I remember one night long ago back in Albany, I was walking back to my place from a bar about midnight.
The snow was coming down in huge flakes, almost clumps. Probably about 6-8 inches per hour.
But it was just the right temp, around 28, and just the right humidity... all I could hear was dead silence. The snow was muffling every sound there was.
It was majestic. Very beautiful. And a kind of peace you rarely see.
No wheres near what they/you are putting up with now, though!
Hang tough!
I don’t have to get out tomorrow so I’m enjoying it. I’ll probably be outside listening to the quiet before sunrise but I’ll retreat into the house when the wind and cold hit.
The snow is beautiful, but it’s also a good time to snuggle next to your sweetie.
ha ha. The East Coast MSM will be heartbroken if Kraken misses them.
This phenomenon reminds me of being a kid and telling another kid that you were really sick. There is always that kid who says, yeah, but you don’t know sick. I was more sick than anyone. Nobody could have been more sick than me. LOL Becomes a habit.
I grew up in Minnesota. These kinds of temperatures were very common when I was growing up.
Just north of me they got hit with the ice storm right before Christmas (including some of our FReeper Friends) Some of those people just got their power back on yesterday.
The NHL Winter Classic was played in a snowstorm about 30 miles east of here.
If these tempertures actually happen in the Cleveland area, they’re saying it’s something that hasn’t occurred since 1994. I’m wondering how utilities will hold up.
Looks like a real sharp cutoff of the snow 4 or 5 miles north of me for now but its creeping my way near Brooklyn.
We're in the yellow south east of you. The bands could easily widen or narrow and you could get much more. How could they predict the swaths of snow? It's not as if the storm is an on the ground tornado. Then again, I'm not a weather person. :)
Midwesterners get hit with all kinds of stuff that is awful, they just have to grin and bear it. No sympathy we get.
After we got hit with those tornados a while back, Obama told Governor Pence and the victims to take a hike, you all didn’t vote for me.
meh, we don’t want his help anyway. At least Pence didn’t shame himself by sucking up like Christie did to Obama.
I follow the local weather pretty closely. WILX is pretty good for a detailed radar.
Never seen it like that before. People are nuts.
The Texas fertilizer plant explosion after Boston is a perfect example.
Walmart here was jammed today. It is a one and a half day event. Hard to see why anyone needed to do more than fill in a gap or two.
Yep, that nightmare got lost really quick. I bet nobody got any gubmint help either.
I always have enough food for an extended stay at home. I always have basic fishing tackle as well.
1994.
Cold wave from Canada dropped down about to DC and stayed for 2 weeks. Hi temp? About 20 below.
Go Packers.
