Don't be surprised when you seeing me wearing orange. Erin go braless!

There's something about a warm St. Patrick's Day, drunk Irish girls in front of bars trying to impress guys while they walk by... but not if you're wearing orange.Originally Posted by kb2vxa

Kind of an ugly day here in the desert. Gray, windy, and overcast; it didn't even make it to 60.

In New York on St. Paddy's Day wearing orange would be a death wish. I did it in school year after year but nobody raised an eyebrow, the whole lot including the teachers never heard of the Orangemen, the Orange Order, their origins, place in history, or what it means to Irish Catholics.

Hit 5 right now. Will warm up then drop for the coming snowstorm. We were supposed to get an inch, no more then we actually had very rough driving with about 5" of snow; must be the cutbacks, that is a very odd thing to happen in the mountains. Tonight more of the same, 12 to 15" predicted and got a public alert via Google about an hour ago.
Can't wait for the wearing of the green. Then again, we got snowed in on Easter 1970 when I was visiting up here. The storm that came in late March dumped 42" after five 60 degree days... NYC got 4". Meh. Why Not?

The whole of western europe is basking in + 0 temps including Sweden, Finland etc, no winter to be had, just lots of western circulation bringing more rain to the drowned UK and strong wind and gales to us with the odd sunny day like now, temps +8 C, the whole "winter" gave us 3 nights with temps a bit below 0, the rest looks like spring.
Next 14 day forecast is not else, after that i expect more of the same....
Last year we had lots of freezing days, 20" snow, and we could skate on our canals and lakes....he only ice now is in the fridge.

well we got about 10" of snow..
funny part of the night was when some jackass was out driving around in the middle of the snowstorm jamming us.
We've got about 16 - 18" right now with a few more hours of snow and freezing rain. We'll be cold for awhile, then another storm this weekend. The early forecast - which is not set in concrete - is 12-18" from Baltimore MD to NYC and Nassau County, Long Island.
FUN.

The concrete has been poured all over the TV, it just hasn't set yet. Better get it off before you have a real problem, put it in a tub and stand the weatherman in it. By the weekend he'll be crab food. The LIRR has it's usual problems, service has been suspended on the NEC and the North Jersey Coast Line from Long Branch northward giving Amtrak and NJT fits with ice loading on the overhead catenaries. No mention has been made of Diesel service on the Bay Head Shuttle, Bay Head to Hoboken or non electrified NJT lines. I haven't checked but it's safe to assume information may be had on their web sites.
