Epic winter signal continues to beam, part VI

I just find it funny when people who want hundreds and hundreds of inches of snow freak out over some ice. I've been through some significant ice storms in WNY anyway.

No freak out here, I just don't want ice cause it skunks the skiing. I've got a generator so I wouldn't miss a beat. ZR is just a depressing reminder that you almost got beautiful snow.

Where were you in Dec '08? Was very weird... destruction on epic scale in slow motion...

Cool event, but don't want it again (and I was at ground zero for Blizz '78)

Pete to your earlier question about the weekend, I read back through some threads and looked at some AFDs....looks like another storm, not a large one, and some ptype issues but a snowstorm, probably moderate. Unreal....

I kinda got away from the board today...sometimes in storms I spend too much time on here. Went into Concord, played tennis, worked out, shopped, ate...and then rode around a bit in the countryside. What a beautiful scene. Missed all the back and forth in here though...which was fantastic I'm sure. I would've probably just gotten frustrated though as we had terrible snow growth and only got 3.5 inches. You did great though as did many of the other SNE guys.

Can't wait for tomorrow. Gonna open up a good red to help me get sleepy

BTW there was a 6" report from Duxbury in the earlier PNS. I buy it. I was up near there at exit 6-7 when it was .2 miles vis in heavy snow. I was actually just a few miles WSW.

Pine Hills had 3.5" about 10 miles from me I think. 10 miles on the other side Duxbury had more...very banded as you all saw on the radar.

...PLYMOUTH COUNTY...

Wow the reports lined up with radar almost perfect.

GYX is staying aggressive up here, going for 12-18 in the zones. Models seem to have qpf an inch or so so they must be thinking ratios. Man the lead up to this storm was looooong...seems like a while since the GTG and we were looking at this a couple days before that.

Radar is scary good and it is hurrying over here fast

Yeah, I was busy outside in the snow. I love the board and hate the board during the events. Like right now, Messenger is busy posting about the warm RUC, MPM posting about reduced snow totals. All true, and all perfectly legit but sometimes I'd rather just let serendipity play out and see what happens. Love indoor tennis though these days I'm just too consumed with the skiing. Speaking of which, time for me to turn in, early to rise and get the fresh POW. GN.
