    ^^Rechargeable? Looks like it does ok with a couple of inches of fluff. First round of shoveling done. There's no good way to measure this stuff but I'd be ok with calling it 5-6" so far but it seems like its been inch am hour stuff for a while. It looks much deeper in the bushes where everything is settling because of the wind.

    What rescue is that? My wife and kids are pushing for a husky puppy. After the snow lightened for about 30 minutes it's back to heavy with large flakes. The wind is a real thing too.

    ^^ Heheh my dog won't go out, she went to the door all happy and excited and the snow blew in and she turned around and walked away all sad... Got a couple of inches so far of light and fluffy goodness.

    Flurries for a while now. Time to roll.

    Yeah it looks like it's banking up on the Taconics too, between the valley loss and that I've been skunked a bunch of times. Where it comes back is the extended finish on the northeasterly flow. Flurries started a little while ago. I'll be thrilled with a foot but this 20" thought isn't all bad.

    I hope you're right, I need to be out and about getting stuff done between Danbury and home until about 7pm. http://www.meteo.psu.edu/fxg1/WXTYPE/loop25ne.html https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/?parms=OKX-N0Q-0-24-100-usa-rad

    That head shape and brindle coat make it look almost exactly like out Catahoola. They're a breed native to Georgia and the neighboring states. Ours doesn't have quite as much white on her face. Downslope from the west during the buildup and heart of the storm then sheltered from the east by the Berks as the storm winds up and pulls out. Yup you're hosed buddy I'm gonna get blasted from both sides, it's gonna snow till Wednesday here. Bring beer Boy that storm was a disaster. Power was out for a week and it was freaking cold

    Oh sorry, I meant diverting. I was thinking of the overflow dam when I typed that

    Overflow res in Brewster was full of ice fishermen today. Looks like 8-12 here huh?

    I know a couple of people planning their retirement with this GME thing. One guy bought 10k shares at ~$3.50.share and the others are all over 1k shares. When it goes over $750 they ought to be pretty happy. What about some of the long time store managers that have been taking stock options every year and have a few thousand shares built up? Lucky...

    Nah

    It's been flurrying for about 90 minutes now, woke up with a dusting from the showers last night. Right now it's crystals floating in the wind with the sun out and its 15*. Cool stuff.

    I'm on the thank you Walt train too. Was it supposed to be snowing sorta hard this morning? edit: Oh look, lake streamers. Yay. On the radar this sort of hit the Taconics and stretched out southward. Looks pretty cool.

    Lower but sort of tucked in against the north side of a range of hills so snow retention is pretty good. Not enough that they'd get double in this setup though. No big deal really, I mean in the books it's only an inch difference and I usually get more anyway because I'm higher in the hills.

    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.
  17. gravitylover
    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.
  23. gravitylover
    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.
  24. gravitylover
    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...
