    29° at noon!

    This may be the best video I’ve seen explaining snow crystal microphysics. Good stuff.

    Sorta. You can magnify the crystals to see if the hexagonal crystalline structures are still in tact of if they’re broken up into pieces. Imagine the crystal formations on this site https://www.snowcrystals.com and then just seeing fractured pieces in blowing and drifting snow. There’s a reason why those drifts get dense and hard packed.

    Struggling up here. 12.5° and deep OVC. Looks like we’re stuck in it all day.

    35kt winds in the DGZ doesn’t sound that extreme to me.

    Van Buren used to hold the old coop record before all of those automated river HADS sites got put in. Non-MWN NH record is -46°F at Pittsburg. I don’t think anyone in NNE has theoretically gotten much colder than -50°F in the last 150 years so toss that -64°F further than DAW.

    Was she married to this guy?

    Yeah…think of those deformation bands where you have different flow trajectories coming together and stretching of the parcels yet we’re still pulling 25:1 at the sfc. It’s not as gusty above the frictional layer either so there’s probably less opportunity for collisions?

    +3C 850s with a min of 9F at CON. Not sure I’ve seen it that extreme. lol But yeah, we’re super dry and mixed right off the BL so there’s some potential for high end inversions.

    MOS is really going wild with the radiating after Xmas despite well AN midlevel temps. Seems too aggressive to me, but it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.

    I really need one more tick south to get into the 1-3” here. There’s that initial finger of fronto that pushes through and then the lower level dry slot for SNE and most of CNE before the fropa approaches. Best accums will be north of that dry nose moving W to E

    Ginx already mentioned WU. This is a good one too. https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/map/?obs=true&wfo=sto

    https://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/mesomap.cgi?state=MA&rawsflag=3 Here’s the Davis one. You may need to change it from AQ to temp. https://www.weatherlink.com/map

    I don’t see one low of -10° or colder in MA.
  15. dendrite
    - Actually thought you’d be colder than that in the valley. -2° used to be a warm morning out there.
  16. dendrite
    Still dropping. -1.6°
  17. dendrite
    $$$$$
  18. dendrite
    -1.2°
  19. dendrite
    Nah I’ll stay right here and continue bitching about it.
  20. dendrite
    High 10.8°. Colder than my lowest of 13° last year…probably have to go back to the 7° on 2/4/23.
  21. dendrite
    9.5° At least we gain 3s of daylight today
  22. dendrite
    AWT

    You guys in SNE are basically relying on some snow with the cold fropa and it starts drying up once it gets past the western hills. Low to mid levels are bone dry before then so any stray echoes are likely virga. Even up here it’s probably < 1”.

    Best forcing has always been near the canadian border with this. There’s a reason why you want them sliding south of you. Congrats Sherbrooke.

    Some of that was me. You get a week of 850s above 0C and you figure torched mins and at least a couple of days where you go westerly and push 50-60 across the region. I think I posted a few days ago that it wouldn’t necessarily be tulips and skip-its at the sfc, but we may actually be able to radiate the first half of this stretch and keep some teens and 20s overnight to really keep it iced up before the step up climb in mins sets in toward NYE.
