It's been snowing all day now with almost nothing to show for it. Seems like a waste but it's nice to look at, I guess. That's what happens with super light rates at 32-34° with filtered sun. It is starting to coat the pavement now though. I dunno, I never expected more than 3-6 so all the chatter has been nothing more than entertainment, as usual.

Time to get high dude

It really is beautiful snow falling now, big soft flakes drifting lazily with no wind. Nice...

Here too, the pavement is wet but the snow is accumulating everywhere else. Good.

Yep here too

I think there's something to that. Get the column saturated and prepped so when things start to happen it happens quickly. 28* with flurries starting here now and barely a hint of a WNW breeze.

28* with light flurries commencing. Lets go...

Go to Worcester or Boston

Hey @wdrag We are missing your wisdom. I hope all is well with you.

Haha that would be great! No umm, it would be a hassle but FK! Almost 3 feet haha

Take 90 to 87 rather than 390 and 17. Stay out of the hills and on the big roads.

And it has that wavering around for a few hours. This is looking pretty interesting. Guess I should go get some gas for the generator huh.

Wind and ice are the two things I don't really look forward to anymore. I don't need the problems or the danger.

On snap! Is that an old subway or bridge token?

I'm no good at math. I used to get my kids homework wrong when they were in second grade so the teacher told them to find someone else to help. I'm ok with it.

That's what I told my wife this morning, this one is more about the timing than most.

The sites on WU are generally private property and sometimes businesses and those are all developed spaces of some sort so will be warmer than 1/4 mile away where it's undeveloped. When you're looking for a difference of just a few degrees that's where you'll find it, developed vs undeveloped. Like I said, take a thermo and go for a walk, I bet you'll find what you're looking for.

I see a few 1s and 2s but it's between 4-7 up here on the hill. Gonna spend the day prepping for the flizzard.

Questionable or no info going in can't give a proper solution, can it? I have a feeling that if you went out into the pine barrens and put thermometers in some of the hollows away from hard surfaces like runways you'd find slightly lower temps. Of course the temps balance out quickly, a little bit of mixing moves the air around and up goes the temp.

Yeah? No. I was gonna get one of those 10x20 tent things but my wife wasn't too hip to the idea. I gotta figure out something soon because having no car really sux.

Maybe you have some garage space I could borrow for a week or so. I have a good friend who's a high level mechanic that lives up there and he offered to help but only if I have a garage to use. I'll bring beer You are always welcome here. Consider it like that cozy lounge where your buds are hanging out with chilled cocktails.

Y'all keep doing this to yourselves time after time, year after year... There's a reason models can only give us an idea of what's to come more than about 3 days out. Until all of the factors are in a zone where they can be accurately sampled the data is insufficient to lead a more accurate solution. I see that they were flying off the west coast getting samples earlier and the result was nearly instant. Maybe someday we'll have a better way to get accurate data into the models sooner but until then all you're doing is making yourselves nut(tier).

Depends on how much you enjoy mud and slush.

I wouldn't complain if that happened, I'd be bummed to miss a good one but if it warms up next week like everyone is talking about the sting of not dealing with mud and slush won't be too acute My truck has been DOA for over a month now and I need a stretch of warm and dry weather to deal with it. I'd take it to a shop but the only ones that want to do this job are backed up for 2-3 months so I'm stuck doing it solo. Anyone here ever pull a supercharger off a Jaguar motor want to come help?

Yeah but you're only seeing the numbers after the fact. You know that being "in it" can be a much different experience than it would seem to have been "by the numbers". We had some events that were more significant, cold that was deeper and more pervasive, some ice events that don't even show up and, on LI in particular, it just generally felt like winter more than it does now. I'm curious, does the lake at Grant Park still freeze up sufficiently for skating? That used to be a really popular place for us kids to go for weeks straight every year.
