    I have light snow falling now. It's mighty dry out there with a 16 degree spread for it to be snowing but there it is.

    Those first 5 months or so of 1969 were incredible in New England. I think that's the year that the snow depth in Tuckerman Ravine reached 100 feet and they were skiing right through the summer and into the next year. I distinctly remember this at 7 years old in Oceanside where I grew up. I have hazy memories of earlier snowstorms but this ice storm knocked out our power and made life difficult and kind of scary to a little kid listening to trees exploding outside the window at night.

    23/7/NNE2/OVC The ceiling appears to be lowering slightly but that may just be pollution getting trapped underneath. Being up on a hill I have a fairly long view and get a different perspective on some stuff than if you're down on the flats.

    I do it for the cookies. @wdrag yup, 19 degree spread here right now also.

    Oh man, you're right but I just shaved most of the banks for visual appeal yesterday. I'll just use the pusher shovel and put it all in the street

    26/7/N1/OVC We have eggs, bread, milk and beer. We're good.

    Boy I hope so. I really don't feel like dealing with ice and power outages and all of that. Maybe I should go wash my car

    I spent two hours yesterday moving deep snowbanks away from the house preparing for the incoming ice and wetness. I still have at least 4-5 more hours of the same. I'm sore but it feels good to be outside working hard. This covid thing and not being out working and doing stuff is wearing on me. I do what work I can do sitting at my desk, sometimes walking around the living room while on the phone, that's not sufficient movement and I'm going stir crazy enough to be truly enjoying shoveling snow. That's fkd up. I also shaved the driveway banks yesterday to make them look better haha

    Lets just scoot this puppy a bit south. I want to go totally over the top for a monthly record.

    I forgot to post, I ended with 1.5" of pure fluff. Blow on it to clear the windshield kinda stuff. Temps were in the teens during the bulk of it and stayed in the low 20's for a while after. It added to the driveway bank height nicely

    The big storm I had 2 sleet periods. I had to dig a path across part of my front yard today and there are two layers in there.
  12. gravitylover
    In a way I won't mind if we get a (very) little bit of sleet. Adding ice layers to this snowpack will help it last longer. Big picture, I'd rather not because it sux to shovel and with 5' driveway banks it's even worse.

    I woke up to check and to my surprise it's snowing. I had reserved myself to being happy with flurries but this is/was the real deal. There looks to be at least a half inch of fluff. 21/18/ENE3/SN-

    In a deep valley along the river bank high in the Rockies of NW CO. They meet at -40
  15. gravitylover
    Really? The lowest air temp I've seen is -57°F. It's not much different from -20
  16. gravitylover
    What about us up here in the northern hinterlands? I'm thinking I should prepare for an inch or less.
  17. gravitylover
    Yes but it has to be, or have been, sunny enough to cause evaporation and really still air too so that the crystals can form and precipitate out.
  18. gravitylover
    You'll be fine. I'm hearing that it's in great shape there right now.

    Final lazy flakes are floating down now. Final is 3.5-4 so spot on what Upton had me at. I'm still a few inches shy of average for the season but I don't keep formal records or do the most accurate and proper measuring so, yeah. I stuck a yardstick in the ground in a bunch of spots and got between 12-15" so not too bad considering how windy the big storm was and how thin things were right after it and with head high driveway banks it really looks like deep winter. I just checked the P&C and it looks like Thursday is off the table and the weekend is just low chance. What do we think about that?
  20. gravitylover
    Nope, today was spot on. Upton had me at 2-4 and got 3.5. This was also forecasted to be a much shorter duration, it has been snowing for 11.5 hours now and never went above 28*. Sunday was a good bust and the big storm was the best bust in years.
  21. gravitylover
    Yup that's where I'm going to finish at too, 3.5. It's still snowing and accumulating but the back edge appears to be just minutes away on the radar. I was asleep when it started but I know it was snowing at 5am so it's 11 hours now. 27/25/N3/SN-
  22. gravitylover
    Yeah Best way I know of to ruin a nice fluff storm.
  23. gravitylover
    I had just under 3" from the main burst this morning. I've been literally on the fringe since with occasional flurries with slightly heavier bursts for a minute or three at a time, nothing that accumulated though but, for the last 30 minutes or so it's been mystery precip. It's frozen but really wet and now everything I cleaned is a sheet of ice and it's flipping back to all light snow as I'm typing. It ought to be fun when this sticks to the layer of ice that's forming on everything 28/26/NE2/SN-
  24. gravitylover
    Not looking so good now. Snow is ending and it looks like the stream of precip is lifting north. Bummer.
  25. gravitylover
    Bummer, snow is ending It looks like the southern edge is lifting northward. Is that it for today?
