Snow that persists all day here in the flatlands and along the coast. :angry: Can't even make snowmen with it.

There must be nearly two inches here right now. :angry:

Worse than waterboarding, while the mountains have nary a flurry in the skies. :angry:

Death by a thousand cuts.:angry:

LOL, nice :) Ya know, I didn't mind yesterday's snow at all. The woods around our yard are pretty when it's snowing and if it doesn't accumulate too much, I don't have to deal with clearing my deck & driveway. Obviously I'd've preferred it be dumping up north and I be up there for it, but that not being the case, I was ok w/ yesterday's "snow".

That said, I do share your frustration in general. :-?

According to the all powerful FaceBook the NVT resorts had a powder day yesterday. Specifically Stowe & Jay, but assumingly Smuggs as well. Can any confirm or deny these internet rumors? Just curious. Oh yeah and Billski definitely has "lost it". Thus thread title is blasphemous!!

I learned today that the amount of accumulation reported contains the sum of: snow, freezing rain and ice pellets.



Gentlemen, my bags are packed and the the gas is topped off. Sorry, no friends.

I just learned that the tools for measuring snow are very simple: You need a rain gage, consisting of a funnel, inner measuring cylander and overflow can, as well as a calibrated ruler specifically made for that rain gage. And don't forget your snowboard*!

This video is amazing. Highly recommended especially any old fans of 3-2-1 Contact.

Never before would I have guessed that "a regular ruler does not work!"... you need a National Weather Service official dipstick.
