I mean, seeing the deep south get buried and frozen, would be kind of awesome.

Oh yea Ray will go wild and blog about it. 

Right.
I've already seen it in disaster movies.  I don't need it in real life.

Low of 4F here in E CT; nice 2 day stretch to help freezing lakes and ponds

Except my lake.  Nice and cold for a a few days, but the constant wind, and waves in the water have prevented any widespread freezing.  Only in the shallow, and sheltered cove areas.  ...But this is the same routine most years.  The perpetual, never ending, bone chilling breeze that exists here prevents the freezing most of the time.  There really needs to be a few periods of still water combined with the freeze for it to happen

This drone s*** is getting out of hand. Should I walk towards the light?

Drone freak-outs don't give humanity much hope in accepting the flying car that most of us have grown up seeing as the future on the cover of Popular Mechanics magazine in the 1980's/ 90's, and even back into the 50's.  

Imagine a world like depicted in movies, Back To The Future 2, or The 5th Element?  People will lose their minds on a daily basis.

Nothing but open lake in front of me to my north and west.  Deck chairs through the window.

Where the heck do you live Ray?  You live but 50 minutes from me, and I’ve seen 31” of Snow Total, in 2 FULL SEASONS.

I haven’t seen Even a 10” snowstorm since January 2022!!  Almost 3 Years!  

 

If I don’t see an ACTUAL full on 20” Storm this year I’m going to Absolutely go F-ing Ape S***.  And of course like every year, I’ll be in LA January 19-February 4th for NAMM & Grammys.  So you might as well book a storm somewhere inside of that time frame.

I don’t think pure dooming is any better fwiw. There’s legit disagreement around the week of Xmas. 

When I look at that map that Luke posted, I see much orange and red, translating into 1-4 degrees above normal? ...But it's not like we're seeing the doomish high or even middle end of the scale. I'm sure that I'm over simplifying the imagery from 300+ hours out, but it doesn't seem panic worthy.

Congrats everyone 

Still looking at wet pavements down here. Another storm where we get skunked. 

Yes..."another". Tally it up with the barrage of snow we've had so far this season.

That is a lame tree 

Right. That tree had its chance to shine and be part of true damage in Tolland but it blew it's shot.  Now it's just another limb that fell that no one heard.

Better luck next time...

Zero credit for faux damage. 

Woke up at 5:30 to 2"+, and still snowing pretty good. The ride to work was not great.  50 minute ride took about 90 minutes.  Up and down routes 101 and 44 from Killingly...Pomfret...Eastford...Ashford...Mansfield...Coventry...Bolton...into Manchester the snow ranged from 2"-4"+.  Here at work in Manchester seems to have the least, but it is snowing good.

 Big...Wet.Azz.Flakes.

Temp on the Davis is showing 36F

Currently, high 30s and Mid Atlantic type cold rain.

The irony is, You’ve been doing the most ripping. Talking about frozen crab grass cuz a poster said they like how deep the trough was.  Don’t give me your crap Luke. You’re a stir the pot Nellie..period! 

I vote we keep crab grass frozen all season long!

The annual Jerry-Fest @weathafella on the Monday before Christmas at Clarke's (or alternative in that area due to the place closing at 8pm last year) works better for me due to my continued weekend situation with my mother, but if the date works for me on a Saturday in Worcester or where ever I will be there.

Gee… I can remember a couple of December snow storms of late. 12/3/19, 12/17/20  were  pretty nice ones here. 

Hopefully, There's snow on the ground for Snodeo weekend in Old Forge
 

Snowblower still getting fixed and tuned up.  Probably won't need it again this year, but, just in case I get a rogue high output snowstorm (High output for my area is 8"-10") it will be ready.

Jinxy

Nah.  I can't do much worse than the last 2 seasons. (15" total this past season, and maybe 12" total the season before).  My jinx is not anyone else's.

80 Helloween 

This will allow a return southwest flow of much milder air back
into the region Wed and especially by Thu. The EPS/GEFS anomalous
upper level ridging setting up across the mid-Atlantic coast.
Southwest flow should allow highs to probably reach back into the
70s by Wed and perhaps taking a run at 80 by Thu. Still quite a ways
out...but certainly may challenge a few record highs given strong
support from the EPS/GEFS guidance.

...My snow thrower, White Out turns 26 years old this season, and is coming out of hibernation. She's seen some epic snow storms and great winters, but as of late some epic duds.  

She's is heading out for a tune up and some repairs. Hopefully winter feeds her well this year.

55 here at work. When I left this am (around 530) it was in the 40s.

Wow. That’s the worst one yet. I was going to head down to take pics but I’ll adhere to the FFE.

I spoke to my mom. She is high enough to not be affected, but I will be checking her basement.
