The Official 2/9 - 2/10 Storm Discussion Thread

I looked out at one point to see that moderate snow had suddenly changed to huge, zero-visibility snow, falling at a rate that I'd never seen before.

I watched, dumbfounded, then realized finally that a sudden wind was simply driving all the snow off the tree tops. It wasn't windy close to the ground, so I hadn't realized. I was a little disappointed.

It was pretty weird wasn't it? To see wind drive straight down. All I could think of was water rapidly dumped from a bucket. That's the way the snow looked. A huge dump truck of snow in the sky...

Temp is down to 9 here, wind from the SW at 25 with gusts to 40. Wind chill is hovering around -10. Every so often, a windblown blizzard blows by. Good to finally have true mid-winter weather. Now we need Tuesday night's storm to blow up.
