FYP

We can’t trust your obs without a screenshot of your weather station readings.

I’m lucky enough that the closest gas station to me carries ethanol free gas. I also try to only use that in my snowmobiles.

Because that is a funny visual. Walt Drag rising from the canvas like the Undertaker at Wrestlemania, with you in the corner of the ring staring on in disbelief, quaking in your tights

Sheetrock and insulation wet?

14.7°/1.5° here. Wind is about 3 mph. Feels pretty cold in what’s been a mild month.

The more snow part is likely more between us than at our actual locations. The hills around Washington and Orange do really well.

As the crow flies, I am 8.91 miles away from W. Topsham. Seems like we have pretty similar observations a lot, though in my mind I think of your area as snowier.

I remember you posting that and was roughly what had in mind thinking about Champlain lake effect. 18.6°/10.5° with .75" - 1" of new snow this morning. I had to go into the office and had almost forgotten that an inch of snow could make the roads somewhat crappy. Likely had to do with the temp crash below freezing overnight.

Somewhat marginal here too. It all depends on how blocked the flow is.

I thought last year was poor for retention. It seems like we had the snow but we had some melts that kept us from a really good pack. My unscientific, superstitious self always thinks winters come in packs. I remember how 2007 turned heading towards VDay and then 08 was good too. This seems like we are continuing on from last winter’s crap.

I just find my grill uses too much gas when it's cold. I have a decent Weber only a couple of years old too.

Anyone who rides needs frigid. Water crossing and ground need to freeze solid.

Short lived here. Maybe a tenth but it was accompanied by some gusty winds.

About 3” overnight and still snowing lightly. I guess we were on the southern edge of that axis PF pointed out. Back to a wintry look for a few days at least.

I can only speak for myself but “losing it” should be taken in context. The context being a board dedicated to the enjoyment of weather. If and when I lose it, it will be in the context of these discussions not the rest of my life. It’s like talking about your football team going into battle or saying your favorite player is a warrior. It’s not literal. Like I said, maybe it’s just me but I don’t look at a bad run of the 18Z suite and then go kick my dog and yell at my wife and kid.

You try way too hard.

Doesn’t that completely depend on where you live

Will just threw his Commodore 64 out the window.

Decided to set up the PWS off the corner of my deck using some brackets and a shelf. Bonus there is it’s a smooth, white board so it can double as a measuring board. It’s about 10’ above ground and about 10’ away from the house. Not optimal so I’ll likely mount it to a pole in the yard this summer. I think this location likely messes with wind direction and speed. Now I have to figure out how to hook it up to the WiFi and join Wunderground.

Fiayuuuuhuh! Streams they are a risin!

My wife got me a weather station for Christmas. Nothing fancy like a Davis just an Ambient WS-7078 but it will be more than good enough for my already decidedly unscientific observations. Amazingly, this is my first weather station. I’ve always been too cheap to buy one. I’m going to set it up today. I think I’m going to do it, at least temporarily, on my deck rail. It’s not the best place as it will be less than 10’ from the house and will be 12’-15’ above ground. I have a spot in the back yard that will be better but I want to clear some brush and a couple of small trees before I put it there. It will be interesting to see the comparison with KMPV which is on the opposite hill about 5 miles away.
