Me neither. 34" in 12hrs sucked.

1/24/19? Got up to 52F here and had 1.58" of rain. Pack went from 11" to 7".

35.2F

Upslope region giveth and taketh.

Cold draining back in here with the thicker cloud cover. 35.7F

16z obs

Man...wish that was up here. Still 33F at 1P1 (Plymouth). 37F here and still semi wedged.

36.6° with thin overcast and even legit sun at times.

Foothills and valleys SE of the mtns are still cold this morning. SLK, BML, and HIE already into the 40s.

28.4°

27.8° overcast

Hit 21.7F here a bit ago with the thin overcast, but it bounces around the low 20s depending on cloud density and how much longwave is reemitted back. There will be 2 boundaries going through Christmas day. The first one is with a mid level front that'll kick the core of the LLJ east. The flow veers from the SE to the S at the sfc and temps may drop a couple of degrees behind it. Then a few hours later we get the actual real CAA and sharp temp drop. If it completely goes, then great. I get my driveway back and the birds get their grass back for the time being.

I don't think it's wiping me out. The warmth never overperforms here, but even taking it literally it'll put a dent in, but not wipe it out. I had 24hrs of 50s-60 with 50s dews in Jan and went from 11" to 1". I'm starting with a compacted 14" this go around and the bottom 2" is complete ice after the early Dec event. I'm interested to see how quickly we warm up though considering there is no high to dam the cold in. We're going to have to flat out do it with trapped cold that doesn't want to budge.

I went from 11” to 1” after the Jan torch. That one will end up being worse with the hours of 60s dews and even sunshine. 4” sounds about right for this.

Define

I will take a cutter per week if I can get a 34” storm every season.

Already the most hourly dews of 50+ up there for met winter.

idk why, but every time I see your avatar it looks like a bong.

Deep winter will set in soon. These torching cutters become very rare after mid Jan.

I recall S NH blowing away with +RA and 40s in Feb 2010.

Rain can stabilize things, but not always. Even if we’re “mixed” it’s going to be moist adiabatic with the high dews advecting in over the pack. It gets more difficult in the foothills and sheltered valleys where the latently cooled air can put up an easier fight, but there’s going to be a corridor just inland where the pack will go relatively quickly and the winds will be roaring off the deck with 59/59 at 2m. Idk...I can kinda see this going either way, but I feel like you’re getting a little Popeish here with the angry anti-wind posts and trying to pound your chest while going against the grain. I mean we get it, we know where you stand. But the NWS is hitting the concern pretty hard and some other mets too. Hey, I hope you’re right...we don’t need trees falling on travelers Christmas morning.
