  1. Lol, thanks for the pro tip! Don't have a toboggan but we have a longer plastic sled I'm gonna try. Also have a couple of the old American Flyers with the metal runners I could sand down and wax up, but I don't think I'd get too far with those. I'm 6'4 and 220 lbs, lol.
  2. I'm ready for some fresh powder to blow around, but imagine this cold spell with bare ground or a dusting, no thanks. This has been awesome, even exceptional. Hoping for at least one more significant snow, ideally while some of what we have is still on the ground. I am enjoying this winter! I did try sledding earlier, and I either need to lose some weight or get a bigger sled, the sleet layer was settling underneath the sled and slowing me down. If I got up to speed faster it might work. Fun stuff, lol. 23F currently.
  3. A few flakes of snow here, 29°F. Made it to 35 here today, but didn't really lose any snowpack. We discussed taking a shot at sledding on the sleet pack later this week, lol.
  4. Wound up with 9.0" here, 6.3" of snow and 2.7" of sleet. No liquid during the day, I was out in it. Must have had some freezing drizzle on the tail end, the sleet surface was locked together today. What an awesome storm, all snow would have been nice, but the sleet worked out just fine. Snowpile is happy! Plus there are a bunch of extra piles due to the volume. Now this week feels like about as heart of winter as it gets around here, between the snowpack and the cold. This winter is no slacker!
  5. COD is pretty good. Use the menu at.the upper left to select Correlation Coefficient (tilt=1). https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/?parms=https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/?parms=DOX-N0B-0-48-100-usa-rad Eta- pick the icon below the menu to pick a radar location..
  6. Speaking of '96, I woke up to heavy snow and 8°F, turned on the trusty weather radio, and we had a blizzard warning! It was a Sunday as well.
  7. Well that didn't take long, got the sleet, about 90/10 ratio with snow. 15F still.
  8. Just reached 6" here, still snowing nicely, but expect sleet any minute now. Really hoping we can avoid freezing rain. Currently 15°F. Beautiful day! I'm loving this winter!!!
  9. Light steady snow here, 17°F (down 1 degree since the snow began). A light dusting showing on driveway. Yay!
  10. Makes you want to open the windows, right? 7°F here, it's "brisk" out!
  11. Wow, just measured 1.6" additional since the last measurement, makes 3.5" for the day, 5.5" for the weekend. This kind of snuck up on us, lol. I mean the chances were there, but this exceeded expectations for sure. Eta - 14.0" for the season to date.
  12. Different scale, but I'd have to count Feb. 5th and 9th in 2010 in that category. But it sure is nice to just wallow in snow appreciation, that's where I am. Awesome!
  13. Nice to sample a noreaster! Feels like its been a while.
  14. What a beautiful day, and weekend! Snowing a steady light snow here, radar looks good for hopefully a couple of hours, total here so far is 1.9". Currently 32°F. Snow pile has been updated!
  15. 2" here, brings the season total to 10.5". And the snow pile is back! Nice pleasant surprise!
  16. Yeah those yellows turned out to be sleet. Not to worry, back to all snow. Nice surprise for a lot of people. Over an inch here, haven't measured, but I had some outside/yard plans for today, lol. Now I'll maybe start a new small snow pile. Ironically the one from December finished up and disappeared Thursday night, although still have a small incidental pile in the shade. Yay snow!
  17. Got a light snow and sleet mix here. 34°F, dp 17. Woo hoo, it has begun!
  18. I'm impressed he didn't use the word "patience", lol.
  19. Man it's windy out here! In the last half hour it really picked up. Power flickered a couple of times.
  20. Good practice for driving in snow! One Saturday night we went bowling and when we came out the parking lot was a sheet of ice. Even better it was on a slight incline, so you could do a string of donuts moving downhill. Good stuff! A few years later they ruined it by putting planters etc. all over it. Lol.
  21. I believe they sent an icebreaker up the Delaware in January 1977, it had been so cold!
