Meteo Madness?
Is that a euphemism for media overhype?:roll:

I just went on a 45 minute walk all throughout my hood. The temperature is 28 degrees with a light freezing rain which is coating everything..areas that were slush puddles an hour ago are now getting crunchy..based on the radar..it looks like a band of moderate freezing rain is headed this way as it's over Reading right now..tomorrow morning could be a mess in valley locations where temperatures struggle to rise above freezing.

I'm starting to wonder whether the drive to school tomorrow will be safe. My car's kinda light and idk how well it'll drive in the snow yet. From the look of the radar this snow isn't gonna go anywhere for a while, too...

 

[Zand]

Snow's been coming down for at least an hour; we're in a moderate band right now. Already a dusting and the roads are covered. Too bad the fookin changeover has to come in the morning, but it should be nice at Wachusett for reopening day.

 

[Glenn]

Maybe an inche of snow here in CT...then it turned to freezing rain. But another system rolls in Friday...then one again Sunday...then maybe another Christmas Eve. Sweet!

 

[Greg]

Probably ended up with a half inch of snow with a quarter inch of crust. Yuck.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

1.5 inches of snow....about 1/10th of an inch of ice...

 

[Euler]

2 + inches of dense, sleety snow in WIlmington. Still coming down.

 

[WJenness]

Left my house at about quarter of 7 2-3" on the cars and the ground... no changeover yet <knock on wood>

26 degrees at home
28 degrees at the office, getting a little sleety here.

It's safe. You'll be behind the slowest drivers in the state. Even if you get hit, it will be at 5mph :flame:

Small consolation, maybe, but it looks great in the north country. SB reported 5" and it's still coming down at a good clip. It's good snow for this time of year, too, the kind that crunches under your feet. Not too wet, not too dry.

Small consolation nothing. I'll be there tomorrow. And Friday is looking sa-weet.

 

[KingM]

Dumping at the moment, which is funny because I checked out the radar and it looked like we'd hit a dry slot with a few localized blue patches. We must be in the middle of one of them.

 

[tcharron]

God I hope they fix our power today, even in the snow. The 1, 2, 3 combo punch of snow, even if total is only a foot, would TOTALLY give PSNH an excuse for me not to have power untill January.

 

[Zand]

Couple inches here... nothing great but it'll do. Heading to Wachusett in a few.

 

[nelsapbm]

There was 4-5" on the ground/car when I left for work this morning. Havent been out since I got here, but if I had to guess, we've got somewhere around 6-7" and it's still snowing (So. Burl VT).

 

[loafer89]

We got about 1" of snow last night and currently it's 32.4F with freezing rain. We have about 1/4" of ice glaze on everything.

Nice Moe Ghoul is up at Sugarbush right now..KingM why aren't you skiing today?

Yeah, good question. I've got too much stuff to get done here in preparation for Christmas Week. I'll get up again this week, though, even if have to sneak out the back door when Melinda turns her back.

just tell her you are checking on the surface conditions at the ski areas so that you can accurately inform your guests on what to expect. it sounds like a good business move. ;-)
