  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. It has been flurrying here for about 4 hours.
  5. I let the dogs out around 2:30 and it was flurrying. I didn't expect that.
  6. 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?).
  7. .1 here and still 33° too. It was nice to see for about an hour.
  8. 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
  9. 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...
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. If it's not gonna be cold and snowy I'd rather it be like yesterday. This is just unpleasant.
  13. 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.
  14. If that jet runs underneath us we have a better chance at white, or at least frozen, storms rather than wet.
  15. I have garlic greening up today. @JustinRP37Catskills foothills? I hope you weren't thinking Patterson. That's solidly in the southern Taconics. Someone mentioned spotted lanternflies coming out. We should hope so, they'll freeze and die before being able to breed and lay eggs again.
  16. Yeah, warm warm warm, heavy rain then instaflip to insanely heavy snow around 8pm. 17" of paste fell in a matter of hours, trees had started leafing out way early due to all of that warmth the preceding two weeks and chaos ensued. It was a mess...
  17. Yeah it is. I don't really want to do it in the driveway in the winter by myself so I'll probably pay the shop I usually use for stuff I don't feel like doing. At least they offer a solid guarantee and they do a lot of them (and they're cheap). This fog today is terrible.
  18. That's some serious fog out there, visibility is under 500 feet.
  19. I haven't actually stopped there yet but I've had their stuff a bunch of times and love it. It's at the top of my hit list after I scrape up the $$ to replace the engine in my current vehicle and I'm mobile again.
  20. I drove past your zone today and it was 2-3° warmer than pretty much everywhere else. I think I saw 62 here and along the Taconic it was mostly around 60 except in central Dutchess. We stopped at Cooper's Daughter distillery on Rt 23, it's all outdoors which is cool but it's a mudpit. Good thing they have some awesome bourbons and vodkas so I didn't care that my shoes nearly got sucked off my feet.
  21. @wdrag I was thinking similarly, if the jet can stay south around 35N we have much better chances. I wasn't here in Jan 93 when it set up like this out west so don't remember the result here but I do remember the result in 94 and it was mostly positive and that was also a west to east firehose.
