Actually warmer here (41F) than CON (38F) this afternoon...rare, especially for this time of year. Very little mixing under the high today...just enough for here, but not enough in time for the rad pits.
Only 2.0F on the hill. -3F at CON. Maybe we can run the table on the winter above 0F now. We should clear January based on guidance. Still a long way to go to get through Feb though.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
