Oh I'll probably go out at some point today. Our deck outside the living room needs to be cleared so we can fill up the bird feeder. We broke a record for the snowiest February.

We broke a record for the coldest February on record. I'm ever so fortunate that I discovered my broken heat ducts when I did. For this period last year, my heat bill for one month was $660 and it wasn't as cold. Was quite happy to receive my bill and see it only be $180.

And now that we're expecting a warming trend, they're calling for mass flooding. We already sit in a valley below lake level and have a difficult time getting rid of ground water.

As of now, it looks like we are going to see a repeat of the snow storm from 2 weeks ago. Six of seven models show significant snow for Louisville on Wednesday, ranging from 4-12 inches. The snow is just now finally melting from the sunny places. The dogs have their pooping areas back. Our little Puggy doesn't like his junk in the snow.

Oh, suppose to be 60 degrees tomorrow on Tuesday.

Poor Puggy. We got 6" last night and the snow mounted well above my junk long ago.

You are hanging low. No, you guys have had like 60 inches this winter?

lol.

I think we have had about 50" so far and it's all still there but compacted a bit. Rain expected on Wednesday. I want it all melted by the time we return from our venture to Palm Springs to check out our possible new digs in a year or most likely two.

Can't wait to escape!

Miss Philicia · « **Reply #457 on:** March 02, 2015, 09:10:26 pm »

I hope everyone realizes yet another big storm is coming: Wednesday afternoon through Thursday. I've seen predictions for DC to NYC for 8 inches, and up to 12 inches in the Ohio River area (Louisville to Pittsburgh). New England is getting off easy this time with perhaps only 4-8".

edit: never mind I see this has been discussed

You have had it pretty easy this winter as far as snow goes. We had 6" yesterday, 2" more expected tonight, and 4-8" more tomorrow night. That should bring us up to around 60". Fair? Hmmm..... lol.

Here is our igloo birdhouse. Baby it's cold outside!

NWS updated forecast -- I suppose I can live with this. However our local newspaper meteorologist is saying 4-6" and higher totals to the south.

My parents in northern Virginia actually have it worse with 6-10"

mitch777 · « **Reply #465 on:** March 04, 2015, 04:50:37 pm »

Glad to hear you are not getting buried MP. Even more glad that we will not see too much ourselves.

Thanks Wade. I love the porches too, until it comes to painting.

So... I just went out to check for mail and someone or something stole his carrot nose! No where to be found.

Miss Philicia · « **Reply #466 on:** March 05, 2015, 07:05:53 am »

Not getting buried but supposedly this will NOT be a light powdery snow, but a heavy wet one. We were supposed to change over from rain to snow at 1am but evidently it didn't happen until 6am, but everyone is still sticking to their 4-8" forecast. Maybe I will go out and shovel half way through the event so that it will be easier on my back.

That's what we got and it's horrible. Once the temps dropped, the roads were like a skating ring. Heading home from this work this morning was a bit terrifying. Even with 4 wheel drive, I could barely maintain control even driving at 15mph. We don't go into ditches, we roll down ravines....

But we're hitting 60 this coming week.

I got rid of my Toyota pick up after the first blizzard,
Had front wheel dr. It was old ,stick shift, but I loved driving it. Came in handy too! But was horrible in the snow.

Ended up with a Honda CRV
with AWD or I wouldn't be going no place !
the main roads stay cleared, but the back road are an icy mess
The snow needs to stop !

Miss Philicia · « **Reply #473 on:** March 05, 2015, 02:35:43 pm »

I just went out and did some shoveling. There was at least six inches already and now they're saying we will have 8-11 inches by the time it ends at 8PM.

It was too little to drag the thing out. And yes, Kenny has had a rough winter but I think he secretly enjoys it. Works for me.

Yes. But I've not seen what our official total is yet.

edit: 6.5-8.5" depending on which part of the city. I'm probably in the middle so 7.5"

Miss Philicia · « **Reply #476 on:** March 05, 2015, 08:12:16 pm »

I will also add that today's snow put us over our annual average of 22". We're now at 23.3" winter-to-date.

tednlou2 · « **Reply #478 on:** March 05, 2015, 08:20:11 pm »

We got about 14.5 inches at my house. Highest was about 25". First time since 1978, we've gotten two winter storms more than 8". Going down to -10 tonight or lower. Climate Change is a hoax. I mean, how could there be snow, if it was real?

The dogs wanted us to clear a path this morning. Here's Brian making a bathroom.

Here's Charlie, who wasn't happy with the cleared spot.

And, the fish were actually out. They thought winter was done.

Worst winter on the cape since the 70s too !

Yep. Koi and Goldfish are cold water tolerant. They just need at least 18 inches depth here. They have been swimming around more the last month. Can't feed them until the water temp is 50 degrees, though.

Miss Philicia · « **Reply #484 on:** March 08, 2015, 07:02:03 am »

This is magical! From this afternoon through the foreseeable future (OK, well 10 day forecast) not only will we have absolutely no low overnight temperatures below freezing, our daytime highs will all be +50F except for next Friday (44F). We may even reach 60F on Wednesday.

Of course I really shouldn't find this exciting because all it represents is a return to historical averages for this time of year (highs of 51F, lows of 33F).

Wade · « **Reply #485 on:** March 08, 2015, 08:02:58 am »

We are still a little cooler here, but above freezing also,
Most important no snow in our 10 day forecast !
Time for a Spring thread...

mitch777 · « **Reply #486 on:** March 09, 2015, 10:32:49 am »

There is still 3 feet of snow here and we are about to say goodbye to it all to scope out Palm Springs for a possible relocation down the road. (probably 18 months) I hope that I/we won't be disappointed but who knows.

Anyway, so long sub-freezing temps, so long icicles hanging out our kitchen window, so long Frosty, so long snow shovel. Hope to not see you all until at least December!! I doubt all of the snow will be gone by the time we return but one can hope anyway.

Palm Springs forecast calls for sunny days and temps between 85-90F. Just the therapy needed about now.

Miss Philicia · « **Reply #489 on:** March 20, 2015, 06:02:20 am »

Final send off to winter! Spring arrives today at 6:45PM.

And it's 36F right now at 6am. I can see the storm nearing on radar and it's snowing as far south as my parent's in northern Virginia, but rain south of that. On the plus side it will be +50F tomorrow so it will melt quickly.

Miss Philicia · « **Reply #492 on:** March 20, 2015, 02:21:45 pm »

About 2 hours ago the airport reading was at one inch but it's been snowing since around 7am. It only began to stick to the pavement in the past hour though, and I think it's supposed to stop around 6pm. More of a nuisance event here downtown but I know in the western suburbs the totals are more like 4 inches already.

Miss Philicia · « **Reply #493 on:** March 20, 2015, 10:15:08 pm »

Official count at the airport today was 2.2" of snow though in Media, PA a mere 13 miles directly west of me scored 6.1"

Wade · « **Reply #494 on:** March 21, 2015, 09:20:42 am »

Well.... So much for seeing the ground.
We got another inch last night , getting a rain mix now,
hopefully it will melt before it freezes!
