Seems the whole winter has been "not snow" but other "wintry mix."
That's my fault. I bought a new clutch cable for the snowblower.
Instead of using my fancy shmancy snowblower I've had to use a ton of salt because it's been all slush and ice. I've already gone through 150#.That's my fault. I bought a new clutch cable for the snowblower.
Icing. A major route into Boston (Storrow Drive) was just closed because of icing conditions.
We are only getting 3-6" from that mess. Yesterday we had snow, sleet, freezing rain (this year's norm), today it's in the mid-40's and the big storm for tomorrow. Crazy year.
Snow is for tomorrow here. Blizzard.
You know that part of central Mass they keep pointing too saying they weill be getting at least ten but they won't put an upper limit on it. Yep, that's where I am.
They have upped their guess to 4-7", I'll measure as I shovel since 'they' seem to not be sure what's coming!
I'm putting my money down on over a foot by the evening commute. Never a bookie around when you need one. The truly, truly weird thing is we got up to the mid-forties temperature wise and the fifties in some places earlier today. The forecast for when I go back back to work at 11:00 PM Thursday calls for sub-zero wind chills.
I'm right in the middle of that red blob expecting now 16-20 inches.
It's just starting now, you should see it soon @dontpanicbobby.
They've upped me to 10", still better than your big red blob. Hunker down. I have at least 4-5" already I think. At least it's light and fluffy so shoveling won't be awful.
I've got to get outside and top off the bird feeders before access gets buried. Other than that, no one is going anywhere, so I'll wait until this afternoon to clean up.
Just measured while out w/the dogs, closer to 6" already. I had to take my feeders down the other day, had a tufted titmouse with finch eye disease Notified DEC, the were surprised and I'm not sure they believed me, even though I sent pictures. Poor little bird. Ugh. The other birds are not happy right now with no food and a lot of snow out there. Ugh.

Here is just after it started (i.e. now).
Yup, snow.
You guys take care and be safe. It looks pretty but I hate the stuff!

Here in KC we're riding the roller coaster. Been 40-50 early in the week, 30 yesterday with wind chills in the teens and 20s. Today 18 degrees currently but expecting 60s tomorrow and Saturday. Oh then back down to 40s and back up from there. I keep getting that "lost my tummy" feeling from all the ups and downs.
About 2 1/2 hours ago, enough for sledding. 3-4 inches.
And just a few minutes ago:
And now we are expecting "thunder snow." For those not familiar, it is just thunder and lightning during a snowstorm, and just like when you get a massive downpour following lightening in a thunderstorm, you can get several inches of snow in a very short time during thundersnow.

Still snowing here, has to be at least 9" now and the wind is kicking up a bit.
Thundersnow! Jealous! I only recall seeing/hearing/having that once, really fun.

11" is the final total. We sure did need it and I'm in for the night so it's all good [emoji301][emoji300]
I wound up at around 12-14. Temps were a bit higher so it wasn't as fluffy. I would have actually preferred colder temps and more inches of snow as it's easier to clear. Oh well, I'm done now. Too dark for pics. All in all, this storm was a bit of a dud.
