Hey it's snowing.


I can't believe it. The weather idiots ( is this too harsh?) :puzzled: got it right this time. It is snowing like mad. Every tree is hanging over with heavy white stuff. If it keeps up it might get ugly.

B-Roc -

It's not crap. Global warming doesn't preclude shifts in local or regional weather patterns that appear to counter a general warming trend. The Earth's a much more complex system than what is indicated in your back yard. But it looks like you have a quiver of snow kites and nothing for use on open water, so go get it! :)

WOW shortly after I started this thread the power went out. It just came back on at 7pm. 2pmSat-7pmSun. Not bad at all since there seemed to be much more damage then with the huricane in september. And then our power was out for a week.

Wildly different snow depths.
Wachusetts got up to 2 feet. http://www.youtube.com/user/WaWaWachusett?feature=mhum
Parts of New England got up to 3 feet http://www.nola.com/newsflash/index.ssf/story/power-restorat...
We got less than an inch but up the hill (3 houses away) they got 6 inches and the whole neighborhood lost power.
Towns around us cancelled school but not us. The kids are bummed out.



I love Nahant but rarely get there anymore.

Clear skies and 70 degrees here. We just got done with an "epic, bone chilling" cold front where the temp dipped down to the 40s at night. :rolleyes:

No wonder we moved out of New Jersey when I was a lad.
