I'd have to agree here also, depends on if you're a snow pack or snow accumulation type person, plus the festive nature and all... also, I'll continue to live vicariously through the forum here as I've been a member since the eastern days, although I've never met anyone here in person, almost like I know you all as some weather family, which I mostly check in during winter, funny how that goes

somewhere between lafayette and ball ground, depending on what I can find for land, but that seems to be the sweet spot for commute, community, etc. plant is in kennesaw another in acworth, so about an hour north of there is far enough, yeah some really nice area N Georgia, especially near the mountains

yeah, San Diego was what I was referring to as same daily forecast, but I've been keeping my eyes on the weather in the areas I've been looking to plant flag, and it's been as low as cold as mid 30s, and that I was told is about as cold as it gets, minus the occasional freak artic blast to the gulf, but, next week will tickle 70, so I'm sure you can probably grow palm there if protected when it does get that cold... I'm looking forward to severe season for sure though there.

don't think I can handle the same forecast every day of the year, and from what I've looked into winter lasts about 6 hours there, one good thing is the growing season is longer, so there's that, me being the only one of my family who actually enjoys deep winter, will take some adjustments, but getting away from the northeast for other reasons outweigh the weather aspect... plus, there's other weather events there and visits are always going to happen... anyway wishes for a white christmas, seems a while since one, fresh one anyway.

95-96 seemed to have a lot of those that broke just right it seems, what we'd give for another season like that, considering this may well be my last winter in NE, took a job in N Georgia, so, won't be seeing much snow there I'd reckon

anyone remember the year, early 2000's, where we had a similar storm as what we are currently looking at, very tight gradient of frozen to sleet then rain, I wanna say 01, but I'm sure someone on here has that analog in memory, believe there was even thunder snow in that one as well. would be nice to at least wake up to snow on Xmas morning for the kids anyway, most promising look I've seen so far, hope it doesn't get suppressed to far south

I'm just fine with dry and warm and cold and wintry, rather than warm and rain and cold and dry, unless we're going for snowpack records, in which case I'm all for prolonged cold, but prolonged cold leads to high heat bills so I'm good with that too... anyway prognosis looking more favorable for next week it seems...

so, looking like we'll be relocating to North Georgia in the near future, gonna definitely miss the winter here, but as far as boring weather goes, minus the cane and tropical season, florida has some of the most boring predictable weather I've seen outside of San Diego, one can set a watch by it.

kinda bummed I missed the first measurable... but it was 85 today so there's that...work not vacation makes it less enjoyable tho

while I'm down in WPB for work wife says 2" otg back home, nice little backend bonus, stat padder

damn! still a ton with just half, the race to get them picked up and bagged before snow cover them until spring... this past spring I had a pile we never got to and it had frozen into 3" of leaf mush, again I'd rather burn or let them compost but we live to close to others so not an option

just did second round of blowing and raking, first 12 bags done, usually get around 30-35 bags to the dump, wish we had a place to just shuffle them to rot, but gotta pick em up, have one maple still hangin tough...hard this year with chicken coop and pen where I used to blow everything, they weren't a fan of the blower...

yeah, gonna stick with the ariens 8/24... they've done us good for over 2 decades with this one and previous one lasted since before and through 78...may be able to salvage mine just haven't had time to get into it yet

good skid steer! was looking at a new ariens for this season, mine is over 20, but drive spring is broke and getting at it is a bitch, and my dad's is even older and not zero turn so it's a workout using it... not totally opposed to shoveling tho, except when it's a dumpage! the cub cadet looks nice too, ain't looking to spend over a grand tho.

,4" and some decent lightening and thunder, now watching the clouds roar by as the temp is dropping.. currently 45, down from 56 high earlier...real nice pink sprite like lightening color too... looks like maybe above 1k gets some cat paws soon...

2.16" final here, early afternoon was tropical storm like, pouring rain and pounding leaves...nice piece to watch thanksgiving week eh?

most oaks we have keep half until they start to bud and leaf out in spring, why can't they comply like the rest and just drop already.. damn, that's crazy... when I was in Waterbury I used to blow them to the curb and the car wind would take most away... here we have to bag and bring to dump, they don't offer service for it, kids enjoy the piles tho.

yeah I argue with my dad every year about this, why do it 5 times when you can do it once and be done...we consistently get 30-32 bags, and that's with a quarter I save mulched for the compost...

I was going to say the same, at least for the NW hills avg, I had gone back from 28-now, at the closest cocorah station data shows we're avg over 80 here, and that lines up with what I've been averaging since moving here.

so who's got the prize for top gust thusfar? i saw 64 but didn't scroll through all the pages...btw, got into an argument with someone today when I said noreaster, they said we don't get those until winter...ha, what happened nearly to the day 10 years ago I said??

anyone have to offical most recent obs for NYC? they been ripping all day and night, just deform training

mod to heavy now, gusted over 25 last half hour, 10-15 still sustained, just shy of 2.0"

winds picking up in this squall, just gusted over 25, sustained at 10-15 now, 1.15" so far, was expecting 2-3", see what the next few hours brings.

heavy band incoming, approaching 1.00", still have yet to crack 25mph with a gust, sustained around 10... my barometer is not reading but my knee tells me it's been falling
