ChrisM Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I don't think I would take 70 inches to move to Storrs, CT. Storrs is a nice college town. Boston is perhaps America's biggest college town. I'm pretty sure you don't average a 2 footer every other year. You'd be mean to shove rain down my throat after our suffering while you were cashing in..,,lol. I'm referring to where I live at home. I've gotten 6 20"+ snowstorms in the last 10 years.

Ginx snewx Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 It does. Lights downtown, skating on the common sometimes in a winter wonderland, wonderful places to eat and drink, I'd rather live with 2 inches of snow and 3 fast food joints within 10 miles. Have you ever lived in an area where the stars shine without city lights, where the snowy nights are so quiet you can hear the flakes landing, where on cold crisp nights you can hear the sap freezing in the trees? Just curious. The hustle and bustle of the city is awesome for the social aspect but I prefer to visit and watch the zoo rather than being a part of it.

N. OF PIKE Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 It's like the jungles of Burma here tonight. Wish the air conditioners were still running. 61 with a dewpoint of 61. grass should be ripe for a mow tomo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need sidewalks so I don't get killed when I go out for a late night walk. I spend lets of time in the woods and enjoy rural areas immensely. For now, my lifestyle is suited best for the city.

I totally understand why some prefer to be there. I would die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 weatherfella i'm not the best with quotes but here is one that i was referring to in my post, about "tough to get snow near the coast" Regardless of what happens there's not much of a signal for cold. We can hope enough anomalous ridging to our north can suppress the storm track some but with a pretty lame cold source it may prove difficult to get snow in the coastal plain. As has been mentioned it doesn't look like much of a "gradient" pattern either. We will have to watch for some transient ridging to our northeast to help us out - that's why I'm still interested in this pattern I could also see 1 to 2 wintry threats with some luck (first may be next weekend). For the cold and snow depth fetish people, unfortunately, I do expect the rest of the month to average above normal temperature wise. One word of caution as well. If the MJO remains stout and starts rounding the circle post Christmas and especially post-New Years we're going to enter into some really toasty phases. May have a period of furnace weather to deal with. Glad you agree and it wasn't me just ring overtired and seeing things lol. Like you, I am referring to region wide and it may be difficult for people like me on the coast, but I think this can produce for the interior, and even here if we can get a good high in place. Personally, I'm just glad to see coastal storms modeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newport, RI is loaded with them. I have seen them in my yard, and hear them all the time. Had a big bear 10 feet from my front steps on a June, Sunday afternoon a few years ago...yikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian5671 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 yep, sucks living on the coast around Christmas time huh? how's the snowpack up there? lol-in this warm of a pattern, it doesnt really matter where you live.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Heavy amounts of win in this post. I concede neither! I have those stars in my front yard now but I lived in center city Philly for 20 years and loved every bit of the vibe the energy the restaurants the people. I refuse to choose. One of the truly best moments of my life was walking my dog on no leash in the middle of the city through 31 inches of fresh snow with a bright moon and stars (early January 1996). Streets closed no cars except the ones abandoned. Another great moment was most of the winter of 08-09 with feet of snow that never got dirty and the most fantastic snow days by a warm fire and Jebwalks every few hours. Eventually we will have a condo in Boston as a second home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 The irony is I've seen coyote 50 yards from my door. Go figure. we had to shoot a 3 legged coyote years ago which was starving to death and coming way too close to kids. Poor thing looked like a skeleton. DEM took him and tested for rabies. Thankfully negative. We are installing coyote rollers on the fences in the spring. I hear the pups howling a lot. But nothing is more scary than the howl of a Fisher Cat, sounds like a demon baby.

CoastalWx Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 not really, just echoing what scott and ryan said earlier about the period. "tough to get snow near the coast" but like will mentioned if we get a nice high over quebec we could luck out. I said it makes it tougher for the coast. If there is a high in the right place or the storm is far enough south, then it could be snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 What is a coyote roller? Think of it as an unexpected treadmill for coyotes. Its an extension to the top of your fence that spins, when they try to jump over they cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
