    Many long low rumbles here with a short bout of torrential rain.
  2. gravitylover
    Well that was a nice little t-storm with a very quick half inch of rain. 44* and miserable out there

    Try 21 year old twin daughters that are stuck with their old parents.

    This dreary weather isn't helping being stuck at home.

    Well, settling into our new normal doing some bike riding and starting to clean the house. Slowly. I could live with weather like yesterday and today for a month straight, see what y'all can do about that would ya.

    In all the chaos leading up to being stuck at home I forgot to check the oil, doesn't it figure that the last cold shot with snow is the night that we run out Not sure if we can get a delivery today but they said they'd try otherwise I have to go out and get 5 gallons of diesel. I really don't want to go anywhere right now.

    I have birds fly into the windows pretty often. We have a big picture window that kills a half dozen a year and injures many more. The sunroom windows get beat up by birds flying into them, I think they see the plants inside and go to land on them but find a sheet of glass in the way.

    ^^Pretty much the same here but I don't think I got over 1" at any time. Areas that melted off after the morning batch got covered again with at least another half inch so I'm comfortable calling the total 1". All rain now making for a wonderful slush consistency that soaks your shoes in seconds. Mmm yum

    It's dumping, honest low vis wind driven winter goin' on outside.

    Heavy, heavy sleet now. Edit: 5 minutes later, no more sleet, huge flakes now. Edit 2: Heavy snow, everything is covered even the street.

    That was a nice long burst of moderately heavy snow with a rapid flip to sleet. Now it's that dwindling down, light, frozen and semi frozen wind driven stuff. Yuck...

    It never got above the half inch here but it hasn't stopped snowing. It warmed up just enough that it's mostly melted off but it started snowing harder a little while ago so it's sticking to itself, what was white is whiter otherwise it's sloppy wet. It sure adds to the melancholy feel of the day with almost no moving traffic on the street.

    31*, touching on 1/2" now with light-moderate snow on a mostly SSE wind.
  14. gravitylover
    I'm hoping for an inch, well, not really but if it has to be sloppy I'm gonna be optimistic. Dynamic storms that have a radical flip aren't uncommon up here with 4/1/97 being the king in the last 20 years.

    No Whole Foods will get some, not like usual but, between that and the seeds I have I can get started. There are a few farms I can ride by that might have seed potato and garlic so that's part of the plan. Hardware stores are considered essential and will be open so will they do their usual, will HD and Lowes? I know a few people in the food delivery chain and they are talking about shortages in some categories, mostly peripherals so far but that's fluid. Grow your own

    An inch or less now and it's not going to start until the morning. It was a "better" forecast when it started at night.
  17. gravitylover
    In 07? No, the last 3 frozen precip events were all sleet.
  18. gravitylover
    Yeah I'm just worried about food supplies and such so wouldn't mind getting a jump on it. I know it's too early but I'm not real comfortable with our current situation.
  19. gravitylover
    I could go wash the car if you think it will help. Nah, already tapped into the beer stash. After this round of cold it kind of looks like spring wants to spring. Time to get things planted yet or will that be a waste because we are going to get another shot?
  20. gravitylover
    Big? In context I guess but nah, not so much. It's nice and crisp today and it looks like tomorrow morning ought to be downright cold ahead of this storm, I've seen worse setups that's for sure.
  21. gravitylover
    ^^You went to pick the kid up from school? Are things starting to leaf out along 17 yet? I feel so out of touch with things because we're essentially trapped in our little worlds now.
  22. gravitylover
    My p&c says 1-2 and a bit more Monday night.
  23. gravitylover
    Looks like some seriously heavy rain rolling through. What's going on in Poughkeepsie and just north? T-storm or just heavy rain?
  24. gravitylover
    Still stick season here 35 miles to your NW.
  25. gravitylover
    That was the worst period... The last 3 storms of 07 were pure sleet and the first storm of 08 was too. I don't remember ever expending so much effort to move frozen material out of the way. It was like picking up a shovel load of ball bearings which, as you might imagine, is a pretty challenging endeavor.
