Another Foot !!---And 18" more!!

[motocrash]

Here, we are in Mid-Brush fire fuel growing season, and lots of clouds and rain.
Looks like a bumper crop of brush fire fuel this year.

(And it's wreaking havoc with my astrophotography. :mad: )

Here's a few photos to tide you over.

From our local weather guru who actually does much better reports that the wack jobs over at the weather channel my area will be looking at 5-10". Hopefully its the lesser amount. None the less I blew my damn back out this weekend so I think my son is going to learn how to use the shovel and snow blower properly.

Yup---Looks like they're calling for another 6" to 12" here.
Gonna be another late Winter?
I remember the 20" of snow we got the first week of April, in either '78 or '79.

Then I remember the first day of Trout Season up in Wayne County on April 15th, when I had to dip my Rod into the stream every time before casting, because the line was frozen to the eyes!!!

Big storm here through Fryday.
2-4" rain expected.

People who live in the runoff of the bigger burned areas are, once again, under mandatory evacuations.
Why mandatory? Well, they don't have enough sense to get out of the way when warned too.
(These are the folks who drown when emptying their irrigation boots.)

This is how we grow Brush for Brush Fire Season. :rolleyes:
(Pretty typical weather for my region. Lots of Spring rain.)

I'm hoping the bad stuff misses everyone. I just saw my first real sign of spring here in Letchworth State Park today. The Turkey Vultures are back. Always a good sign spring is very close.

They just updated my totals from 5-10 to 2-6. Im hoping this thing pushes even further south and we dont get a drop of anything. It will be the start of our baseball season before our kids can actually get on a dry field. Not to mention the field work were not getting done because of how wet the field is.

Grandpa VanAllen always said, "Working the ground before it's ready is a waste of machinery."
Sometimes you just have to wait. :(

They raised ours to up to 8" of rain on Thursday.
Gonna be a gully washer if they get anywhere close on this system coming in.

Just checked again---Mine says:
Tonight------1" to 3".
Tomorrow during the Day------5" to 8".
Tomorrow Night------1" to 3".

That comes to 7" to 14" to add to our current 58" total.

Bear Jr took his Chocolate Lab "Diesel" to the Vet today, and had to leave him there, because if needed he might not be able to get him there tomorrow in an Emergency. Dang Storms!!!

Another Foot !!

So we got another Foot of Snow yesterday, from the second NorEaster to come through here in the last week.
We might not get as much snow as some areas, but we’re getting pretty tired of it, as we have already had 55” this year, which is at or slightly above our yearly average.

The only thing good about it, is it is quite Pretty to look at, so I figured I’d post some pictures for those who are somewhat “Snow Deprived”.


Enjoy,
Bear

It wasn't done yet, but here's a shot out the back Patio Door:

Hang in there John, it can't last forever! :rolleyes: We were just on the edge of this week's Nor'easter. but last weeks was a doozy, 18 plus inches when I measured it near the end.

Bear- Happy first day of spring!

I heard about it. Especially when we got there last weekend and found another foot plus. Here are the results.
Before,

After.

We hit near 48 degrees with sun on Sunday. Finished it off. I told her it's the last time. Yea, right.

 

[Bearcarver]

Holy Shoot !!!:eek:
It's coming down in Buckets now!!
When I look out my big front windows, it looks like the crowd at a Penn State Football game---A real "White-Out"!!!

Dropping about 2" per hour right now.

Best of luck for a short snowfall. It's hard to believe we're not getting any here.

Hi Dan!
We get some Beauties around here now & then, like a 36" and a 37" Doozy, but overall we can't compare to what you guys up there get often. I know because my Sister lived up in Rochester for more than 20 years. LOL---Now they live in NC.
Gotta just batten down the hatches & ride it out.

So far we've gotten... are you ready for this.... .08"! 8 Hundreths of an inch. (At my weather station)
And it ran off. Because the ground is saturated.
There will be no outside cooking today...

Here's a shot at our accumulation:


Death, Destruction, and Misery. :confused::eek::rolleyes:
Or brave weather reporters are broadcasting images of gutters. o_O

Yawn!
