And this will to change again and again. 

I find it hilarious ( and this is not directed at you at all ) that there are posts from people within the same day where in one sense they're freaking out, and then a post about 4 hours later they are cheering on what the models are showing. Point is, as we've seen all winter long, things are going to change within the course of 2 or 3 days before an event. 

People need to take a chill pill and relax. 

you must be new here. Welcome to the forum.

Was 26 at 1pm. Front rolled through and dropped to 14 by 4pm. down to 12 now, and wind is blowing the new snow around.

you re just saying that so when the robots become self-aware, they will come for you last.

The reason why I go off on ACATT stuff both here and from online is how they either just assume ACATT no matter what and don’t look at anything, or they completely misinterpret things like PV disruption. Look at what’s happened now with the split. And btw the weeklies failed too so let’s not hump them just because they are cold and snowy. So many clowns out there.

Snow doesn’t melt ice. It insulates it.  You can’t still build ice, but not like if there was no snow.

I didn't say that snow melted the ice. See @tamarack post

Last weekend the ice here was just starting to thicken safely after the first two weeks of warmth. But then the snow came to insulate it. I know even the ponds in SNH had slush at the bottom of the snowpack. 

yeah, no. the ice didn't go anywhere in SNH. the weight of the snow on the ice may have pushed water up to the surface creating the slush (which happens almost every year), but there has been no ice melting. 

the snow/ice in my parking lot at the office has been melting, but i am pretty sure that has more to do with the 25,000 pounds of salt that they put down

No it’s not, lol.. I work at a golf course. We have north, south, east and west facing greens and fairways that are out in the open sun. Still 16” deep. Only thing that has happened is some wind pack/scour and slight sublimation.

Go look at my picture(picture doesn’t lie) I posted of the blacktop at my school, in direct sunlight all day, two pages back….And you’ll know you’re 100% wrong.  

he beer.

I don't know why any of you guys even read his posts. 100% trolling. either that or he is criminally stupid. or both.

maybe it's all 3: criminally stupid, beer drinking, troll.

My forecast is that this one trends up and in

we look forward to verification from Ray on Monday afternoon 

-9 at MHT, only got to -3 here. had a bunch of deer tracks around my weather station this morning, maybe they were breathing on it and warmed it up a bit.

I wouldn’t. I’d be hopping up and down for that amount from a cutter, but if we aren’t getting obliterated from this kind of setup I’d almost rather it be a complete whiff.

qpf, not snowfall. 1/2-1" qpf would give roughly 6-12" of snow, depending on ratios of course

only got down to 0 here. 

slightly off topic, but the coal-fired power plant in Bow is no longer running. it used the Merrimack river water, and it dumped hot water back into the river. now that it is shut down, the river is frozen solid for the first time that I can recall (aside from short-term cold snaps). it's been frozen down through Hooksett for a few weeks now. interesting stuff

I’d be perfectly happy with 1/2-1” qpf, but can a brother get another 100 mile NW shift just in case?

My boiler died so yeah, disastrously expensive.  

ouch. same happened to me last January. it was stupid expensive

started snowing ~11AM Sunday, ended somewhere around 11PM Monday. solid 36 hours of snow.

picked up 12" Sunday (mostly arctic sand), and another 6" of pure fluff through the day on Monday. Fun storm.

The snow growth is amazing right now. I’m pretty sure by now. I’m at least at 13 inches maybe more than 14. I’m going to be very interested in what Brian’s ratio from today’s snow shows.

same here. 3” so far today, pounding fatties right now

12” yesterday/overnight, 2” so far today and still snowing at a pretty good clip.

Well hello there. We had a storm like this recently….. LP center occluded way to south but a massive band rotated through. Going to need @ORH_wxman’s encyclopedic memory. 

December 2020?

I couldn’t care less if we got more snow today, because the Patriots are going BACK to the Super Bowl!!

I don’t know much about lift but I’m wondering if we’re done with decent lift here? 

If only there was a degreed meteorologist nearby that you could ask

5/0

first hour + of snow was arctic sand, now that bigger flakes have rolled in it’s accumulating nicely, about 1.5”

4/-11 here, going to need some time to penetrate the dry air

I was wrong. almost no Virga with this one, snow started quickly after radar was showing it
