However.....rain did occur early on this morning out here on the Cape......I'm in Brewster tonight.....thing was after about 9:00am it changed to snow and came heavy.....rates were awesome but it was very pasty so it compacted quickly.....dual pol indicated mix line was held at bay right along the southern Cape coast line.....really great experience being out here for a winter storm that delivered snow.....
I may be an inch high....I didn’t measure but in Brewster it only rained in the morning and then we flirted with the mix line all day but it never stopped snowing and it snowed hard from like 9:00 to 1:00 or so.....and it’s been mood snow the rest of the day....Harwich a little closer to the mix being on the south side that cut down total.....was fun to get opportunity to be on cape in a snow storm
It’s been great here in Brewster!!!! Pounding snow since like 8:30.....was rain initially and then we’ve been right on the snow side of mix line.....was giving all the hockey parents a lesson on dual pol lol
6” or so of pasty paste.....rates have been awesome but it’s paste so it’s compacting real good.....if it was higher ratios we’d have a foot probably....yay Cape!!! I feel honored.....in this season of shit
It does seem as though that bright band running Philly NE under NYC has hit a wall though.....its not advancing.....banding signature it looks to me with that screw zone on the northern side.....is this the thing hitting the wall?
So Cape special? When my fanny is actually firmly parked on the elbow in Brewster......wheeeeeee!!!!! I am looking at current radar and man if I hadn't read in here I'd think a foot is on the way......that doesn't look half bad unless it just hits a wall and scoots due east.......I'm sure something will happen and I'll get porked like every other god damn POS storm this season.....lol
ahahahahahaha......we're here in Brewster for sons hockey tournament in Orleans......jesus christ if 24" comes.....tourney cancel lolz......we should park it at some bar near us and talk snow....lol
Oh boy.....figures our cape trip this weekend features a Cape Cod classic as this shitty shitty season of shit comes to a close......me and James gonna hole up at some random Pleasant Lake bar while the Cape showcases its wintery fury......how great would that be to end the Season of Yore? lol
We're here at Oceans Edge in Brewster tonight through Sunday for sons hockey tournament......2 games tomorrow and 1 game on Saturday......at Charles Moore in Orleans......I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh coating of powder out here when we arrived tonight......come on James.....this is the Capes chance to shine!!!!
It's high stakes cuz they don't happen very often even if you are willing to go to where the next one happens.....like I almost gave in and just stuck with my original target in NE.....but I just couldn't after all the planning and work....I knew it would be a marathon....and it was worth every bit.....
No question....would be awful....but going to Chile and it being overcast would suck too....seems it could be difficult to divert down there.....also not sure about infrastructure necessary to even monitor that type of thing....I mean in Nebraska and Missouri I could look at visible sat and radar in seconds....and decide very quickly where to go....
I mean if you compared the cost to get to Chile and accommodations and transport - maybe pay to be in a tour group - and then add two weeks and turn it into a vacation.....it's probably a wash....give or take
