Ok now this is getting retarded. I've lived in places where it has snowed more, albeit briefly, but not almost in March. Something like this happening in say, November wouldnt put me off as much, or this happening when I lived in the mountains (Star Lake and yes NY has mountains).
It rained for a bunch of days, which isnt shocking around here (we are more overcast than Seattle, and get about as must precipitation). Then it snowed, kinda queer, for the end of January. Then it blizzarded, which was also kinda queer but not crazy. Then it snowed again, so I took some pics.
Then... It snowed again? So some more pics...
Then it snowed last night (no pics).
Now it is BLIZZARDING AGAIN.
It is also COLD-COLD. Now for you southerners to explain the difference between cold and COLD. For it to snow it has to be cold outside. This is in the 10-20 range (20-30 not being much different than 30+). One can adapt to it and it feels ok to go outside in a jacket and pants. Now COLD is the 5-10F range. This is when your nostrils freeze when you inhale, and by which I mean they actually stick together and you get dehydrated if you breathe the air too long, one can get used to it for short periods. COLD-COLD is -20 - 5F (these temps dont take into account windchill so assume about another -40% for that if you like) this is when spit freezes before it hits the ground. It is a thouroughly uncomfortable temperature range. You will get ill breathing the air, you cannot do much because if you wear enough clothes to stay warm in this weather you will sweat if your heartrate gets up, and if you sweat you will not stay warm.
For the record I'd be better off in Moscow than here:
High: 14° F
Chance precip: 20%
Cloudy skies early, followed by partial clearing. Cold. High 14F.
Syracuse* NY:
High
21° F
Precip: 100%
Snow along with gusty winds at times. High 21F. Winds W at 20 to 30 mph. Snow accumulating 3 to 5 inches. Heavier amounts in persistent snowbands.
Current weather advisory says:
My property abuts the northern edge of the thruway kekeke. Snowbands btw are impromptu blizzards where the wind whips up to 50mph and snow hits at the same time. You can literally drive through multiples of them in a few miles. Blue sky, whiteout, blue sky, whiteout.
Couldnt say how much snow is out there because it settles during the day and weather.com there says 2inches. Since it's up to my chest Im just going to ignore them. It's been well over 10ft and about 2 feet tonight. Around the house, it is up to the windows (9ft over the ground) and in the windswept yard it is up to about my neck (5'5").
I'm bored.
Edit: no idea why the pics arent auto-resizing
