February 12, 201016 yr In an odd turn of events, Montgomery AL where I just drove my grandparents from ended up getting more snow than we did here in MA.
February 12, 201016 yr The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this true-color image on February 7, 2010, showing part of the region affected by heavy snowfall. Snow blankets the area hundreds of kilometers inland from the Atlantic coastline. Along the latitude of New York City, however, snow cover thins considerably. Credit: NASA
February 12, 201016 yr LOL. It may be it. It has snowed thrice here in Madrid, something that hadn't happened since 1963 Is the planet really warming?
February 12, 201016 yr We've found proof in the glaciers up here that the temperature has fluctuated a lot in the last 1000 years so perhaps this could be normal. Things certainly took a turn for the worse up here after 1350 with temperatures plummeting and we are finally seeing the end of that mini "iceage" now.
February 13, 201016 yr Timelapse taken by one of the contributors to the randompictures feed I subscribe to.
February 13, 201016 yr Somebody told me that yesterday was the first day in recorded US weather history that snow was on the ground in all 50 states.
February 13, 201016 yr I think you meant 49 Ken. I haven't heard anything about Hawaiian snow. 49 states dusted with snow; Hawaii's the holdout - Yahoo! News
February 13, 201016 yr I'm just repeating what I heard. Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea usually have snow this time of the year. There is a small ski resort on Mauna Kea. Edit: Posted first and read the Yahoo article afterwards. I see it talks about Mauna Kea. Edited February 13, 201016 yr by guzziguy
February 13, 201016 yr Valdez, Alaska has the most annual snow in the USA, averaging 27 feet each winter. The record was set in 1989-90 with almost 44 feet.
February 13, 201016 yr I drove out into town today, the first time I've been out of my street in a week. 8 days to be precise. I don't think a 4 cylinder honda really counts as an SUV, but there's no way I'd have gotten out in a sedan. The streets have a tall cap of rock-hard snow thats been packed down, and I still can't tell if we were plowed at all or not. Cars on both sides of the roads and all sorts of rivets and uneven areas of the snow surface of the road made my car feel like the chassis was going to twist apart. It was worth it though, as I now have milk, cheese, eggs, etc......gonna get ready for more snow on Monday :rant::rant::rant::rant::rant::rant: If this keeps up much longer I'm not above punching people.
February 13, 201016 yr You forgot to get catfood, time to go back out. EDIT: That time-lapse pic is awesome.
February 15, 201016 yr Author They're forecasting 4-6 inches of snow here in Northern MA. Let's see if it actually snows that much this time around.
February 15, 201016 yr They're forecasting 4-6 inches of snow here in Northern MA. Let's see if it actually snows that much this time around. 2-4" here north of Boston. Hopefully it turns out like the last time they predicted this much.
February 16, 201016 yr Author Well, the storm delivered this time. I just finished shoveling my driveway and there were good 5 inches there. Hopefully, it actually tapers off per forecasts.
February 16, 201016 yr It's still coming down (sort of) here in WMass, but all we've got for accumulation is 2 inches or less.
February 16, 201016 yr Just finished clearing off the driveway here near Boston, probably around 4" so far and still falling. Roads are a mess.
February 16, 201016 yr I coulda cleared off the driveway before I left this morning, but I didn't feel breaking out the broom.
February 17, 201016 yr Solid 8" here, very heavy, huge pain in the ass to clear the driveway even with the snow blower.
February 17, 201016 yr Solid 8" here, very heavy, huge pain in the ass to clear the driveway even with the snow blower. Now imagine 4 feet
