Yeah...it's going to be tough to melt it all now. If we got 12-18 hours of near 60F dews it'd probably be close, but it'll probably fail and end up low 40s.
I only managed a few hours of sleep last night so I was hoping for an early one...instead I'll be snowblowing after this 10pm dinner.
It won’t stop....gah. What a bear of a drive to market basket. Bad accident in Tilton where 132 meets main st. I had to go home in a raging blizzard, up, my hill, and then down. White knuckle drive.
Pretty rare for the snow to be heavy enough that it reflects the IR light back to my cam like a ball of light. Usually that only happens with dense fog.
Probably 40-45 mins of the heavies. Probably some drift under the beam like you said too...idk
It’s blowing everywhere, but the sample off the board is 2.5” and I had 0.10” of liquid in it. That first 2” was weird...like mashed potato fluff.
2” from first wave. I overestimated 2-3” since there was already some in my path. The board had 2”. This squall will push 3” but the wind is roaring now.
As bad as that downslope zone is in Littleton NH, I don't think I'd put MHT/ASH ahead of them on retention.
Some kind of ratio between total snowfall and snow depth days may work as well. That would tell you who does the best at keeping what they get.
Consecutive 63F and 69F at BOS in early Jan 2007. I think I even hit 66F or something in that. Consecutive 67F and 62F in 2008 as well. 1995 had 3 straight days of mid 60s
Had to laugh at the GFS in the Champlain valley this weekend. It oozes the cold boundary down the valley with mega WAA aloft. Looked like 10s toward St. Albans and 850s pushing 50F. I'll have to do a weenie wiz point click sounding.
People love to report snow intensity, but usually it gets a bit overestimated. None of us have vis sensors so it's always just an educated guess. I think a lot of mod reports here are actually light and a lot of heavy are just moderate. Not accusing anyone of overestimating...just throwing it out there. I haven't looked at much down there.
