weathafella Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Frigid today...bright with still a strong and deep Boston area snowpack. Next week's torch looks like it is coming and brining WSW winds buoyed by thicknesses of >558 to really enhance PM temps. Hopefully the snowcover can temper it but it should survive unless it goes beyond 2-3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Monday should be mild, and the torch may be another 180-24 hrs longer than I thought when we agreed on the bet. Enjoy the meltdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 enjoy the warmth instead of dreading it.. the snow and cold will return soon enough. paint the shutters, make some iced tea, head to the beach to cool off....loads of things to do. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Why couldn't you have been right? We'll see. I didn't expect another additional 36-48 hrs of warmth. What are you gonna do. It's more Thursday through early Saturday that will do all the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Looks like a solid 15" of snow still OTG at my parents house near the water in Guilford. Incredible. They've had >12" OTG for like a month now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 My 8'' snowpack didn't fully melt after the New Years torch. Don't worry. Has Kevin never had snowpack before or is this his way of stirring talk during a dead period? It'd take a week of 50+ days and 32+ nights to eradicate a 30+ pack. Silly nonsense.

OSUmetstud Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 We had very little snow on the ground after the January 1st torch...just piles. It got up to 64 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeVries Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Yeah..but if it's near 60 in spots...it's not going to be near 60 at 980 ft in Tolland, correct? It will be near 60 in the CT River Valley and from me to Bob in SE Mass. I can't see the ECMWF vertical profiles...but I'm assuming mixing isn't that great... If there is snow on the ground, the more northern parts of the Valley in WMass (BAF, CEF, etc.) tend to stay relatively cool during these torches from what I've seen over the years. That part of the Valley gets relatively cold at night (colder than many elevated areas) and that cold is sustained during the day. When places in CT are approaching 70 during midday, they can still be in the mid-50's. The WMass Valley can keep the snow around, but they usually don't have much to start with. This year is a little bit different though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I can almost guarantee something like this will happen. 26" on average now. My side of the street will have 15" of crusty brown snow, across the street will have a few patches of snow here and there. Although if the 12z Euro is right with only a 1.5 day torch I still think this will happen. 15" in my yard and patches of snow where it drifted across the street. Right now there's about 26-32" in my yard and 22-28" across the street, so I think this looks likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha5 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Solid 15" here composed of nearly an inch of ice (from 2 ice storms) 3 MECS's and a smattering of smaller events. Compact enough to walk on without falling in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Lost an average of about 4" today. The average is around 22", but it varies a lot. Theres a protected area on the side of my house that still has around 3 feet! Then the exposed areas across the street that bake in the sun have around 16" OTG. I'm guessing No loss tommorow 2" weds 3" Thurs 5" Friday Average snow pack end of the week will be 12-14", with some patches of grass in the sun torched areas and still 20" in some of the shaded, protected areas.

Alpha5 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Lost 1" today, down here, the snow has been compacted more thanks to some ice storms and a cycle of freezing/melting day in and day out. Doubt we have no snow left after this two day torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I put some pics in the banter thread, but here is a pre-torch pic...from the same angle as I have historically used pre-torch pics...first one is today (Feb 16th) at 3pm....the 2nd one is for comparison on Jan 5, 2008 just prior to when we had a 17" snow depth wiped out in 5 days. And one other current angle from straight on: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
