We got about 2'. Worcester got a record 33.5".
Feels like I've been here before, fuzzy then but still so obscure........

Maybe you had too much too fast.

The snow stopped pretty quickly. No accumulation since the ground temps are close to 50ºF. Now we have freezing fog.


F#@ken global warming.

Forecast highs for Friday and Saturday are 78ºF.   :twofinger:

High Monday was 78ºF. Yesterday, the high was 72ºF. It's been snowing off and on most of the afternoon today. The forecast high for Saturday is 72ºF then a major snow event next Tuesday with significant accumulation.

I'll be lucky to see double digit tempters Thursday.

17ºF with 30MPH winds and snow. The inside of the house smells like bacon and cinnamon rolls. I think I'll stay in today.

Here in the city of San Diego we got snow yesterday that equalled our all-time record.


Yeah, that's right- none.
Then you're ripped right out of the ground like a fucking root.  No, you simply cannot hide from the ugly truth.

Caught a glimpse of blue sky early this morning. It didn't last long. Rained off and on most of the day today. Better than the freezing fog we've had the last 2 days. Before that, 3 days of snow. I just caught another glimpse of blue sky. It won't last long. Snow tonight.

This past 7 days has reminded me of when I lived in Germany. Cloudy, wet, cold, foggy, rainy, snowy....It's no wonder bike week starts the first full week of March.

I'm going nuts up here, this might be our last cold snap, then its upper 20s for a week!

For reference thats a temp differential of 40 F.  Its going to feel like summer.
Live life with the risks you accept, but don't try and tell me mine are stupid.

I was going to ask you if it was cold up there right now. Hell, it was cold to me last year in late June!
