  1. Meh, it's cold enough that the heat is running more than I want it to. That's cold enough
  2. I dunno, it only got to about 16 when I was out and about this afternoon so 20 below avg is pretty significant.
  3. This is another one of those times where a wee bit of elevation makes a difference, my area is entirely above freezing and has been for a little while now. It's been just rain and anything that was shoveled and cleared yesterday is pretty much just wet except in sheltered or northerly aspect areas. We have to go out in a bit and I'm hoping it's like that around the area not just here on the hill.
  4. It's snowing pretty good, couple inches down. I'm going back to sleep.
  5. That was just a weird time all around. A benign winter was probably a good thing.
  6. This is a mess. I live on a dead end and the cross street is a 20% grade below and nearly 30 above. There were a half dozen cars scattered with 3 in yards. No real damage because they all stopped right off the pavement but the street wasn't even walkable. There was a cop here and he had to walk up a block from the bottom to direct the salt truck and stop more cars from turning onto the hill. It looks better now but it just rained hard for a few minutes and it's still 31°.
  7. Oof. Cars scattered, everything is going sideways and it's raining hard while it's still below freezing. This is going well
  8. Damn it's sketchy out there. The neighbor put the car in gear and moved an inch, next thing you know the car is sliding down the hill and across the street into the yard. It stopped before it hit anything but the old lady was crying.
  9. Hey guys be careful when you step out the door. I've been getting pretty heavy freezing rain and ice pellets for a while now and it's getting scary slick out there.
  10. Oh damn that's not flurries. It's light rain and ice pellets mixed with a few mangled flakes. It's getting louder
  11. I've had a couple of bursts of pretty heavy rain. The first it was 25° when it started and everything froze up instantly then the second round a few minutes later was heavier and it was 27°. I have a feeling that when the sun comes up it's going to be really pretty but scary. Now it's flurrying and 28°.
  12. Ask the people down in VA along the I95 corridor if the fast moving system yesterday limited the effects too much
  13. For me the best warm day to snow is April Fools 1997. It was in the mid 50's here during the day and by about midnight there was 17" of glop on the ground. After a warm March and nearly snowless winter the soil temps were nearly 50* already and the trees were leafing out. It was a disaster...
  14. Damn winter cold and such... My truck blew a critical coolant hose and it's pretty much disabled until I can deal with it. Unfortunately if I take it to a shop it would cost a couple thousand dollars just in labor Can someone order me up a week or so of 60 degree temps so I can do it in the driveway? Man I need a garage...
