Wow.
Wow. I wish I had a good camera. I've never seen anything like this. There's this strip of dark sky way up, and then the huge wall of snow and cloud just like in the pictures I posted, but it's glowing. Like it was actively lit from inside. I know that is because it is reflecting the lights from the city inside/underneath it, but it's glowing white, not that sulfur orange you usually see. And it's the whole cloud wall. It's straight out of special effects.

Oh, right - they've upped the projected three day snow totals to a possible Seven Feet. I guess this is da UP after all. Uffda!

You're indoors and warm and have food and everything, right?
Dear heavens. I don't think I've ever experienced more than two feet of snow.
ReplyDelete(But then, we're an AWFULLY long way from any significant bodies of water.)
Yep - I'm all proud of myself for getting the extra low temperature salt last week, you know, 'cuz we'd probably need it in January. Hahahahaha, yeah, I kill me. But we have a generator if the power goes, and, like I said, we're in this privileged little pocket that has not gotten the worst of it. Even if the power went, the problem with food wouldn't be having it, it'd be thawing it. Lols. Snowstorm humor, we can haz it.
ReplyDeleteWe get to learn big words on the weather these days. They are projecting Synoptic snow storms for the latter half of this little outing. Whether that will be with or without additional Lake Effect storms remains to be seen. My very limited understanding of this new to me term suggests the former does not require large bodies of water. So you never know!
ReplyDeleteYou know, in retrospect, I'm happy the only weather phenomenon I've had to learn a new (to me) name for in the last decade was ”derecho.”
ReplyDeleteI kind of hope it stays that way. Because as much as I love language and words fascinate me...
If the wall of snow were brown instead of white it could be the new weather term I learned in the last few years - Haboob!
ReplyDeleteMatt Schaefer don't mind if I do!
ReplyDeleteIt's a snowboob!
