I had ~7" in November but only 1" total for December (and that's optimistic, it was probably more like .7) then the other storms all turned to rain/freezing rain or sleet so the totals were minimal at 2" or less. With the great winters we've had the last 20 years or so my average has gone up to about 50, used to be mid 40's.

I'm at 14" now

^ Same. It looks more wintery than it has in a while. Whoda thunk, it can snow two days in a row here

20*, looks to be right at 1" and the last of the light snow is moving out now. I didn't believe it was going to happen so I guess it's a good thing the dogs woke me up to let them out or I wouldn't have seen the snow falling.

Sorry man, they just had the flavor of someone else. Most of us are good with storm discussion threads so post away.

Yeah I was pretty sure. Time to make him go away again.

@Rjay @BxEngine what's with the obs threads other than the good ones that Walt starts? Is this weatherminator guy who I think it is?

.1-.2, just a coating really. Pretty much the same as the few (non) events in December.

Nah it's gonna be 42* and dreary, no snow. With already thoroughly saturated ground I don't expect it to be nice in the woods until the leaves pop and the trees suck the ground dry. It might be bearable if the golf courses manage to dry out but I'm not holding my breath.

I have a sneaking suspicion that spring won't be as pleasant as we'd like. My crystal ball says it's gonna be back door hell

Yeah I barely had a dusting here. 21/14/NNE4/OVC It's not going to snow tonight is it? If it is going to where is it going to happen? All north of me?

18/8/N-NE3-5/SN-

Bummer. White or paper birch is hard to come by.

Except in my completely shaded driveway that has been a sheet/block of ice for weeks now.

Light snow in Mahopac now. 17/5/NW4/SN-

I hope this is wrong.

I'm really over this winter. My driveway is still a block of ice and it's a hassle to get the cars in without them sliding into some weird position. There's a reasonable walking path and the lower 25 feet is relatively clear but narrow. It's been cold without the prize and I haven't been able to get out and do the things I like to do and the ice has been annoying. I want a few inches of snow out of this midweek storm but don't want it as much as I want warm and dry. Julian, did you ever cut up that birch that fell in your yard a while back?

They brined the roads here so it's definitely gonna snow tomorrow.

I saw 171 up there earlier tonight. Did you see the communications tower at the top of Sugarloaf (ME) blew over when it was blowing at 130+ late this afternoon.

Did anybody else see that the communications tower at the top of Sugarloaf (ME) blew over this afternoon while it was blowing ~130mph? There are some great pictures floating around on Facebook. Crazy conditions on the high peaks around New England tonight. I saw Mt Mansfield avg at 108 with gusts to 132 at 7pm and Mt Washington at 171mph! There was surprisingly little damage here from the wind today. Some branches and a tree here or there but a lot less than I expected. I'd like to think that all the weak ones were culled over the last year or so but I know that's not true.

I both enjoy and dread really windy days around here anymore. I love the sound of the wind screaming through the trees but really dislike losing power to downed trees and branches. I have a bunch of stuff to do early tomorrow with the whole family in the car, gonna try to stick to bigger roads without as many trees hanging over the roads.

It popped slightly above 32 and it flipped to rain almost right away.

33/28/ESE/SN- It has been snowing lightly for about an hour now. Existing snow has a fresh white coating on it otherwise everything else is just wet.

So something like average to slightly above MJJ then +2 or so A & S? What about precip? I desperately want a drier year than '18.

Yeah what is on the ground locked up again last night. I'm thinking that the stuff that's still here is more durable than what we usually have at this time of year so I'll be curious to see how it holds up through the weekend warmth and wetness.
