Man, this scale still works lol

One year anniversary of my dad’s passing, gorgeous weather as we placed flowers today. Beautiful sunset.

61 at home

Absolutely extraordinary out there. Places like Buffalo and Watertown getting a snow bonanza while Rochester and Sizzlecuse are light years behind. Though after the catastrophic event in Buffalo, many are probably done emotionally with this season. Speaking of, I saw the BUF recorded what may be a record for low elevation in sustained blizzard conditions. What’s the record for a place like BOS/BDL/NYC @ORH_wxman?

Congrats Buffalo?

Yore

They auto imbed images, yes. They do not auto imbed gifs. It’s very useful.

I agree. As down as I am on the season, there’s certainly still a viable pathway to a decent season at this point.

This gives me hope that mby doesn’t have to be a seasonal sucker hole when a good season comes around again. Also, just put the images on Imgur and link them here. That’ll eliminate the need to use attachments.

I was and will always be disgusted with what happened in December, but I’m a little less disgusted than I was a week ago. I thought I had a low bar with expecting an advisory and warning event and we never got close. On the other hand, there was a Parthenon storm for the Lakes/very high end storm for much of the continental US. We got unlucky in a tremendous longwave pattern, but saw high end cold around Christmas. That kind of cold and that kind of storm are hard to replicate. Subjectively for me, I’m not sure winter will be redeemed in a meaningful way for me, especially if we’re struggling another year to reach climo. Objectively however, there’s still peak climo coming up and the pattern looks decent enough. Past performance doesn’t guarantee the same result in the future. Yes, I’d like snow imby and yes I think it’ll snow again. I don’t do the mental gymnastics because I think generally I have good perspective on this stuff. I just don’t care what happens at this point. There’s no bar. It’s whatever.

It was a beaut

Epic Yeah. Mega storm still happened but just not in the way we wanted in our backyards.

Haha no. Just giving love to the swirls out there.

Landfall imminent

First time above freezing since Son of Grinch

From today’s walk along the Connecticut River.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

We had our chance and blew it in epic fashion. Is what it is. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

It’s brutal. Absolutely brutal.

Congrats

Definitely not as bad as 2020, as I agree there, but I think there are more without power this time?

I don’t think a rat will happen, but I’m prepared for another below normal season here. It’s whatever.
