    I have friends in Tahoe that have been asked to bring extra clothes when they come to work Friday so they can stay until Monday.

    To tell ya the truth, yes I would rather have a nickel and dime 20" over the 4 shots it took to get me there this year with one of those being a foot. Isn't 10 or so small events preferable to 4? My recollection as a kid in the 70s was winter seemed to last for a while even if it wasn't significant snowfall compared to the recent cool shots between nice days.

    I just said that in another thread. My yard is too soft to do a real walk around but it's a mess with sticks and branches down and all of the tall flowering weeds that I let go are down and broken. Cleanup is gonna take a while this year.

    I had a few minutes of drizzle. I might've seen some wet flakes. It's beautiful out now and the last of my snow is going away. The yard is too soft to walk around but it's a mess.

    I had a dense coating of translucent grey glop near a half inch thick as this moved in. It dumped for a half hour and accumulated well then melted right off.

    Yup they finished it but then it rained before the event and it had to come down.

    I remember waiting for the radar every 10 minutes and comparing it to what I was seeing outside. Heh, I still do that but it started back around 1980.

    Saranac Lake had time to build the ice castle on the lake ice for their winter carnival but the day before the temps torched and it poured rain. They had to pull the castle fown and cancel a bunch of stuff.

    I'm down to 1" on 30% of the property now. Drove past a few freezer hillsides this afternoon where it still looks good but it's just a short matter of time for them too.

    Gonna stop at an organic stuff nursery on Monday and grab some soil. Time to start making food

    ...and there it goes... I got a bit over 3 weeks of snowpack! Blech

    I wish my brain was wired differently and I did nerdy stuff like keep records, or at least informal notes, about stuff like you guys keep weather records. You'd think it would've come to me to do things like that, since I was a kid I used to like reading Thomas Jefferson and others weather accounts from back then but my lazy brain never told me to do it. The other thing that totally gets me is I didn't do more to clear the yard for better light and plant fruit trees when I moved to this property in 1996. Man I'd love to have a mixed assortment now especially considering how expensive good produce has gotten. The hindsight that comes with age is both entertaining and frustrating at the same time as the 'coulda shoulda woulda' thing gets into your head. I think they call it wisdom but I hesitate to attribute that word to me I bet that @rclab has some insight

    If I hadn't just gotten an unexpected foot of fluff with less than .4 liquid I'd be even more pessimistic than I am going forward. Not even hitting 24" two winters in a row is pretty disappointing though. I wish I had a decent way around this stupid warm Pacific but since I don't this pessimism is starting to win and I don't like it. I know, there's a balance and we'll find it soon enough, my worry is that balance means I live at way too low an altitude.

    I know it popped the 50 mark while I was out but my dumb ass forgot to look at the temp on the dashboard. Here on my still snow covered hill it stayed at 45. Yup, still mostly snow covered especially northerly aspects where there's still a few inches but my backyard still has 2-3" too because it's sheltered.
  16. gravitylover
    Wow it doesn't seem possible with how soggy everything has been but yeah, I'm at about .8 for the month and half of that is from last night's glopfest.

    Well, if it's over that burst of crazy heavy snow with huge flakes last night was a reasonable way to end it. On to gardening season

    32/32 and snowing hard with huge flakes. It's funny though how it's so wet it won't accumulate more than this half inch thick layer of goop and it's not really doing any good on the existing snow either. This is the biggest flakes of the year which is nice considering it may be the last.
  19. gravitylover
    Snowing here too.

    Backyard still 100% covered but front yard torched out with the sun this week. It's been cold at night but not really. 20" for the year which is 3" behind last year's total and about the same as the total the year before if I remember right. A far cry from the previous 48+"/yr average. I think for a while up to the early 2000s my total was in the low 40s but it bumped up nicely. Now...

    It was 27:1 across the street from KDXR

    All of these popcorn snow showers and I barely had a few flurries I always like when a bit of fresh whiteness is added to my snowbanks after I'm done shoveling.
  23. gravitylover
    Wow, you're about 13" ahead of me.
  24. gravitylover
    That's a sting jet, right?

    2 1/2" on the previously cleared slate patio and 3" on the board on snow. It stayed cold here right up until the snow wound down but when the blue patches started showing through it jumped 5° real quick. I think that this is as wintry as it's looked around here in a few years. It's kinda nice. I'm at 22.? for the season so not terrible considering we have a good month of potential left but I'm not feeling another ~26" to get to average.
