The New York Times is reporting that the Swiss have frozen Russian assets. I haven't found another source for that story, though Reuters reported that as probable earlier . Pretty telling as the Swiss are very protective of their neutrality.

BTV has a map out for tomorrow

Man, you would have loved my drive home today. Squalls and whiteout condition. Right up you winded alley.

Because we never end up actually getting severe thunderstorms? (Sorry Wiz )

Really? Seems like it lasted my entire drive home from Woodsville.

Yeah, we were in Littleton and it was snowing moderately when we left. By the time we got to Woodsville, it had pretty much stopped. I figured it had fizzled or had been overhyped. We stopped at Walmart for a few things and when we came out, it was pretty much white out conditions and stayed that like that all the way home on 302. Took us almost and hour from Woodsville, usually a 30-35 minute drive. Maybe 2” of snow at home.

Nothing here. Partly cloudy

Hopefully this is a positive development. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-kyiv-business-europe-moscow-2e4e1cf784f22b6afbe5a2f936725550

What’s this picture? Must be in Moscow or St. Petersburg right? Is it blood from busting up protests?

That’s my plan for retirement.

There have been stories that Putin has spent the time since the Crimea annexation making Russia better prepared to withstand sanctions. Paying down foreign debt, integrating Russian exports into Western European economies etc. Also, and you may have been the one to mention this, the Chinese have a competitor to SWIFT they’ve been trying to boost called CIPS, if I’m remembering correctly.

These thermobaric weapons don’t look too surgical either. https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-deploys-feared-tos-1-heavy-flamethrower-near-ukraine-cnn-2022-2?amp

@Ginx snewxwatching the news report on this now. 30 cars involved, one death and 7 injured. Part of 89 northbound still closed. Nasty accident, had to be terrifying. Your wife was involved in a big one a few years ago wasn’t she?

I believe it was pretty close. BTV had also mentioned great lift in the 600-700 zone indicating some pretty good ratios and rates. They called and were consistent with there predictions despite wobbly model runs. If you look at the PNS I posted earlier, my county of Washington had some nice totals early. And it looks like we will do pretty well with finals too.

11.75”. 6.25” at my 1:30pm board clearing and 5.5” at my 7:30 clearing.

I measured 5.5” when I cleared my board at 7:30. My first clearance was 6.25” at 1:30. I measured 2” at 7:30 am but left that until the 1:30 clearing. This the closest I have ever come to doing an “official” type of measurement, with the clearing every 6 hours. So 11.75” so far. There is probably the .25” I need for a foot out there but I’ll wait til morning to figure that out. Overall, a nice event and an over performer for me.

Wow! I’ve never seen ice jams release.

I never used to have a board to measure on either until I got the weather station last year. I needed a place to mount it and when I decided to use shelf brackets, I grabbed a piece of white shelf too and figured it would work as a measuring board. I need to get a new board though because stupid me didn't think about the weather disintegrating the piece of MDF shelf. Anyway, I took that picture about 3 hours after I had cleared it.

Picture of my PWS. I cleared the board it's mounted on at 1:45

So far in VT. I'll note that the NWS Employee at 1 SW East Barre reported at roughly the same time I cleared my board and had the same as I did. I just went out and measured another 4.25" so I am at 10.5" so far. VERMONT ...Addison County...
