The Coffee House

Well, to be honest, I was kinda bitching about it in the morning, but even though the snow was sticking to everything (and I mean everything - it was even partially covering the bulbs on traffic lights!), it wasn't really sticking too much on the roads. It was hovering right around 32F (now it's warmer - around 35F or so) and it was snowing steadily but not that hard. Really small flakes. This meant that all the salt they have been dumping on the roads keeps them essentially wet with only some slushy parts here and there. So the drive in was really not a big deal.

And it's not even snowing anymore. Not for real. We've got a few intermittent spats left, but basically I think we're done with it here.

This one just didn't hit us the way the last two did. Of course, there seems to be one in the works for next week, so there's still the potential for another snow day for me

Ran into rain on the way home, yesterday. It was snowing about 8:00 last night, but nothing sticking. This morning I had to scrape some frozen rain drops off of the windshield, but that was all. All bets are off this weekend.

Hey hosers.

Guess who had to drive to work today?

eek! How long will it be before they tell everyone to make a run for it?

This one is supposed to be a real snow-maker, without the crazy high winds (according to national reports I saw). Fingers crossed that no one loses power, and vodka and Girl Scout cookies make it a better event.

Or a Kahlua cake.

Probably of no interest but no mail at either place. Not even a speck. Odd.

They're holding onto it until they get enough that mailboxes will overflow.

When we get a day off from school, we would go surfing.

I doubt Surfer Gary and his totally rad friends got many snow days.

You're kidding? They have pretty much closed MA for the day today. Not much is open, not even Dunkin Donuts! Only plows on the roads and lots of trees and power lines down. We're holding steady here but it is getting close to white out conditions.

Yeah, Boston is getting pounded by the storm this year.

I think we have somewhere around 7-8 inches here. A couple miles further north and a couple hundred feet of elevation higher, one of my co-workers is reporting 16 inches. It’s a true nor’easter when you have to dump the ruler for a tape measure or a yard stick.

Rain is expected in San Diego starting around 8:00p.m. Consequently, the drive back from San Diego will be entirely in the rain.

Precipitation will increase with elevation up to 16,000' ... IIRC.

I lied. We have 12 inches. Maybe the fluffiest snow I’ve ever seen.

We have at least a foot now. Wasn't snowing too heavily all morning, then about lunch time it really kicked in. Left work early because we could no longer keep the parking lot clear, snow was piling up faster than we could keep up with it.

We're expecting about another 18 inches here between tonight and tomorrow. That's on top of the few feet we still have in our yards. Will have to clear the yard before going to work and then again when I get back.

Ugh! was just watching the news, there's a band of heavy snow just lingering above this part of the state.

Meanwhile in East Texas we are having a most beautiful and comfortable day.

Well, we're pretty much done with the storm. I can see a few patches of blue in the sky from my office window. Seems like this general area got anywhere from 2 to 5 inches, depending on which town. I understand that other areas are getting pummeled, but for us, this didn't really count as a real Nor'easter.
