Topic: Snow!! Posted: 12-Nov-2013 at 08:39 |
It's snowing to beat the band here. It's been going on now for over an hour. It's only sticking to things like the patio chairs.
Also the leaves still on the trees. That could be a problem if it keeps up. The leaves have turned, but haven't dropped yet.
Realize first that I mowed the lawn 2 days ago. This mess was unexpected, and very unseasonal. Usually we don't get anything like this for another month.

That's strange. I live in the south of England and we still haven't seen any snow. Where exactly do you live in the US?

While you are struggling with snow, we are enjoying with the last flowers of the year in Istanbul (my balcony)

It's sunny and 61 F outside, here at 7,000 feet up in the Colorado Rockies! Must be a New Jersey thing.

Dahlias, Ollios I'm envious. I cut ours back and lifted the tubers 2 weeks ago.

Well, the snow only lasted for about an hour. However, this am the temp when I got up was 22F. Had to put the coat on the collie when I let her out. Considering that 3 days ago I was still picking veggies from the garden, that's quite a shift. I was hoping for a more gradual seasonal change.

Probably...I was terribly snowed in, lost net and the power stopped 3 times last night. I live in a snow belt, so...like 5 trees broke down with wet snow and hit the power line. The power workers said they had 44 more alerts...in 3 am!

Is this a regular snow/cold wave which comes nearly same times in every year? and is the name of this snow wave Turkey? (Turkey(bird) because it comes nearly Thanksgiving)

Don't know if they named this storm. They started naming "winter" storms 2 years ago. What we call a storm like this here is a "Nor' Easter". They have a large area of circulation which sucks down the Arctic air. Sandy, the storm that hit us here last year was actually a North Easter. One on steroids, but still a N Easter. They sometimes call that a "Canadian Clipper" as well. However, if your in the exterior maintenance bus., it's called a pain in the a**. Try rounding up a decent snow crew TG Morning.

A Storm Update. This isn't fun. We are having wind gusts to 60-70 mph. I just stepped outside and could hear trees snapping.

In the daylight it isn't as bad as it sounded last night. Some branches down, but no major damage I can see.
The wind has settled down enough to allow the Balloons to be used at the Macy's Parade.

It is not like hurricanes, for example we have swallow storm just because same week with swallow migration or indian summer(we call it differently), it is regular. BTW his Istanbul was cold today too but not snowy
