Animal Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hour 84 18z gfs. Boy is hard to get decent snow down here it seems..was spoiled in highland lakes. Thought it snow’d more when I lived in the area 14 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I occasionally watch snow on webcams from distant places when times are tough around here.

Good stuff when I need a snow fix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I remember the NOAA weather cube (box) days. RadioShack sold them I believe. When snow was coming I'd hit that button about 15 minutes past the hour for the "current" conditions to see when Harrisburg, Reading, or Philly had a report of snow to see how close it was getting to the Lehigh Valley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were already in a retirement community with Glenn? I would highly advise to pay extra for a bed by a window with a super highly illuminated snow light?

Heisy Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I’m currently saving. Want to start my own painting company and work up in MA. Close to Worcester. Animal, no worries. I’ll bump this come the end of March but I truly think we’ll have above normal snow. it could be worst. You could be me and storm chase and miss out on 40” because you flipped a coin and it landed on tails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House faces due North/South, along with slope of roof, so my east facing bedroom window is underneath the light. Also I have a nice outdoor light at ground level beside a sliding glass door that works well. As long as the light is bright and close by, but not within direct view, you're good.

And if you wanted to catch the first flurry or flurries of a storm, you made sure that something was (just) blocking the actual light. If not, the light was too bright to see those first flakes falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be riding my Huffy under street lights and when I noticed the first flakes begin to trickle down, I flipped out with excitement!

Above my workshop is my home office. Great view of the backyard and farms etc. I installed a stadium light at the crown of the roof. Always get comments through the summer how awesome it is for backyard games. There is always a family member who outs me. It's for watching the snow fall.
