  1. Who doesn't ski trees? If the conditions are sufficient that's the only place I want to be.
  2. No, no rain would be terrible. After a relatively dry last 7 months we need the water. There's very little snowmelt going to go into the reservoirs and those of us that live with wells also need it. Drought sucks and it can be worse than too wet.
  3. Oh please no :( Winter can be over, I'm fine with it but please not 4 rainstorms in less than 2 weeks.
  4. Winter can hang on north of I90 or above 1500 feet north of 84 for another couple of weeks but it needs to be done down here.
  5. IOW a winter similar to what we used to get before the supercharged transition era? Yeah.
  6. 20 years. You know the drill Give him 20 years and he'll be as dumb as... me
  7. I need 30" to get to average. Two blockbusters ain't happening. Glad you're closer to seeing it happen.
  8. One thing that always stuck out to me when reading the early history of the area is the early Dutch settlers often mentioned snow on the ground, on Manhattan island, well into what we consider to be spring now. For the area to have a snowpack well into March was quite common and in many cases agricultural seasons were much shorter than they are now with cold and snow being a thing at both ends of the winter.
  9. I'm still just short of 20". I hope Walt is right and we get a couple of nickel and dime events over the next week or so. Since we have white stuff on the ground we should see if we can hit or even pass 40 days with snowcover in a low snow winter.
  10. I think part of the problem is some people don't even learn a little bit. I mean extreme emotional responses to mundane events. "Waaaahhhh I'm not the one getting more than 4"..." You're just realizing these two things now?
  11. Yup. Good thing I spent those hours cleaning where we have to walk because the rest of the property is mostly inaccessible.
  12. Until these things were available we didn't see the kind of extreme event emotion we see now. As more layers and solutions are offered it gets worse.
  13. Yeah the 35° it's up to, with thick clouds, is really helping to melt some of this garbage
  14. With as much moisture as was in this crap I should only be a foot or so below average at this point but I'm still more like 18-20" short. This stuff sux
  15. It rained from the start at about 1am, never stopped even while it was pouring sleet and teeny ice crystals (snow?). The rain finally stopped about 10 minutes ago at the same time it popped to 33°. That was the worst 3 hours of frozen-mystery-material removal in a few years. Thank goodness it was warming up through it not getting colder... ~2" of crystally, ball bearing like stuff that was very wet at the bottom. Yuck.
  16. It's a disaster here. My east facing windows have water running down them because of the rain but it's sleeting really hard too and it's 25°.
  17. Enough with the damn rain at these temps What a mess.
  18. It keeps flipping between precip types. The stuff on the ground is as dense as anything I've ever seen. 23° and ugly.
  19. It was nice snow for a while, good growth and the wind was NE but then, all of a sudden a few minutes ago it flipped to heavy sleet (again). 24/23/ENE3
  20. Transitioning to mostly snow with some sleet mixed in. There's a layer of ice coating everything. How unfortunate that it started wet, it's dangerous out there.
  21. Transitioned to mostly snow with some sleet mixed in after coating the place in a thin layer of ice. I opened the driveway door to check it out- Yuck.
