Haven't had a great winter here since the 09-10 record breaker. Off to a good start so far. Maybe this is the one. 300 hours out. Go GFS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE WORKS ONE FRIGGIN’ DAY A YEAR!! He has to "manage" the elves who are making all the toys all year and then train all the up and coming "Rudolphs" so they can light the way for the next generation. As a quick obs - The high just tapped 30 here (low was 19) and then dropped down to ~23 late this afternoon but is now on the rise again and is currently 25. The dp had dropped down to as low as 9 but has actually gone up and is now 16. There have been a few puffs of breeze but otherwise, with a clear sky, fresh snowpack, and not much wind, will see how it responds overnight or continues the non-diurnal rise.

The NYC forum has a few. I remember asking you years ago about it and you responded that being a truck driver you don’t care for snow. I get it…stay safe!

I feel good that we can score at least once over the next 3 weeks. Im saying let's hope we aren't looking back in 3 weeks saying damn, the early Jan so-so pattern produced but the epic unicorn pattern just teased us. That would be a true kick in the junk. Still looking hard at the period centered around the 17th.....I haven't changed on that in 10 days lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 4.2 inches of fluffy snow has vanished today, with just some piles left from plowing and shoveling.

Should be some left though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp is STILL going up and I am now at 40 (low was at midnight @25). Still getting some light rain although the back edge of that is getting close.

Ahh yes... And those times were very rare. We were a couple doors down from a lightly trafficked residential 1-way intersecting street that was on a hill and was perfect for the Radio Flyers when there were those rare times the street had a glacial ice base under some newly fallen snow. The only drawback was if there were huge plowed mounds at the bottom from the plow trucks that you slammed into if you didn't leap off in time.

Tsunan Japan is the place to be to measure in feet When you are sledding on an ice-rutted street with potholes, the rails are the best way to do it because they won't get shredded like a tube. Tubes would be good on steep grassy slopes that are packed with snow or are useful going down piles of steps (they do that down at the Art Museum on those front entrance "Rocky steps"). Still there's nothing like an old-fashioned wooden sled with a rope to hang onto and (try to) steer the thing with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Temps and dps have slowly dropped overnight and I finally went below 32 not along after 4 am. Ended up with a final high of 40 after 8:15 last night). About 95% of the snowpack is gone save for a few patches here and there (particularly in the north-facing areas) and from some depleted mounds of plowed snow. Currently clear and 31 with dp down to 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dseagull Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Hovering at 32.8 on Barnegat Bay. Front yard still has a sad layer of 1-2 inches, but this was the snow pack that just couldn't hold on. If you have a crazy hunting dog, the snow is a wonderful thing if you want a clean dog and house. If you have mud instead of snow, life is miserable trying to keep things clean. Bring the freeze on!
