    With such fascinating weather recently things like sunrise, sunset and how thick the frost is in the morning have been of prime importance. This morning is the thickest frost yet, so much so that it really looked like it snowed a bit overnight.

    Even the ski zones are mostly dry save for a handful of areas. Stowe/Smuggs/Jay in VT and Snow Ridge/McCauley/Titus in the NY North Country. Ugly...

    "should have" "could have" etc. Not should of and could of. Sorry but that's been all over the interwebs for the last few years and it bugs me. Cold(ish) and cloudy makes it feel and look like it wants to snow but when you know that's not the case the cold is just annoying. I understand snowbirds more and more as I get older.

    Hey my kids want to go for a walk on the beach today, any place that might be better wind sheltered than another? North shore - south shore, east or west doesn't matter but when I looked quickly it seems that there's a good stiff northerly "breeze" today.

    Ya know if it's going to be dry and nice like this it should at least be a bit warmer.

    Yeah but that didn't get me close to avg for the year. I'm concerned that if we don't bank some precip over the next two months we'll see wells running dry early this year. We need 3-4 feet of snow to do a slow soak into the ground to help alleviate the problem. That said, I don't think we're going to see that happen.

    Ha! Well done. I dont know that I've ever seen anyone use that song in conversation before.

    Funny because one of my prime missions is going to be a southerly aspect, easier on heating and snow removal but with tall deciduous growth so it's shaded in the summer. I don't need snow right outside my door but I need to be part of the storms and to see it and play in it when it's over. I had a condo in Steamboat the first year I lived there and the deck faced SSE so we could sit out there and have coffee in the morning in January when it was 12* and be comfortable in t-shirts. I want that situation to be part of my retirement gig It'll also be better for gardening and creating my own food.

    It's so not wintry feeling this year. Even the big storm and good coverage for a while last month didn't really do it.

    I woke up a few times overnight to look at my "snow light" and... nuthin' Ehh, at least it looks like it's going to be pretty nice for the next few days.

    It was about 2" then compacted a bit but I got some more after that and the temp went down. I'll measure again in a while but it looks to be a solid 2". I figured 2-3 so pretty much right on, that'll do. I think my neighbors down the street must read here because they moved the thermo for their station and it's right in line with the others in the area now and what I've always expected from this hill.

    It has been snowing lightly for a while, radar looks like there may be one more burst here before it moves out. Nickel and dime... I'll take it. So since it hasn't stopped snowing yet but it's compacted down to 1.5" already I can't claim 2" even though it was that much a little while ago? Sorry I'm going for max numbers I hate warm snow storms but it's better than cold rain.
  13. gravitylover
    Yeah I expected 2-3" here and that's what I'll end up with so not bad, just disappointing because it's so warm.
  14. gravitylover
    2" of wet snow. It should be more but it's warm and wet so not really accumulating even though it's been snowing hard enough for enough hours that it should be more like 4".
  15. gravitylover
    Large flakes now, visibility dropping and down to about 1/4 mile.

    low cal, low sodium = perfect

    It's over. I got dusted.
  20. gravitylover
    Well that was fun I barely got a dusting but at least it looks (almost) like winter. No sleet just flakes. Maybe I'll get enough later to call it a coating... I think I may be too far east for this one.

    Happy Birthday
  22. gravitylover
    The first few random flakes are falling now.
  23. gravitylover
    Tivoli is on the river, Millerton is on the eastern border so about 25-30 miles E.
  24. gravitylover
    Wet wet wet. I had some sleet but it barely accumulated other than on the remnant crusty piles leftover from the storm a few weeks ago before changing to rain. Now it's just dense fog. Next...
  25. gravitylover
    That's been my thing too, nothing is frozen. Some days there's a thin coat of ice on the ponds but nothing that matters. The ground started to freeze, enough that the windstorm last week was a non issue but it's thawed now. It isn't really winter yet (again?).
