KamuSnow

Snowing here as well, nothing showing on the ground yet, but Yay!!! 36F.

Eta - coming down pretty hard at the moment, beautiful fatties!

Heard a couple rumbles of thunder here.

I always seem to come back to this each winter or YT throws it in my recommended list....

 

I'd say the chances of him liking snow are non-zero, but pretty slim, lol.

Cloudy here, no flake sightings, but it's still 31°F. It even dropped back to 30 for a bit. Very unusual. It would be nice to get some of this overperforming cold air with a storm a little closer!

Don't know if it's a crappy webcam/condensation on the lens or foggy as hell in PSU. Beaver St...press play/live cam.

 

They have the right idea, keeps those lights up till it snows, lol. Topped off our tree tonight, different string of lights, but it's ready.

I figured I would share this here.

Thanks Mike, lol. We decided to put lights on a tree outside (which we hadn't had time to do before the holidays) in order to encourage the snow. Still gotta add some more, but they will look great when it does snow!

I swear this model was better 7 years ago. Not bad for a 10-day forecast. Absolutely nailed it:

Yes it did! Remember?

I will say it's pretty encouraging that the mid range has 2-3 legit threats for measurable snow. None are perfect threats and all are looking fairly minor, but I'd be fairly surprised at this point if none of them bring measurable snow. They look messy, ie rain to snow or snow to rain, but I'm growing more confident that we at least see a 1-3"er in there so we at least will be over a trace on the season hopefully... 

The Sunday night possibility seems to have legs, definitely a thread the needle situation. It's got the wiggum rule working for it as of today, lol.

63F Checking for bee's today

 

 

I saw a honey bee earlier, and thought of you, lol.

I usually keep the inside/outside lights up/on till the Birds lose and done for the year. This way I may actually see snow one year w/the lights still up/on...

54F/Overcast

 

Yeah we often keep them on one tree outside until sometime in March, lol, whenever it looks like we are done with snow, for that reason. It does look nice (with snow). Problem is, this year we never got around to putting them up. We had some on that tree but a buck must've got his antlers tangled in them, cuz we found a string in the field about 40 feet away.

@Ralph Wiggum and @Birds~69 hope you guys feel better soon! And Happy New Year to you and everyone in this subforum!

I honestly don't think we see much of anything...some flakes maybe. No real support on the ens. The premise of my post was more to show the roller coaster with us possibly touching 60 then flakes a few days later.

Eta: Euro has the temp swing and flakes as well. I just think the effect is pretty neat and somewhat predictable

Just going by memory, no data, it seems that when the wiggum rule works it's usually accumulating snow, more than just flakes. We shall see!

Sad snow pile....just sad. But it's something.

Lol, the good news is it wasn't a pile, no human intervention involved!

Merry Christmas everyone! I found a couple of these micro snow patches this morning ⛄!

10F here, still windy!

Looked at Watertown NY webcam, they're expecting 2 to 4 ft. of snow overnight and tomorrow with blizzard warnings.

Damn, it's cold out, only a mile. 17F is fine but that wind is killer.

17F

Well you gave it a shot! Invigorating isn't it, lol? At least for the first few minutes...

Lost? That's a train wreck. Burn it in your fire pit while enjoying some Ketel One or JD . Looks dead,dry and good to burn.

19F/Winds cranking... 

Well, we have been running low on kettle fire wood lately, but not anymore! Don't think we'll have the traditional Friday night kettle fire tonight though. Pretty brutal out with the wind.

Wow…glad it didn’t land on anything!

P.S. That the saddest looking snow pile (puddle) I’ve ever seen. Reminds me of when Frosty went into the hothouse.

Thanks! Lol, yeah there was a pile of slush earlier from the rain washing the sleet down the driveway, but even that's gone.

Wow.   Glad nothing was damaged.  

Thanks! Missed a lot of things, like the well head across the driveway, some bushes, etc. Fell in the perfect spot. We feel lucky.

Do you think tomorrow morning is going to have thick & streaming lake effect clouds from the NW flow? Or clearer skies? Was thinking it could be a decent sunrise, might shoot to the shore to take some pics, with the well-groomed swell and strong offshore winds it should look nice.  

Might not be too bad, forecast here calls for west winds tomorrow. Could be nice and steamy out on the water!

22F here, DP 8. The snow frosting dried up or melted, but this cold means business.

Lost a tree around noon that we knew was on the way out, had planned on cutting off one large mostly dead branch, but now the whole tree is down. It was about 7 feet from the NW corner of the barn, but it fell due north, thankfully. I mean thank goodness! It did empty the rainwater out of the green wagon, lol. Gives me something to do in my spare time, haha.

Still a little light snow here, 30F. Back edge closing in, but we got a frosting on the grass. Nice to see snow flying today!

Getting some flakes mixing in here now. 37F.

I think we're alright for snow looking at points west. MA/S always seems to get screwed...I'll take a 1" w/wind and we're guaranteed a white Christmas w/the cold temps expected.

43F/Rain

That thin line was cool, started as a heavy shower, then over to heavy sleet, and then back to light rain in about 5 minutes. Did get a coating of sleet in shaded areas. Temp now 40F.
