yeah it was nice (other than the rain) but now it's down to ~40*.

Yup it gets like that in Tahoe too, I was amazed that it could even snow that much.

Or a hat

Alright, time to warm it up out there and maybe knock that wind down a bit. I really need to get out there and keep working at solving my car repair problem but it's fkn cold and unpleasant and I'm a whiny old guy.

I had nothing down here. Some friends in VT said it was very mild but noticeable so you might have had a chance.

I had partly to mostly cloudy all day. When the sun was out it was awfully nice. I spent the day in the driveway struggling with a car repair that went way above my pay grade and has my car disabled in the driveway on jack stands. A buddy stopped by with his chainsaw and helped me cut out the trees that were only partway down in the my yard. Now it looks like a war zone but there's only one, that we can't get to, hanging precariously. Then I went back to the car and tried some more before it got too cold and dark because it's mostly cloudy now and getting dark too early, thought I'd have another hour. IOW I spent all day outside and it was a nice crisp spring day of yore.

Anyone have any northern lights happening?

I have some mildly tilted asphalt that's relatively well protected from the wind and some good rocks that work well as wheel chocks. I'm gonna go for it but maybe not today, it's just too cold for me and my old hands.

Yeah that radar last night looked like it was running right down the 22 and 9 corridors for a while, hopefully the high terrain got something good out of it. I got a good coating on the ground even the street was covered earlier, it's windy and cold just like a good spring day is supposed to be... I really need it to warm up because I have a hardcore car repair to do so I can get back to work this week. Anyone have a warm garage I can borrow for 5 or 6 hours?

Yeah no accumulation here, it started to on parked cars on the north side of buildings but melted off just as quickly when it stopped. It was nice to see and wasn't a hassle to drive in which was good. Looks like we're borderline for a northern lights show tomorrow night https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/g2-moderate-watch-effect-23-march-2019-utc-day I might have to take a ride up north of I90 if the clouds break. I know my wife and kids are eager to see them, I've seen them many times but they never cease to amaze.

Its snowing pretty hard right now in Danbury

Just a feeling but upslope areas in the western Greens could do better than the Daks. I'd head for Smuggs or Jay area.

Looks like Petersburg Pass is in for a March Mauler. I'll be up that way on Tuesday, hopefully it still looks wintry with springtime sun dried roads.

D-. Too much wasted cold, too much ice and sleet, too much rain, rotten "snowcover" days and only 30" of total frozen precip. I'd give it an F but it was certainly more wintry than 11/12 which was the recent benchmark for dud winters.

A 4-5 foot thump in an hour would be insane. I've seen 12"/hr for 3 hours and that was something I don't expect to ever see again, I'd like to but I don't think I will. When you're in the house and it goes from daylight to darkness as the snow goes over the top of the window...

Yeah that was the real deal last night. I had all of the gutters overflowing for a while there. Now the yard is a muck pit. I had to move my car out of the driveway yesterday afternoon and put it out by the street on the front of the lawn where i carved out a parking area a few years ago. As the ground finished thawing during the day and the snowbank melted out it sunk a little bit, with all of that rain it sunk in about 4" and I'm going to have to tow it out this morning. It is completely high centered from one end to the other as it only has 4.5" of clearance. Maybe after another cup of coffee

I saw 70 on the dashboard this afternoon, actually I saw 68-69 it was my wife that saw it hit 70, in Danbury. It's awfully nice out there right now, too bad the woods are a total mudpit.

I saw 63 in Wappingers and 65 by KPOU on 376. Yeah the spray from melting snow was pretty significant, used a bunch of wiper fluid today. Heh, brand new tires on warm pavement on some of your local twisties was a bunch of fun today

What a nice day up here in Julian land. Not much snow left here, pretty surprising considering how much there us in CT. Yup the moths came out at my place a few days ago, so did the spider crickets

It looks like tomorrow may get into the mid 50's and so will Friday. As long as it stays dry tomorrow, and it looks like it will, that will feel pretty good. Friday looks like a washout.

Heckuva way to run a warmup eh

It still looks and feels like late winter out there this morning. Make it go away please I went for a 3 mile walk on the beach on Fire Island yesterday with y wife and one of our daughters and it felt so good to be out there but it would have been even better if we didn't need to be so bundled up. I love the beach this time of year.

I'll take my easy to shovel rain over .6-.8" of sleet any day

Well that was fun. It snowed hard for the drive over there and for a few minutes while I was there then it flipped to heavy sleet a few inutes after 6:30 and stayed that way for about a half hour. By the time I got home a few minutes after 7 it had pretty much stopped then started raining a few minutes later. We had 1/2" of dense slickery stuff before it changed over and then I fell asleep, it's all rain now. Dreary day... @DRVTS what's happening up in your area?

Flipped from warm to cold and turned to moderate bordering on heavy snow. Wind is way up at least here on the hill. I have to go drive to Danbury now so will have a better idea of what's going on when I get home around 7.
