mreaves Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Or you could enjoy what happens from this point forward for more than just a final number in a computer databaseI know what you're saying and will appreciate it if we get some winter. However, as has been said by us NNE'rs ad nauseum, everything about this winter has been a failure. I've lived up here since I was 7 and have never seen it this bad. Anyway, since we were tossing around the football analogy, I think my description holds. As a Miami Dolphins fan, I am used to trailing by 42-10 entering the 4th quarter. It is always hard to enjoy seeing them score 3 touchdowns against the third string defense only to lose by the deceptively close score of 42-31.

weathafella Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Easy transition from Nicaragua temperature wise. Left as temps were plunging towards the coldest in decades and return to the faux spring we have. Still looks very interesting to me around 3/1.

eduggs Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Lake Placid looked like late April this weekend. There's no snow up there. It's incredible. Here in the Albany area we haven't had a single snowstorm all winter. Just a few lake effect snow showers and a sleet storm that turned to rain. Sure the season snow total is 8" or so but it still feels like we're stuck at zero. We really never started winter. A worse snow winter is almost impossible.

eyewall Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I hate the fact that I was correct in saying this week's storm would cut when it was looking like we had a chance for a short time.

HoarfrostHubb Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 One of our neighbors went away to Florida this week. We are not really close to them but one of their sons is in Scouts with our son and they are nice folks. They had a baseboard heater pipe burst due to last weekend's cold then thaw. Thousands of gallons of water destroyed walls, ceilings, appliances, their furnace. They had 5 feet of water in their basement. They stayed in Florida for longer so insurance could set them up with a trailer, etc. we are starting to help them by laundering some of their kids clothes but what a disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some did not listen and paid the price. I learned my lesson in 94 with an outside faucet line,thankfully had a shutoff up line. Respect the -30 850 with sustained 35. I had my building pressure at work more positive than its ever been and it worked. Nothing froze. I read the stories of all the restaurants in Boston shutdown because of broken fire sprinkler systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I guess they had the heat on but maybe with no one in the house air didn't circulate enough? We have pretty much identical houses (same builder) and have been lucky. But we cranked the heat and dripped faucets. Opened cabinets etc. Them being away was the big issue too. I guess it was water coming out of a door that alerted a passer by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked through the house then opened the basement door and took two steps and stepped in water. The same thing you described happened, the basement had 5 feet of water. It was during a cold spell like we recently had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 8" is unreal. Wtf!!! I have 41" on the season right on the bay on Long Island. Not bragging at all trust me I would give some of my snow to give the southern mountains (and Albany too) more snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 I think my largest event is 5" which included about 1" of sleet. It's been epically boring. The most tracking I've done this winter was with the cold shot. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
