The view from my front door, April snow (pic)

[qnr]

This is in Augusta, Maine. Snowing anywhere else tonight?

[Gormy Cuss]

1. Light dusting, eh?

Cool looking, as long as it stops NOW.

Didn't realize you were a Mainiac. I have family in Augusta. :hi:

[qnr]

2. It's a little heavier now, maybe 3 inches. Actually, it has been snowing

all day, on and off, but didn't start to accumulate until recently.

:hi:

[qnr]

3. I'm going out for a walk, I'll yell a general "Hi" to your family... It's waaay

too quiet out there :evilgrin:

[u4ic]

4. Yep, in Edmonton

It's been snowing for the past 3 days. x(

[qnr]

6. 3 days now too, but only because it is 0:02 :)

Generally pretty mild recently, and it was a mixture of snow and rain on Tuesday.

[u4ic]

19. Ours is fairly light

more than what you have - but it's not welcome, considering the snow from October just finally melted in the past couple of weeks.

At least it's light out till 8 pm now - the days will be getting much longer, warmer and brighter very soon. :bounce:

[qnr]

25. This is true :) n/t

[Redstone]

5. Welcome to Spring in New England! Isn't it delightful?

Redstone

[qnr]

7. Yup, actually, it's slightly comforting, haven't spent my first years

in Buffalo, NY

[Redstone]

11. Whoa. THAT will give you some perspective, won't it?

Redstone

8. I know it's weird...

but sometimes I kinda like the spring snow. It never lasts as long, isn't as cold and it sticks to the trees better (here nothing ever sticks to anything except the evergreens). Sometimes it's purty.

And look at that snow sky. Bundle up, find a good book and light the fireplace, Doll...it ain't done with you yet.

[qnr]

12. Yeah, well luckily I enjoy it too. I'm pretty much the only one out

and about, enjoying walks through it tonight. :)

[reyd reid reed]

20. Is it still snowing or is it taking a break?

Y'know what I like about being out in it? The quiet. It's a different, more intense quiet.

[qnr]

24. Still snowing. I just got back in. Yeah, I love the quiet too, except

it gives me time to think about how much I miss my boys (dogs), and how we used to romp in it

[reyd reid reed]

29. Ah.

But those are good memories, aren't they? The warm fuzzy kind? The kind that makes you smile when you're completely alone.

Enjoy them. They might be bittersweet, but bittersweet has its time and place. And sounds like a quiet walk through the snow is just the place for those memories.

[qnr]

31. Ah - so true. I do enjoy them, thanks

:hug:

[realisticphish]

9. Yep

Columbus, OH. At least it was snowing earlier.

Motherfucking FORTY DEGREE DROP in 1 night. Yesterday, it was 85. today, 42

[qnr]

13. Wow, that is quite a drop. We were in the sixties earlier, last time I looked

at the thermometer it was 18 or so. Note that that is earlier in the week, it didn't drop that far in one day.

[Left Is Write]

10. No snow here.

Temp was 73-ish this afternoon.

[qnr]

14. OK, let me know if you want me to ship you some. We have the technology

(borrowed from lobster shippers, of course).

[sasquatch]

15. A few fluries in Ohio but not much

[qnr]

16. A little added moisture never hurts :) n/t

[anti-everything]

17. Nope, but we got a foot of snow yesterday.

Duluth, MN

[qnr]

18. Ugh, must be messy today :/ n/t

[anti-everything]

21. Not too bad,

nothing we're not used to in northern Minnesota. I like the snow, actaully.

[qnr]

26. Me too. But it always seems so much nicer before the plowing and

the traffic.

[anti-everything]

34. Yeah, a fresh snow cover

is much better looking than dirty plowed snow.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. There's a chance of snow showers for the DC area Friday and Saturday...

I hope my tulips don't die.

[qnr]

28. Ugh -- hopefully it will pass you and the tulips by :/ n/t

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. My dear qnr...

Now that's pretty!

Nothing like that anywhere near here, SoCal...

:hi:

[qnr]

30. Thanks :) - hope your adventure on the treadmill went well today. I get

them too... fun fun fun :) :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. Thanks! I did well indeed........

:hi:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

27. Great pic!

:thumbsup:

[qnr]

32. Thanks! :) n/t

[Breeze54]

35. We had some snow/ice pellets mixed with rain.

It started as thick ice pellets, pinging off my car.
But turned to rain...typical New England spring. ;)

BOSTON --

Well, winter will not let go just yet. It's actually something that happens fairly
often... we see some snow in April.

Wednesday afternoon featured a burst of heavy, wet snow just below the Ma. Pike,
along the Ma. Pike from Worcester to Boston, and across the North Shore and on up
into New Hampshire and Maine. In the 128 to 495 belt, 1/2" to 1"+ of wet snow accumulated.

However, the rain/snow line then moved northward on up into New Hampshire, but then
started to move back into Ma., and reached Worcester a little before midnight, with
precipitation mixing with sleet and snow in the 128 to 495 belt after midnight as a
low pressure system intensified rapidly and passed just east of Boston during the wee
hours of the morning.

Significant precipitation will end in all areas before the Thursday morning commute
with nothing more than a little slush possible in Boston on grassy surfaces.

But, snowfall accumulations will range up to 1-2" between 128 and 495.

2-4" north and west of route 495, especially the Worcester Hills up toward Nashua, N.H.,
and 4-8" or more from Concord New Hampshire across to Portland Maine with the risk of
downed tree limbs and possibly trees, which could cause power outages, because of the
heavy, wet nature of the snow.

6-12" will likely fall across the ski areas of Northern New England.

Looks like you may be on the way to that 6" to 12"!!

Pretty pic! Stay warm! ;)

[qnr]

36. Thanks, will do (just managed to get our thermostat fixed a couple

of days ago)
