Which is exactly 18" more than we got. Other than the little we got a couple weeks ago there has been zero snow this season. We did get
some last year in Febuary but it doesn't look like it'll happen this
year. :::knock on wood:::

It was almost perfect here. A bit on the humid side which impacted
the clarity a tad, but considering the normal cloudy/rainy for the
time of year this was as amazing as we could ever expect.
continue to have dribs and drabs of snow.....
and got hit bad with the polar vortex

We got a dusting overnight. More predicted too. On the plus side it doesn't look heavy enough to cause any damage. :::knock on wood:::

It's been at the top of the news here. We're supposed to get a small taste of it over the next couple of days except here it is called
"arctic outflow" via mountain passes on the mainland. Tonight is predicted to drop to -6C-ish which is nowhere near as cold as what
they are seeing out east. Overnight should be the worst of it with
this latest bout with winter.
We're past the worst again....

Mother Nature is still giving us the cold shoulder. I like the sounds
of you current temps as 40F is more or less the normal for this time
of year in this neck of the woods.
No snow since Monday but given the sub zero temps (<-in C of course)
there is a chance of getting more dustings later this week.
Personally I would prefer the higher average temps and the usual rain.
I much prefer snow
although I heard something about high winds, rain and possible
thunder overnight tonight.

Not me unless of course we're talking about freezing rain which I
wasn't.
Wet and above freezing cold is normal for this time of year.
What we're experiencing now is not the norm for Febuary although snow
in Febuary isn't unheard of ... it's just not normal. The gale force winds predicted for just south of us is what has me nervous,
especially if the snow is heavy and wet. :::shudder:::
although I heard something about high winds, rain and possible
thunder overnight tonight.
Minus the thunder, it sounds like our forecast for overnight until Saturday. Also replace rain with snow although here at sea level it
could fall as rain. The high winds have got me spooked.
Heavy wet snow isn't much fun either.... and can be almost as bad
as an ice storm....
Hope yours weren't too bad, and your precipitation was rain

So far, other than all the snow accumulating, we've been pretty lucky given that we're number one as far as amount of snow is concerned. :::knock on wood:::

No such luck but at least we've still got power. :::knock on wood:::
So at least you get bragging rights...
still having power is a very good thing

I'll reserve them until Saturday after storm three is supposedly over before cashing in any bragging rights. At this point in time it looks like we've already broken all snow records. Methinks this next storm
is probably overkill.

Yes it is, especially since it is impossible to get out and being
snowed in alone without distractions would be a very bad thing. As we speak it is dark outside as well as cold and I'd much rather it stay
out.
Hopefully you've stayed warm... :) And the lights have stayed
on.... :)

Yes and yes. The weather gurus are predicting this weather (cold and potential snow) will hang on for the rest of the month so we're not
out of the woods yet.
In that case, stay warm and safe

That is the plan. You too. :-)
