Really nice winters day. Low 20's Snowed in various intensities all day. I have noticed something over the years in snowflake sizes, maybe others too? Today's flake size varied quite a bit. We would have lots of small flakes. Then a couple of large half dollar flakeswould mix in. Over the next ensuing minutes the half dollar flakes become more numerous. Soon they become the predominate flake size. As they do they become smaller and smaller. Over a time period of perhaps 30 minutes the pattern would repeat. Has anyone else noticed this in storms? Any Meteorological reason?

21.5F Light snow. Vis 1 mile. Half dollar size flakes.

23.2F Light to moderate snow. Half dollar size flakes so great snow growth. Est 5"

25 miles to your NW it has been snowing since 3am at my place and much earlier in Plymouth NH. Any reliable snow reports from K1p1? 23.5F Vis 1 mile light snow

Get a watering can. Sprinkle warm water over ice. Just a bit. immediately get some snow from the woods and throw it over the slippery pack. It will stick to freezing water. You will never get down to bare pavement but a thin layer of snow is much less slippery. What I did yesterday is i have a thin vinyl long mat. Ace hardware sells a 12 foot section for $8. I lay it out before the ZR IP and then after the storm at least have a walk area void of frozen stuff. I also put the vinyl on the car windshield. There will be no scraping for me tomorrow and don't have to wait half an hour for the defroster to melt ice.

24F Silver dollars falling Brian, are you having sleet? Storm total?

24F Light snow. Keep that sleet 5 miles south of me. Nice mood flakes here Just snowblowed the driveway. About 5". Bottom inch is sleet. It had not froze yet with the snow on top so was able to get it off to almost bare pavement. Now it can snow over it and cleanup tomorrow will be easy

23.3F Moderate snow. Great snow growth. Like storms like this as there is no wind so flake size is bigger, or is it the warm layer just south of me?

23F Moderate to heavy snow 3.75"

23.3F Heavy snow 3.5"

31.3 sleetest ended snow began 3am. Sleet and icesheet just slid of roof. Really loud. Phin, maybe that happened to you? Back to bed

1155pm 32.2f ZR IP SN

950pm 32.4F Light snow but mixed at times. Temp is now falling very slowly Goodnight

32.9 Mostly light snow but at times seems like it mixes back. bit of an accumulation on rails Good report Mark. I'm at the latitude between Exit 23 and Exit 24.

33.4F Transitioned to snow in last 15 minutes

34.1/31 Light rain now mixing with catpaws

36.5F Light rain

36.5F A rainy cold night. When will we flip and in what form and for how long? Living on the edge

36.6 light rain few cat paws mixed.

I wash really expecting a good dump here. Im in that hotdog zone. Such a narrow zone between the haves and have nots. People have been asking me all day, how much? and I really thought we were good for a 8 to 12" and the narrow zone would be down towards Brian. Now I think I will be pinging all night and will have egg on my face. Congrats north of Plymouth NH. 38.3F Light rain

40.7F very light rain. Temperature finally falling.

Really tough forecast for my hood! Congrats to all those north of me. Battle line is right through me. I might ping for hours or maybe I will just squeak in to the snow. I'm looking at 925mb and 850mb temps.

Hit 41F so my 6 week run of below 40F has come to an end. Just for total fun I just looked at todays 12Z GFS Kuchera clown map. It goes out to Feb 16th. Not only does most of C/NNE get over 50" of snow for the period there is not one day the temperature goes above freezing for the nearest reporting station from me, Plymouth NH. Phin are you having fun yet? After this season the wife might be insisting you sell the house and stay down in Maryland.

I made it to 40.5F this afternoon. First 40F since Dec 17th. 47 days! So close to extending the run for another bunch of days.

2:05pm Skies are totally clear except for a bit of cirus. Temperature up to 39.4F Sitting in our sunroom without heat on. Amazing how you get acclimated. Bring a Floridian up here this afternoon and they would freeze. Last time I hit 40F was Dec 17th so I really hope the temperature is maxed out so we can extend the streak. Looking forward to the next event. With nor'easters the down sloping off the Whites keeps me in a snowhole. SWFE can give me the biggest snows. In situations like this when there is no wind and we start off as a bit of liquid I put a thin plastic mat over the car windshields. Makes it so much easier than scraping. A garage would be very useful.
