  1. This fog is horrible, I can't see the houses on the next street down the hill about 300 feet away.
  2. If it's not gonna snow #bringbackthedrought
  3. We run a dehumidifier in the basement all the time, upstairs bathroom and kitchen when necessary. We have forced air heat so most winters we run a humidifier at night.
  4. Y'all just have the wrong approach and need to rejigger your expectations. If you go into it thinking that it's not going to snow then it's doubly exciting when it does. Appreciate how much $ you're saving on heating and how much strain you're not putting on your back shoveling.
  5. Yeah LB this is just ugly. Everything is wet all the time and everything is soft and mushy all the time but on the upside my herbs are still growing so I still have fresh rosemary and oregano.
  6. Depends on where the station is. I had friends that lived by Merrick Rd and went to School 5 and they'd have delays when we didn't because they actually had snow on the ground but there was nothing more than some slush south of about Foxhurst.
  7. Yup. It's a 10-25 foot high wall of tangled, overgrown, unkempt ugliness. I trim our side smooth all the way up a few times a year and end up with piles of crap that just sits until it dries out. When it's leafed out it sux getting out of the driveway. Suburban problems you've never known
  8. Most of those were just a sort of early end to the snow season and a sort of late start to the next. Only one other is multi-year. That's significant.
  9. It's a good thing we have some warmth incoming or this would be there all winter. For the nearly 30 years I've been here the neighbors refuse to trim the growth between us and won't let me do it either so the driveway is in deep shade from mid November until mid February. Usually once the ice forms that's it for a few months, it makes its own little freezer where the temp will be 10° colder than it is 50 feet away. Last year I went through 150 pounds of salt and 300 pounds of sand
  10. Water is still pumping out of the ground and our driveway is a half inch thick layer of ice from edge to edge. The street below is a 20 foot wide ice slick and the street leans to the downhill side so it's pretty sketchy to drive by and the downhill neighbors can't park in their driveway because they can't get out. We've been parking on the front lawn all week because our cars would slide out and right into the neighbors bedroom. What a pain in the ass.
  11. Mahopac. I guess the ground reached the point of total saturation because it appears to be seeping through the 75 year old walls.
  12. Sort of Most of the golf courses look better than they do in-season. Please no. I spent 10 hours yesterday sucking water out of my basement with a shop vac and this morning it's worse than yesterday. I'll be ordering a dupster to throw out a bunch of stuff we liked.
  13. @40/70 Benchmark Sometimes our reputation is justified but more often it's just what you said.
  14. Well, the basement was dry at 2am but not at 7am. I've been down there sucking it out 5 gallons at a time while moving everything out to the driveway. It's still coming in I think it's coming through one of the walls but the only way to know is to start punching holes in the sheetrock to send a camera in. This sux.
  15. 3.1", temp is down 15* already with the wind out of the NNW now.
