mreaves Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 -19 at my shack this morning. Weird set-up on the way--should be interesting to watch unfold. agreed. can't really get a good grasp of what to expect. I'm fine with not being in the bull's-eye for large events, as long as we keep receiving regular refreshers of 4"-6", especially since it hasn't been melting. If this event or events wants to shift south with the big stuff, that's fine. Any snow is good snow. Except for the holiday Grinch period, I couldn't have drawn up a better winter, for me. I know other people want continuous big storms but I'm fine keeping the status quo for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know other people want continuous big storms but I'm fine keeping the status quo for now. Had 6 full weeks of boring/meh, mild grinchey meh in Dec, cold meh in Jan. Sure ended with a bang, however, and I'm way above my avg both for snowfall and pack. And the near future remains ver-r-r-y interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Only minus -3.3F up on the hill this AM. My record low is -19F. Came fairly close earlier this season at -14.2F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvysnow79 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Will be interesting to see how it does play out and if we get more snow, how that will affect the play at the Vermont Pond Hockey Championship this weekend. I will be out there all day Saturday and Sunday again this year keeping score and enjoying the free food and beer for keeping score . Here is the webcam to check out the action. http://www.lakemoreyresort.com/webcam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 agreed. can't really get a good grasp of what to expect. I'm sort of confused on this as well; I went into the main thread for the event hoping to get some clarity, but it didn’t really help. With that said, I did see that Winter Storm Watches are up for the area, so clearly the BTV NWS things that there is potential for some impact: A projected accumulations map is out, with this area in the 12-15" range: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I could see like 2-3" per day for 2-3 days straight type of deal. Its not overly exciting but its basically what our weather is like often enough in the winter, occasional accumulating snow showers for a few days.

adk Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I could see like 2-3" per day for 2-3 days straight type of deal. Its not overly exciting but its basically what our weather is like often enough in the winter, occasional accumulating snow showers for a few days. I agree. It is essentially not one single storm. There are a number of clipper like shortwaves that will rotate through the region as an upper level trough has established itself over the region. With light moisture each clipper system is not that exciting. However, each wave gets a little enhanced as it moves over our region from the orographic uplift and we get a series of 1-3" events in quick succession. The largest of the series is a wave that looks to dig a litter deeper into the OH valley on Sunday night into monday. That should wrap some additional moisture into the system and some warm air advection snows as well. So prob. more a 4-7" type event early Monday am into Monday night. .... Add that all up and its prob. a solid 10-18" from tonight through tuesday AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I was just thinking. For my backyard, a forecast range of 8-16" is probably the most unhelpful snowfall range possible. You're saying I could get a pedestrian amount of snow we see several times every winter, or a crippling amount that hasn't happened in 14 years. /miscellaneous rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember individual storms, but I'm pretty sure I'd remember measuring that much. 14-15" seems to be my ceiling, with one exception (2-6-01) since 1986.

Not going to come home from Savannah this weekend because doesn't seem like the storm will be intense enough, and I would have to be able to definitely leave on Monday night - might be hard to get out of MHT or BOS Monday afternoon/eve. But it seems like we reload mid-month and I'm sure my roof will need to be raked and I will just have to come home. In th 50s today, and sunny...headed for 70 this weekend.

powderfreak Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Snowing nice big flakes...was surprised to see almost an inch down in the last two 2 hours or so.

Hitman Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Snowing here. Little over an inch otg. Don't know whether to get ready and get to the mtn at 7:15 tomorrow morning or take my time. Saying it's going to snow a foot between now and Tuesday doesn't really inform any decision making. However, it sure to be a great few days so no complaints.
