Hitman Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Snowed here at some point during the football game. Solid dusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hey I'll take this, it's been beautiful all night. Twinkly, slowly accumulating snow falling slowly then enhanced towards the end with bigger flakes taking their time getting to the ground. Now, the bright moon is flickering through windows in the fast moving clouds making the air sparkle for a moment at a time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 And now it's flurrying and backlit by a low angle sun against a dark grey cloud backdrop. It's all crystally and sparkly 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 0.3 inches yesterday Took my one year old grandson sledding on it. Other than the dustings of the last several days my 200 pounds didn't sink a tenth of an inch on the current snow pack. Great sledding snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 As much as I'd love a significant snowfall this weekend, I must lament that it would probably put an end to ice season after maybe 10 good days of skating/fishing/ice yachting. It's hard to envision getting cold enough for long enough after the progged warm-up in early Feb and beyond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 If you aren't participating in a Dry January perhaps this crew should drink Labatt Blue week? Maybe Molson? Except, of course, @Juliancolton...that Canadian run would cover the ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I cannot abide is that Euro solution with its 5-9" of sand that ruins the ice as well as our futility bid, while burying Boston under feet and feet. Then again, avoiding English beer shouldn't be too much of an imposition... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have my KU book in front of me, but I have to assume the benchmark was their conception made through the lens of the I-95 corridor. I remember when I got the book as a kid, I was almost angry that some of the HV's biggest snowstorms were profiled in the afterthought "interior/near misses" section all the way in the back. lol Tuck the low until I'm sweating the mixing line. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Why am I already getting the feeling this supposed beast will be a no show again by tomorrow morning. Is it paranoia, or just preparing myself for the let down which odds favor? I swear if SNE gets buried by this and we're flurrying under filtered sunshine Saturday I'm done. No more heartache, I shouldn't be affected by winter weather to this degree. I was sure I was going to outgrow it by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I got a bad feeling too for our neck of the woods. 1-2 inches here with 15-20 inches 50 miles east of here. Let's hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Last night a bad night for our sub forum. All hope not lost but hanging by a thread. Just not our storm. Really never was consistently and doubting that changes. Tonight runs should be telling. Bronx warned us. Wish I listened before I got emotionally involved. Filing for divorce from this storm, whatever the hell stupid name they give it, tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not our winter, especially here just East of the Hudson. Still have only 10 inches for the season so far. Unless things radically reverse, shades are down.

crossbowftw3 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 What an utterly bizarre winter thus far, where DC has already done so, and NYC + Boston may soon join them in doubling us up with total snowfall for the season. Seasonal total here is just barely over a foot and for comparison sake, last year by this time that total was over 20” with the February 1st big boy just beginning to come into the fold… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
