experienced it one time and I know what you mean, it knocked power out at the time but I saw all blue through my skylights when it happened.

Looks like the cold is making a push south in the next hour or two.

Whole house just shook and rumbled. Is thunder snow even on the table with this? It was weird as hell. Woke up my kids so it wasn't just my drunk ass hallucinating.

Did you see blue? When I saw thundersnow the sky lit up blue.

I just went from 40 to 44 in two hours, does look like the cold is moving south slowly.

No that is not possible imo. Unless we have a force field over the state. 

You do, centered in Tolland CT

I have light rain and snow eating fog, snows disappearing faster than the hair on Kevins head. Don't think I'll end up with much frozen here once all is said and done.

They probably just grind them into the cereal.

I can't imagine that any location, anywhere, has ever gotten 10" of sleet.  Right?  

I know Denver had a shitton of hail that they needed plows to clear, not the same thing but pretty freaky.

I was at a D last month but this month with the cold and snow brings it up to a C+. Ponds and lakes are all frozen and look to stay that way for awhile and there's a decent pack out here. Feb can either bring it up or bring it down, we'll see.

I see what you did there

Ok since people are curious I will assure you that my Asexuality is probably a consequence of Paranoid Schizophrenia. The entire region responsible for facilitating sexuality goes offline. NOW I can artificially activate it with heavy doses of amphetamine-related stimulants, but that is a lethal pattern I refuse to partake in. The ADHD amphetamines I take are too low of a dose for that and merely treat my ADHD. 

I was a go-getter in my youth before Schizophrenia began taking hold and naturally castrating me. Now back to Weather. I dont want to be disturbing the flow here but the convo came to that so I had to explain myself.

ah, you really didn't have to, we were good.

Dam…you’re missing out. But whatever floats your boat. Or doesn’t float your boat I guess. 

Aren't you paying attention? Nothing floats his boat.

I think it was Feb 1992 I went to Killington with my dad for a 5-6 day ski trip during winter break. They prob had about half the trails open. Brown grass showing on a ton of the closed ones. That year was really bad but even some other years we did day trips had plenty of trails closed due to lack of snow and it was mid/late winter when there usually is ample snow pack up there. But not during those lean years. 
 

It was a great time to learn to ski though because once the winters got good, you didn’t even flinch if there was an icy patch. I was used to skiing on huge slabs of ice during the lean years, lol. 

First time I went up north when I started skiing I went to Sugarloaf in the early 80s and all the steep slopes were ice. I remember looking up from the bottom and wondering why there was a lot of people bunched up, wasn't til I got up top that I saw the ice.

Me neither... def doesn;t have the upside of a potential blizzard, and it will probably wind up more wet than white for SNE.   I'm beat from last week

The last one was the first one in a long time that had big potential, that's why we spent so much time tracking it, for a lot of us it didn't turn out like we hoped so the next one won't get the same attention.
