No, it's not a new cocktail. It's what I call a local weather phenom that just... drives... me... bat... sh¡t... crazy!

In the nearly 6 years that I've lived here, I've never seen more than 2" - 3" of snow from a single weather event — except for a couple of exceptions where we got closer to 6". Very cold weather, yes. Snow? Not so much. Except for periods like the last 2 days where it's mostly cold and overcast, and the clouds spit single, random flakes in such sparse numbers that within a span of 60 seconds, you can barely count as many flakes!

After a couple of days, the ground looks like the world's stingiest pastry chef sprinkled a half cup of powdered sugar over a square mile.

The Dayton Spitz. Ugh!

Pittsburgh is like that sometimes. And then sometimes you get walloped. I think it's random lake effect stuff, at least in Pittsburg, anyway.

Ain't no big lakes in SW Ohio.

I know, and Pittsburgh is pretty far from the Great Lakes. But lake effect it is. Heck, we get periods of lake effect down here in SE PA!

Funny, I was out hot tubbin' it this morning. How odd.

You live on the wrong side of I-70! This was just a couple of weeks ago...before all of the ice we had too!

Amazing how just a few miles north makes the difference!

What is that... 6" - 8" at most? I'm talkin' about real snow, my man. That's still wimpter, AFAIC.

I like it when it gets just enough to cover the ugly brown of winter, but not enough to cause idiot drivers to drive like idiots.

I would actually prefer those spitz being rays of sunshine around 70. I'd love to move to a warmer climate. I've seen the change of seasons for close to 58 years, it's lost its luster for me.

:-P

What an animal.

You can have it. I'm enjoying our milder winters, what can I say. Viva la global warming.
