Severe Weather thread.

Well that was a gross day.
Started out with ice. Chevy work van put himself in the ditch this AM (did three complete rotations as he went past the house). The plow truck went up the hill three times, backwards, dumping salted sand the entire way. Nearly lost our mailbox to out of control cars twice.
Switched over to plain-jane rain around 3, but that just made the ice even more slippery than it was to start with.
Glad I didn't have anywhere to go today; we just hung around the house, feeding the woodstove and reading. Pretty low key Saturday, really.

 

We got pummeled with high winds and heavy rain last night

 

We got hit with 8" of snow wed-thurs and then it turned to rain last night. Makes for some nasty roads

 

That sucks. Lucky you didn't have to go anywhere. Don't mind days like that so much.

We got a good amount of rain most of the day here, now winds are picking up pretty good.

I'm hoping for snow next weekend. Heading up to the cabin, so hope for some good snow up there.

 

Bump...

 

Sorry, no crap weather to report of late. Last week was in the 40's all week. Melted all my snow. We're down to less than 6 inches around here now, and we had better than two feet before.

 

We might be getting a foot tonight, looks like it is ganna strart snowing any minute here. I just heard there is possibly another storm coming next week also.

 

Supposed to stay south of me, just a couple of inches forecast for us overnight.
Poo.

 

.Hoping for the higher end of 10

 

Got about 2 inches of powder and coming down pretty good still. But only the chance of about 5". Lame. Temp is dropping all day though. 19* now and dropping. Was 21* around 7 am so dropping pretty quick.

 

Bah. I'm in the 2-4 band. To paraphrase Greeley;
Go North, young storm. Go North and snow up the country!!

 

VT is missing it again....what the heck....friggin below zero though...all I have seen is clippers, ice, bone chillin temps. Winter blows.

 

yeah that's me lol

 

understandable. I was the same way last week when we got rain, then warm weather, then some more rain.

 

oh yeah I forgot about the rain!!!
I am just bummed because I love to snowmobile & have only limited time.
Plus hurting lots of businesses who depend on the skiers, sledders, etc.
Body Shops and towing trucks are busy though.

 

That's a bummer. We got about 5" of powder today. Still coming down, but light. Then the temp is gonna drop to low for me and the kids to play in it.

 

I concur. Been doing this for years just because I noticed how it worked out. Never read it anywhere.

Yes. I have top of the line Anderson's with low-e coating and it works. Low-e isn't the end all be all people say it is and in the winter it still lets heat in the key is it stopping heat from escaping.

 

NY winters blow!! I'm So sick of it too! Rain and 60 then -27...then rain...then snow...then rain...then ice..then -27... WTF?!
