The forecast changed from five-to-eight inches to six-to-ten inches. That's not very precise, but it spans a big area: "Portions of south central and southwest Maine. Portions of central, northern, and southern New Hampshire"

It started to lightly snow at 6:30 p.m. and it's 11:30 p.m. now. It's 28° so I'm not going to go out to measure it, but I can eyeball the snow on my patio table and tell it's about 4". That's like a third of an inch of rain in 5 hours - quite a bit, with another 22 hours remaining! I'll measure it in the morning when I go out to shovel the deck, but I think before it's over we'll be closer to ten inches than six. I doubt it's the soggy, wet stuff micro bemoaned... it's too cold for that. Hopefully I'll find that it's the light powder that skiers and those of us forced to shovel have an appreciation for.

My blower specs claim it can shoot snow 40 feet. The snow a few days ago was so soggy that what came out of the blower looked more like water from a hose, only going about ten feet. Since my driveway is wide, ten feet sometimes won't even clear it, making a big job even bigger.

So far, I'd guess that this storm will be easier than the last - simply because it's colder.

This remains the warmest winter we've had since we've been here. Global warming, ya know.

I haven't seen snowflakes this large in quite awhile. At least a few years.. It started around 6:00 a.m. this morning with just some very small flakes and after a couple hours it evolved into a major event.

I have several inches of the stuff on my cars, in my yard, and it's really coming down in large flakes and lots of them.

Hope it stops sometime soon and that the public servants get the road chemicals down and get plowing and treating this mess on the roads. I need clean roadsurface tomorrow morning.. lol!!!

I have to go to Cleveland tomorrow for my first out of town trip since my heart surgery.

I don't need any additional stress but I have five meetings scheduled up there and two in the Columbus area.

I don't mind driving on wet pavement but I find the more I get closer to Ribit's ancient days the more I dislike driving in a snowstorm or ice..

A few of these meetings are very important so I really am hoping this stuuff moves on sometime soon. Like east..

I'd post a picture of the white scenery but I am too lazy to go to the trouble and do editing.

This is very unexpected.. Even the weather guessers on four different stations missed this...

I wonder if it will move east into Buffalo in time for today's ere-match between the Beefalos and the Bungles.

If Damar hadn't gotten seriously injured it sure looked like Burrow and company were having their way on offense and the defense had stuffed Buffalo.

They got away without a loss.. Now we have to play at their stadium. It's a little irksome but it is what it is..

I just looked out my office window again at the snow coming down and it hasn't slowed up any.

I think Ribit sent those moisture filled clouds up here from down there so when they hit this colder air we would have this mess. Pretty sure it's his fault...


Have a blessed day everyone.. Obviously I did not get out today but Dr. Tony Evans was very good this morning..

C y'all later...
