we pelt we coat, we whiten up... all is not lost

snizzle for the last hour of so, very light accumulation on non treated surfaces, too little too late I'm afraid for the cold...

actually rose up to 34 here and drizzle, driveway glacier still there but dimished some, luckily still have snow cover here, congrats NNE looks like a nice storm up there...who jacked? edit: 1.58" rain since yesterday here...

yeah appears about done, looks like west NY/PA is filling in a bit, but by the time it gets here, it won't matter much

just now finally getting a couple pelts rotting at 33 for hours, seems like it's moving now, winds here have increased a bit from the NW now, not drastic, but something

I could go on for paragraphs on how it's not, but I'll not clog up the obs thread with all the propo over the last 50 years about it

cyclical, just like everything else, the whole CC narrative is to fear monger people into fleecing them out of money, I'm sure there were periods before recording started where there were little great winters and some stretches of great ones i have went through the data for winters since 32, when the nearest station to me began official obs, and until the mid 50s, it was mediocre, from the mid 50s to mid 60s, it's was prolific, then another lull, peaks and valleys, anomalous winters sure, but cyclical nonetheless

yeah I'd edge on the side of caution, it's rushing in, for up here anyway, ZR no joke, especially in the hills, I remember driving a work van years ago off 183 in Torrington and it was ZR patchy and I nearly slid back down the hill of the industrial park onto 183, that day people were all off Rt 8 in Harwinton, but was rain in Waterbury

no lots of school around here already called it, I know Winsted and I think region 7, looks like the front is right on my doorstep, 32 and below at the NYCTMA borders, it's down to 37 here now

.52" RN today, went down to Waterbury today and the fog as I got just past torrington was pea soup, eating that snow away, still have a glacier in the driveway, though it's about half as thick as yesterday...

Down to 38 here, 7 degrees in 3 hours, steady rain yet...

yeah 17-18 was last good season here too, and March 18 was last 16+ I believe, have to check that one

was just going to post, down to 40/40 with mod RN, after reaching 45 just a couple hours ago, I can feel the cold air coming, just hope it ain't ZR, I will take anything but

let's see that cold dam right down the east slopes into WCT and get this frozen instead of wet..may have some blocking issues here with the drain as well depending on the direction, usually do pretty well here with CAD

yeah kinda stalls and rots for hours, while we rain

man it's like I'm 30-40 miles off in any direction this winter...

chipping away at this 6" glacier

Amazing how 40 degrees feels like 65 after the month we just had, and a the first 40 degree day in autumn feels like below zero, cold rain here, but as I said feels warmer than 40

looks good for the NNE ski areas, they need it bad, maybe this will aid in my glacier removal, spent two hours today chipping and shoveling absolute ice, ugh

I'll never forget that one in the mid 90s where we got inches of it, after some rain then snow after and brutal cold... maybe 94, but I can remember driving around in it and having a blast, probably a good analog for this one, maybe Will remember that one

seems the orientation of the front, if stalled, would be interesting for my area, or at least NW of me, would not want to be going back and forth between warm and cold, we'll see, always looked to be toeing the line here

some valley locales will possibly get prolonged ZR in SNE, but looks to me like 925-850 just go above 0C for a few then collapse SE, no?

looks like lots of sleet followed by a nice thump of snow, as long as the ZR stay away, I don't care

great I'm heading up to marlborough Fri morning, good times on the pike

go to military surplus and get ripstop rain gear, stops the wind and water and the best money you'll spend if you have to work in elements, trust
