@ArmandoPenblade how’s the snow?
It was real pretty yesterday when it was about five or six inches in this area. Then it rained and sleeted on top of it for 20 hours. Then it snowed again for about three or four hours this morning…
Tbh here in the central part of the state, it’s not super bad. I mean shitty to drive on, but out west some areas got 2-3x as much snowfall!
Yesterday morning:
Today:
Thanks, looks pretty manageable. The national news is painting it as a snowpocalypse, but I guess that’s west of you.
I mean any amount of snow or ice is pretty bad for NC; we just don’t have the infrastructure to handle it smoothly. Lots of major roads were ice sheets this morning per the few friends who tried to venture out. But yeah, the western part of the state just got utterly wallopped by this thing.
Luckily, although it’s going to snow / sleet / rain all day today and be below freezing all night long, it’ll be sunny and in the 40s tomorrow, at it’ll all by gone by midweek.
The grocery stores were absolutely nuts at the end of the week last week, though, hah :-(
Additionally, there’s this:
Just me? Or does the weiner look too big for the bun?

If I had a dollar for every time I heard that…
Some local residents are loving it, I hear.

This really depends on where you are. When snow sticks here on our valley floor, everything shuts down and everyone stays home. If it sticks around for more than a couple of days and both passes are closed, we’ll run out of hotel space and everything sort of becomes chaos… that’s just a few inches.
My sister’s area can handle feet of snow so long as it calmly comes down otherwise their ransacked stores make the news.
I don’t even own a snow shovel.
Shattered the annual precipitation record here in DC. Things are falling apart, the center ain’t holding.
Old Town Alexandria’s gonna be underwater soon.
Aye, kinda done with rain. Bleh.
Warmer, wetter Washington. So it’s getting more swampy?
Today it’s 63F raining and very foggy outside on the first day of winter here in the north east.
This was back on November 15th:
Nope no climate change going on.
And everyone just about everywhere is sick now.

It seems worse this year. I probably say it every year but it does seem like everyone I know is sick, on the phone and locally.
Yeah, I got the crud this year bad enough that I went to the doctor over it, which is rare for me. They said it’s been non-stop this year here in West Michigan, mostly gastrointestinal stuff. Which I suppose is better than a flu epidemic, but that’s not saying much.
Winter has finally come to the north east (PA)!
Local forecasts show 1-3" for tonight and then on Sat/Sun anywhere from 6-10" and up to 1.5" of ice after the snow stops.
