Severe Weather ?

24 hours ago they were predicting the end of western civilization for me. Then 12 hours ago it was downgraded to hordes of flying locusts. Looks like their original prediction was closer to being right.

 

well at least it isnt a flood. Had enough of those im sure.

 

The Snowpocalypse!!!!

 

We ended up with ~3-4 inches, the bottom half is slush.

 

2 to 5 inches of really heavy, back and shovel breaking, WET snow.

My favorite shovel has some new fractures based on the crackling and creaking sounds it was making.
I have like 8 snow shovels in the shed, so I have backups. don't really like any of them, but not a fan of snow shovels. So there's that.

 

Probably close to a foot here in CT when it was all done.

 

5", in some places 6". Wet bottom half. Heavy...

Kids.made a fort. I shoveled. Including a two ft ice ball that the plow deposited on my driveway...

 

I love winter and snow but this pizzy winter can be done IMHO!
"They" quit talking about snow from this one for us a few days ago, and they actually had it right.

 

Absolutely zero precipitation at my place yesterday. Did have the heavy, dark overcast, but that was it. Supposed to have a couple of small storms now thru Friday.

 

Looks like about an inch here. Windy

 

Same here, no snow fall at all. Although we still have 4 or 5 inches still on the ground.

 

7” here in Central Mass. I sure miss real snowstorms

 

I can only hope this leads to some standing dead firewood-worthy trees falling roadside for the taking

 

My aunt in accord CT said she had a foot of wet heavy
“It’s so pretty “

 

We actually had a little bit of winter in the flatlands!

 

Early thaw and the ground is saturated. Getting huge winds this morning (started last night). Any trees that were compromised over the winter will surely be coming down. My house is shaking and banging from the howling gusts.

 

8,000 without power vt
4,500 in nh
Winds were 45-70 breezy

 

We had that blustery nonsense last night, but without all the rain/sleet/snow/volcanic ash? they were warning about. Which does make me a little concerned over the lack of precipitation this past winter. May make for a hot DRY summer and all the "fun" stuff that brings with it (hey there is still some forests up north that haven't burnt up yet).

But hey, at least my Starlink dish is still on the roof...

 

At one point ~20,000 were without power in NH yesterday.


Saw on the news last night that just a few miles away from me, they officially recorded 58 mph gusts. Wouldn't surprise me that I got near or at that. At that time (probably 5 or 5:30 pm), they said my area was still getting 25 mph gusts and there wasn't any wind shrieking, house shaking or any indication from inside the house of the winds. I went outside and could tell though . I decided to forego my usual Thursday night dump run as the wind chill was more than I wanted to deal with.
