I am ready for a nice thaw after the prolonged cold. We will snow again, but let's take a break. Ulster County up here especially needs it cleaning out and recovering from the devastating ice storm.
State of emergency for Ulster County just to my west with up to half inch radial ice accretion there, half the county without power, many limbs and wires down, reports of people trapped in trailers. Praying for the most vulnerable there. They really got the worst. Grateful my area in Dutchess escaped the worst by an icy hair.
I appreciate the cold and semi snow cover. I just want 1-2 winter storm warnings and 6+ inch snowfalls, ideally one of those a foot plus. I realize there have been winters when we have done a lot worse, but it's a bit tougher when the screw zones are so loud. The rest of Feb looks like decent potential for us, fingers crossed.
I see a theme this winter. Poughkeepsie is the screw zone capital of NYS. Too far north, too far west, too far East, now Friday, too far South. We covered all the directions, yaaay!!!
Giving this winter my middle finger
