WinterWolf Posted December 16 Share Posted December 16 50 minutes ago, Patrick-02540 said: This morning at 6am I hit exactly 10" for the season (6" alone from that over-performing clipper 10 days ago). The long-term average for this area is 9.6 to 10.4" for December, depending on what data source you look at. Now I feel the essential numbness that arises with climate equilibrium. Hasn’t been a bad December for us inland CT folks this go around. A lot of us are firmly on the board, and for guys like you, you’re at 100% of normal December snowfall. Again, can’t complain. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below normal temps, and some are at 60-70% of normal snowfall for December, and others are at 100% of normal for December, at the half way point. So certainly much better than last December here. You need to move back to Tahoe bro. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pedestrian - December’s seemed to be better when we first moved here in 2004….then total skunk job last decade or so….definitely want to end up back in Tahoe where 500+ is a bone job lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted December 17 Share Posted December 17 31F Freezing drizzle and freezing rain. From what I hear driving is extremely dangerous in Central NH. It has been in the 20s all day with a bit of snow earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdxken Posted December 17 Share Posted December 17 Okay, I've poo pooed the entire drone thing. But ...I caught this on my game camera last night.

Typhoon Tip Posted December 17 Share Posted December 17 8 hours ago, weatherwiz said: Does anyone else feel in a weird spot between time moving faster but also slower? October absolutely flew by as did November...but it seemed like time slowed a bit towards the end of November. It seems like December is going by quickly...but slowly at the same time. Not sure if the weather is factoring into that at all but think about this... We have not even officially hit winter yet and it feels like winter has sucked lmao. I mean...it's only freaking mid-December lol. It's like there is so much investment in OP runs looking at storms that pop up at 240+ hours that after like a month of being into the cool season, it's nothing but mental exhaustion. Reading some of the posts over the last week or two...you would think we're in like mid-February or late February and haven't had anything...it's only mid-December and we just hit that point. I gotta stop doing that too and breathe and realize its only mid-December. all the wormhole portals by the alien sentinel drones opening and closing is causing temporal ripple effect in the local space. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
