The deck is white….it’s not a thick layer…..let’s see how we do in the wake up hour….me thinks I need the bottle on the nightstand…..christs sakes

I shit 4” of snow in the morning…..

But the convection……

Pretty sure they said it’s bad…..we wanted to see that wash out but sadly no…..what a ratter

Nice shit streak over the fish…..

Take ‘em up

lol what a suck hole........toss

we're almost at nowcast range......are models still all over the place like with this storm?

I was saying be prepared that this is the biggest storm we see this season.......not that this is all we'll get.......come on man

Is it weird how everyone just checked out tonight lol…..as a veteran here I get it…..the “this is it for the season” idea looms very big……that’s gonna suck lol

Lol when this is “the storm” of the season…..locked…..it sucks in here

That’s actually one of my favorites……it works well in a lot of cases

We’ve got busses that still haven’t made it to school yet here…..lol….everyone all up in arms about how they didn’t delay opening - not sure but I think it just hit right before school opening……tough call

Oh please god make that happen

For the goods that’s exactly what I’m saying…..everyone knows and tells everyone else not to expect the goods until late December and while some try very hard to say late February into March is also winter nobody really believes that…..this is why I am baffled when the same folks argue it’s not…..but then somehow this season it’s fine to complain how bad it is…..I’ve complained in late December before and everyone was like “rookie”…..lol

Teach me how to be ok with winter getting it’s act together late January when there’s only like three weeks left to actual winter…..idk what people smoke in here

Haha this isn’t serious right?

Was that at the Oakland Coliseum? lol back then when just wandering around you could just stumble upon something like that - that would never happen now......I used to deliver pizza to his house on the regular back in the mid 90's......a couple of times I got invited inside - the football shit in there was epic.....he was huge and a larger than life dude in a whole number of ways....BOOM!!! RIP

IDK - that doesn’t matter….you’re hung up on average or normal or whatever it is people here smoke……the point is that it can snow and be all wintery in west Hartford in December - we know this and we’ve seen it…..plenty of times I’ve had a good starter pack on my Xmas lights on the azaleas to get the month solidly in the win column…..sure maybe it’s “normal” to have more “winter” I. Jan and Feb here but I don’t care…..I expect greatness every year…..this December is not great - it’s not even good…..it’s garbage and you all know it and it sucks

Man this rubs me wrong - all kinds of wrong - it was Corona Light and limes in West Hartford after that storm......

The definition of a good winter does not include losing December.......theres three periods in winter and you can't go down 2-0 in the first period and expect to blow out the other team especially when the wait for the next game is 9 months - God it sucks to lose December - can't do that

It also makes you wonder what could have been and thats the grail we all want.......if only December had come in good - if only......like Jan 2011 was amazing but it was preceded by Boxing Day 2010 - ALL TIME SHIT STORM IN THE HISTORY OF SHIT STORMS - and then followed by the great February melt.....my 30" pack went to zilch in a day or whatever - you know what I mean..... The mood of winter matters.......and when you lose December the mood sucks.....

Totally - winter needs to behave itself and not be a ****ing toddler about it........you can't lose December like this and feel good about the rest of the season even if it turns out "average".....so many people on here are cool with an "average" winter.....its fuking weird....

We moved in august 2004 to CT so I do t think I remember that as vividly…..plenty of folks on here will remember what hakkened in RI any year…..they have like a photographic memory….it’s weird

I’m a Bay Area native with strong ties to Lake Tahoe and surroundings from my love for skiing and later snowboarding……the Lake Tahoe area is pretty epic for riding and I have lots of crazy memories of driving up there in bad weather…..most memorable was the 540 I did on I-80 descending into Truckee in a blizzard after passing over the summit…..almost got clipped by a van….then the 1997 New Year’s Day flood was pretty epic…..we had planned a snowboarding trip leaving from Davis CA early Jan 1 but that quickly turned into “get yourself out of the mountains and into Reno as fast as possible” the flood was ridiculous……89 was covered to squaw valley…..80 closed later due to mudslides…..the airport in Reno was under feet of water….and the train station too…..we were stranded in Reno for 2 days….I’ll never forget staying at the circus circus and watching whole families evacuated to downtown hotels cuz the Truckee river was just raging…..man
