27f with exceedingly light snow falling. I’d love a real snowstorm as much as anyone, but have to be thankfull for what we got. Solid albeit shallow snow cover for a week. Look and feel of winter. Should last until Wednesday. Beats last season.
A disappointing 5” at 7:30 am in Jewett. Snowed pretty good most of the morning. 2-3” on the car when I got back to it. Must’ve been just too far north.
and 4” here at the homestead. Nice wintery look for a couple of days.
I read the storm threads from SNE. At least those guys talk about the forecast somewhat. The comment to the effect who cares about north of 287 is just idiotic.
a gtg is long overdue. maybe we can do a sacrifice to ullr to bring back winter.
fwiw-saw the boys in the boat movie in which poughkeepsie plays a prominent role. highly recommend. good movie although the book is much better.
I can’t remember when things happened especially pre pandemic. That part of my brain is all mixed up. We had a 3 foot snow in croton sometime in the early 2000s but I can’t recall precisely what year. Pretty sure it was a school holiday week because the wife took the kids up to her parents and i was alone and trapped for a few days.
on to todays shit show. Nws upped the forecast to 3-5”. Great. It’s the latter part of December and not even a hint of a chance this could be anything close to frozen. Gutters are all clear. Attempted to address persistent small chimney leak so this will be a good test.
