well, it ended up being another 20" here

on top of that, temps well below zero, high winds, and snow blowing all over the place.

I just drove home (hours after the snow officially stopped) and every once in a while this vortex of swirling snow crosses the road, you're stuck in a white void, and just have to hold your breath and hope for the best until you make it out the other side.

You're probably fed up with it, but I am desperate for some snow in London. There's been nothing but the lightest of dustings that barely qualified as snow - and I need to see snow to feel that we've had proper seasons.

Very disappointed thus far. Can you blow a bit this way please?

Trust me, you don't want this snow that we've had this year. I love snow. But not when it's so freezing cold and windy all the time it feels like Siberia. Seriously, I have never experienced anything like this. It's really disheartening. But still cool to look at...

I'm amazed that anything moves. Aren't you up to 75 inches for the month of Feb. now? (and the month is only half over.)

I think it's more than that, we got another 20 inches this last storm, up here (I'm north of Boston) but I don't think there are official totals yet

That must be getting really tedious.

 

[Miss Caphat]

That must be getting really tedious.

it's up to 95 inches total, even in Boston

and the saga continues. we had very strong winds throughout the night last night and so even after the roads had been cleared, it was like another storm because the snow was blowing everywhere and making lots of roads very sketchy...you drive for a few 100 feet and then bam, suddenly you're in a few inches of slippery, packed snow and ice.
And it's going to snow again throughout the day tomorrow.
And it's bitterly cold, with wind chills of 10-20 below 0 (F)

I just read that it hasn't gotten above freezing since the snow started 4 weeks ago

There is a bright spot on the horizon though...it might get to 34 (and some forecasts say 38!) on Sunday (although there's a chance of snow) but still, yay! It's going to feel like Spring!

had a mate across from NoCal/ Washington state- hes a BIG skiier- apparently the snow in washinton state has been virtually non existant- only lying between frequent uncharachteristic rain storms

Miss Caphat - have you done the #BostonBlizzardChallenge yet?

 

[Treacle Toes]

A friend of mine out for a walk in Buffalo NY today

 

[Miss Caphat]

Miss Caphat - have you done the #BostonBlizzardChallenge yet?

Nope! Not planning on it either. Though fortunately the temp has gone up a few degrees to the point where at least you wouldn't get instant hypothermia

As someone who fantasies about being snowed in I salute you!

I haven't had much luck with the snowshoes either this year. At least in Washington and Colorado you have legal pot to cope with a winter without snow.

Brr. Though I'm happy it's gotten warmer here and we have a couple more above freezing days in the forecast. Yippee!

 

[editor]

I bet there's still lots of this going on:

 

[Miss Caphat]

Found this today out behind the building where I work.

We got some major melting going on around here now, as it's finally been above freezing

 

[Miss Caphat]

that was actually pretty magical...you can't see in the video but there were all these little chutes of water that had been carved into the middle of that giant...um...ice mound? It looked like it would be fun to be tiny and ride inside it like a giant water slide. I kept going out to look at it all day.

Have you reached the snow record yet?

Keep hope. We're predicted to have 65 degree weather next week. It has to reach you a few days after that.

I think we did end up breaking the record, but I'm not sure what the totals were. we've had several small snowstorms since the big ones.

But, things are definitely getting better. This forecast for the next 10 days or so feels like early spring, and will cause a lot of melting. But not too fast. People are having a lot of damage and roof/ ceiling leakage already.
