    Yup. It's a 10-25 foot high wall of tangled, overgrown, unkempt ugliness. I trim our side smooth all the way up a few times a year and end up with piles of crap that just sits until it dries out. When it's leafed out it sux getting out of the driveway. Suburban problems you've never known

    Most of those were just a sort of early end to the snow season and a sort of late start to the next. Only one other is multi-year. That's significant.

    It's a good thing we have some warmth incoming or this would be there all winter. For the nearly 30 years I've been here the neighbors refuse to trim the growth between us and won't let me do it either so the driveway is in deep shade from mid November until mid February. Usually once the ice forms that's it for a few months, it makes its own little freezer where the temp will be 10° colder than it is 50 feet away. Last year I went through 150 pounds of salt and 300 pounds of sand

    Water is still pumping out of the ground and our driveway is a half inch thick layer of ice from edge to edge. The street below is a 20 foot wide ice slick and the street leans to the downhill side so it's pretty sketchy to drive by and the downhill neighbors can't park in their driveway because they can't get out. We've been parking on the front lawn all week because our cars would slide out and right into the neighbors bedroom. What a pain in the ass.

    Yeesh, those guys that got closed out in the pipes must've gotten hammered. Those waves are huge!

    Mahopac. I guess the ground reached the point of total saturation because it appears to be seeping through the 75 year old walls.

    Sort of Most of the golf courses look better than they do in-season. Please no. I spent 10 hours yesterday sucking water out of my basement with a shop vac and this morning it's worse than yesterday. I'll be ordering a dupster to throw out a bunch of stuff we liked.

    @40/70 Benchmark Sometimes our reputation is justified but more often it's just what you said.

    Well, the basement was dry at 2am but not at 7am. I've been down there sucking it out 5 gallons at a time while moving everything out to the driveway. It's still coming in I think it's coming through one of the walls but the only way to know is to start punching holes in the sheetrock to send a camera in. This sux.

    450 feet! That's the real deal.

    3.1, still raining but nowhere near as hard as it was just a few minutes ago, temp is down 15* from the peak at 62, wind is now solid out of the NNW
  12. gravitylover
    3.1", temp is down 15* already with the wind out of the NNW now.
  13. gravitylover
    If it was just 30° colder...
  14. gravitylover
    Passing 3" now. The wind roared for a few hours, now it's just howling occasionally. The schools closed for the day.

    I dread strong W or NW winds, we have 2 huge old trees behind the house that are vulnerable to the directions and the house would be in the way as they go down. I hope you're wrong but I don't think you are.

    @wdrag some of the smaller rivers are already bankfull like the Croton River from it's northern end right to the Croton Reservoir and the Housatonic in Western CT. When they reach these levels it doesn't take much to send them over the banks.

    That's me

    A few stand out but I've had faulty brain syndrome for a while now and storm details are even blurrier than they used to be. Ya know, if it's not gonna snow I'm totally good with winter days like this.
  19. gravitylover
    There used to be a ski area with rope tow in the park.
  20. gravitylover
    It looked like snow for a while but it was really just rain wearing a holiday costume. Light rain at 35° now, 1.7" for the 2 days.
  21. gravitylover
    1.6
  22. gravitylover
    Maybe there. I was supposed to be mostly dry until lunchtime but it was soggy at 7 and drizzling by 8. This fog could go away. Hoping for no wind. Expecting 3-4" of rain.

    That's a business I'm disappointed I didn't get into years ago. There were so many places land was cheap as could be in the 80s, old farms that were $20-100/acre that would've been perfect. Stuff like that wasn't even sort of on my radar. Silly kid...
  24. gravitylover
    Yeah there was still a full coating on natural surfaces this morning. It was kinda nice
  25. gravitylover
    It flaked for a few hours, sometimes it was flurries. Whatever fell yesterday melted while it was snowing today.
