  1. My flakes are getting destroyed by calm winds.
  2. Growth is kinda meh. No one in the state is reporting 1/2sm or less right now. It’s probably 3/4-1sm here.
  3. ice1972 saw his weenie last night and went back into hiding. 6 weeks of winter incoming.
  4. I still find that all voodoo. There’s nothing that stands out about this event versus others wrt wrecked crystals.
  5. 17.8/-1.6 today Cold, but nothing out of the ordinary for a cold winter day. I normally expect a good 10 days like this each winter.
  6. Is Santa bringing Bryce binoculars so he can see the snow out his west side window?
  7. To answer your question…the 80s were cold and relatively dry. So that’s the inside joke here.
  8. Hammer pants, Paul Mitchell hair spray, Cabbage Patch dolls This is your brain. This is your brain from clown maps.
  9. Somewhere around there. This is ugly. Looks like somewhere near this 7/1 it got really bad. NSFW
  10. We need to put a putting green around it to get Mekster on it.
  11. Middleboro right next door had -26°. Up here CON had -23°. Maybe the -30s are too extreme, but it was apparently a good night for radiating.
  12. This may be the best video I’ve seen explaining snow crystal microphysics. Good stuff.
  13. 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.
  14. Struggling up here. 12.5° and deep OVC. Looks like we’re stuck in it all day.
  15. 35kt winds in the DGZ doesn’t sound that extreme to me.
  16. 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.
  17. 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?
  18. +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.
  19. 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.
