  1. I think that here (southern Putnam @700 feet) it will start firm and translucent and will transition to clear and moist pretty quickly. It may firm up towards the end but it will be too little too late.
  2. Any thoughts on white vs wet tonight/early tomorrow? To me it looks white, or at least translucent, to start then turning clear and moist pretty quickly. It's warm now and with the mass moving SW > NE it should be bringing warmth with it.
  3. The skiing doesn't count, Holiday Valley is a shell of its former self and Villa Roma is a joke. Even if they do get the old Concord ski area open again that sucked when it was good. There's good golf, a good beer store and umm, not much else. Take Monticello out of the discussion unless you're into unrealized potential.
  4. I noted they're European. You are correct that there are no natives. There were but not in the modern era. Eohippus and another I'm not remembering now we're native to N America. Edit for this https://www.britannica.com/animal/horse/Evolution-of-the-horse
  5. They're probably Asian Jumping Worms not the typical European earthworms we're accustomed to. @weatherpruf I remember Mulen talking about his early season fishing adventures off the Whitestone section on the boards back in the late 90s.
  6. That was my first winter! I don't remember it
  7. I cancelled it months ago when heating oil was $6/gal. I'm a man ahead of the times ya know
  8. I pushed some snow around once just to make myself feel productive and to reduce the ice in the shady spots on the driveway the next morning. They still iced up and stayed slick for a few days. The plow came down the street twice that time and they've brined a few times, I guess they need to feel productive too.
  9. I've had wind driven flurries for hours. Just a dusting where the wind piled it up but that's a few days in a row of snow on the ground in the morning.
  10. We have a thing in Brooklyn this morning, it snowed almost the whole way down. I had a nice dusting at home before we left.
  11. It has been flurrying here for about 4 hours.
  12. I let the dogs out around 2:30 and it was flurrying. I didn't expect that.
  13. Thunder here. It was significant enough that our puppy woke up and came out to the living room barking and being all sorts of disturbed. I remember some serious t-storms in February a few years ago but don't remember them in the middle of January (Januarch?).
  14. .1 here and still 33° too. It was nice to see for about an hour.
  15. How do you think us weenies felt in the 70s and 80s? Other than a few notable events the immediate metro area for skunked time and again. @Typhoon Tip Thanks for the reality check
  16. I've been saying that for years now. Last week the roads were heavily brined ahead of the rain, yesterday they brined and salted. Grrrr I did get a dusting a little while ago so it will look wintry when the sun comes up. Meh...
  17. I have another tough winter going on so I'm ok with a warm one. Hopefully the new gig I just landed two days ago starts to pay off soon so things stabilize again.
  18. That ice storm was the real deal, I remember it but not well. The big snow a few days later meant more to my young self. Ugly night out there now. 39/39/RN S3
  19. If it's not gonna be cold and snowy I'd rather it be like yesterday. This is just unpleasant.
  20. When I had my ski shop in Patterson one of the kids that worked for me also made snow there at night. They used to spend ~$10k for electricity and air per night making snow. That was about 20 years ago, imagine what it cost now to run those huge diesel compressors with diesel costing nearly triple what it did back then.
  21. If that jet runs underneath us we have a better chance at white, or at least frozen, storms rather than wet.
