KAOS

It appears as if we are experiencing yet another rare wind event.

Happy eclipse... don't burn your eyes

I know it may be hard to believe.... but it is windy.

The rain needs to stop. Enough already. But this is typical... rain when we don't need it. No worries this summer is sure to be a drought-fest (when we really will need the rain). I want to move so bad.

Everything. No.

Thunder in February... totally normal.

I hear thunder in Pasadena.

Grass has caved. sidewalks etc... soon.

Somehow this reminds me of the claw storm....

Kinda, sorta, maybe not? I just wanted to post a claw. I apologize in advance.

Why is there a pine tree growing out of DC?

I have blue snow.

It is rockin!!! Heaviest snow of the day.

Looks like band incoming (mby)

Flakes are getting chunky. I like chunky flakes from time to time.

Did you know JFK got shot?. 

I was shoveling snow... I missed it. Give me a break.

Probably missed that earlier. Surprised to see 4-6". TBH.

nice little band establishing itself along and SE of the fall line moving NE as well... looks like everyone might cash in for the next hr or so... 

Bring it home. I would say we had a little over 4 inches in Pasadena (21122). After compaction and sun angle...closer to 3 inches, more or less.

1996 was my first winter online when I found the first internet relay chat and the Blizzard of 96 was my first online storm. It was different back then. IRC was a scrolling live feed like a ticker tape. If you walked away for 30 min you had to scroll all the way back.

About 30 min before the first flake I remember someone posted “2.8 inches of QPF!!!!! I see it but I can’t believe it”. And then it happened. And I was hooked.

IRC... had a server back in the day.

Kinda miss the Eastern days,

I have heard of something called ne.weather way back before WWBB. I was not on that group or whatever it was.

I remember it clearly.
