Cold Miser

Ride into work seemed to show off all types of Frozen Precip. Rain last night, with some sleet mixed in. Sleet pelted for a bit, and I almost became aroused. When I left Lava lake @6:00am, as expected there was nothing to show for winter precip. I drove off into the darkness through a depressing, very light rain, 35F, and meh. The hills of western Pomfret and Eastern Eastford had a light dusting of snow along the sides of the road. Temp was 33/34. Traveling on through Ashford, and into Uconn territory the precip was light rain, but at one point the temp was slighting below freezing, and I think I hit freezing rain for a bit. Moving through Coventry into Bolton Notch, precip picked up quite significantly as moderate sleet was falling @34/35 F...coating up the surfaces. This caused minor excitement and a bit of movement in my pants, but not sustained. Here in Manchester light snow is falling @36F. Was moderate snow earlier. With the exception of a few gusts overnight, so far the event has been mega-meh as expected in these parts. Edit: Coming into Storrs was the most "damage", but really not much. A few limbs in the road, most had already been cut to allow traffic to pass.

While some up north have a shot at a decent, final round of snow, for most of the forum winter weather is finished...For me, it was finished in mid-February, as the season went out with a bang, pounding me with an entire 1"...I think from a cold squall line. The grades (all items are equally weighted) Overall Seasonal Snowfall: F Picking up where I left off last season, I ended up with another meager, seasonal total...15", which was only 4" more than last winter's disaster. Snow vs. Rain: F Rain was king Staying power/ (number of days) of pack: D- What little "Pack" that I had did manage to hang around a bit. Local winter enjoyment: F Temperature: C Cold was there, but just not at the right time. Snowstorms/ events (quality/ quantity): F My biggest event was under 6"...Not even nude-worthy. Overall Grade: F Again, a failure of a season, my second full year at Lava Lake, but I'm sure the "so much potential" crew will chime in.

April 82 I was living south of Albany. 12 years old, and an awesome storm.

You enjoy pain and suffering.

At least you're confident and persistent.

Lon Chaney?

2024...the year of 2 April's. ...One, just slightly colder than the other.

The new reality. Winter is now just a side dish, not even a season anymore. Deal with it.

Thanks for this. It made me lol pretty good.

Stop, or you'll hurt yourself.

...including this ever so fruitful, eventful, and downright amazing winter season of 23/24.

Totality directly over our place in the Adirondacks, but I'm not getting too excited with all the cloud cover forecasting going on.

April 1, 1997 will save us.

Post winter melt-downs. ...Hate to see it from such good people.

Of course. If I could somehow get the rain jackpot for CT, it would just make this month complete for me.

lol. That makes sense.

Awesome, and what days / time should I expect this to ruin my day (hopefully the entire weekend)?

F.uck Florida. I've been to Florida 5 times. Each of those 5 times I was there in October. ...4 times in Orlando, and one time in Pensacola (6 total if you count the few hours of time in early November, docked near Coco Beach before the cruise I was on continued on to the Bahamas). Each of those times it was really f.ucking hot, and really fu.cking flat and uninteresting. I thought Pensacola was o.k., but not a place I'd want to live. Some extra random, notable things about the trips....One time flying in there was a hurricane that could be viewed outside the airplane window. That was cool as hell to see from above. (I keep wanting to say hurricane Floyd, but I think it was a gulf-centric storm). Another time I saw a shuttle launch all the way from on a boat in the middle of the lake at downtown Disney. Seeing the ball of fire blasting into space was pretty bad-ass. During the Pensacola trip it was after a massive oil spill, and the coastal areas were desperate for business. The area had just re-opened, and there were still small balls of oil washing up on shore. This was months after the spill. Wild sh.it.

Big problem, meaning?

What took you so long?

...You will never catch it.

Snow's kryptonite zone around my county. Par for the course in late March.
