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. I think I used a toboggan on this snow covered with ice stuff and flew down the hill, Apply some silicone spray on the bottom and you'll break records, Think Chevy Chase Christmas vacation... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Think the plastic sled will glide well over the ice topping. WU going with 1-3 tomorrow night. Hoping for a inch...anything more, overachiever. "Occasional snow showers. Low 16F. WSW winds at less than 5 mph, increasing to 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 60%. 1 to 3 inches of snow expected." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have my American Flyer from childhood. One of these days I’ll get around to refurbishing it—sand down the runners and repaint them, refinish the wood. But for now it remains one of dozens of “I’ll-get-around-to-it-someday” projects on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Was never impressed with tonight's "event". Thinking most spots will be lucky to see a fresh coating with a dusting being more realistic. Scattered snow shows will be the rule with any 'jackpot' areas of a coating being the exception. Bundle up, a cold Saturday is on tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Di Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago I'm OK with just some flakes flying around. Headed up to Schwenksville tomorrow just about the time the front comes. Weird feeling nervous about leaving the house, but I'll only be gone 24 hrs. I'll get a text if the power goes out. Fuel gauge is on 1/2 tank. Stay warm folks!

ChescoWx Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Our coldest weather of the year is on the way over this weekend. Snow showers should begin from west to east across the area this evening with occasional snow showers and maybe a snow squall tomorrow morning. The high tomorrow will be overnight tonight but quickly fall into the single digits above zero during the day tomorrow with winds gusting as high as 50mph. The extreme cold warning goes into effect at 3pm tomorrow. Snow amounts will be light with between a coating and an inch at most. We should finally warm up to near freezing by Tuesday with a chance for some freezing rain or rain by Wednesday with temperatures just above freezing in most spots.

JTA66 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Going on 3 weeks with snow cover, not the easiest thing to do around here. Barring any prolonged torch next week, I think we make it to 4 weeks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 21 hours ago, The Iceman said: I'm just glad to know we can still do long sustained cold in these parts... I was getting worried that transient cold was the new norm. The past couple years, the PV has been unloading on the other side of the world into Siberia (northern Russia & northernChina). For example back in Jan. 2023 where we seemed to completely miss the snow (I had just over an inch for the 2022 - 2023 season), where there the PV unloaded over Siberia - Siberia sees coldest air in two decades as temperature dips to minus-80 Siberia sees coldest air in two decades as temperature dips to minus-80January 11, 2023 We were probably overdue! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
