    I can say that it snowed 5 days in a row It didn't amount to squat but it snowed for a little while each day, the total was an almost measurable coating one morning.

    I'm halfway between the 1" and 3" reports and got somewhere under 1.5. I'm having the hardest time with that 3" number in Danbury with everything else in the area under 2.

    Ended with a bit over an inch. It snowed for hours overnight, nice small flakes and crystals so it filled in nicely. While there's still some grass and stuff showing through it looks a lot more wintry than it did after the first two rounds during the day yesterday. It's that nice to look at stuff too because it was warm during the day so it stuck to trees and leaves making everything appear whiter than 1" would otherwise lead to.

    I passed an inch a while ago and it just keeps snowing lightly. Radar has been mostly dry for a while so this must be low level stuff. 26/25/ENE3/SN-

    Some of the best snow I've ever skied was in the Sierra and some of the worst I've ever seen was in Colorado. Waist deep steeps at Kirkwood at 14° is awesome and at least as good as anything Grand Targhee or Alta has to offer and 3600 vertical feet of boilerplate sux big donkey balls whether it's at Killington or Steamboat. The wet snow thing is mostly a myth, at least while it's snowing - 6 hours later if the sun comes out all bets are off below about 9k. It's been snowing again since about 4 and I'm getting near an inch now for the day.

    I miss those storms. The thing is towns keep going, things don't stop. Travel outside towns goes down especially if the roads close but S Lake Tahoe just keeps plugging away. There were days we got 3 feet or more but I could still get in the Jeep and go to work. I never had chains just decent tires, snow would be over the bumper on the main roads through town and we just did what we had to do. Getting to the hotel I worked at 300 feet up the hill was interesting sometimes but nothing a 50mph running start didn't solve (red lights be damned).

    Roads are covered. Well, my quiet dead end is, I haven't been out yet.

    There were a few good bursts but only for a minute or three at a time. There's a nice .25" coating and it's snowing lightly. It looks like winter. Sort of.

    I'll be happy with the 2" I've been thinking for a few days now. If by some strange chance it's more I'm ok with that sorta. It will be nice to have a couple of winter type days though.

    Ya mean I might actually get enough to cover the grass? I dunno man...

    It hasn't been colder but it's cold enough that you don't want to do stuff unless you're in the woods and out of the wind. I have a pile of parts to go on the new to me Range Rover and I keep putting it off because working on cars when it's cold sux. I'm hoping to see the days get back to the 50's soon unless we get snow then I'll go pay for shop time unless someone has a garage I can borrow for an afternoon.

    HUGE week for January, just huge I tell ya. A whole big .1"!!!

    So holding out for more than a dusting with the early week system is where it's at? That one is going to dry out before it gets here, it's already a bust. On to February! Tally ho and all o' that

    Running out of time to hit 6 days in a row. Yesterday was questionable here, it flaked all around the area and I thought I saw some fairy dust blowing in the wind so I called it the 5th day in a row but nothing today so far. It does look nice and convective to the WNW so maybe but it also looks like it's drying up coming down off the Catskills.
  15. gravitylover
    Yeah but it's in N Carolina I think I saw a few flurries when that blob passed through earlier that gave many in the area a bit of snow today. It might have been dust blowing in the breeze but since I need it to continue a streak that's now at 5 days straight I'm going to say it snowed today.

    Better than this useless not quite cold and not warm enough to do outside stuff that we've been having for the last month. I have a whole bunch of car work to do so why don't you see if you can order up some of those 60's for me.

    Had a couple of rounds of snow and graupel showers since this morning. That .2 measurement at KDXR is pretty aggressive but I guess they could have had .175 more than me...
  18. gravitylover
    I was going to come in and say that but I had to wipe the mud off my shoe first.
  19. gravitylover
    I had a thicker dusting this morning than yesterday but not measurable. It looked nice for a little while but now it's melting off on all but the darkest shaded areas.
  20. gravitylover
    And now I've had snow 3 days in a row. It just doesn't feel like winter though.
  21. gravitylover
    Looks like I missed out on the first round of snow showers this afternoon, maybe one of the popcorn kernels will roll over me.
  22. gravitylover
    Looks like some snow blossoming on radar to my WNW. The way the clouds settled in over the last 30 minutes sure makes it feel like it's about to snow. 37/27/ VRBL SW-W 3-7
  23. gravitylover
    ^^ Here too. That makes 3 days in a row with noticeable snowfall
  24. gravitylover
    There was some random flakeage for a little while this afternoon, both ahead of and during the squall line passage. Yesterday a few times when the clouds thickened and the wind came up there were flakes too. At least it looked wintry for a second or three two days in a row.
  25. gravitylover
    Yay No snow left at all other than a few tiny piles, plenty of mud though I only got a half inch. No, that's not what she said.
