Stop the Pain - part two

Came back from Acupuncture session tonight to 22 degrees air temp, five inches of white crap on the ground at the farm and complete whiteout conditions for parts of the drive home. Forecasted light snow mixed with rain my eye... The Powder Hounds will be ecstatic -- perfect conditions for Champagne Powder on the slopes but to have snow at 800 feet is too much, too often for our usual winters. Anthony Watts reports that it isn't just us:

Here is a weather curiosity. We�ve been hearing a lot about snowfall in the northern hemisphere this year. In Oslo, they have given up on trying to pile it up so they have resorted to dumping it in the sea. If this happened in Seattle they�d probably get into a tizzy for polluting Puget Sound with fresh water snow. And it is not just Oslo, the problem seems widespread. Here are some other news stories in London, UK Geneva, Ohio Chardon, OH Wasatch, UT Chicopee, MA and Rochester, NY where they say the piles are making driving dangerous. In Wenatchee, WA they want to spray warm sewage water on the snow to melt it. I know they could use the USHCN temperature sensor at the sewage treatment plant there to check the temperature to make sure conditions are right. Yeah, that�s the ticket! - Anthony
