We’ve gotten two inches in the past 45 minutes. Amazing to have real snow after almost two years. I’ve been going outside every 30 to 45 minutes. Huge flakes pouring down. The word I’m choosing to describe this is... JOY:)
27 degrees according to Wunderground.
I’m delighted at the possibility of a real snow. Last winter was an exercise in snow desolation. 2020 as a year has been misery-filled. The possibility of snow... real snow... and fierce winds swirling the snow into ethereal etchings in the air... It’s nice to feel pure joy and hope.
If we get at least five inches or more, I’m going to be outside every chance I get. I’ve missed the muffled silence snow brings... and the crisp crunch of fresh snow underfoot...
Do any of you have apple devices? I have like ten weather apps on my iphone and most of them frankly suck. I just wondered if any of you have any weather app suggestions?
Sorry if this was the wrong place to put this...Oh! Also, a late Merry Christmas. Happy New Year, and happy solstice, happy holidays, and happy everything:)
Flurries here right now. With A high of 64 in the forecast for Saturday, I sure hope a big snow follows... or at least something that feels like winter.
Thank you, KamuSnow! I’ll be checking this thread multiple times an hour... partly due to making decisions tomorrow, but also because I love when there’s possible winter weather afoot and all of you start posting a lot- it’s wonderful!
I’m going to be glued to this thread over the next 20 hours. Husband has a company Christmas party in Lawrenceville, NJ... and we have tickets to see a Miyazaki film tomorrow night at Oxford Valley. I’m originally from TN where there aren’t many snow plows when weather gets bad so we learn to stay far away from each other in case we slip and slide.... but up here, most cars seem to ride each other’s bumpers when the road is covered with snow or ice so I prefer to give driving in it a miss if possible. I was happy to read that Wiggum thinks things might be looking positive for a real winter.
It’s currently 33 here. We’ve had snow this evening, but it’s soaking wet outside now. The snowfall isn’t heavy enough (It’s really flurries) to lay on the ground at all. Disappointing to be sure.
Still. I rather like Wiggum’s words about having a disappointing early storm paving the way for a nice winter this year as opposed to the opposite that happened last year.
34 here. A few flurries. We don’t have sunshine like some of you are mentioning. The sky here looks like a solid grey sheet of paper.
*Note pic is from this morning after the ten minutes of lightly heavy (it was a bit more than moderate) snow. No snow since other than occasional flurries.
You’re right. I do know Though that we might get nothing... after last winter, I’ve been trained to expect the least (no snow at all), but I tend to be naturally optimistic and idealistic...
I am so happy about snow!!! After last year where it seemed like every storm had a weather pattern against us, it’s wonderful to see changes going in a positive direction... I hope this is the beginning of a very snowy winter for all of us! ⛄️❄️
So there’s no chance of the temp dropping to help the storm? We’ve got snow in the forecast (Newtown) from 6 am to 11 pm. I see temps from 39 to 37 all day which goes against the snow actually happening much less sticking... but can’t the temp end up being cooler?
it’s just so quiet here. I thought I’d see excitement about the possibilities... and discussion about what white whale changes need to happen for the storm to become a reality.
Don’t give up on snow and winter already. You guys really make winter and the joy of weather come alive.
