  1. It was beautiful and sunny. Now it's raining.
  2. This wasn't about how much, I got .75, it was simply about more water. The wind was more significant than a few days ago and the rain came down in sheets for 2 hours straight. My foundation really needs a few weeks to dry out, the water is just seeping through in a few spots now so the shop vac (and my ears) are getting a workout. At least if the surface freezes up next week the ground will get a chance to drain which is good but that means my driveway will become useless if I don't sand it every few hours. I need to move...
  3. My hill started pumping the water out overnight. It's spilling out of all the typical spots and a few new ones. The flow into my basement isn't as bad as last time, probably because of the new pressure relief valves I don't need or want any more rain. See what y'all can do to steer it away. Thanx.
  4. I have driveway piles but only because I put as much as possible in 2 small spots i thought I was getting away with a dry basement this time because there was no water yesterday. It found it's way in overnight and now it's a half inch deep again
  5. I think that with the ground thoroughly saturated most of this ran off. My driveway is usually like a small creek when it rains this much but the flow is already half of what it was 30 minutes ago whereas the last few it ran for days after the rain stopped.
  6. My wife told me to stop with the doom and gloom. She thinks everything she's seen about this is totally overblown. She said 'they're always wrong about the wind'. Then a little later she asked if we have gas for the generator .
  7. Looks wintry, sounds good and crunchy when cars drive by. After the whole day and a fair bit of overnight sleet and ice pellets the grass is finally (mostly) covered and stuff is weighted and matted down so next time it snows it won't take as much to cover it. That's good because I don't seem to get more than a few inches at a time anymore. I think I'll spend some time today taking stuff out of the basement again and getting the rest off the floor in preparation for the upcoming flooding
  8. 33/32 with some of the heaviest white rain I've seen in a long time (ever?). It's funny, I cleaned the cars off earlier and even though it's snowing pretty hard it's not accumulating on the cars. Sun angle?
  9. 32/32 with white rain grains and tiny ice pellets. This shit is Dense! It's white on top but quickly starts turning grey. I guess it's a good thing there's only about 3" of this paste You guys are all welcome, I gave up the needed dynamics for the greater good of the community
  10. I fell asleep and missed it all I heard heavy sleet on the window and woke up for a minute, looked outside and it was pouring rain and sleet that had washed the street clean so I rolled over and went back to sleep disappointed. Now it's mostly over and it looks like I have maybe 3". Blah
  11. I've got heavier than flurries starting to accumulate. Not liking the ESE wind.
  12. Yeah it's a whole different weather scene as you get over by Holiday Mtn. I see huge differences over a few hundred feet here. It'll be white rain in town, maybe coating car tops, and I'll have an inch or 2 at home a mile and a half away.
  13. Even lake effect zones are changing and becoming more altitude based, particularly in the North Country.
  14. Meteorology rather than modelology? Good luck with that. It seems most people would rather spend twice as much time analyzing models.
  15. I knew you'd appreciate that That's the trick right. Get high and stay high
  16. Yeah but the random biggies in between stretches of ice and mud isn't what to move for.
  17. IMO the only way to ensure that you see consistently snowy winters over the next few decades will be to head to higher altitude away from the ocean influences. I think that somewhere above 7k feet and north of about I70 ought to do it. That obviously takes the east coast off the table.
  18. I'm dreading the thought of hot rain falling into a bunch of wet snow. Gimme winter or gimme drought! aargghh
  19. Yeah you're pretty likely to be on the higher side of that. Enjoy it! I used to love rock climbing at Ice Pond. There's some tough stuff in there. If you get a chance to do some snow hiking on Sunday go into Mike Ciaola from the bottom on Havilland Hollow Rd.
