  1. Well dang. Stayed up late due to current events, and just now noticed this: Going to be busy tomorrow (today! sad lol). Better get to bed and then figure out what we need to do to prepare. Already have extra gas and propane for the genny, and I'll definitely be test-firing it up tomorrow. Thankfully we have a fully stocked pantry so I won't need to visit the grocery store at least. Might have to make a beer run though.
  2. Yeesh. Do not want .5 to 1" of frozen rain. Hopefully it's mostly sleet. That said, I've scheduled a couple of different tree services to come out and give us some quotes for take downs, it'd be ironic if this problem solves itself. ish.
  3. Sun poking through up here. Already up to 62°F. Wife's gonna want me to mow the lawn, I can just feel it.
  4. So do you guys want me to finally fire up my antiquated snow blower or not? Getting mixed messages over here. Mind you, I haven't run it in over a year, now.
  5. Quite the bold claim, this: (lol) You are currently offline, or your network connection is having trouble, and we are unable to show you the page you requested.
  6. Ice fishing, or just regular? Where at? Sorry I'm so full of questions, I've always wanted to go ice fishing for perch but it's yet another hobby I have yet to invest into. I did see some people ice fishing several weeks ago during our super cold snap, so I know it is feasible in our area at least.
  7. I think I just hit my file size limit. Didn't one of you guys run into this problem a short while ago? What's the fix? Flizzard just about over here. That was pretty cool and unexpected!
  8. Temps crashed almost 10° from 41.1 to 32.1 in a matter of minutes. Lawn is covered. Cancelled our class since I don't even want to know what happened to traffic between here and there.
  9. Huge flizzard right now. Were just about to leave for our weekly dog training class but I think we'll wait.
  10. Eh, seemed kinda underwhelming. Picked up another tenth of an inch. Still, not cool to see a spring-type rain event in the middle of February. Will be glad to return to more seasonal temps (and hopefully precip!) in the days to come.
  11. Looks like the front is just about to pass by me. Might as well stay up for it.
  12. Oh wow. It's actually roaring out there! Wondering if the neighbor's trampoline will still be there in the morning.
  13. 1 AM and back above 60°F. Super gusty. Pressure still dropping so the front is still well west of me.
  14. We got down to about 55 but are now almost at 60°F again, with .4" in the gauge and winds gusting in the 20 MPH range. Crazy weather for the middle of February at 11pm. Going full weenie on @RedSky's uncharacteristically optimistic digital snow post.
  15. Temps peaked at 63°F about an hour ago. Now down to 60, and the sky is definitely getting darker.
  16. Wow! Happened right around 10:20 am. I don't usually see anything much above 20 due to where the anemometer is installed.
  17. I hope you're wrong, but yeah, that and I need to get ahead of my gnat problem this year. Even after a year of professional treatment, it's still a bad time in my back yard when the temps hit 60 or above, and god forbid someone opens a door or a window without a screen at night in the summer with the lights on inside. (My house has odd-sized windows, so I've been slowly making custom screens for them, but even they aren't an exact fit and the little buggers still get in). I hate the idea of spreading chemicals all over my property but the free-range natural organic artisanal non-GMO treatments did exactly nothing. Back OT, we got down to 8°F last night. The snow on my front yard is slowly sublimating away, and it's so dang dry inside and out. Enjoying the cold while it lasts--nothing really wintery in the long range, boooo.
  18. Properly cold. Not especially looking forward to the warmup in a few days, so enjoying this while it lasts.
  19. Went for a little drive after my tax appointment this afternoon. So pretty. Looks like it might stick around for a little while, too, as temps aren't supposed to get much above freezing until Tuesday. The best part is there's no giant iceberg in front of my house this time since there wasn't much to plow.
  20. Well dang, my yard and my neighbors' car tops have now caved at least. 32.1°F. Was not expecting this!
  21. Temps appear to be crashing. Now at 33.4°F, big flakes coming down but so far only sticking to my mulched areas.
  22. Can confirm. Looks really pretty outside. Not sticking to most surfaces though the temps are starting to come down a bit. Currently 35.5°F / DP 28.5°F.
