KamuSnow

Still 39F here at 9:30 pm. Outside the snow looks great under about a 65% full moon.

Good list, lol. For me, the pile idea originates in the fact that at our climo snow has a way of disappearing, even multiple times during a winter. You never know how long your snow cover is going to stick around, beyond a week or two. So the concept is to preserve it, since I like it around during the winter. Bigger pile theoretically equals longer duration. Sometimes it becomes a thing, haha. It might not if I lived in Maine? Footprints in the snow, lol. I get that, but we have so many night critters around here that after a few days it looks like a kids playground.

Yeah I wasn't expecting to add much if any yesterday, but between the amount (which allowed driveway stickage), and the moisture content it was a no brainer, lol. Nice piles and snowy landscape!

Lol - the guy who sometimes plows our driveway, his kids when they were younger used to play on the pile.

Oh yeah.

Maybe we should make a little sled for them!

Lol, the one neighbor doesn't say anything but he's said in the past "you're doing what you enjoy" in reference to other things (we're always outside working on this place and we love it, in fact we're having a kettle fire right now). The other neighbor actually has a plow and over the years has made passes through here which I appreciate (we help each other out). But there have been times when I've asked him not to, including this month, and I have no idea what he says to others, but he does know that we like to make piles lol.

Lol, I had that thought, but I worked my butt off to get it that size, and that record may stand (here), so why keep it a secret. This is the place for sharing crazy weather stuff after all : -). I've been doing fun things with snow for a looong time!

Here is the snow pile, a new record at just over 8ft high! Now I'm ready for a couple days of rest, lol. (I used a 6ft stepladder to measure it).

31.6" after today.

Switched to rain here about 40 minutes ago, but measured 3.2" before that. Getting mashed down by the rain and 37F temps now. Still, an overperformer for me, I thought an inch or 2 in spite of the lofty projections by some models. An awesome event, nice snow falling for a few hours, puts me over 30" for the season, and should really help to extend the snowpack into the weekend it would seem. 5th accumulating event this month, pretty cool.

Yeah the yellows are legit, especially when it's snow, vs. sleet.

Wow, this baby is finishing strong. Just had the heaviest rates of the day for a few minutes, although it's starting to get sleety now.

Fwiw just got upgraded to a WWA here. Closing in on 3" as heavy snow continues to fall.

Agreed! Heavy snow here at the moment, got some big flakes in the mix.

It's been waffling back and forth over me for about the last half hour or so. Currently moderate-heavy snow, temp up to 35F. Got 1.6" of snow before the sleet, and about .40 of Delco mix since then.

About 1/2" here too, picking up a bit, moderate to almost heavy at times.

Yeah and it's moving north, waaah. Come on heavy snow!

Yeah, that CC radar, lol. A great tool but it usually confirms your worst fears at our latitude.

Moderate snow here, a fresh coating, looks great. Temp. did come up a degree to 33F.

Thanks, hello, and welcome! I could be wrong, it's the weather you know (it has the final say), but I'd guess you'll be okay by the time you head home.

I'm considering it as bonus snow!

Also true. Snow is getting steadier here now, still relatively small flakes.

Might be okay - most of rush hour is past, warmer in the pm, mid day thru early afternoon for cleanup. Could be not too bad.

Getting small flakes here now.
