Re: The Weather
man i feel this. statistically WNY is something like 50+" over the historic average to this point in the year.
But for the most part it has only snowed 3 times all winter.
Granted 2 of the worst we've ever had but just one normal winter 5" drop - each time all the ground snow was gone within a week or so. it's definitely not right.

Re: The Weather
For the past 12 or so years, I’ve gotten significantly more snow in NJ than my parents in Binghamton, which was highly unusual, as Binghamton used to get hit with lake effect storms and was considered to be in the NY “snow belt.” This year, I haven’t even needed a shovel once. Had a dusting once, and a day or two with a dusting on the grass but nothing on the streets or driveway. Curious if my area has ever gone a full Winter without snow.DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 9:36 amThree or so hours east of you, we are well below average.MaxWebster wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 7:52 am man i feel this. statistically WNY is something like 50+" over the historic average to this point in the year.

Re: The Weather
I was just checking how long Philly's snowless streak was, but apparently we broke it on Feb 1st, with a whopping 0.3 inches of snow. First time in 325 days there was "measurable snow," where we got 0.4 inches in mid-March 2022. I can't find the last time we got a full 1 inch of snow. Oh, and it's going to be in the 60s the next three days here.The Sybian wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 10:48 amFor the past 12 or so years, I’ve gotten significantly more snow in NJ than my parents in Binghamton, which was highly unusual, as Binghamton used to get hit with lake effect storms and was considered to be in the NY “snow belt.” This year, I haven’t even needed a shovel once.

Meanwhile, this is the first time in a long time that I am completely ready for winter to be over, and its only mid-February.

I’ve literally only had T snowfalls here (trace). Nothing measurable.

Re: The Weather
Woke up this morning to snow in my backyard. I think school and work had delayed reporting. People don't seem too peeved by it either.

Re: The Weather
That's more snow than I've seen all year. Went out to get lunch, no jacket and very comfortable. Half the people on the street were in winter jackets. I would have grabbed a heavier coat if my wife didn't mention it's supposed to hit 60 today.

Re: The Weather
I love a good food hall too. Biggest traveling misstep of 2022 was eating lunch before we found out Harrisburg had a really good one.
Re: The Weather
Doesn't every city have some sort of food hall these days?

It is a rapidly growing trend. Hell, Rockville has 2 of 'em. (One is Asian focused, the other is more general fare. Both quite good.)
We loved the one in Boston. And it's right next to Trillium, so that was an added bonus.

Re: The Weather
Yeah definitely pushing toward more bad ones than good. Seems like many new developments have some sort of food hall concept. And many/all of the establishments are of the same ownership or run by landlord/owner which defeats some of the variety.
Re: The Weather
They've def been around long enough that the restauranteurs in them know that they can now charge sit-down-restaurant prices. (Like food trucks, they used to be a 'deal'.)

Re: The Weather
As noted it's been a mild winter around here, and it's been in the 60s all week. But it's supposed to hit the 20s tonight and tomorrow night and from what I've seen in my backyard some spring plants and baby slugs are going to regret waking up early.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: The Weather
Its kind of a segue so I'm going to admit here that my oldest asked me how flies came back when the weather gets warmer and I had to admit I didn't know if it was hibernation, legacy eggs, migration, whatever.

Forecast here is for 10-12 inches of snow between 7pm and 6 am, 40 mph winds and potential thunder snow (which I've never seen).

Re: The Weather
I got stuck for two hours Wednesday in an honest-to-goodness whiteout while driving up to Tahoe which I had never seen before, not even after 35 years of living in Michigan. Trying to drive was impossible so traffic on the highway just essentially stopped.
Tahoe got two feet of snow from the same storm and is supposed to get another two feet (with 8 to 10 feet forecasted for the mountains which will lead to serious avalanche possibilities) starting later tomorrow, so I'm getting the fuck out of here tomorrow morning.
Going to Death Valley on Sunday which is experiencing a wildflower superbloom which only happens once every two decades or so, so there's one good thing about this fucked up winter.

Re: The Weather
We’ve had more rain this winter here in the bay area than we’ve had in decades. And now an atmospheric river full of rain (and feet of snow in the Sierras) is on the way for Thursday and Friday. If this keeps up, somebody is gonna have to build an ark.
Could put this map in the cock-and-balls thread.

So, rain and high winds yesterday and today. A tree branch smacked a power line up the street and we were without power for about 15 hours. Just got restored. Man, you just don’t appreciate modern convenience like electricity until it’s denied to you.

Re: The Weather
While i was in CA, we had a pretty bad windstorm. Our house lost power for about 30 hours. Had some friends who were without for over 4 days. It was pretty weird for people here, for me not so much!
