Do we have one yet? I'll start. Last night I lay in bed listening to the pouring rain; it looks like tonight I'll be listening to the wind blow. We keep losing power which is not good since I have about 85 loads of laundry to do

TheOldMole Jan 11 2016 10:34 PM Re: Weather 2016

Sunny and low 70s pretty much every day in San Miguel de Allende.

I think I would stay there for awhile :D I like your avatar!

MFS62 Jan 13 2016 09:21 AM Re: Weather 2016

Had to shovel a little snow off my driveway this morning. Probably around an inch. Its going to stay in the 20s today, but it could melt from the sun and then freeze later tonight. Later

dgwphotography Jan 13 2016 09:24 AM Re: Weather 2016

The worst thing about this storm was the salt and other assorted crap that was put down on the roads. I already ran my car through the car wash.

MFS62 Jan 14 2016 08:03 AM Re: Weather 2016

Shoveling my driveway twice in two days. I am NOT a happy camper. This sux. Later

By tomorrow morning the weather people are going to be peeing all over themselves over this potential weather event. Tune in hourly for a 2016 Storm-Tracker Update.

Fman99 Jan 19 2016 07:20 PM Re: Weather 2016

I've been shoveling three times a day since Sunday. That will continue at least through tomorrow morning. It's a way of life, up here. You bundle up, shrug it off, and come in for hot cocoa or coffee when you're done. Fboy and Fgirl don't mind it a bit.

Chad Ochoseis Jan 19 2016 10:05 PM Re: Weather 2016

Shaker Heights, Ohio, 7:45 this morning. A mere taste of the Weather Event™ that you're in for on the east coast.

MFS62 Jan 19 2016 10:35 PM Re: Weather 2016

The CT stations are all giving it that ol' "definite maybe", based on the "track of the storm". This could mean I might actually have to go to work on Saturday. Later

cooby classic Jan 20 2016 04:10 AM Re: Weather 2016

Love the picture Fman! We're to get a "bit" of snow on Saturday.

d'Kong76 Jan 21 2016 08:33 PM Re: Weather 2016

Forecast is fizzling fast, might be down to a dusting by the time it hits up here in the northern-not-quite country.

TransMonk Jan 22 2016 10:52 AM Re: Weather 2016

No snow where I am today. I'm thinking of folks in the East. Stay safe.

cooby classic Jan 22 2016 11:39 AM Re: Weather 2016

Just 1-3 inches forecasted here.

cooby classic Jan 22 2016 07:02 PM Re: Weather 2016

I am beginning to think this is a conspiracy theory, since according to the map, it has been snowing here for hours, and so far we have not seen a flake

Forecast unfizzled, up to a foot now. What a racket, that meteorologist game.

Frayed Knot Jan 23 2016 09:59 AM Re: Weather 2016

The coverage has been terrible. No one has even said which Jonas brother this storm is named after!!

dgwphotography Jan 23 2016 11:24 AM Re: Weather 2016

I just find it hysterical when my go to local meteorologist puts this up as his cover photo on Facebook: It's the nice, dry, light snow that will be relatively easy to remove. The problem is that there is a lot of drifting with said light snow.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 23 2016 02:11 PM Re: Weather 2016

This storm to me had all the markings of a hoax but no joke out there! This was a couple hours ago and it's only heavier now.

cooby classic Jan 23 2016 03:07 PM Re: Weather 2016

I feel a little guilty saying this...but I don't think we are even going to have to shovel. Less than an inch

D-Dad isn't letting a little thing like a broken elbow keep him from plowing us out.

MFS62 Jan 24 2016 10:21 AM Re: Weather 2016

I hope he is careful not to slip and re-injure the break. There are lots of folks with snow blowers on my street, and people use them like a cane to lean on while plowing and forget there can be icy spots between the wheels. I've seen more than a few of them slip. Hopefully, by the time I post this he is safely back in the house enjoying a warm drink. Later

themetfairy Jan 24 2016 10:58 AM Re: Weather 2016

It's self-propelled, so he was able to use it with one arm for the most part. Just now got inside, after clearing our driveway and two neighbors'. We got about 20" down here, so it was a substantial task.

This thread makes me appreciate southern winters. Southerners have no idea how to deal with ice and snow, but luckily they seldom need to. I think snow can be pretty and at times it is fun. However, I prefer to go to the snow should I wish to see it, rather than have it come to me.

I've seen (up close and personal) a major highway near Ashville shut down for weeks due to snow cover that went unremoved and turned to ice. Also, been in the city of Atlanta when it was shut down to all but essential traffic because of two inches of snow. They DO have an idea of how to deal with ice and snow. I believe it can be summarized as "wait for Summer". Later

Yes - there's still some on the lawn (that will likely be gone after Wednesday's projected warm rain) and some substantial plowed piles on the streetcorners that will probably be with us for a while.

