Remember, I'm ~45 miles in and at 700 feet so nights are cold. I think I undershot and therefore underbudgeted for the cold 3 months and with the pop in oil (and diesel) prices it's a bad time to be stuck buying enough for 6 cold weeks when I probably only need 30-50 more gallons.

Anyone still hoping for cold can contribute to my home heating oil fund At heart I'm a wacky winter weather freak but my wallet has been abused lately and it needs a break.

Sort of... Big Bear area above LA, Andorra and the Atlas Mtns in Morocco are pretty close.

Ha! When I saw that pic earlier I thought of you. Marquette MI

Thoughts on travel conditions into the Daks on Thursday? I need to make a quick run up to Saranac and back.

I was outside at the tail end and saw the flurries here. He was a solid poster, always thorough and professional. It's amazing that he posted right to the end and there was no indication of a problem. RIP Roger Smith

14° in just a few minutes here too. The rain was crazy, like a bucket got dumped on us, for 2 or 3 minutes. That was fun.

My wife disagrees with you

Wisdom ^^ What up fella? It's been a while. Welcome to our overanalysis discussion I think we need to rejigger our approach to grading as our world changes. I think of it like a dimmer switch. The earth says 'I'll tilt over this way and turn the lights down for a while, see what you can do with it'. 90 days or so later, the lights ease back on and bubbles of warm and cold struggle as it balances back out. Does a cold one land on your area? This one fired on all cylinders for a while, it delivered for those 90 days. You can make yourself nutty hyper analyzing and get to A-- or whatever. I'm giving it an A. Now it's time to move on to a groundwater maintaining spring where it rains a half inch, two days a week as the world leafs out.

Lol. Everywhere but paved really, makes for nice distinct lines like landscaping. It looks great right now as the sun is coming up over the ridge

I got .2 on some surfaces.

Down to 38° and the radar is showing frozen precip just a few miles away.

Unnecessary panic because we're discussing a backside inch or two? And yes, by definition it would be considered a snow storm. I can think of several accumulating snows after warm spring days, 4/1/97 comes to mind when it was a beautiful spring day and 6 hours later I had 17" on the ground. This obviously isn't like that but it will be a dramatic turn and it will be cool to watch happen. 1988? Back to the sandbox with the shiny toys for you >>

1" here. That was some crazy intense fog around 6am before the wind kicked up.
