  1. Light rain falling here and 47.5/43.9 currently. Wetness from the sky started shortly before dark.
  2. THIS ^^ this or snowshoeing thru deep stuff is what I like to do nowadays.
  3. As someone that HASN'T been on skis for 20 years I agree with you both. HATED the 'mushy' of late spring (or a rapid warm up in winter to cause those conditions) but also never liked ice. Therefore, I no long ski lol. Just too few 'good/great' days around here even back then. Likely my WORST day ever was at the Homestead in mid Jan with 31/32 and light freezing rain. Think everyone on the slopes would have been better off with a pair of ice skates on.
  4. It is called kite season for a reason... On a side note, least I saw flurries last night and this morning. lol
  5. Yep. I've given up skiing years ago. However, I still LOVE cold and snow. Snowshoeing, snowmobiling and just general outside hiking are things I like to do now. I managed to get my deeper snow 'fix' being in Park City couple weeks ago.
  6. Currently 36/32.2 out there. Hit 70 degrees on the money yesterday. I seem to remember a slightly different outcome from 31 years ago....
  7. As a participant in eastern TN for the 2017 event, this!
  8. Are you talking about sitting down, enjoying a gourmet meal.... at a place that's REAL special??
  9. A chilly start at 27.6 degrees here, least the wind is only blowing at 2 mph from WSW. Had a 37 mph gust around noon yesterday, then slowly they died back during afternoon to a more reasonable 10-25 range. I don't keep wind 'records', (I only report/record when winds go above 25 mph, I feel that is a threshold that most people start feeling uncomfortable with), but I have to question "the least windiest winter" thing.
  10. But we do it so EXTRA, EXTRA well.
  11. Winds still roaring here this morning. Just had a 35 mph gust about 5 minutes ago from NW. Highest wind recorded was 47 mph around 11 pm last night. Lots of 40+ mph gusts yesterday late afternoon thru midnight.
  12. On and off flurries here most of afternoon. Gusty and blustery are the words to describe today.
  13. Just glanced at gauge, looks like .37 or .38 from this far away since 7 am.
  14. Well, two really long rumbles of thunder in last couple minutes at 42 degrees....gotta love March.
  15. Yep, rain and 42.5 here, colder than 7am CoCoRaHS reporting time.
  16. Got home last night about 8 pm. Put 5500 miles on the car in 11 days (an oil change is planned for later today + a good scrubbing). Saw temps range from 70's to single digits, sun/wind/rain and snow. Overall a great trip, but boy do several states need to work on their roads!! (I'm looking at you IN and IL! Arizona gets a consolation prize for 3rd place.)
  17. So got to spend the last 36+ hours with my son AND enjoy a good bit of snowfall. Only 10 inches has fallen where he lives, but up on the mountain they reported 18-20 inches. LOTS of drifting with the 30-50 mph winds. He has a weather station on a 5 foot pole in the side yard that you could see the top 8-10 inches of the pole, now gone lol.
  18. Got into Park City around 7 pm. This hopefully helps cure my 'snow drought' from last couple of years.
  19. Neighbor has been keeping up with weather numbers while I am gone (and feeding kitty), texted this morning and updated today for end of month for CoCoRaHS, so here goes..... Averaged high temp for month was 52.9 degrees vs a normal of 46.0 degrees, a +6.9 degrees above average. The warmest day was the 27th with a 65.7 degree reading. Averaged low was 28.7 degrees vs a normal of 24.0 degrees, a +4.7 degrees above average. The coldest reading was 18.8 degrees on the 18th. Overall averaged temp was 40.8 degrees vs a normal of 35.0 degrees, a +5.8 degrees above average. Total precip for the month was 2.25 inches vs a normal of 2.67, a -0.42 below average. The wettest day was the 13th with 0.72 inches falling. There were 10 days with measurable, 4 days with a 'T' and 15 dry days. Total snowfall for the month was a terrible 'T' vs a normal of 5.9 inches, -5.9 inches below average with 4 days that occurring, 1st, 13th, 16th and 17th. Rest of month was snowless. This ties for 2nd least snowiest Feb with 1990/91/99 and 2017 and just behind 1988's completely snowless month. The highest wind recorded for month was 39 mph on the 14th. Two new records, both new 'warm minimum's, set on 11th and 12th. Overall, a very warm and semi-dry month, with hardly any snow. Still in CA (today is wife's last official 'working day', retirement together commences tomorrow), headed to Park City tomorrow (least I will get my snow fix in) to see son a couple of days, then driving back home starting Monday.
  20. Posting for March, just in case I can't 'computer' in a couple days lol IF I can, may update before cutoff. Thanks DCA: +0.8 NYC: +1.4 BOS: +1.7 ORD: +0.9 ATL: -0.4 IAH: -0.5 DEN: -0.3 PHX: -0.8 SEA: +1.6
  21. Some sprinkles and right at the freezing mark this morning.
  22. Wait, even that has gone up? Two weeks ago it was 45.
  23. Low was 22.3 here, currently 37.7/27.4 under sunny skies at 10:30 am. Last few days have been awesome for getting outside stuff done.
