Maine (Deboullie - one of my favorite places.) He'd taken the bird about 6 weeks earlier, cooked and froze one breast. It maybe was a wee bit chewier, but tasted like - turkey. No gamey flavor at all and the texture was actually fine. There's a turkey farm near home - field-raised birds - and they charge 3-4 times what one pays at the supermarket. We've eaten a couple, and while they're quite good, they're not 3-4 times as good. First cooing from mourning doves this AM. Still 30" atop the garden - this dry air not melting much even at 40°. Morn low about 5; last single-digit low of the season? No, There good but not that good, It could be the last single digit one, I did not get that low here, 12°F, I'm thinking that may even be the last of low teens.

That seems so far away... can't wait, ha. This afternoon was perfect and got home at 5pm to take the dog for a walk....man it'll be nice to walk without post-holing out to the Rec Path. The snow does not seem to be melting much these days, which is either good that it's going so slow its hard to notice or bad because we are going to get a climax flood event at some point.

powderfreak Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 This is awesome from NWS out in Reno... sounds like fun. Love that they are even mentioning ski area impacts. I think I've seen BTV list that once before when we had some convective graupel storm that was triggering lightning in the spring. I doubt that is in the drop down box for impacts though in the NWS database, ha.

Consider delaying travel over Sierra passes until this band of heavy snow moves off, likely after 4 or 5 PM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some parts of Donner Pass and the Sierra Nevada's are probably nearing 700''+...since the start of February. I have to do stuff for Donner Pass and it's been fun. CALTRANS does an incredible job with the clean-up too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice to see. I’ll take a big late season event, but aside from that I’m ready for nice weather and signs of life. I know Mitch wants a nuclear wasteland all year, but with kids now...it’s great to send them out and enjoy the nice weather. Things are still muddy though. A few patches still left in protected spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds about right. High-end snowpack in the hills. Hopefully it goes slowly. The river through Stowe still has ice and snow on it except for the main channel.

I am thinking of getting an automatic starter for next winter. Luckily it was not a thick frost and it scrapped off relatively easy. There is also this spray stuff I want to get which I hear works well at preventing frost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
