By then we'll be seeding the atmosphere and folks will be bitching that it's become far too cold... You will NEVER win

Certainly not dry IMBY. We had pretty much all of the snow melt before the rain, so you aren't going to see excess runoff. I was doing some yard cleanup yesterday afternoon and even the frost has gone very quickly. Those drought maps are as suspect as a BDL snow meaurement

I'll take it! It's my birthday weekend, so would be quite the gift. I have Friday off work as well and hope to spend some time outside

Diet Mnt. Dew here

Got used to the furnace quieting down... now this. We're weaning off the gas and leaning on pellets more this time of year. as long as the living room is warm, I don't care about the rest of the house... until we're back at pipe freeze temps!

Funny, I never grade only on amount of snow. Pack retention is big, however I'd rather have near continuous storms even if most/all of it melts in between. We had above average in Westfield and SImsbury, but got shafted on the Blizzard. In give this winter a solid B. If we had more continuous snow along with the pack, I'd have given an A-. I reserve A+ for winters like 93-94 and 95-96

A couple reasons I wouldn't even consider an A- for my area. First, the Blizzard was really nothing I haven't seen in 50 other smallish storms. Second, too few events. I mean sure we had several small ones, but to be an A for me it needs to be pretty much wall to wall events. I'd give it a solid B because of the long pack retention and on time start of the season. By March even in the best winters I'm pretty much done so I don't use it to sway my vote much, however if we had a prolific first two weeks, I'd move to B+

You love to see it. We have quite a few in Westfield

I'm not a big caffeine guy, but man.. extra sleep and it feels worse than nap hangover. Probably woke up in a different phase of sleep. I've heard of the headache when quitting caffeine. Have you had a chance to test the BP? Funny how some are effected by it. Me, if I wanted could pound a pot of coffee and fall asleep an hour later

We talk about weathers fraud 5... how about life's? Go to bed early so you can feel extra refreshed in the morning... and wake up feeling like shit. Seems to happen every time! Where's the caffeine!?

I learnfrom my vacation tech friend that many forced air systems are installed totally wrong. We spent a day adding returns, and a supply. Made all the difference... and so did removing any air intrusion into the basement and insulating rim joist are and walls above grade. Made a huge difference, and we see it in our gas/electric bills. I think mini splits are cool... but there's no way I'll have one of those indoor units on the walls of multiple rooms

Funny, I wouldn't trade our forced air system for anything. I can't stand modern baseboard units, and any that actually don't look shit are $$$$$. Grated we did have someone come in and make some adjustments to the system when we purchased... many contractors are HACS and don't have the slightest knowledge how to properly balance a system. Also, having both heat and A/C in the same system is awesome

No, I believe East Granby is different from the airport. I remember this coming up a long time ago. I don't exactly remember where, but believe it was near one of the schools. It's also kind of unfortunate that BDL is used for official measurements as it is regularly/generally the lowest accumulation for the area in any given average winter system... many times by many inches

Same here. Also had moderate white rain from Westfield through Granby

My gut was right... 1 to 3 flakes here earlier. Nothing for the last couple hours

Yeah, winds picked up here something fierce. Temp and dews dropping now as well. Quite the difference from an hour ago

For sure. Just for some reason my gut doesn't feel this one. But, I still don't think we're completely done

For sure. We were regretting not having the screens in the bedroom windows yet. If the A/C was installed I would have turned it on!

Had 54 in Westfield at 5 A.M. It's 55 in Simsbury now

I still don't see a coating lol. Maybe, but it's still super warm this A.M. and ground is quite warm now

Has it, I guess. Do I buy it, absolutely not. The setup and the fact of how warm the ground has become already... surprisingly actually. Been outside the last two afternoons walking the yard in bare feet and couldn't feel the slightest chill in the ground. Well, except walking across a small section of corn kernel old snow to pick up FREAKING nip bottles. That's an interesting sensation

1 to 3... flakes that actually stick, in the Berkshires

55 in Simsbury, with minor dews
