Was 75 when we took off from Orlando today.

I spent 3 hours clearing snow when I got home. 

I'm almost done though!   Fleeing south in a few months.

 

 

Raining moderately heavily here in North Middletown along the Bayshore.  I am just east of the rain-snow line. Supposed to get 3-5” of snow between 11:00 am and 4:00pm. Until then, am hoping it continues to rain hard and melt some of the existing snow. 
 

Update, LOL. I must have jinxed myself. It just started snowing five minutes after my above post.  @#$&*

Nothing at all in southern Sussex until about 8:45. Started a dusting and at 9:30 it's barely covered the pavement.

Started as rain here and quickly turned to heavy snow. We are in the 6-10” zone, so we’ll see what happens. 

Changed from rain to snow around 8:30 in burlco.  I think we’re now forecast for 3-5 (down from 6-10). 

WFMZ Allentown keeps dropping the snow estimate. And the storm (lack of) center is moving off rapidly.

Raining moderately heavy here (X105 GSP), for now.  It looks weird though, like there may be a small amount of wet snow mixed.

we have 2" down, at a computed rate of 1.18"/hr right now.

When is this one supposed to be ending?

I heard four, but that was yesterday’s forecast. 

Extended to 7 I heard 

Fudge.  Better get out there and clear some off then.  Do what's left after the game.

Alert on weather.com says 7pm, but radar shows it clear by 4pm.  Right now we are sitting at about 4 inches in Clinton area

It’s been snowing like the dickens since 8:30 or so but I went outside and there was only two or three inches on the ground. Less on the driveway.  

Here too. I’d say 4” or so, but it’s nasty, slushy messy stuff on the walks. 
 

I’m going to make the first cleanup pass around the ‘hood shortly. Maybe minimize it turning to a chunk of ice tonight. 

First round done.  3-4 inches near me.  Light & fluffy right now.

Banged it out and helped a few of my neighbors out.

Hopefully not much more to clear later tonight.  Guess I'll work off the beer and chips from watching the game and wont' feel guilty about eating garbage all day! 

looked wet and heavy earlier. when i took kylie out, it was slushy.......

Stopped snowing. The stuff on the sidewalks in my hood is messy. Slushy. Wet. 
Gets nasty as hell when it refreezes. Thankfully I was able to get most of it up around my block. 

Well it's done in Sussex. Two inches of dry white powder.  More annoying than anything else.

i just finished clearing my house of smoike....'cause even though half of the communist state of kalifornia burns down when some asshole decides he has to use a smoke grenade to tell the world that he just had a kid.........i apparently can't light my woodstove with all the proper firestarting shit in place.

 

 now i'm gonna go clear the sidewalks

That down draft can be a bitch. Use a heat gun if ya got one to get a draft going in the correct direction.

oh shit! i never thought of that!! thanks man!

Makes me glad I have a Wood stove.  Get it started, close the door.  Wait.  Maybe open the clean out door briefly.  

Makes me glad I have a gas fireplace, flip a switch and sit back and enjoy the heat..

Got lucky.  It was almost done when I finished up.

Went back out to clean the cars off after taking 30 minute break.  One neighbor usually snowblows a lot of the neighbor's sidewalks,including mine.  He was shoveling.

Asked him what was up.  Said his snow blower broke during last storm.  So I helped him shovel his sidewalk & driveway .

Hopefully we can take a break from snow for a while?  At least we shouldn't have to worry about a drought later this year.

i used to have a gas stove in the same place........i loved it........2 things made me change it....mom's afraid of gas..or so she says......and my little bit of paranoia about gas getting shut off to neighborhoods in times of emergency..........they ain't shuttin my wood stove off.

I measured 5.5” on the hood of my tractor at 12:15.   We started  at 12:00. Just got done

I'm seeing that too. Starting Wednesday night through Thursday into Friday. Prediction is 6+ inches in my area by the coast.

Then more Saturday through Sunday... it ain't over yet.
