    I was in SE CT when the front went thru, temp went from 62°>44° in just a few minutes and there was a light squall as it dropped through the 50s. That was cool.

    Yeah I should've clarified, only melted areas that aren't flat are drying
  3. gravitylover
    Yep. Other than shaded areas it's cooked. The melted off areas are drying out quickly too.

    Wet is good, better if the ground thaws first otherwise the only beneficiaries will be the reservoirs and downstream users.

    The low level salt haze tastes like shit coming thru the vents. I especially like the poof of salt dust when cars change lanes.

    Big patch melted out in the front yard and is greening up already Everything else is still 100% cover. This stuff ripened in no time, really surprised me. I thought the ice cap would hold stronger but that couple of tenths the other day screwed it up.
  7. gravitylover
    Same and 3+" everywhere else.

    I noticed yesterday that the 2 big reservoirs below my house are full for the first time since September 2024. One of them even had the overflow open with a trickle happening.

    It's snowing nicely and everything is coated already. I'll take it.

    You can all whine about the waste of effort tracking this event and the futility of it all but I'll bet that the person who was involved in a car crash because someone else thought 'meh, it's barely a dusting' wishes that they'd paid attention better.

    Can I hope for above avg overnight temps? It's ok for daytime temps to be a bit on the low side because *sun angle* helps keep the house warm so the heat doesn't run as much. I'd like it if I don't have to get another oil delivery before the cold season ends.

    Do you own a home heating oil company?

    My driveway is a half inch thick clear water ice I'm afraid to move a car, if it starts to slide it may not stop until it hits something down the hill because the street below the driveway is that same ice sheet. Those bags of sand and salt I got a few days ago are gonna get much lighter soon.

    How did you get off so easy on the ice? Damn. I'm easily at .3-.4 and hovering around freezing all day with dense freezing fog now at 32. Where? No they suck, especially above about 500 feet.
  15. gravitylover
    Hovering between 32-34° depending on whether there's a breeze or not with dense frzg fog Yikes

    OMG what a mess. I got as high as 33 but the precip never stopped and the ice kept accepting. It's been freezing mist for the last hour now and the whole neighborhood is a sheet of ice except where they salted, that's just slushy mush piles and wet. Now it's raining again and the temp is creeping down
  17. gravitylover
    Yeah? It better. I have .3" of ice and it's accumulating quickly at 30°.

    25/25/SN back to snow with tiny flakes here after a mix of big flakes and sleet for an hour and change. This is some dense shit Gonna suck to push out of the way before the rain makes it even heavier.
  19. gravitylover
    25/24/SE2/SN Everything is covered nicely and it's snowing but the flake size has been very small so it's taking its time accumulating although that's starting to change.
  20. gravitylover
    So for Thursday, this is snow to start but will change to rain? How far north are we thinking the rain makes it? I have a significant road trip and am hoping to get an idea of what to expect for the drive home (from Chicago) Thursday overnight.
  21. gravitylover
    I stayed snow longer than the rest of you by being further east so I was well over 4", probably close to 6, before the sleet. By the time I went out at 6:15 it was 4 and compressing quickly. I did a quick pass with the shovel, cleaned the car and left with 80% of the driveway untouched. I'm betting it's gonna be a frozen disaster when I get home tonight.
  22. gravitylover
    I thought it was over after a few hours of questionable precip types. It started snowing again but still tiny flakes.
  23. gravitylover
    I'm closer to 16" than the ~10" in the season update map at the end. Great work though, I can appreciate the time and effort something like this takes
  24. gravitylover
    The Champlain Valley gets skunked in both of these.

    I'm disturbed that I've had to lower most expectations so low but it has reduced the disappointment and turned it into understanding. I'm a salesman, I have to figure out how to be edit from the next few years or I have to go find a low paying service job because that's about all that'll be left soon.
