    Not expecting much more here as the radar presentation continues to implode. There isn't much hope of the mashed potatoes staying put until sunrise sadly.

    2.2" currently with some flurries. Too bad precip isn't more uniform with this system. Snow growth has been really good at times.

    You can walk right into MA from Dutchess on the South Taconic Trail. We even have a slice of the NY-MA-CT tri-point marker in the col between Brace and Frissell.

    Now 32.2F. A few remaining isolated slick patches underfoot, otherwise no problems. (While I have no delusions that my PWS is sensitive or precise enough to reliably track temperature to tenths of a degree, the jump above 32 did seem to correspond to the end of ice accretion.)

    Really lousy wx tonight, doesn't get much worse. I was looking through old pics from this week in previous years and there was almost always at least some ice on the river. On 1/1/18 I was able to walk to Goose Island up in Red Hook, a couple hundred yards from the shore. Even the small lakes are mostly or completely open this year, which you wouldn't expect from the rather modest warm anomalies compared to some recent Decembers. At least it should look wintry again by Monday morning.

    31.5F with steady light rain in central Dutchess. A very tenuous glaze on elevated surfaces, but water is mostly running off.

    There would be murders.

    Worse than that, they're tantamount to sacrilege. Snow should be shaped into tidy piles with all due reverence, not mutilated and strewn back into the wind.

    That's a potent system there. Warm, though, even far up the Hudson Valley. Also worth noting that the total snowfall map includes accumulations from Saturday's event north of I-90 or so.

    I haven't been to Tivoli in forever. It's in this weird spatial anomaly up there that defies logic and reason. How can something 20 minutes north of Rhinebeck still be in Dutchess County? Does anyone live there? Is that a hobo or just a Bard student? So many questions.

    No shame in buying medicated shampoo

    We flake
  13. Juliancolton
    That LE streamer to my north is fading fast. Maybe I'll see some flakes still.

    I'd love to keep prepping gardens and installing fences in thawed ground right through the winter, but I'd also love to go skating and ice fishing. Let me know what you guys decide on so I can proceed accordingly, TIA.

    I dunno, man. Judah Cohen seems excited about the SSW, and when did he ever lead us astray?
  16. Juliancolton
    Just missed the death band by a handful of miles and ended up with around 9". Getting stranded at the verge of greatness irritates me more than the clean misses like Jan 15/Jan 16. Synoptically and wind-ically, that was a really special system and it may be a very long time before something rises to that level again.

    10 years of hating Boxing Day, where does the time go?
  18. Juliancolton
    Power didn't stay out too long, despite Isaias flashbacks. Maybe 4-5 hours? It's graupling here but if you squint really hard and believe in the magic of the season, it looks like beautiful dendrites.
  19. Juliancolton
    Lol, it can't even handle my indoor tree when the necessities are running.
  20. Juliancolton
    I lied. Power's gone and so is my Christmas spirit. Time to fire up the 9,000-watt white noise machine.

    Your chance at redemption looms:

    Merry Christmas one and all. With 30k CenHud outages, including most of my neighborhood, feel very fortunate to still have power. I definitely have a sinking feeling for friends and neighbors spending Christmas morning in the dark, as well as for all the emergency responders I've seen driving up and down the street. It's just rotten in a way that only 2020 could have delivered. 2.39" so far, 61F high, 30 mph peak gust (a station record, probably translates to upper 40s or low 50s in reality).
  23. Juliancolton
    So much for that. At least it sets the tone for the rest of the week's weather.
  24. Juliancolton
    We should clear out in time to see it this evening. They'll only be imperceptibly farther apart than they were at official conjunction yesterday.

    There's a Venus–Jupiter mutual occultation coming up relatively soon... 2060s I think? But it's only going to be a few degrees from the sun and so either invisible or extremely difficult to see. That said, backyard astronomers are already doing insane work amplifying faint data from daytime and twilight imagery, to speak nothing of where astrophotography is going to be in several more decades.
