I just finished fixing up my shovel collection. I'm ready

It's good to see ya dude! Hope all is well.

And there's another one coming if this guy is right https://www.severe-weather.eu/global-weather/polar-vortex-collapse-stratospheric-warming-february-2026-cold-united-states-canada-europe-fa/

Sun's up and so is the wind. Lol. Temps are leveling out quickly now between 4-6°. edit: stabilized at 3-4°

Temps range from 1° at the highest spots on my hill, up to 6° down at the bottom on the Croton River 4 miles away. Strange that there's no inversion this morning considering there's no wind. Man, it bugs me going into a storm so cold and knowing it's gonna get warm upstairs. That heavy, ball bearing shit sux to shovel but it's not as bad as an inch of slush under 6" of paste.

Many people would benefit from more education...

That warm nose is starting to concern me. It's prone to change to sleet here earlier than further west and stay crystally as that IVT they mention in the discussion gets it's act together.

That road can have wild temp swings in just a few hundred feet depending on exposure.

Mornings like this really show microclimate details well. I see temps within 3 miles as low as -6 to as high as the 8° I have now. At one point right before sunrise the spread was 15°!

Already down to 11°.

If we don't get into a better growth zone soon this is gonna move out before I get to 4". It never stopped snowing but it hasn't accumulated more than a tenth or two in about 4 hours and now it's just slowly coating things.

" Heh, sorry boss, I took the wife to Key West for the long weekend. See ya Tuesday"

Slowed down but never stopped and keeps accumulating. Plow just went by so I'm gonna go push the mush out of the way.

So far it's an A-. If we end up over 40" for the year it'll be an A.

A bit over 2" now. Flakes are tiny but still coming down nicely and accumulating. It's a dense mat that's deceptively difficult to scrape and it's pretty heavy. Yay
