Jeebus we have short memories! Didn't we learn anything from this past weekend?? Last week at this time we were looking at a suppressed storm. How did that work out? I'm not saying we're getting slammed this weekend. But let's give it to Thursday or so before pulling the plug.
-
First time out shoveling since noon yesterday. There's a light glaze on the car windows suggesting some ZR must have mixed in. Currently have a random flurry floating by. So to shovel and not hear the sound of drip-drip-drip. 20F/DP 17F
-
It's gonna be a long week
-
Glad I didn’t waste my time cleaning off the car, the sleet is doing a good job of sandblasting it for me.
-
My neighbor has a front end loader on his John Deere and just dug out the base of my driveway
-
If we get blitzed between now and say Valentine’s Day, I’ll gladly call it a winter.
-
As someone mentioned in the MA forum, when’s the last time we cashed in at the beginning of a good pattern? Usually our bigly storms come as the pattern is breaking down.
-
I take a guess and say PDII? We flipped to sleet for a time overnight Sunday into Monday. But other than that, can’t think of sleet with these temps.
-
IP here as well. Glad I listened to Deanna Durante and not Adam Joseph. Shoveling 8” of snow with 2” of sleet on top would be a bitch!
-
I waited too long to use the blower, the snow is too deep. The plows already made one pass down the street, so I shoveled a path to the car and dug out the base of the driveway. I don’t care if it’s a “light, fluffy” snow. If there’s enough of it, it’s a workout. Not seeing any IP yet, but the snow did have that sleety sound to it. 12F/DP 8F
-
I was thinking about using the leaf blower too. 10F/DP 7F Do we have to go all the way back to PDII or the ‘96 storm the last time we had snow at these temps?
-
Too bad today’s game is in Denver and not New England
-
Trash night. Should I bother?
-
Adam Joseph said don’t shovel. Deanna Durante said to shovel in stages. Wating for Fred Schropshire to weigh in.
-
It’s been a long week.
-
With the cold, every flake will count and result in good ratios. The heavy banding is the wildcard. Fingers crossed!
-
That map has me in the dark purple. Pretty close to my thinking of 6-10” imby.
-
Maybe Flo hacked the NAM?
-
I see the radar has some returns in PA, I just figured it was all virga. 15F/DP -2F
-
Oh yeah, scored a variety of vodkas, whiskeys and bourbons. I should make it to next weekend now Seriously, wtf is wrong with ppl?? You’ll be stuck in your house for a day and 1/2 at most. By Monday afternoon you’ll be able to get to Wawa or McDonald’s.
-
I think I’m so traumatized from a decade of crap winters that anything non-liquid falling from the sky feels like a win.
-
It’s all about perspective, right? It’s a letdown because we were looking at the potential of a foot or more of snow earlier in the week. But what if we were looking at a rainstorm earlier in the week and it evolved into this? We’d be doing cartwheels. That’s why an old-timer met likes to say, “enjoy the weather, it’s the only weather you got.”
-
This has been my idea since Thursday. Since then, my confidence has decreased, not increased. But I’ll let it ride and go down with ship if need be. Meanwhile, I’ll be at the whiskey & chocolate fest in Oaks today picking up storm supplies.
-
Agnes can post the pretty maps, but looks like the NAM is spitting out 2.5” of IP. That will be fun to shovel.
-
Also flips Philly and the burbs over to light freezing drizzle late Sunday evening. Doubt there will be radar hallucinations with this, should come in hot & heavy. But maybe some weenie wishcasting, “the low is 5 miles further south than modeled 120hrs ago, it’s coming in colder!”. 9F/DP -5F
