It's here. Temp is slowly falling, down to 29 now 

I guess this is the OBS thread too? It's been flurrying here for a bit with a stiff SE breeze picking up @ 31°. 

Got some beer and an interesting cheap bottle of Bourbon, gotta get a mixer tomorrow. I haven't started the generator in way too long and only have some old gas so I guess I should get a new gas can, fresh gas and a can of starter fluid. 

My back hurts already.

Barely a dusting here. There are some cool crystal shapes in it.

Yeah what's with that Hudson Valley gap? 

Yep, flurrying here too

well here’s another possibility

that the GFS is wrong

Nah, that never happens 

I don't even want to go out to get the mail.

This incoming storm has *shitty* timing. I'm supposed to dose up on that innards cleanser at 6pm Sunday for a colonoscopy at 7:30 Monday morning. I'm guessing I won't be in any shape to go out and shovel the plow pile at 6am right after I take the second dose  

32° with moderate rain 

^^ You're too far north

Well, considering the last few years I'm already above the new normal

I had to go out to Montauk yesterday. It was weird to see as much snow all the way to the east end as there is up here. They also never came out of the soup so the temp stayed in the upper 30s.

.1+ 

I don't remember those years being that long. I also don't remember what my wife said we're having for dinner in a few minutes  

This is definitely the most days with snow cover in the 30 years I've been in this house. It almost balances out the slightly under 2000-2020 average to keep the winter an A. Almost.

Great for sleigh riding but how many kids even own a sled these days ? I still have mine purchased on Christmas Eve 1966 - who remembers that storm ?

Nope. But I have a valid excuse. I was 3 months old. 

We just took a ride up.to Tivoli, it flaked along the way, things here are wet at 36° and the sun is trying to win. Looks like it's snowing pretty good over in the Catskills.

Popped up to 38, dropping and snowing now

Nah can't be, winter's over

Lol

Yep, 37 and snowing now. Fun weather day

Sun went back into hiding but it did its job. Up to 38° now 

It was crunchy and ugly until, all of a sudden, the sun came out and *poof*, the melt begins. Up to 35° already and it feels awesome sitting here in the sun with the dog sprawled on the couch

Didn't go below this morning so it looks like yesterday's -5 will be the low for the season unless something unexpected happens. Time to start the melt now, I'm looking forward to seeing some pavement and less water ice in my driveway.

-5

I had 1" before the wind. It snowed steadily from 8pm until around 9am. The town plow actually came by twice, once to slush things up and then a while later to scrape the shit into my driveway at 25mph. Fuggers...
