2024 severe weather!

[EatenByLimestone]

I used my snowblower a couple times. I was fighting a pinched nerve and didn’t want to shovel too much for most of the winter. All the snow we got was pretty much wet and heavy.

Latest forecast shows 8-12”overnight. Truck is up by the road, I don’t want to get stuck away from it. Wood is moved in so I should have enough to tide me until Sunday.

I made sure everything was fueled up, at the moment we're not getting much but that should change overnight.

I did get the old 028 Wood Boss out, it started right up so I sharpened three chains for it. I haven't run that in over a year.

I'm in for anywhere from 4-12", or maybe even more depending on what source I look at. Then a couple of hours of sleet/rain, then possibly more snow as the storm wraps around after dark tonight.

Sounds like a big mess if you get what they're calling for. We didn't get much snow overnight but it's starting to pickup this morning.

I am sitting next the a 24" (berlin) on the lower graphic. as of 7 AM I have about 1/2" of snow, I was expected more when I got up. No doubt I will get more but these predicted snow totals are looking like a ski industry late season hype event. When the media wants to crank up the totals, they start listing the snow totals at high elevations like a ski area.

The frost is coming out of the ground so the snow tends to melt quicker once we have a sunny day. Probably not a good day for any solar generation but when the sun comes out tomorrow, once I clean the panels it will could be a record day as the fresh snow reflects additional sun on the panels. . It comes down to if clears out before sunrise so I generate all day.

Lots of sugar snow falling now. 23F outside. It looks like they were right when they guessed around 6”.

 

[DonTee]

We got around 6” here also. It’s still snowing right now but is supposed to be done around noon they say. Then it will warm up next week. Tonight is the last cooler night they call for that I can see in the 10 day forecast. Low of 16 degrees.

My Pyrenees loves the snow. She was excited when she went outside this morning.

 

[thewoodlands]

We're getting the sugar snow too, about 4 inches so far. We have two more nights of cooler temps 12 & 14 and then the warmer weather with rains move in next week.

march sucks

Just remember @joop ,

 

[joop]

and don't eat yellow snow

I now have about 6" of block ice everywhere. I chose to leave the snow to soak up the sleet/rain, and I may be paying the price for it for a week or more. And the solar panels probably won't generate anything for a couple of days - or longer. Today supposed to get sun, but the rest of the week will be cloudy so they won't heat up.

The one good decision I made yesterday was to have a neighbor blow out the berm at the end of the driveway last night with his plow truck. First time I've ever paid anyone to take care of any snow event since I've been here.

Depending on who is forecasting, I'm in the 12-24" range for snow from the imminent Nor'easter. The wind expected is going to be the main issue and I expect power outages will again be a major issue as it was from the storm 10 days ago.

 

[joop]

nah,according to woodlands map it stops right at the border,lucky us

They say the worst of it starts around 11 a.m. tomorrow morning over in this area, what time does it hit your area once it clears the border?

We’re slated to get 6-12”. Or nothing, you never know, lol.

We're about the same, NOAA keeps on dropping the snow totals, 4 to 6 the last I looked.
