Got some..........

We had light snow all day, but it really didn't amount up to much.  The big plus that I noticed, is there really isn't to many people out giving it the old college try.  So things are getting a chance to freeze down with the colder temps we have seen today.

Hope everyone has a Happy and Safe New Years Eve!

Something different...........

The video for today is of something you may only see once in a life time.  As for the weather, it all depends on where the lake effect sets up and how long it sticks around, if we'll be riding this weekend or not.  It did get above freezing today, but we didn't have a total melt down from it.

Got some............

The main part of the front/storm is past us and we got about 3" from it.  Not much, but it's good wet snow for making base.  The thing that I'm really watching, is whats going to happen starting Thursday.  We could be talking feet, not inches for snow totals.

It's on our doorstep...........

At 8:40pm the snow line is just to our south and it looks like snow all night.  You'll see in the video that we had a dusting of snow over night and our temps have been below freezing all day.  So things have started to  freeze down some today.  The big question is, what will we see when it's all said and done.  I'm hoping we see the snow and ice pellets.  That would be a better base starter than just plain snow.  But we don't need to see any freezing R.  That's not good for anything, beside OT for the line and tree crews.

Looks like............

Pretty many people asked Santa for a  trade in gifts.  Because the forecast looks like the temps are going to drop next week.

Now I know...........

What it's like to spend Christmas in Florida.  We hit 60 today, but the long range forecast is calling for the temps to start dropping next week.  So cross your fingers and ask Santa to keep one of your gifts. In it's place ask him for cold temps and snow.  Over the years, I have rolled out new things around Christmas time. This year I have mostly done things that you can't really see, but things that keep everything up and running smoothly.  There is one thing that you can see and I'm surprised no one has said anything about it.  Who knows what it is?

It was........

Looking like Christmas, but I don't think it's going to for long.  When I starting working on this report there  was light snow in the air, but now it's changed over to R and it doesn't look like it's going to get any better soon.  So let's focus on the upcoming holiday and all the fun it has to offer.  Because letting this weather bring you down, isn't going to change anything.  All it will do is make you a Scrooge.

Got it..............

For now...but for how long is the big question.  One thing is for sure, it really has made it look like Christmas around here.  This lake effect event has been in our area and to the south for the most part.  North of us didn't get that much and there are some areas over on the hill that have seen two feet so far.  Out front we are just short of a foot at 6pm.  They are calling for lake effect till Sunday morning.  So only time will tell on how much we will see when it's all said and done.

Fun Weekend...........

It's always a toss up on Snodeo weekend if you'll be able to ride or not.  This year it was a not, but everyone still had a great weekend and now it's time for the waiting game.  Waiting for that first good dump, so we all can get out and ride.  It looks like there is some snow coming, but will it stick around is the question.

Snodeo 2015

Hard to believe it's Snodeo weekend already, you sure can't tell by the weather, that's for sure.  But you can by the amount of sled trailers that have been coming into town or by the vendors setting up at North Street for the show.  This isn't the first and I'm sure not the last Snodeo without riding.  But this may be the one to hold the record for the highest temp.  Looks like we're going to be in the 40's and maybe even hit 50 over the weekend.

It's trying.......

If you didn't see it, we've had some snow on and off today and it has been sticking to the cars and grass.  But as I'm sure you've also seen, it looks like another warm up this weekend.  So think of this weather pattern like this.  The warm temps are going to keep the great lakes that much warmer and when the cold air does settle in, the lake effect machine will be just that much stronger.  Hey it sounds good, so just go with it.

Let it snow.......

The snow stick is back up and I also put new lights on it.  A reminder for everyone, the pool fence is four feet high and the snow stick is five feet, with the foot markings being lite at every foot on the stick. How deep will it get this season?  Who the heck knows and only time will tell for sure.
