How much snow you got in Crown Point Hank?


Not much at all, it's just enough to screw up the commutes. Had to drive around on Sunday in it and then to the airport on Monday and then around the Philly area yesterday, snowy commute this morning and then again tomorrow. I get that its winter and all but is it too much to ask to just be cold and not snow every day...

:lol: Just sayin! Its not winter yet, and this sucks. Normally it doesn't get this cold for a prolonged stretch like this until January. The last 3 weeks or so have been brutal.

I'm very worried what January is going to be like after the start we have right now.

Quote:
LEWISTON, MaineThe Farmers' Almanac is using words like "piercing cold," "bitterly cold" and "biting cold" to describe the upcoming winter. And if its predictions are right, the first outdoor Super Bowl in years will be a messy "Storm Bowl."

The 197-year-old publication that hits newsstands Monday predicts a winter storm will hit the Northeast around the time the Super Bowl is played at MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands in New Jersey. It also predicts a colder-than-normal winter for two-thirds of the country and heavy snowfall in the Midwest, Great Lakes and New England.

"We're using a very strong four-letter word to describe this winter, which is C-O-L-D. It's going to be very cold," said Sandi Duncan, managing editor.

Based on planetary positions, sunspots and lunar cycles, the almanac's secret formula is largely unchanged since founder David Young published the first almanac in 1818.

I wonder if that snow was given a special invite because there are quite a few storms that are not welcome there.

Speaking of which .... over on the 720 airwaves, there were more than passing words about this weekend including some (apparently) notable snow storms and totals ("all the models agree" etc.).

Take it for what it's worth.

NIU's guy, who is pretty good says that once this storm gets on shore, IF all factors work together it will be a big storm. but he also says there's a lot that can change that.

Fudge. My stepbrother is flying into Chicago, Saturday morning. I'm picking him up, then we're heading to Three Floyd's to celebrate his 21st birthday. This friggin' storm better not screw up our plans. Don't make me go all Diane-in-7A on this bitch.

Looked up Skilling could be anywhere from 2" to 10" which, ironically, is the same pick-up line I used throughout college.

Snowfall totals are incredibly hard to accurately predict. Look at the hi temps on Sat on Sun, weather.gov has them at 34 and 32 respectively. If those temps change even a degree or two, that could be the difference between 1/2 an inch of rain, or 6" of snow.

Skilling's 2-10" silly though. Its like the cable guy. We'll be there between 9 and 1, or we'll be there between 2 and 6.
