There are some similarities. I’ve had snow in my back yard starting around Veteran’s Day both years. Both years it got reduced to the point where a more diligent observer would question whether it should still be considered “coverage”. The difference is that this year it hasn’t been replenished as quickly. This is all anecdotal since I’m the slacker weather guy, especially compared to my NNE neighbors PF and JSpin. They could expound further but it’s not all that dissimilar yet, though not exactly the same either.

That’s even more futile for you though.

Same here. I actually wondered if was heavy time on the cars

Lol, You’ve got a lot of work to do to become a true NNE’r. Squeaky snow is one of the small things that make it winter.

-4° on the car thermo this morning

Got the squall warning too. Drive through some heavy snow around exit 6. Visibility down to 1/2-3/4 mile for a time and the roads started to get pretty covered. No wind to speak of though. Didn’t seem like a true squall though. About an inch or so of accumulation at home.

Don’t be so sad. You were begging for rain and 40’s all summer!

Royal Melbourne is an Alistair McKenzie course and is truly one of the gems of the golf world. It seems to be playing brutally hard and fast this week. I wish o had a simulator close by to play in over the winter. The closest one to me is up in BTV and it’s pretty busy most of the time. I have a mental block with those things anyway. I play crappily enough as it is and the mats and screen just seem to enhance my crappiness.

Looks like I spoke a bit soon. The US made a little bit of a comeback towards the end and are 6.5-3.5, which is the same 3 points they were down at the end of day 1. However at one point in the back 9 it looked like they could have lost all 5 points today. The most interesting President’s Cup in years.

Resurrecting this thread for the President’s Cup. Currently the US is getting whacked around by the Internationals. Not sure what to make of it. I don’t think Tiger made bad captain’s picks and he’s played well. They’re just getting it taken to them. I love the course though. I’ve watched the Australian Open a couple of times and love Royal Melbourne as a course. Playing those Sandbelt courses someday is definitely a bucket list item for me.

Since you have already killed winter with your sled purchase, then obviously I should just go ahead and get a new one too. Might as well get it during an already killed winter rather than risk killing it myself next season! My wife will be thrilled when I tell I have to get a new one this year.

Boy, you have just been a ray of sunshine lately!

Nothing at all down here. I was expecting a little rain/mix.

That snow machine even got over this way. It snowed for most of the morning and stayed cloudy just about all day. Not as much as you guys got but wintry appeal ruled the day.

Had a very New Englandy evening. Went and bought my wife some new boots for Christmas and then went to the quintessential New England town of Hanover, NH for a Cornell/Dartmouth hockey game. Walking through the town to the rink with fresh snow and cold temps felt old timey New England holiday to me. Oh and for Will and OceanSt. who I believe are both Cornell alums, Dartmouth took down the #2 in the nation Cornell Big Red 2-1.

Flow must be unblocked. Snowing here too. I don’t think it was forecast.

2” here.

Nice. Is the same one that you had done on your own before? Looks like a nice upgrade. Maybe some of those plastic privacy slats or some artificial hedge braid like this https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-2541094/national-tree-company-instablock-artificial-hedge-fence-braid.jsp?skuid=27725474&ci_mcc=ci&utm_campaign=DECOR&utm_medium=CSE&utm_source=google&utm_product=27725474&CID=shopping15&utm_campaignid=174293612&pid=googleadwords_int&af_channel=CSE&gclid=CjwKCAiA8qLvBRAbEiwAE_ZzPRlGr1bfrV9bg2PRkfNbcgreT3LmCByPZ3SRJBodv9fp8lI_KgVmDhoC_4AQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Looks like the blocked flow let up a bit. Noticeable snow has started here in downtown MPV in the last few minutes. Small flakes and the roads are getting covered.

Think they get 31" this time?

That radar makes the spine look like an absolute wall lol. Of course for the most part its is this morning. A very light dusting on the car this morning and just a stray flurry here and there on the way in to work.

Hope everything is ok Gene. At least you are at a top notch facility.

I was pretty surprised. Went to bed to a few flurries, woke up around 3:30 and it looked like the car had been coated but nothing surprising and then woke up to plows going by. Stepped out on the deck that had been cleanly shoveled and poked the tape measure into 4". My colleague who lives in Elmore said Rt. 12 through Worcester Woods was clear until just outside Montpelier. Pretty localized I guess.

Had 4" on the deck this morning. There was less here at work in Montpelier and a colleague coming in from the Morrisville area said there was reall nothing until she got to just outside Montpelier. I was sort of surprised. It wasn't snowing when I went to bed at 11:00, the forecast didn't call for anything and everything indicated that the storm was starting to crank further east. A little bit of a positive bust for my back yard.

3.5” as of 7:00 am.
