cetoole Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuckledragger Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 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.

Fitz Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Snow twice in one winter in Atlanta? It must be a sign of the apocalypse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 LOL. It may be it. It has snowed thrice here in Madrid, something that hadn't happened since 1963 Is the planet really warming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 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.

guzziguy Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Somebody told me that yesterday was the first day in recorded US weather history that snow was on the ground in all 50 states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) 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.

justin Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 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.

Salt Peanuts Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 They're forecasting 4-6 inches of snow here in Northern MA. Let's see if it actually snows that much this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetoole Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 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.

Salt Peanuts Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuckledragger Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 It's still coming down (sort of) here in WMass, but all we've got for accumulation is 2 inches or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetoole Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Just finished clearing off the driveway here near Boston, probably around 4" so far and still falling. Roads are a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Solid 8" here, very heavy, huge pain in the ass to clear the driveway even with the snow blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
