Lol, is he calling for snow?

Lost our main snow pile, but still have some of the backup pile left - yay!

Give him a couple more beers...probably?

Still a couple more mounds up here...damn, just want to make it to midnight!

Got 2.61" here storm total, a few small branches down, my neighbor says there were a few trees down in the area. Temp. down to 37F here.

Breezy/37F....still have have snow mounds.

My neighbor (booze) is lit up like a firecracker....funny shit.

Good Lord,  Damn  rain.

Still some snow mounds but damn...may make a a path for the RedSky/Glenn......but damn!

Just asked the guy coming out of the beer store will I have snow on the ground past midnight....he said yeah, so I feel pretty good.

Man, I may have to buy time for snow cover to make it to Christmas for a White Xmas in North Wales....not much out there.  (Train Station)

I had 2 stink bugs and a lonely lady bug...

58F

Will be taking a Jeb walk at 12:01am Christmas Eve and most certainly will be seeing snow piles/Xmas lights.....cool in my my book. 

RedSky needs Benzos....not a lot but some.

Ji's brother/relative?

Cloudy viewing again tonight, add tomorrow for sure and that makes for 7 straight and I couldn't have done worse.

 

Ask the nurse/assistant, maybe Glenn can roll your bed over to a better window? Pretty cool here...

Any shot I could get Kielbasa for Christmas? I'm Polish and your weenies suck. They're not even beef but pork/chicken slop...you really need to step up your game.

Blocking developments look excellent. I really like the looks of the ens around Jan 4-7...-NAO relaxes, PNA ridge pumps a little, big energy rolling under the area. Maybe. Anything before then probably a bonus. 

I just really hope the models long term don't screw with us.

"Yeah...yeah...looks great 10 days out....then fizzles."

Then we're in March/April with Summer outlook threads....

Last Wednesday was better.

Still have snow piles and such (a week),pretty good lasting and not even Christmas yet. The sleet layer definitely helped...

45F/sunny

I'm rooting for a T-storm tomorrow night at this point. Throw in a flying cow or two would be a bonus...

45F

Yep cloudy here AGAIN and it's not suppose to be

Cloudy (why would you want sun?) + snowpack/w/sleet on top + not blow torch temps.= frozen piles last longer which is cool. 

29F...@ 6am, still some good snow mounds in parking lots and side streets up here.....tomorrow will be a buzzkill though.

Pretty pissed at Mr Winter for showing up yesterday at 5:02am and now I just came back from Wawa at 5am w/a coffee and it's raining and 36F. What a prick....

Yup. And if you wanted to catch the first flurry or flurries of a storm, you made sure that something was (just) blocking the actual light. If not, the light was too bright to see those first flakes falling.

Yep.

I had a morning (pre 5am) paper route between the age of 11-14. So when a storm started around that time it was a real treat. I would be riding my Huffy under street lights and when I noticed the first flakes begin to trickle down, I flipped out with excitement! Then the intensity increased...

35F/light rain

I use a floodlight that is installed just beneath the peak of our roof.  House faces due North/South, along with slope of roof, so my east facing bedroom window is underneath the light.  Also I have a nice outdoor light at ground level beside a sliding glass door that works well.  As long as the light is bright and close by, but not within direct view, you're good.  

Totally agree.

It's all about placement.

In my younger years, I had street lights which were just about perfect which was excellent as well.

36F...blob of stuff developing/approaching from the W.

Unlucky 13 years now without a good snow light.

 

Thrift shop + big ass white Xmas flood lamp from the 70s ($5) + hardware (nails/screws) ($1) + effort (a beer or 2).....= snow light.

Glenn would be proud....

My head will be in a jar like futurama by then will need somebody to walk me outside.

 

I thought you were already in a retirement community with Glenn? 

I would highly advise to pay extra for a bed by a window with a super highly illuminated snow light? It's well worth it in my opinion...

Elliot Abrams was the go too!

used to listed to him and my noaa weather box for updates in the mid to late 80’s

for you younger peeps..there was a time where noaa had broadcasting on a radio updated each hour!

He was cream of the crop as far as KYW Mets (although the others were solid as well)....always pissed when I missed his updates~!

I date back from mid-upper 70s weather times...

I've spent hours watching Weather Channel videos on You Tube from the Superstorm, Blizzard of '96 (some can be found with Hurricane and that John Bolaris guy) and of course, many from 2009, 2010, and 2016. Good stuff when I need a snow fix. 

Same here...The Weather Channel use to be pretty damn good back in the day. (like MTV)....pretty much gone to shit now.

My weenie self was listening to an old KYW snow closings clip last week (before the storm) to bring back my youth of having a snow day...

That's like watching snow on traffic cam 

Actually I resent that! 

I occasionally watch snow on webcams from distant places when times are tough around here. And don't get me started about viewing a 1.5hr youtube video clip of a blizzard....they're great!

37F

That's like watching snow on traffic cam 

Better than being outside with clouds/rain and seeing nothing...

^Looks fine but Euro has no parts of it so that's a little concerning...if Euro jumps, hell yeah!

Dirty sky with slight blue and filtered sun, viewing conditions for the conjunction are hanging on by a thread. 

Live stream since our area sucks for these sorts of things...
