    Heard peepers last night, and had our 1st groundhog sighting yesterday. Nice today, 55F and sunny, with a little bit of wind.

    Don't know about elsewhere, but it's been pretty windy here at times tonight. Forecast was for 10-15 mph winds but there had to be gusts up to 25 or 30. We had a kettle fire tonight and the wind in the trees was roaring at times.

    Hubba hubba!

    I can handle the cold as long as there's snow involved, otherwise at this point, 40's at least would be fine. Today was real nice.
  5. KamuSnow
    Spring fever is in the air! 43F here so far.

    Looking forward to 40's and sunny here, for outside work! Made it to 24F here, currently 31F.

    Someone the other day mentioned it being called a ratter in the NE forum. So maybe winter of rats azz?

    Look on the bright side, we got an extra day of meteorological winter this year.
  9. KamuSnow
    It does look nice on paper....

    A few flakes here too, off and on. 38F.

    Wow - that's good! None here yet, although I did see a couple of flowers on a forsythia out back last weekend.

    Not too many in a row though which is helping the buds etc to stay on the down low.

    I'm ready for 50s and 60s soon if it's not going to snow. I think the long stretches without snow to liven things up make the winter feel longer. At the same time I'm kind of glad it hasn't been too warm for too long, it seems to be helping the buds etc. to remain semi-dormant. Spring flowers in February probably wouldn't work out.

    Back in 1971 they had 2 feet on Thanksgiving so I drove up there on Friday for the day. I went one other time and it had rained, froze, been "groomed", and you really didn't want to fall cuz it was like skiing on ice cubes, lol.
  15. KamuSnow
    I think it's 500 feet (max)? Back in the day I liked Elk Mountain - a further drive, but not as crowded and about double the vertical drop.

    Road trip for you!

    Haven't seen ours yet.

    There were more double digit snowfalls in the suburbs. Many of the Nor'easters gave an additional 50% or more snow to the northwest suburbs than where they measured in PHL. For example, Dec. 24 1966 has PHL at 12.7", in NW Delco we had 20", and Chesco had 24" I believe. Pretty sure there were one or more coastals with snow every winter from 1960-61 through 1966-67.

    I remember Jan. 1987 and Jan. 1978 particularly for 2 or 3 northeasters in a row, and Elliot on at 25 after the hour I think when he would do a synoptic discussion of what was going on, and why it would start as snow and then change to rain with 2 to 4" in the NW suburbs before the changeover. And in both years the last storm didn't changeover until we had like 11". That was pretty cool. I really enjoyed the in depth discussions. Might have had it at 55 after the hour as well, not sure though.

    Lol...yeah I thought we'd get 2" at some point between February and March, but maybe not. Not looking forward to a hot summer, but we might be "due", I mean like extended periods in mid 90s and higher, with humidity of course. Hopefully not! One of these years we'll have some snow and it will be awesome. A 2013 - 2014 redux would be nice....even 1/2 of that. You know it's bad when the idea of grading the winter doesn't even come up, lol.
  21. KamuSnow
    Ah, an empathic and fair weather god. I like the concept. I think I've done a snow dance or two in my life. Or alternately, the idea of things balancing out is still valid. I believe strongly that we will see snow again, maybe even 6" of snow during met winter! Soon, but not yet. There's also the wtf factor (lol).
  22. KamuSnow
    Thanks Don... I remember that winter around here as 2 weeks of cold and snow culminating in PD1 on the 19th. Not much of a winter before and after. Only 2 weeks of winter, but quality if you like snow.
  23. KamuSnow
    Light snow here and 33F. I wish - actually a few raindrops and 45F.
  24. KamuSnow
    Getting a snow shower here too, 39F. Cool, had a tornado warning in the morning and snow in the afternoon! I wonder if that's in the Wiggum rule handbook? Also, that's the 2nd tornado warning here in 4 months lol - November and February. Whodathunkit?
  25. KamuSnow
    That got the adrenalin going, lol. Strong winds, branches breaking, even heard a rumble of thunder. No tornado thankfully. We were sitting on the porch and for a moment I thought we should maybe go inside, but it blew through pretty quickly.
