Cold Miser

Not much to really say here. This winter was an abysmal wet mess, best to be forgotten. The grades (all items are equally weighted) Overall Seasonal Snowfall: F Well under average snow fell. This may have been my worst snowfall ever in any of the places I have lived (Albany, NY area, Lake George area, Bristol, R.I., Washington DC, Arlington, VA, Boston, Ma, Stoughton, MA, Brooklyn, CT) . I don't think I have ever had a winter season where the snow total was less than half of the average. Even the 2011/2012 had more snow. Snow vs. Rain: D+ Such an ongoing sh.itty set up for my area from January onward, and it seemed to just repeat itself all season. Cold rain was king. Staying power of the pack: F Pack? Local winter enjoyment: D- Limited hikes(w/ snow) hikes or snow, and zero snow shoeing hikes. Temperature: D Snow Storm Quality: C- Only one "memorable" event was the first event of the season, December 1-3. There were ZERO double digit events. Overall Grade: F The Vid took my mind off of the later part of the season, but even a late blooming April event couldn't save what was a complete and utter dead rat of a winter. On to the upcoming 2020/2021, Winter of Mask

Does anyone here belong to this forum? I just happened to see it when I was doing a search. Sounds hardcore with no room for lurkers. https://wxdisco.com/

Was that 14' in Maine the max snow from this system? Pretty impressive for going into mid-May.

Depressing

lol. True. What's a bit of damp grass to get in the way of mowing day? Gotta mow, when you gotta mow.

Frost in late August, early Sept. for you? Crap.

Old Forge NY. Couple of inches.

To be fair, I did see a few people post links on facebook from some main stream news site about a historic winter event in the north east. I did not click the link because I assumed it was garbage, so I am not sure how "widespread " it was noted. It might have even been an NBC link.

Sun poking out, but a few flakes flying as well. Strange scene.

Just looking to see if there is any interest in a zoom or other type of gtg some day/night. Weenies drinking brews, and showing off their custom made face masks all while safely tucked in the comfort of their own homes. It doesn't' have to be hard core where everyone is staring at a camera for multiple hours...Maybe just set like a time frame and people can come in and out as they please, with the camera in the background. Something like this might even work better on a weeknight. Just throwing this out there to see if it sticks. If it is a dumb idea then just let it drift to the back of the bus.

I am bad with dates but... March 93 Snow April 97 Snow Some insane heatwave in like July/August of 91. Irene 2 other snowstorms in the past 7 years, but I don't recall the dates without going into my archives which are at home. (I was in Rockland County NY during Sandy, which was a bigger event down there)

Picked up .5 earlier.

My 19.5 was right near that 21.1. I should have given you that number.

19.5 total for me (including the final burst last night) but I do think me and you shorted ourselves by an inch or 2. I measured 19" @ 5pm. My first and only measurement of the day. No board clearing.

lol. He actually said that in a live statement, pointing you out?

13.5" Brooklyn. Not my measurement but measurement from my daughter. I have taught her not to be a slant sticker but she could be off. Edit: 13.75

Life imitating art? Dawn Awakening the prequel?

Blasted!!! Sweet.

Wow. First I've seen a radar image today. Looks like Brooklyn was getting pounded. But here in Manchester, just near Hartford I can definitely see how we were in that area of weakness.

Just a real fine snow here. Visibility is not the best, but the snow is just not amounting to much.

Really not much here at work (Manchester). Maybe an inch or 2 if that. Hopefully it's piling up better back in Brooklyn. I have not checked with my source there yet.

Snow growth not too great here at work in Manchester, but was pretty good in Brooklyn, 40 miles east. Definitely a different scene back home.

I was under the impression this was going to be a dry snow. Sh*t is wet and heavy. 34F right now.

Brought back to life for the Codfishsnowman.
