Then I guess we can lock up 8-12" for the Mts.

Not much fun too have mouse sh*t everywhere. Outside fine , in the house not so cool. Your name isn't Willard is it?

Why you don't want mice boarding in your house.

• Food contamination. They eat and contaminate all types of food. Each mouse can contaminate ten times more food than it eats. Mouse urine is considered potentially dangerous if ingested.
• Destruction of property. Mice damage and destroy property.
• Disease carriers. Mice carry serious diseases that may affect both humans and animals - such as typhus fever, trichinosis, plague, infectious jaundice, Salmonella food infections and possible Hantavirus.
• Reproduction. One pair of mice and their offspring can reproduce up to 200 mice in four months.

We've had big time problems with mice here. They get in the kitchen drawers and sh*t on all the silverware. Disgusting.

We get the lil buggers in our grill in the fall.

I clean it out, shoo them away, then put it on high for 10 min or so to cook off any issues...

They get the message each year.

I think one is in our garage, too.

Capture them humanely. Snowman will give them a warm bed at night.

Snow

Snow

Heavy.

19th?

[HIPPYVALLEY]

34/28 DP has actually gone up.

Nice night to have the fireplace cranking. Come the nights of low 20's or below it's no longer efficient.

Lol, that's the thing, my mom captures some of them humanely then they get released back outside. Then of course they just come right back in and you're stick in a never-ending cycle of mouse poop.

Your avatar cracks me up.

Anyway, cats FTW here. I get "presents" delivered on a regular basis.

Have you tried finding their point of entry?

[H2Otown_WX]

Have you tried finding their point of entry?

Well, we have looked for their "points" of entry. I mean they're everywhere. The attic, the basement, the garage, they've made little holes in certain places in the kitchen, so it's difficult to seal off every little space where they're getting in.

[WeatherX]

You seem to be a craw in the process...**** you

[HoarfrostHubb]

Our 2 cats would get them if they were in the house.

One caught a small snake once... crawled in through where the waste pipe heads out of the basement to the septic... little tiny hole.

Wife is allergic to cats but luckily we have a great shelter dog that I've watched nail a few mice in the house.

Mountain Feist FTW (Might loan her to Kevin for chipmunk season)

Luna

[HoarfrostHubb]

Check out the moon if you can, low in the western sky

[weatherwiz]

What a beautiful afternoon it was, last time I checked the high which was just around 3:00 PM it was well into the mid 60's...such an awesome day. Chilly outside now though

[weatherMA]

I don't understand it..WHo is it that is saying this is a Phishing site? Sound slike I'm gonna be locked out again come Monday morning at the office.

The Phishing was a problem on my home computer...but on facebook this message gave me what I needed to fix it.

For those unable to log in from home... try changing your DNS IP addresses to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. These are google's IPs. If you need instructions, Google it as the steps depend on what OS you're using.

Anyway, high of 66 but since then its dropped to 33.1.

NIce, warm day today, hopefully snow later this week!

[weatherwiz]

That cold snap for next weekend continues to look pretty impressive, even though it may not be long lasting. I wonder if we can manage to get any clipper-type systems at all during that pattern...fast flow aloft with active jet.

[MaineJayhawk]

Boo 0z GFS for Friday.

As some thought.

[CCPSUSuperstorm2010]

GFS is not being consistent with this system for the 19th. I don't buy into that model solution for something supposed to happen between 4-7 days out. The GFS has a tendency for some reason to lose a snowstorm in this range. I mean we all remember the Dec 18-20th 2009 Blizzard? I mean the GFS had way out to sea and only snow for North Carolina. I ended up with 15-18" of snow. 18z NOGAPS deepens the storm to 976mbs, however about 200-300 miles too far ENE. 12z EURO looked good and has a pretty dynamic storm system, although still about 150-200 miles too far ESE. Again we are 6 days out at the most for this system. Still a lot of model cycles before this becomes anything serious or not serious.

I'm not so sure that system ever really had potential to produce snows for us, the NAO really doesn't change until the system already passes us and the pattern in place prior to the storm's arrival doesn't appear really conducive for snows...not much cold air around us and definitely none in place over the region and with the SE ridge in place looks like the system will cut to our west just a bit.

Maybe we can manage some snow shower potential on the backside of it...fast flow aloft with maybe some vort maxes passing through.

Most threats don't become anything serious until inside of 4-5 days...and frequently more like inside of 3 days.

The "threat" next Friday is pretty fine lined in its possible window of development, so that would likely be the type of system that will be hard to pin down until much closer if its even still close to a hit a couple days from now.

Other times, you can see the setup a bit better further out. The Feb 5-6, 2010 Mid-Atlantic snow bomb was pretty easy to see at 5-6 days out since there was a wide margin for error down there...i.e. there weren't a lot of setups in that pattern that would completely screw them.

I would think this year definitely would be a case of where nothing is really serious until it's definitely inside 3 days, especially if we see lots of SW flow events and potential for large gradients.

00z Euro isn't even close to an event for next Thursday night/Friday. Its getting to about 108-114h out, so not much time before the Euro gets into its deadly range.

Who cares.

[ORH_wxman]

Who cares.

Plenty of weenies on here have been talking about it. So I told them what the Euro said tonight.

I don't have much interest in it...never really did. Its zone of development is way too narrow to get excited. Doesn't mean it can't happen, but its pretty unlikely. It doesn't "look" right for a storm.

You know me, I wouldn't make a very good teacher, but if I view it as a joke... then it probably isn't going to happen.

If something did happen out of it, the way it looks right now, it would probably be more of an inverted trough than an actual decent storm. One of your favorite types of events.
