  1. 6" so far for the season. .75" yesterday...Time to break out the snow shoes.
  2. Yeah. Not much depth heree, but everything is white. Nice to see it.
  3. Except my lake. Nice and cold for a a few days, but the constant wind, and waves in the water have prevented any widespread freezing. Only in the shallow, and sheltered cove areas. ...But this is the same routine most years. The perpetual, never ending, bone chilling breeze that exists here prevents the freezing most of the time. There really needs to be a few periods of still water combined with the freeze for it to happen
  4. Drone freak-outs don't give humanity much hope in accepting the flying car that most of us have grown up seeing as the future on the cover of Popular Mechanics magazine in the 1980's/ 90's, and even back into the 50's. Imagine a world like depicted in movies, Back To The Future 2, or The 5th Element? People will lose their minds on a daily basis.
  5. Nothing but open lake in front of me to my north and west. Deck chairs through the window.
  6. When I look at that map that Luke posted, I see much orange and red, translating into 1-4 degrees above normal? ...But it's not like we're seeing the doomish high or even middle end of the scale. I'm sure that I'm over simplifying the imagery from 300+ hours out, but it doesn't seem panic worthy.
  7. Yes..."another". Tally it up with the barrage of snow we've had so far this season.
  8. Right. That tree had its chance to shine and be part of true damage in Tolland but it blew it's shot. Now it's just another limb that fell that no one heard.
  9. Woke up at 5:30 to 2"+, and still snowing pretty good. The ride to work was not great. 50 minute ride took about 90 minutes. Up and down routes 101 and 44 from Killingly...Pomfret...Eastford...Ashford...Mansfield...Coventry...Bolton...into Manchester the snow ranged from 2"-4"+. Here at work in Manchester seems to have the least, but it is snowing good. Big...Wet.Azz.Flakes. Temp on the Davis is showing 36F
  10. Currently, high 30s and Mid Atlantic type cold rain.
  11. The annual Jerry-Fest @weathafella on the Monday before Christmas at Clarke's (or alternative in that area due to the place closing at 8pm last year) works better for me due to my continued weekend situation with my mother, but if the date works for me on a Saturday in Worcester or where ever I will be there.
  12. Hopefully, There's snow on the ground for Snodeo weekend in Old Forge
  13. Snowblower still getting fixed and tuned up. Probably won't need it again this year, but, just in case I get a rogue high output snowstorm (High output for my area is 8"-10") it will be ready.
  14. Nah. I can't do much worse than the last 2 seasons. (15" total this past season, and maybe 12" total the season before). My jinx is not anyone else's.
  15. ...My snow thrower, White Out turns 26 years old this season, and is coming out of hibernation. She's seen some epic snow storms and great winters, but as of late some epic duds. She's is heading out for a tune up and some repairs. Hopefully winter feeds her well this year.
  16. 55 here at work. When I left this am (around 530) it was in the 40s.
  17. I spoke to my mom. She is high enough to not be affected, but I will be checking her basement.
  18. Very ominous here in Manchester, but mainly N/W of my work. A few lighting strikes in the distance.
  19. Not for another 5 or 6 years. That was the set list for Foxboro Stadium in 1992.
