Northern weather

Ok, not many read.

And even fewer read critically/analytically.

It's much easier and much more comfortable to search for an echo chamber on the internet and bask in the blissful ignorance of herd mentality. Especially when you can pick a herd of your own "kind".

No Milton (come to think of it, I do not recall ever reading Milton) but I am now re-reading all of W. L. Shirer's books. Hopefully, I can find my copy of "The Nightmare Years" so I can continue with his autobiography.

NWS has dropped their accumulation call for us, now down to 5-8 inches. Works for me. Hopefully we don't get too much ice, which tends to break limbs out of an old white pine I have on the corner of the property.

The watering-hole a block from my place is temporarily closed for a Covid scare. It's too bad, as we have a long-standing tradition here to meet the neighbors for a stiffener after the first shoveling session.

I expect that we'll see a few flakes and get mainly rain. Hope no ice.....

Weather bomb "predicted" earlier this week had us getting 1-6". We are currently getting light flurries as in its melting as soon as it gets near the ground. The same crap is moving into western/central PA right now.

There is something that is flagged as "lavender" on the weather radar. I didn't know it could do "lavender", I've seen purple before. The lavender formation has a mass of pink on the north edge, very fashionable color scheme. I THINK these are supposed to be rain, possibly heavy? That used to be green, yellow, orange, red, dark red/brown and finally black (swimming lessons anyone?). Blue, violet, white used to be snow or snow mix.

Lavender????

Snowing nice and steady here; everything is just about white.

Since I don't HAVE to shovel/snow blow in the dark to try to drive to work on icy roads I've come to appreciate it more. Not quite like when I was a kid, but pretty close.

Got the weeks shopping done by 9:30, should be good for another week, maybe two.

A bit more than seven inches...the freezing rain beat it down a bit:



The white pine (pinus strobus) came through relatively unscathed...no downed limbs to deal with.

5 inches that includes 2 of sleet. By 7 pm it was a non event. Somehow it skirted us. Towns to the north by 10 miles got hammered.

We got 10" here in Western PA.
