  1. It's ugly out there today, cold with light mist. I was hoping for a nicer day than this.
  2. Those tornadoes in May '18 wrecked a lot of the best mountain bike trails around here. The majority of those are still blocked and starting to fade away. Unfortunately there's very little hope of getting them cut out and the trails reopened because the state and county won't give permission. It sux.
  3. I can't remember the last time it stayed so muggy that the streets stayed wet all day and never even tried to dry.
  4. It was a little muddy. Funny how I still like playing in the mud like I did 50 years ago...
  5. Yup I'm a fan of riding in 65* weather in January so that's what I did.
  6. Yup, I grilled last night and probably will again tomorrow. It's kinda nice out there right now and looking like it's just gonna get better. What should today's outdoor activity be?
  7. I dunno, I thought it was a much nicer snow than the squall in December. I only got .5" but it wasn't very windy and the rates were insane.
  8. I love that stuff. It's gotta be fun skiing under the lights tonight. Looks like it's pretty much over down here, everything is drying up as it downslopes off the Catskills. I got a few more short bursts that didn't add up to anything but it whitened the ground slightly. It's cold and windy and it feels very wintry now.
  9. When you get 10-12"/hr for 5 hours straight and the snowbank outside your window goes from sill level to over the eave and it gets dark in the living room at 1pm it really sinks in how awesome and terrible heavy snow really is. 16 hours of shoveling the next day totally brought it home. Thankfully the 7-11 across the street didn't run out of beer
  10. Was it NYE or NY day we had thunderstorms? Damn I can't remember a week ago... I'm so fkd That was pretty amazing, thunder and lightning with heavy rain, dime sized hail and frozen goop at about 45*.
  11. Are you saying that it's not over, there may be another round of squalls? It kind of has that feel...
  12. That was pretty intense. .5" ought to do it.
  13. The frost is more noticeable than the 7 flakes that fell.
  14. Nope not here. I'm at about 10" of frozen precip with about 2" of that being snow and the rest ice and sleet. 3 ice storms in a row to start the year kinda sux.
  15. It's definitely not what it's supposed to be like around here. Ah well, enjoy the low heating bills.
  16. I think I'm still at or under 10". It almost felt like winter for a few weeks there, a few days sure did, but it really doesn't feel any different than November or March.
  17. Sorta, I had a fair amount of pellets and graupel with that. Calling this an event was more sarcasm than reality I barely have more than a coating but I'll call it a dusting because it sounds better.
  18. Nice dusting on everything. I hope this isn't the only all snow, no ice event of the season.
  19. Of course that was the second year for the ski shop I had just moved into a new building. It didn't snow and things were worse than touch and go until a friend helped me out and we turned it into a mt bike shop in March. I think the local ski area, Thunder Ridge, had a season total of about 15" and that included 2 sleet storms.
