North Balti Zen Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 @aldie 22there we go - from the other thread... Quote WOW. After ingesting MASSIVE changes in the atmosphere between 12z and 15z, SREF shows this much snow through hour 87, with more on the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Hoco closed again tomorrow. They’re blaming the cold weather advisory I think this storm showed how much we rely on natural melting to clear snow in our area. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In mine and @mitchnickdays before they had electricity schools rarely closed. I remember having to slide on my ass to the bottom of my block to catch the school bus since my block was too icy for it to come on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I like my idea! Everyone throws in a dollar, it’s a raffle ticket (so maybe you can enter several times), and we send one of us to Boston all-expenses paid. Easy. I’ll collect the money. Nobody worry about it.

This hobby is so tiring I think between last February and last week I've finally gotten the joy of this hobby beaten out of me. At this point it simply is what it is and the atmosphere will do what it will. No need to get upset or invested about it until its snowing; after all, when in my life has it trended to not ruin a storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 You know folks in the DMV, Snowshoe is not all that far away from you all. All the answers to all your ills is there at Snowshoe, they have been getting demolished by torrential snow for weeks and weeks! By now they probably have more snow than Mammoth has right now. Mammoth only has 64 inches in their snowpack. I know Snowshoe has much much more than that. It has been snowing HARD every day for the past two MONTHS! That place is The Day After Tomorrow! It's been cloudy for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks there and it is ALWAYS snowing at night! It's been like that at Snowshoe since late November! Talk about a MICROCLIMATE! https://www.snowshoemtn.com/media-room/skidder-slope-live-cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighborhood has always been good about clearing them, but this storm was a complete breakdown. Kids walking to sledding locations have been walking in the streets. No way was school ever opening.

The “healthiest” way to like snow is probably just to look at the 7-day forecast and be thankful for what you get. Take a ski trip every year so you don’t get skunked. Problem is I don’t think there is any way out once you get in too deep. I’m sure even those who have left our forum still check in their own time. Might as well suffer together, IMO! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and trips to WV. Though I agree its too late for us but we can still make it better by limiting exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If forecasting the weather seven days out were as simple as looking at the Euro and calling it gospel, I wouldn’t find it nearly as compelling. The real fascination lies in the uncertainty of what might unfold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid back in the day, there was something to be said for waking up to a surprise 7" of "partly cloudy" on the driveway the next morning. Magical. Nowdays kids can't even get a snow day break with remote learning, even though most snowstorms are of the perpetually fake 1 week out variety sponsored by our pal the GFS.

Tom Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 this storm or non storm is killing business, in the auto transport business and trucks are avoiding the southeast from last storm and now with the potential new storm they just find easier routes to run. Hope since it's already killing business might as well get a decent storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhotoGuy Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Really should have gotten into the snow removal business with this storm. On a few local Facebook groups, people are making $200+ to clear home sidewalks/driveways. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
