Winter Storrm Grayson

[bob weeman]

Cold and deep snow here in Denmark. Ten below this morning so not quite as cold as it has been. Cold but absolutely beautiful in the woods. I will be going out today on the back country skis or snowshoes to read the stories in the snow. Chores first though...roofs to shovel and snow to move....neighbor fell and broke a rib and dislocated his shoulder so I need to do some snow removal down there too....good neighbor who owns 300 acres around me of good hunting grounds.....will need to get the diesel tractor going.....warming up fuel to put in as well as putting a hair dryer in the fuel filter usually does it....

Bob, you should get to know my good friend Lenny who lives down on Moose Pond Rd.

He's a helpful neighbor.

We would really appreciate a little of you cool air (not cold) and lots of your moisture here in Arizona. Arizona is enduring a usually warm winter and receiving almost no winter moisture. We face a potential major wildfire season this spring and summer without some winter moisture.
PS: It's not easy hunting quail in mid-seventy's over hard dry ground.

We got 18” here in Southern CT. I haven’t shot in about 3 weeks everything I own is reloaded!!! But it is what it is......I would love to see a 30 degree day. I can’t remember the last one

YES! Dean said it previously. And just yesterday I heard that these current storm "names" (like Grayson) are NOT attached by the National Weather Service.

They are a total creation of The Weather Channel. Why? Ratings and viewership!

How's that? Because any storm with a "name" is subconsciously connected to a hurricane, which is presumed to be horrific. And BAD weather gets viewers. Nobody tunes in to hear how sunny, warm and pleasant it is.

Grayson; Bomb Cyclone; El Nino; Polar Vortex; rip currents -- all either concocted or adopted for show business. Action; horror or disaster movie-name stuff.

Current (11:06 a.m.) objective facts from the weather observatory a-top Mount Washington, New Hampshire:

Wind speed: 77mph
temp.: -34
wind chill: -86

I saw on TV NY Mayor DiBlasio saying the storm was unprecedented, the worst ever and evidence of recent weather changes brought by global warming. On the weather channel the weather woman was saying this was not as bad as the 1978 storm that hit NY.

This is all very confusing to me out here on the plains.

Good thing it went through fast, we get tidal flooding from long periods high winds storm passed during low tide. Did not see any real damage.

I expect it could have been worse in New England, storm seemed to move further offshore. Weather Bouy on George’s Bank recorded very high wind and sea. 45 feet on the 5th.
