dendrite

Chiefs 45, Niners 35

Anyone use those armorskids on their blowers? Worth the $40+ on rocky, uneven terrain?

2.4° Still no subzeroes.

No thanks. It's been relatively tame up there for your standards too. EC MOS is popping a -15F tonight for BML so you'll have some snotcicles in the morning.

Still looking for our first below 0F here. MAV/MET are 0F in CON tomorrow morning and EC MOS is -2F. Down to 11.4F with a still pesky wind.

Hasn't happened yet here either. 0.7F at 1am. As we started going calm the clouds raced in.

2.0F Coldest of the season.

Up to 10.9F. May go out and tan my perineum.

Up to 6.8/-7 I've been out all day taking the day by the horns. Pulled the gym equipment out onto the ice laden driveway and did some benching and squats. Then I sparked up the fire pit and grilled some steaks and burgers on it paleolithic style. Then we played some ultimate frisbee in the 7" pack. It stings at first barefoot, but eventually you become numb to it. Great morning and I feel alive.

2.7°/-7°

It’s fricken cold. I want last weekend back. 6° and roaring.

Heavy, heavy fog. A little slick too after an overnight mix.

And the rocks were the solution at CON...not the problem. They originally had dark mulch down around the ASOS. The compromise was white rocks. They’re so worried about a couple tenths warming per decade, but no one wants to grow grass and maintain it at a proper height. lol

Yup slick out here with the snow and fzdz.

Won’t happen. They’ll be easily under 55° by midnight tomorrow.

Luckily for me it took 4 squalls to achieve that.

Fake effect. I will say though that the super large dendritic LES snows tend to have higher vis for the same rates. Of course it's huge amounts of 30:1 fake fluff. idk about 28" in 4hrs there. Where did he get the 28"? Did they measure before every time they snowblowed? In a 4hr sample like that you shouldn't be clearing at all. So I have my doubts. 4hrs of 0.25" liquid at 30:1 would give you 7.5"/hr and 30". But again, by hour 4 the weight of that is compacting the earlier snow below it.

Happy birthday man.

Let’s try this one more time.

I added my 6.9" to the cocorahs map. The map is a little weird as it should be rotated clockwise about 20-30 degrees. There had to have been a weenie sliver of 6-8" going back to those Windsor county VT obs. The 7.9" is Danbury. They had 7.9" with 0.35" liquid which was a similar ratio to my 6.9"/0.25". Pretty cool.

Danbury 7.9”. I feel better now. lol

I snowblowed 3-4” from the driveway twice. If it was fake it was a fake pain in the ass. lol

Mark, what did you end up with?

lol. I’m watching cocorahs obs come in on the east side of town of 2-3”. wtf. I’m in CON now and there’s almost nothing down here. It almost doesn’t seem believable, but I’m strict when it comes to measuring and I’ve been doing it 25 years. Maybe Lisa can get some daylight pics. I will say there didn’t seem to be as much out by Market Basket...maybe 3-4”? And when we left it wasn’t snowing there. As we headed west toward downtown Northfield it was a whiteout again. So there were a lot of mesoscale things going on. Pretty wild to get wide ranges over short distances in this area.

6.9"/0.25" here. Fun night.
