Finally some snow

[davidbeinct]

We’ve probably got three or four inches here on the eastern Connecticut shoreline and it’s still coming down really well.

We had an icing sugar sprinkle about an hour ago, but nothing since.

About two inches of very dry, fluffy snow has fallen in the last few hours, and continues to come down.
Just shovelled the walk and driveway to get ahead of it (easier to shovel 2 inches twice than 4 inches once) and because I have a hockey game to play this afternoon.

Going skiing tomorrow!

We only got 1 inch here! But we are due for 1-3" any minute now, a line coming in from the west, we'll see how that pans out!

Started as rain, turned to snow but melted when it hit the ground, started sticking, stopped snowing, sun came out, all melted! A big nuthin' muffin!

 

[James Hart]

Ours was just about a foot... melted down to 7-8" the next day and froze up. I hear we are due another couple inches tomorrow night or Sat (I haven't looked, the wife gave me a report earlier).

Another 3". It's almost like winter here!

Fun that you suthern folks are getting more snow than we are....

Is that guitar going to have to acclimate before it goes back inside?

This has been just a fizzle of a winter up here in New England. Only one real winter storm that dropped snow this year; everything else was just rain and sleet. I think I broke out the snowblower 3 times, total! Usually it's at least 10 times.

Anyway, I just thought I'd post some pictures of a localized ice storm that we just had over the weekend here in central MA. The last pic is my front yard on Saturday evening before the long rain/sleet Saturday night. The rest of the pics are from Sunday morning. If you zoom in you'll get a feel for the beauty. Absolutely exquisite to see and drive through with the top down. Lots of branches on the local roads but no damage to me and mine.

I was going to plow, however my plans were changed by 10 am. Glad I have a neighbor with a big truck. That is my log splitter next to the cow fence. There is a stack of wood there somewhere too Got about 18 inches here.

Very nice, C. W. What's the gizmo in the picture? Is that a well pump?

[Never mind, I see that it's your log splitter.... ]

Ugh. We were out skiing in warm, sunny Bend, OR. Sure it was nice but while we were relegated to skiing groomers and slush it was nuking snow in VT. Just got home yesterday.

 

[C.W.Wolf]

Just heard on the radio, (yes, I still listen to the radio) that the highest in VT was 32 inches. Needless to say, my old 8hp didn't weigh enough to push it. Just got my car dug out today, enough so I can get the new power steering line on. I am getting to old for this

 

[C.W.Wolf]

Just have to watch out for these!

We only had then once up here in VT. I was a kid then, but
I have watched for them ever since.

Been a long time since we've seen an over-two-footer around central MA, C. W. Stay warm and safe.

I'm in MetroWest and we just got rain--about 3 inches.
I was out in Gardner today and I was shocked to see the snow--guess I missed that on the weather.
My brother, who live in southeast VT got 8 inches of snow Sat night.
Weird winter--I'm afraid this is climate change........
Bad for the farmers--a week of 60 degrees and then snow, ice and 25. Yikes.

Sounds like Eastern NH is in for the ice today. I am hoping it doesn't get this far West, since I am planning on crawling under the car today.
