Cold Miser Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 In case we warm the globe so much this summer where it may never snow again. True. Although last week when it was below normal cold I did hear the,"What a cold winter, so much for global warming" type comments while waiting to pick up my kids. Just another reason to keep the facepalm to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Windcredible! Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 LOL..who has a carnival in March? Peter Marteka @petermarteka 8m Tough opening for Coleman Brothers Carnival in #Middletown. Tons of rain over weekend, now 3 inches of snow. pic.twitter.com/prEqjaZV9m Lived up there for a year when I first moved to CT. Remember driving past wondering what the hell they were doing. But seems they do it every year. Must get some dirt cheap prices on carnival rides/booths this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 1) Are the buses driving up onto lawns,flowerbeds, and driveways to let the kids off..or do the kids get off on the streets? 2)Cars were stuck on gentle inclines all over the tri state this morning 3) The bus companies that own the majority of the towns and cities school buses are located in Kansas and Missouri..and are responsible for contracting repairs, etc.. Kids are let off by the sidewalks, not on the median of I-84. Get a new bus company with those exorbitant taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Not the greatest pic...but this was Rt80 near the East Haven / North Haven line this morning around 10am as snow was winding down. You can see police have the opposite lane blocked off at the bottom of a small hill and were diverting traffic. Probably about 3" of snow otg...2" of ice/slush on the road.

They just did a survey about next year's calendar and 1 version assumes we would only get 2 days of snow days next year. We had 9 last year and 5 this year.

Cold Miser Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Looks fun I lol'd. I know that there are some theme parks in Asia that are open during snowy months. I'm a coaster enthusiast and have seen many videos with folks going on roller coasters in the snow, wearing full winter gear. My son walks 3/4 of a mile from where his bus drops off. My daughter 1/4 mile. No big deal. I used to walk 1.75 miles, but we had sidewalks Up a steep incline, both ways in 3 feet of snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 lol @ emotions running high as we exit March with a bit of snow.lol jokes turned into uncalled for comments,oh how the tables have turned. Meanwhile still dealing with Moms basement, my road reopened as levels dropped. Interesting how just 3+ inches of rain flooded from this type low flow ,took this pic late summer and the flow was similar FridayTo this with just 3+ inches of water,apparently all runoff due to frost in the ground. Seen similar spring qpf have not nearly the effect. Worrys about heavy qpf events in the next 10 days as River levels are very very high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Amy Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Ugh, I made the mistake of driving to work just now. 10 miles --> 55 minutes. Southbound I-91 through Cromwell is a mess: not plowed, compacted ice all over (feels like you're driving over those EZ Pass tollbooth grooves in the roads) and miles of entire lanes unavailable. Traffic level is, of course, badly affected by missing lanes (dead-stopped at times). Side roads have not been touched at all, grooves for the tires but mounds in the middle, puddled water everywhere. Temps are slowly rising through 34/35 so risk of re-freeze is low right now, though forecast to go to the high 20s tonight. It's clear state and local were caught offguard by this storm.