I hat that f'n groundhog. Took me twice as long as usual to get to work this morning and about 1 1/2 the usual time to get home. They had plowed the roads this afternoon, but it snowed again and was still snowing when I drove home. That critter'd better stay away from me or it'll git skinned. Later

Calling for some powerfully low temps this weekend, of course, it would be the weekend I have a 12 mile training run on tap in preparation for the Vermont City marathon this May. Highs near zero. With windchill! I don't mind snow in the least. But bitter cold temperatures make all of my end pieces hurt.

MFS62 Feb 09 2016 08:58 AM Re: Weather 2016

When I got home last night I saw that my driveway had been plowed (which means it had been at least 3" deep). It snowed almost another 3 inches AFTER my driveway got plowed, which I had to shovel. If that f'n groundhog ever had to shovel snow, it would get Spring here a lot quicker. Later

If you have a watch that will keep track of the laps and some good music to listen to I think that would be your best option.

I shoveled some snow this morning, making this the fourth day in a row I've had to do that. And now the wind is bowing the snow I shoveled this morning back across my driveway. Later

MFS62 Feb 14 2016 08:55 AM Re: Weather 2016

14 below zero last night. I'm going to get warm by eating a hearty bowl of groundhog stew (if I can find the little fucker). Later

d'Kong76 Feb 14 2016 09:18 AM Re: Weather 2016

You'll have to post your recipe, I've always found groundhog a bit chewy.

MFS62 Feb 14 2016 09:32 AM Re: Weather 2016

d'Kong76 wrote: You'll have to post your recipe, I've always found groundhog a bit chewy. The trick is cutting it up into tiny pieces, use a wine-based marinade (the acid tenderizes the meat) and then cooking it a few minutes longer than you would other stew meats. About a half hour before its done, be sure to skim the fat off the top. The extra effort is worth the wait, not to mention the satisfaction you get for payback on the critter that predicted an early Spring. I can't believe I tried to make that a serious answer. Later

I ate a guinea pig once, so wouldn't have reason to object to eating a groundhog.

Benjamin Grimm Feb 16 2016 07:44 AM Re: Weather 2016

I haven't said it, but when I see that I always want to say, "You know, I could live in Florida too, if I wanted to. The reason you live there and I don't isn't because you have some credentials that I lack. I'm aware that it's warm there in the winter, but have chosen to live in the north because weather isn't the only factor that affects quality of life. Please be sure to remind me again of what a paradise Florida is in July when it's 105 and humid, or when there's one hurricane after another." I might be less adverse to Florida if it wasn't so full of smug Floridians who think they've solved all of life's problems by moving there.

Actually this was a friend of a friend and I said... "I like winter so your 80 degrees doesn't impress me" Also, I checked the weather for the place she lives (in Oklahoma) and the high today is going to be 58, so I guess she's dyslexic

Sometimes, they can be good folks. About two days after we moved into our house(in February), the oil burner had problems. We called the company listed on the wall near the furnace and they sent a repair person. He said, " I guess with all the things you had to do when you moved in, you didn't have time to renew the maintenance contract. We'll cover this at no charge. Just make sure you renew the contract when you get a chance". We've stayed with that oil company for 40 years, and our annual renewal of the contract has paid for itself many times. Later

MFS62 Feb 24 2016 10:15 PM Re: Weather 2016

Drove home last night, and as I got to my house, it was 31 degrees, with the pitter patter of ice on my car. Drove home tonight, and the temperature is 61 degrees and it was thunder, lightning and torrential rain. Mother Earth is really pissed off at something. Later

cooby classic Feb 25 2016 04:12 AM Re: Weather 2016

I drove home in that same line of thunderstorms. Then I picked up my mom and we went for groceries and could hear it thundering in the store. It was awesome!! (hubby texted and said cats went wild though)

Lefty Specialist Feb 25 2016 08:55 AM Re: Weather 2016

Our power went out and we cheered. See, after Sandy (and 6 days without power) we got a built-in backup generator, and it snapped on after 13 seconds. So every time it gets used we clap. Power was only out for about 20 minutes, but we were the only ones on our street with the lights on. Yay.

MFS62 Mar 18 2016 08:14 AM Re: Weather 2016

The weather folks were all over the place last night with predictions about the upcoming storm. Predictions of three potential paths ranged from a Nor'easter- type storm with over a foot of snow to a few inches. By this morning, they're predicting the lesser amounts. Of course, that means we'll probably get a foot of snow. Later

MFS62 Mar 20 2016 05:07 PM Re: Weather 2016

Because of the weather reports predicting snow from earlier this week, the St. Patrick's Day parade in Danbury, scheduled for today, was called off. As of the moment (around 6 PM) no snow has fallen. Later

We have a tiny-gnat-like thing going on here that I'm hoping will cure itself once I can put the porch plants back out. I'm hoping the coming weeks will see frost free nights going forward. We're just north enough that it's too early until mid April or so.

I'd like to get some nice big plants for my deck (among my billion other projects I don't have the time/money for) but I'm worried about animals. I'd like to see if my plumeria will flower if I leave it outside too.
