    I said six weeks because I know if I said eight people would jump down my throat about how March is barely a winter month and we rarely get March snow anymore, etc.

    We’re going to need at least two more warning events and some smaller events to get to normal. We have about six weeks to do it, but I haven’t really looked at the long range. I have to go back and calculate my totals but I think I need at least another 20” to hit my average.

    This winter seems much colder than last, right?

    They were reporting flurries there this morning. My friend in Clearwater said the water temperature in the golf is below 60° now. I’ll have to check because that seems low, but definitely cold down there.
  5. HIPPYVALLEY
    That’s not actually true. Sometimes it’s over your area.

    Oh how we pray. Something, anything!

    Plus, even if the snow looks fresh and white, there are always dirt and dust particles settling on it, reducing its reflective ability, allowing for more melting!

    I used to think it was a mistake when I would see 1936 listed as peak water height on a lot of the rivers around here. I just assumed they meant 1938 hurricane. Then I started looking into it and found a banged up copy of that same book that you posted. There are some actual film archives of the ice flows taking out bridges on the CT River and tributaries. I think the Montague historical society has the one I saw.

    Got down to -9° at my house and there were lot’s of -5 to -10’s on local Wunder sites. Your elevation probably kept you from going lower.

    This cold has already and will continue to set up some impressive river ice. Maybe come March we can get some jamming and flooding on the Connecticut to rival 1936. Not that I really want that. It’s just a fascinating phenomena. 1936 took out dozens of bridges and I believe it was worse flooding than the 1938 hurricane.

    oh, there was plenty of blowing snow today. The section of my road with the cornfields was completely coated with snow this afternoon.
  12. HIPPYVALLEY
    This is the way.

    Geez, need to get out to mid February before there’s any real break from the cold. That would be torture if we couldn’t pop a storm or two.
  14. HIPPYVALLEY
    Yes, autocorrect is crap.

    Jess talk of heating costs and pond ice thickness for weeks and weeks.

    It’s going to be pretty quiet in here this week.
  17. HIPPYVALLEY
    Low of -1F

    I’ve been below zero at least eight mornings this winter.

    I just did the pot of boiling water into the air trick for my wife and teenager. I could tell they were somewhat impressed, but also annoyed by my enthusiasm.

    -9° in my yard.
  21. HIPPYVALLEY
    Something different from what the models are showing right now is going to happen for sure. I’m not convinced it will be big for us, but they are definitely going to be some surprises over the next 48 hours.
  22. HIPPYVALLEY
    Verbatim, would get some accumulating snow pretty far west.
  23. HIPPYVALLEY
    Thanks, just spit my beverage all over the keyboard.
  24. HIPPYVALLEY
    Bring it on, if we can stay a bit BN with Feb temps, overrunning events will rock the interior.
  25. HIPPYVALLEY
    I measured at 4-5 hour intervals and came up with a very conservative 16" in Greenfield.
