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! eek

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. crazy

The Dayton Spitz. Ugh! mad

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

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!

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!

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. smirk

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