Here comes winter

Hey do us a favor. Please keep that chit out your way and don't send it to us!

Too late looks like Wednesday we will be getting our own mess! Perdicting sleet, rain and snow for New England.

Just when it was starting to feel like spring! :-S

It is what is is. I don't subscribe to the notion that we are "due" for any particular weather except for the fact that seasons change.
I have really enjoyed this mostly open winter. The only thing that would have been better is to not ha d so much ice. But there again, it is what it is!
Forecast for this area is for March 1st to be a big storm. Snow blower and shovels are ready. Bird feeders are full. Back up supplies still available. But not all gloom and doom. I am getting my seed ordered and setting up the solar space for planting seedlings.

On the otherside of the lake, we are supposed to get freezing rain from this storm. We will see what happens.

Oh crap I'm with Jay - keep it up there in the NW corner please!
I'm ready to put the snowplow,snowblower, and shovels (Unused this season)
to the back of the garage and bring the mountain bicycle and
motorcycle to the front but I know if I do all that we are sure to
get a snow event.

*High five* to Smoke!

I am north of that line too. times like this I am glad I drive a gas guzzling 4x4 pick up. and we do need some snow for the crops.

Looks like MA is getting some snow Wednesday night. Will it be a hit or miss.... Lately they hype up a storm which then turns to nothing.... We'll see what happens.

There saying wet snow to rain!

Good

they downgraded us to 8 to 12". :lol:

According to the local weather, we might get close to a 1/2 inch of freezing rain. Ouch!

I'll tell ya once it has done its thing.

That's 'cause you are in brown county Smoke. southern Oconto here. LOL. so far not even a flake.

1-3 in Syracuse NY...40 on Thursday, 50 on Friday and Saturday. Crazy...

we are by the Sandalwood golf course.

There was about 5" of snow on the ground when I left for work at 4am today.

Can you send some of that stuff to Maryland? I like snow. I also like to watch the havoc break out at the first sign of a flurry. Marylander's tend to think a couple of inches of snow is on par with nuclear holocaust.

We ain't had anything to write home about this year at all, and I would like to see at least a foot or two before summer shows up. Oh yeah, we don't get spring--we just go from late winter into hot, humid summer. Ick.

We're getting rain.

I'd love a foot of snow. This winter has sucked big time.

Agree

Freezing here and a few inches of snow -not ice- on the ground, unusual this winter. But the lake has a lot of open water...usually you can drive on it in February. Calling for snow, looks like snow, but I doubt it will snow. Ground is so dry the garden can be worked. Expect to get early crops in next week. If they don't grow, big deal. I'll reseed. Figure with this crazy year it is worth pretending I'm in Zone 7. Drove along the Mohawk yesterday: it is crazy scary low. Almost dry across in lots of places. If we don't get a really wet spring, especially if we have another hot summer up here, we're in for big trouble. Know that as of the end of Sept. we had water levels in the Rideau watershed that were at record lows. It's been darn dry since then. Most people don't seem to be aware of the situation. Really good this year to get firewood in while there is still some moisture in the woods. This may be a bad fire year. At any rate, if it is dry anad the woods are challenged, the less they are disturbed the better. Good leaf cover and touching canopy keeps a bit of water in and gives the trees a chance. We had one year a while back that was perfectly still - no wind or breeze all summer. Very dry. Leaves died, turned brown and fell off in August. Now that was an awful sight.

Supposed to be 78 here on thursday with snow sunday night. It's like a revolving door here lately. Got 4" of snow a couple weeks ago and then it was 82 a couple days later.

I've heard from several weather people say there isn't any thing to keep the cold air to hang around. Something about blocking over greenland? Dunno..

Spring will be here soon though.
