I could live with 70 and sunny for 8 months if you give me cold and snowy for four months. Unfortunately, there's nowhere in the world where that place exists.

Sort of... Big Bear area above LA, Andorra and the Atlas Mtns in Morocco are pretty close.

Where is this?

Marquette MI

Thoughts on travel conditions into the Daks on Thursday? I need to make a quick run up to Saranac and back.

Two day event total here was 1.33".  Trace of snow on the deck this morning.  Didn't see it fall but per radar the rain ended as a brief period of light snow or flurries overnight.  Winds howled from late afternoon yesterday right up until daybreak.

Sad to hear about the passing of Roger Smith who posted in this forum.  Always seemed like a gentleman and a knowledgable guy.  As someone pointed out he posted up until the day of his passing.  

We never know when we or someone we love will see their last sunrise or sunset.  Embrace the day.

I was outside at the tail end and saw the flurries here. 

He was a solid poster, always thorough and professional. It's amazing that he posted right to the end and there was no indication of a problem. RIP Roger Smith

14° in just a few minutes here too. The rain was crazy, like a bucket got dumped on us, for 2 or 3 minutes. That was fun.

...winter grading ... perception

Wisdom ^^  What up fella? It's been a while. Welcome to our overanalysis discussion

I think we need to rejigger our approach to grading as our world changes. I think of it like a dimmer switch. The earth says 'I'll tilt over this way and turn the lights down for a while, see what you can do with it'. 90 days or so later, the lights ease back on and bubbles of warm and cold struggle as it balances back out. Does a cold one land on your area? 

This one fired on all cylinders for a while, it delivered for those 90 days. You can make yourself nutty hyper analyzing and get to A-- or whatever. I'm giving it an A.

Now it's time to move on to a groundwater maintaining spring where  it rains a half inch, two days a week as the world leafs out. 

Lol. Everywhere but paved really, makes for nice distinct lines like landscaping. It looks great right now as the sun is coming up over the ridge 

I got .2 on some surfaces.

Down to 38° and the radar is showing frozen precip just a few miles away.

No, I'm not the one creating chaos. You're the ones doing it by causing unnecessary panic by saying there's going to be a snowstorm, when you all know it isn't going to happen. When was the last time you saw snow immediately after 80 degree days? Because I can't think of one of the top of my head. And I'm not young, I was born in 1988 and remember the 1993 snowstorm.

Unnecessary panic because we're discussing a backside inch or two? And yes, by definition it would be considered a snow storm. I can think of several accumulating snows after warm spring days, 4/1/97 comes to mind when it was a beautiful spring day and 6 hours later I had 17" on the ground. This obviously isn't like that but it will be a dramatic turn and it will be cool to watch happen. 1988? Back to the sandbox with the shiny toys for you >> 

1" here. That was some crazy intense fog around 6am before the wind kicked up. 

73 here 

I had one strip from a drift left at sunset. Other than that no natural left, just shovel piles.

Yeah some.drifts and shaded areas but it's gone enough that it just blends in now. I still have mailbox high driveway piles, some of those will hang out for a while because I purposefully shovel them to be as dense as possible inside the hedges. The other side was as high but melted off today. Gonna go fire up the grill 

And... poof. Snow's all gone. I'm good with spring now.

A-

And BAM  

This fog is crazy. The houses across the street are just ghostly shapes. Front yard is 20% torched off where it had blown clean in that first big storm in January. Otherwise, I still have full coverage about 4" thick. 

Still had 100% cover about 4" when it got dark, we'll see what's left when this fog is done with it tonight.

It hit 32 and the fog blossomed. More yuck.

Nice and picturesque? More like miserable and dreary with a cool snowy blast. 3 hours now of 30° drizzle kinda sux. 2 blockbuster storms, plenty of "real" cold and snowcover for almost 3 months made it a pretty damned good winter. I'm done with it

How many hours of rain at 30° is ok? It's been steady freezing rain for an hour. Yuck.

Bryant Pond Road Putnam county!

That's the other side of town from where I am but higher into the Taconics. Looks like they got a little more than I did before it flipped to sleet and rain.

How much has it accumulated?  We're switched over for the duration down here, but can still live vicariously.

 

Looks like mix line is up near 84 east of the river on dual pol.

I measured 1.8 right after it ended. It was pretty amazing watching it snow like that but in many areas it was melting almost as fast as it fell. Anything in an area that would be sunny saw a slushy accumulation up to an inch, while "dark" areas are 1 to almost 2". Early and late season snow patterns are always interesting.

Post a photo!

 

Heh, I didn't take any, was too busy ogling it and standing there listening to it thump on my head I also can't figure out how to delete years old pics so I can post new ones.
