    Cold Rain & Snow
    Biggest snowstorm of the season due to blow through these parts in about 24 hours. Probably upwards of a foot of snow. One good thing is that snow doesn't last long this time of year. In fact, I'm changing the snowies out on Friday. For better mileage.

    Hurricane conditions on the Cape have eased as Blizzard Nemo starts to move out. There is an astrological (monthly) high tide at 10am and barrier island communities like Hull are being highly urged to leave immediately. In Ma. there are no mandatory evac. orders allowed but you'd have to be pretty stupid to stay (I'm watching waves break on backyards). This has the official label "Blizzard" stamped on it as there were three or more continuous hours of sustained winds over 40mph. Peak gust 75mph. Worcester Ma., reporting 27.5 inches. Hartford and surrounding areas are unofficially reporting 36 plus inches. Most of central, eastern Ma. and southern NH & SE Maine are reporting 18-24". No subway in Boston today, never mind airport. Official Boston total 21.5" as of 8am. Hundreds of cars buried out on the Long Island Expressway. If you live in Tahoe or Steamboat Springs or Vail or other great ski area, they are great cause they get this kind of snow on an almost continual basis. No biggie. In the densely populated NE the power outages become increasingly serious as people need shelter who have electric heat. Currently there are 400,000 homes without power. Time to kick back, do some fine cooking and do a small amount of shoveling, it hasn't stopped blowing and drifting yet.

    Winter Storm Nemo continues it's relentless trek up the East Coast and in from the Great Lakes in a pincer modoement that will result in a storm that will blossom fully in the NY-NE area. Blizzard conditions with 24"-32" of snow will persist across Cape Cod and a narrow corridor from Boston to Providence. A weaker, but still potent ring will encompass Portland Me., inland 50 miles and then down to at least New Haven, if not New York.. The last time Boston faced a storm of this magnitude in the winter was around 2006 when a truly humongous storm dumped fifty inches of snow at Logan Airport. I know, I was there three days after and parkjing spaces were like polar caves. Ahhh, the winter. Better learn to it enjoy it before it enjoys you!

Pinwheel down the road like carnival rides on the road to work this morning, hoping that I just hadn't had my ticket punched for a session of bumper cars! Not supposed to be like this in NC, at least not unless you're in the mountains. I moved from New England for this?

Sounds like a typical commute for us! Fun isn't it? Although so far it has been way too mild. We need some snow!!! "It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"

Lived in Maine a good long while...I actually used to have fun, which is to say actually enjoy, driving on fresh snow as long as no one else was on the road. It's this ice stuff that is more typical around here that gets scary, and the fact that the road crews aren't very well-prepared to handle it (a generous appraisal of their preparedness, I assure you). Yesterday you just didn't know minute-to-minute if the road was ok or if it was a sheet of ice. And then there's the clueless drivers -- one truck blew by me going at least 80 mph, and a few miles later I was following traffic going 5-10 mph. Reasonable speed was somewhere in between. Anyway, we'd be happy to send the snow and cold weather to CO where it belongs!

Got it up here in Ontario, Canada too. Beautiful snow, fluffy & flaky, just the way we like it. Already had a few good skates on the pond after the first snap and I'm looking forward to this lunar eclipse. Gonna go trudge through the woods in my woolens and breathe the good air. Happy Solstice!!!!

I went up to Paddy O'Quigley's, the other day, for a pint and met up with a bloody British chap who said airport runways were shut down for the first time he can remember, at both major London airports. Is the rest of Europe experiencing an early winter too? Y'all must be getting the snow that we're not getting here in Kansas City....

Well, I made it throught the blizzard at Heathrow last week and said "That's it, no more traveling!" Yet here I am am at home in Vermont with a wicked Nor'easter dropping a full 12" or more and making life a little less delightful. I think we can look forwad to more of the same all winter and in future winters. It''s a trend! I used to love it more when I did outdoor winter sports (besides cleaning the car and driving to work!)

Cold and dry just became cold and snowy: from Manhattan, KS to Columbia, MO, anywhere from 5" to 9" blanketed the ground. Shoveling the drive off took an hour, then the slow drive to work...whew, time for a nap... and a cookie!!

North Carolina hasn't exactly been a joy this winter season (a white Christmas even!), especially if you are in the mountains (I'm not). But then again, I've got nothing to complain about when you stack it up against minus-anything F for a temperature. Stay warm, folks!

That the storm front caused by the Europe '72 brouhaha subsides and we see calmer weather in these parts come next week. Looks like high '50s and sunny for my part of NC this weekend, hoping that some of your snow gets to melt away, unkle sam. I work with a guy from Boone and they've had something like 19 snow days for school kids already this season. Not fun at all.
