  1. Check out Boardroom Spirits in Lansdale. They're open because they also make hand sanitizer, and they deliver. Shhh....don't tell anyone. I've been watching You Tube videos on how to cut your own hair. Working up the courage to give it a shot.
  2. I'd have to go back and check, but I think the storm in late Feb 2010 was a retrograding low. Pouring rain in SNE and dumping snow from NYC south. Back to the current pattern... Most useless -NAO ever!
  3. Ha...yeah, the morning cloud deck was just about to burn off when the clouds from the west moved in.
  4. Get that inside 15 minutes and I’m all in!
  5. Heavy frost out there this morning. Glad I have no where to go, wouldn't feel like scrapping the windshield. 30F.
  6. Yeah, it’s weird. Obviously the weather team was told to stay home.
  7. Bill Henley called into the studio to do the weather rather than appear on camera today.
  8. And I was one of those idiots who, after seeing that report on the 6 o"clock news, grabbed my cc and ran to the state store...lol! So much for "social distancing". In all seriousness, hope everyone stays virus free and things get back to usual sooner rather than later.
  9. Forecasted to get down to 35F tonight and up to 70F tomorrow. Wild temp swings and wind is all we've had to track this year.
  10. I never broke out the kerosene heater this winter. I put down some grass seed last weekend and am currently running the sprinkler.
  11. Getting some mangled flakes when heavier precip moves through, 37F. But these 1: -1 ratios just aren't gonna cut it.
  12. Heavy rains and some gusty winds out there. No lightning or thunder.
  13. Yep! An extra day of Redsky’s double dog dumb azz winter of dumb azz
  14. The heavy (loud) rain woke me up...lol! I thought I saw a flash of lightning, but never heard thunder, so maybe I only imagined it in my half awake state.
  15. Guess a bunch of us MA weenies signed up and overwhelmed the program!
  16. “Welcome to”?? It’s been spring since Thanksgiving.
  17. Here's an interesting thought experiment...where would you rather live? No middle ground here. Pick one or the other: A place like Marquette MI where even in a bad season, you're gonna get 150" of snow. No need to worry about teleconnections, blocking, ENSO, sun spots, any of it! Just get the wind to blow from the right direction and you're digging out. But then I wonder, would I care about snow at the point? Would I quickly get bored with it like the kid who has a pool in his backyard but never goes swimming? I think that's what make us weenies -- even though it does snow around here, it's still something special. Even in our best winters, we're still only talking about 3 good storms or so. Or would you rather live in a place like Key West, where there is absolutely NO chance of snow. Again, you're not torturing yourself looking at long-range guidance or seasonal outlooks. It's not going to snow, who cares! Just spend the winters drinking margaritas and watching beautiful sunsets.
  18. Got down to 19F overnight...almost makes you think it was winter.
  19. I heard Glenn on KYW the other day and thought it was odd. Now I know why. KYW was always on when I came down for breakfast as a kid. Can't tell you how many times Elliot Abrams broke my heart saying, "snow quickly changing to wind-swept rain".
  20. I dipped below freezing and am now sitting at 29F. This is a top 5 event of the winter so far.
  21. Lol...you almost made me get off the couch and look at the porch light!
  22. Still, I'm sure the local news is going to make it sound like the next ice age is upon us.
  23. Currently my forecasted highs for Fri and Sat are 32F and 33F. I remember when arctic outbreaks meant daytime highs struggled to reach the low teens.
  24. Didn't think the storms were all that bad IMBY yesterday, but I was wrong. My end of the street is fine, but a few 100 yards at the other end, these's a downed tree, utility pole and plenty of large limbs. I've seen the same thing driving around the Lansdale/Towamecin area today. Not sure how I lucked out w/o any damage, but glad I did.
