@Juliancolton are you under that streamer that's been stretched across Dutchess for a few hours now?
-
See I told ya it was gonna happen. I swapped out the winter wheels on the car last week in a kind of psych out move. Apparently it worked. You're all welcome.
-
Leaf out looks to be ready to happen any minute now and y'all are talking about snow. Remember 4/1/97? Yeah. Big mess. We can't stop the trees from doing their thing so IMO we should wish this to be a rainstorm because I really don't want another tree to take out the power line to our house again. That was stupid expensive...
-
Well, it looks like the trees and assorted other flora are about to leaf out any minute now. Unfortunately, if the chatter about colder and possibly whiter rather than wetter around the end of the month is right I'm foreseeing a situation like 4/1/97 but I can't imagine anything like 17" in a few hours this time around. Trees down, no power for a few days and lots of manual labor to clean up afterwards. I really don't feel like going through that again being 25 years older...
-
Of course it's gonna get cold again, I took the winter wheels off our cars this morning. I did it for you guys
-
@mjo - So much effort... You ought to take a nap now. Man it's nice out there now. It's a yardwork kinda day, there's plenty to clean up after all the ice damage.
-
I'm going to guarantee it snows again before it's all over. I'm taking the winter wheels off the car today.
-
Are we really thinking that we're done with snow for the season? I mean, a wet inch here and there are always expected up here through mid April but outside of those events is there anything of consequence implied or expected? We have a good sized road trip (to VA) late next week and I'd really like to take the winter wheels off before we go because the tires that came with the car are useless in the slippery stuff.
-
As I drove through your area yesterday that was my first thought and I wondered if you would post about it.
-
Yeah, ski season is going away quickly...
-
I just did another lap out to Buffalo and the epicness of mud season around the state this year is admirable.
-
Being just that little bit further north means better access to the cold air when it's available. This should mean that there's a wider disparity in temps thereby creating more intense precip (which could be snow or rain).
-
This was a blob of snow over MN this morning and moved across through the day. I'm actually surprised it held together all day. I've been looking forward to it getting here since early this morning.
-
If you have the memories that you do I think you should qualify as a museum piece which would mean they should pay you to be there. Try that next time and see where it gets you
-
I'd like to have memories of streetcars but that's a few minutes before my time
-
Is it gonna snow a bit in a little while? The radar says it will.
-
Start with a 7° per 1k feet temp difference then figure in all of the things that come with that and it starts to come into focus. Pay more attention to microclimates right here in the lohud and see the changes in 300 foot (or less) differences.
-
Back to a half mile or so vis with small flakes and it has that winding down feel. This backside band meant business! It was easily 2"/hr at the peak and put down a bit over 3" (so far). This one went from blah to Rahrah! at the end. Puts me solidly above 50% of average territory at 27"..
-
This is the best backside snow I've had here in years, I don't even remember the last time this happened. It's a snow globe world out there, it was easily 2"/hr at the peak and it's still 1"/hr. I have easily 3" additional and may get another half before that sharp back edge gets here. This went from an uninspiring whatever to a powdery wonderland in an hour. I'm at exactly half of my annual normal so if this is where it ends I'll be ok with it.
-
Vis under 1/8 mile, actually not much over 500ft, now. Heckuva way to wrap it up
-
Moderate+, 21°, windy with big flakes and it's accumulating again. If it's the last one for the season at least it looks good.
-
Well, I might have shot that wad a little prematurely it's snowing pretty hard and covered everything again. It's cold and it's windy with driving snow. It's winter! For one more day...
-
Snowing lightly, small flakes and pretty windy but not really accumulating. Everything is freezing up so get out there now and move anything you don't want to fight with tomorrow.
-
I'm so stoked! I got another 2.5" and that got me almost to 50% of normal
-
2" of white rain. Sure it accumulated but it's melting from underneath and the roads are already clear. It's pretty now but there's a lot of weight on budding branches that will freeze soon. When that wind comes up it's gonna get interesting.
