  1. I hope you have your shovel ready for this weekend
  2. We had a flash freeze storm here in '03 (?) that was terrifying to drive home after. My regular 24 mile ride was 46 due to blocked roads and hills too steep to get up (or down) in my 4Runner.
  3. I didn't realize the eclipse on Sunday night is also a super blood wolf moon. Hopefully a good viewing window will open and it won't be unpleasantly cold out.
  4. I love when it's like that. Not living right on a pond or lake I've only experienced that a few times and it's a source of wonder for me.
  5. You have to at least go outside to listen to it. There's something special and scary about ice storms that need to be experienced aurally.
  6. I know the models aren't running quite right and not being tweaked due to the shutdown, are they also not going to be sending balloons and such so not collecting proper data?
  7. Sun filtered through thin high clouds here. Freezing rain with teens and single digits happens every few years, not that rare up here. I think it was last year when I couldn't get into my car for 2 days because it was frozen shut after an episode.
  8. ?? You apparently haven't seen the overflow dams up here still running strongly. When it pops above freezing and the ground surface thaws it will still be muddy. We don't need more rain here.
  9. I was up for a bit early this morning and the heat was kicking on frequently so I checked and it was 11*. Cold...
  10. Yeah it sure would be nice if it wasn't blocked out like the last half dozen celestial events.
  11. I don't have the patience or knowledge, maybe @uncle W does, to run some scenarios based on the Hebrew calendar which is the longest running lunar calendar in use today. I'd be curious to see the results.
  12. At the moment it looks really good out there. Have fun dude!
  13. @SnowGoose69 I've been a heat distribution theory fan for a long time so someday I'd love to hear your ideas on that stuff. Especially in early and late season cases where wavelengths are transitioning from seasonally long/short to otherwise where one storm in the hemisphere can throw a wrench in the atmospheres plans.
  14. It's tough to formulate a scientific reason when using a human construct like the calendar. It might be different if it was a lunar calendar but I expect not too much.
  15. Looks like an inch here. Bring hot chocolate and watch the fun
  16. Every year the first t-storm of the year gets earlier. The last few years it was February now it's early January. In years past I don't remember any in Dec but November for sure. Welcome to the new NC.
  17. There was a solid coating so more than a dusting. I didn't get to step out but it looked to have a very grainy surface so I assume it finished with a topping of sleet of freezing drizzle. I'm curious to see how durable it is. It has also been very foggy since about 7am.
