Who amongst us hasn’t been up all night with a drink in hand at 6:18 in the morning

I haven't been up all night but was sipping bourbon before bed and just made a screwdriver for breakfast, which will be avocado toast with poached eggs. Cheers!

He's gay dude.  He's a 6'5  delicate flower.  He;s not a weather nerd.   I'll allow it.

Woke up to see a panicked rabbit taking big hops across the yard right into a chicken wire fence.  I guess he had limited visibility and his normal exits blocked with the ~4" of glorious white stuff. The tyke will be getting up soon and standard protocol will insist on going outside immediately - loves the snow like us junkies here. Maybe more hmmm I wonder why.

Snow/sleet/ice on championship Sunday. Looks like a bit of snow in Denver with temps in the teens at gametime.

Dude, I'm so lit.  And I'm enjoying the hell out of this.  Don't care if we flip so.  This was a fantastic night.  I'm good.  Might have some eggs and sausage and wait for the flip and then pass out.

Heavy snow looks like about 4.5 inches measuring, if we could hang on for another hour it would be cool and make a run at 6 with these rates.

Snow/sleet mix has flipped in the last 30 minutes to a rain/sleet mix.

Hahaha awesome! Me on the other hand just woke up drinking coffee and considering some edibles. 

I had my two spliffs last night so I would sleep early.

I'm choosing to believe the sleet line has collapsed under the sheer power of this arctic CAD.

3.5” at 640.  16 degrees, pouring snow , but flakes at rimmed and getting louder…coffee brewing, bottle of bourbon cream ready to fortify for when the sleet arrives.

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate that it’s 14 FREAKING DEGREES and puking snow

Oh wow that was quick! That could bode very poorly for us, we have like 12 hours of precip left and it’s insanely cold.  If this becomes an entire day of freezing rain it will be a big problem.

Baltimore snow walk time! 13 degrees! I’m not banking on the changeover waiting until 9 or 10 AM, so it’s now or never! 

[CAPE]

Heaviest snow so far and 15 degrees. Pushing 4" looking outside on the deck.

[aldie 22]

Just hit 5" a bit ahead of schedule but I fear the ping soon

It’s Humpty Dumpty dumping snow….NAMs can suck it

[Imgoinhungry]

Its beautiful. I said it reminded me of Jan 2010, but Ji forcefully disagreed.
