that funnel hit my brothers brother in laws house, and wrecked his next door neighbors.

Wheres the LOVE button.... (I may need to rephrase that question )

Dont think my fascination isnt there. It sure is, but the fury is a sobering thing. Your last statement is so true bud. We had straight line wind come through 2 years ago and i helped a family friend whose developement was raked by it. We cut 7 LARGE trees that came down and seeing the destruction in that neighborhood and watching families try to rebuild their lives is just not easy to see. Some homes became inhabitable because of insurance not helping etc...... Only good was seeing the community come together and when three young ladies/girls came around with baskets of food to feed us responding to aid....well it just chokes you up. Sorry to derail the thread. Back to the chase.

I'm liking part 2 of your statement. First part....natsomuch. Mostly dodged here in Ephrata, but all around us got into it. Re batten down da hatches gang. 2 more days....boo. I hate the destruction. I'm a weather geek like the rest of yas, but its why i cant like this stuff and root for it to happen. Too much pain/loss/cost for too many. My snow just pisses many off....I'm cool w/ dat. Stay safe all.

webbed feet here

NE New Mexico. Arid summers and still gets snow.

its just crazy how we have had such a long stretch of wet/ cold for the past 2 years.

not lying, had parents over for dinner and we turned the heat on...... dont tell anyone though....dont want to lose my status as the ultimate snow/cold weenie. hope all is well with y'all.

every week we get away from sustained heat/humidity is a win IMO.

yeah, next week looks like first whack at summer heat and humidity....with all of the moisture in the air....just cant wait for first sack stickage.... was hoping for a little true spring, but thats not how we roll round here. bummer

I'll see that and raise you 30..... Very nice day. THATS my kind of summer. Now i need to move about 250 miles due N to get my wish.

thanks man. Yeah, it is quite impressive. Total hip....less than 1 hour doc was chatting w/ me and happy w/ how things went. 8 hours after surgery, she walked at 9pm and would have been sooner, but fought nausea. Science while expensive, is impressive. Hoping #2 goes as well. Nut

Wife's hip replacement #1 was last Wed, so had to stay home this weekend. Assuming she continues to improve, I'll be heading up this coming weekend. Did look at the snow cams yesterday and saw that we had snow in a couple places. Typical see-saw of spring. What little i've looked, looks WET this week. Man i hope we arent headed for a repeat of last year. Happy Spring all.

see updated post. i added link right after i posted for that very reason. here it is again. http://www.swedenhillsnocam.com/

if only it were february.

actually they did pretty well from what little I've been following. http://www.swedenhillsnocam.com/

Well guys, it's that time. Spring is gonna be springin this week, so I'm checking out for a while. As always I'll stop in once in a while, but I've got a full plate this spring, and I'm already running behind, so I hope y'all have a great spring/summer and I look forward to coming back in the fall. While winter was more normalish for the N/W, we struggled in my hood, and what we got didnt stay around long, except for a few weeks back when we had our 1 week winter in the LSV. Couple dud winters in a row for me. Here's to next year....or the one after that. I'll be here. Nut

I can recall some varied reports on snow totals around KMDT. Wonder if that is what we are seeing? Or maybe someone is a trained spotter, and the other wears snow goggles.

Yeah there is, but i can tell you first hand that what you see in the higher totals is upslope on the western side of the Apps. I've attached a google snapshot of my location, and I assure you, i did my homework before i purchased, and part of my reason was location location location....for snow. Its like a microclimate on the mountain. Shin Hollow Rd - Google Maps.html

Some of us need more "padding" than others...... As I live right between the 222 sign and the 23" total, you can extrapolate at will as to why this has been a tough winter for me. Cashtown....you suck.

Its like you hold the steering wheel to my brain.............

right where we want it at this juncture......hehe I'd take that for a sayonara to winter.

Cleaning out parents.... been there done that. They moved 3 times in the last 12 years and my dad is a packrat. I feel your pain. After last purge, they moved to an adult community nearby, and he rents 3 sheds in addition to the 1 on his property....for his "stuff". They are all full to the brim. Good luck w/ your purge. I sure hope best accums stay well east. But it is what it is, and it wont be terrible to be working in the snow. Just have a bunch of guys coming up to help, so it may be a bit messy. Worse things to worry about for sure.

You can disagree all you want....thats why its a discussion forum. No worries. I don't offend easily, especially when someone gives sound reasoning as to why i may be 22.1 degrees off my rocker....

thats what i was saying earlier this week. Looks like its happening, just NE of where we were seeing a few days back. That's why I sorta wrote this one off with the exception fo the poconos and pts NE. Plus I'll be up at the cabin trying to do some excavating.....and dont tell anyone in here....but I'm sorta hoping it doesn't happen (words I've never typed before ).
