  1. Someone in OC may need to add snowshoes next to the flipflops in their beachwear store.
  2. Sandra Bullock couldn't afford a Patagonia?
  3. I have an unboxed electric cordless snowblower I'm waiting to try out. Hopefully this new threat at the end of the month will give me that chance.
  4. What's cold without snow? To sit and watch it snow in front of a fireplace with hot chocolate and going out to do a jebwalk or sledding, skiing, etc. Then coming back in and warming up by the fire again. Can't beat it. Cold and dry or cold and wet is a rather boring way to experience winter. Last weekend was my first chase ever. And my wife who loves the Sun and warm weather was gracious enough to entertain my snow pursuits. lol
  5. Snow chasin for us is a good way to rack up hotel points. . I'd chase this one but I'm on call.
  6. You're not lyin. I was surprised to wake up to 40 degree temp and moderate to heavy rain. Thought we would have flipped before 7am.
  7. Was able to make it to Harrisonburg, VA yesterday to stay overnight. Yesterday at around 3pm it was 14 degrees and the snow was almost whiteout conditions at times. We made it to Harrisonburg, VA at about 4pm. Lots of cars on the side of the road. We stopped off to get some groceries for the hotel. There was a good 3-4 inches on the roads in town. I forgot to bring my ruler to measure the snow at the end. But I'd say anywhere from 6 to 8 inches. I was hoping for a foot. But we started getting pingers at the end. The pic is from the jeep on I-81 at 3:30pm about 13 miles north of Harrisonburg, VA.
  8. Nah. Marriott. I just want to watch the snow and go out and have dinner or something. Real quick. Not trying to make it a vacation. It's only an hour and a half away.
  9. Booked a room in Harrisonburg, VA. Should be mildly more exciting than Adelphi, MD. lol If it busts out there, Harrisonburg is sooooo romantic.
  10. Gonna drink some peanut butter whisky to soothe my snow starved soul. I am thinking about going to Harrisonburg, VA for the storm.
  11. I'll take another 6" in mid-January. Certainly is better than the last few years!
  12. 16.8 for the low for my back yard.
  13. I'll be in Stowe this weekend to redeem the 60 degree Christmas torch I experienced in VT in 2020. I figure Stowe is a little higher and should see some snow this weekend. But I got a nice surprise at home before I go. So sweet.
  14. Man that back edge on radar looks like a huge snowplow pushing the snow east. That edge is super straight.
  15. Temperature 49.5°F Dew Point 39.4° From Yesterday -13.3°F
  16. I just ordered an electric cordless snowblower. It will get here Tuesday. Watch it won't snow the rest of the winter so I won't get to use it. lol
  17. If this keeps up, Mt. Washington will be battling rain/snow lines during winter. lol
  18. Came up to the Khalahari Resort hoping for a white Christmas and some family fun. Got a nice surprise. Woke up to a snow-covered ground! This is a lot better than last year's torch rain in Vermont for Christmas.
  19. Consolation Prize: Family trip to the Pocono Mountains. We have a white Christmas Eve! About an inch or two on the ground. However, Christmas Day the forecast calls for 47 and rain. At 1900 ft. Can't win. Last year we went to Vermont hoping for a white Christmas. It was 60s and rain. I guess I'll take 40s and slush. Next year, we'll be in Florida for Christmas. We alternate hot/cold/
  20. Thought maybe someone here was as interested as me. Apparently not. lol
  21. No talk about the tornadoes in the Tennessee Valley threads?
