Just a total mess.

County roads up here are packed with sand and salt. Long live the human over-correction tendency.

Some mood flakes here... if that mood is utter disgust at freezing our arses off for two weeks to earn a smattering of mood flakes.

Hopefully you're right. FDDs will definitely take a hit for the foreseeable future though.

Ice is >3" thick on the ponds and lakes here as of this evening, so walkable for my body weight, albeit with giving inflow and outflow areas a wide berth. A really nice surface too... shame about the looming cutter.

Nice, congrats. They have a great meteo program at WCSU. It gets overshadowed to an extent by the two PSU's and SUNY Albany, but they definitely hold their own down in Danbury.

Anyone who thinks big December snows are a given, even in an epic winter, should be weenie tagged

Heck, I could be crushed tonight if I tried hitting up some of my tinder matches.

Heh. Getting fringed by a few miles stings, especially in cases of last-minute shifts. We have none of that here... we're divorced spatially from the storm by 600 miles, and it was never on the table for our region. It's just so abstractified that there should be no emotion at all. Like watching a hurricane churn away at 130W in the middle of the Pacific. Why not just be happy for those guys? You know some 13 year old weenie in the CLT burbs is making memories to last a lifetime over the next 18 hours

It flipped off like a switch as soon as climo turned cold enough for snow. As we all predicted months ago.

I just noticed that my snow pile from this still exists in some desiccated, tormented form. With enough tarpaulins and dry ice, I can probably prolong its suffering until 1 am on the 25th and call it a white Christmas.

Most of us are still significantly above-normal on the coattails of 11/15, right? I'd assumed that system alone would keep us on track for normal snowfall right through the end of the year.

Haha. It's what I do best!

Days and days of Ted from Accounting cracking jokes around the water cooler about the weird yellow ball in the sky

AGW is fake because one mid-latitude city can cross an arbitrary threshold on one particular temperature scale. That's pretty inventive, you have to admit.
