we got a dusting of snow & slush overnight here in 'da burgh. snowing yet though not sticking. most despise snow. i friggin luv it! it's in the lower 30's now. we're so used to this here though
 
I'm getting the same as luvs. (About 40 miles N of the Burgh).

Mrs. Zoom is in the Phila area and was planning on coming home today. This weather has now pushed her travels to tomorrow.
 
No snow today for us but temps are hanging around just below the freezing mark. Good to get a frost in the ground before we get too much snow.
 
Yea Bill it stinks we made a round trip last night!
Rode up winterized the cabin and back all in a little over 12 hours and 450 miles on top of working 10 yesterday I am still beat! and i still have to unload the truck of stuff we brought home.
We have about 3" of wet snow/slush at home this morning it was just drizzling when we pulled off the top of the mountain at 1:00 am last night
 
New record for this date in Concord, NH 13.6" of snow beating the previous record set in 1952 of .2 ( that's point 2 ... )

About 8 " where I am.

The snow part sucks less than all 3 of my registered vehicles being out of service. Good thing the auto parts store delivers. ( on weekdays)
 
We ended up with about 5 inches and most of it is melting with the bright sun today. The drive back from Cooperstown last night was miserable. They were losing the battle with the salt and had started plowing on I-88. The slush was freezing and making the bridges real bad. West of Binghamton it melted down to mostly bare wet roads.
 
This is the worst time of year I think for driving in a storm. Between all the knuckled school teachers, old dudes driving around in priuses, paki's driving trans x transports who end up jack knifed after the first snowflake falls, and delivery boys driving around in their tauruses, the roads just aren't safe.
 
I have wondered how the Prius performs in snow. The northeast is full of the damm things. Can't imagine it was pleasant for them.

My last trip to CT I had at least four Prius owners try to race my Crossfire SRT6 on the interstate. I have no idea what they were trying to prove.

Idiots.

Wasn't it Mark Wahlberg in the movie the Other Guys that called Will Farrell's Prius "A Tampon on Wheels". I hate those cars. They all have Obama bumper stickers too. :yum:
 
To all you Prius bashing jerks::moon: I will be the first to say they don't like deeper snow because like all vehicles today they think we need a computer to tell the wheels when to go and stop. IF they took the traction assist out of the damn thing it would go alright with good diggers. The 9 months of the year when I get 45-55 mpg makes up for that. The winter time is what the suburban and pickup are for!

:yum: How do you really feel Mule? Open up and let us know. :wink:

Up here we have a joke. What's the difference between a porcupine and a Prius. With a porcupine, all the pricks are on the outside. Just yanking yer chain my friend, I heard you can take it. :wink:

How far up? Lot's in southern Vermont and NH. I live mid state VT and only got 1" and that is already gone. Temps in the mid 50-60 so I would say those that got it won't have it for long.

We got about 4-5 inches but it is almost all gone now. May have a little in shady spots but it is supposed to be in the 50's all week.

Guess you are on the list with Rusty and a few others now!:whistling:
 
Yup I'm sure it does suck having that much snow especially this earlly , so far we are enjoying a nice fall for once rather then going from triple digits to freezing temps .

This is the first year in awhile where the colors on the trees are perty , its 70 degrees right now, but that all comes to an end in the next 24 hours according to the forcast.

The nice thing about this year for me is since my wife retired I dont give a damn iffen it snows or not , it will eventually melt some day. :biggrin:
 
My place sits at 1980 ft. elevation so it ain't like I am a flatlander. That would be Rusty or Gatorboy as they are almost in the Chesapeake.:yum::yum:

That is why I use you as a bunion I'm a little higher at 2100ft

The top of the dam is 795 ft down in the park and there is major weather changes in that 1400 ft difference
