Well one benefit to this thaw is a nice, slow melt that the ground can absorb, vs a big rainstorm with 59F that sends your snowbanks into your cellar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Only northern iowa and its a minor. I dont think I want anything to do with the payrolls of meteorlogists nowadays anyways. I think communications is going to by major. 4 YRS of college football then a sports writer would be great by me. Go wherever you can go for free and don't look back. You'll thank yourself in 20 years when you aren't paying $500 a month for college loans for 10-20 years Plus frees you up for post graduate degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messenger, do you have any snow left? I'd say mine is 90% gone...and it's limited to shaded areas...and all the driveway and roadside snowbanks are limited to shaded areas. The past two weeks following the icing event has been the ugliest snowcover I've ever seen down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBos, if there's an opportunity for a free-ride...by all means consider it...and if you don't want to go there...use this free-ride as a negotiating tool to reduce the bill at the school of your choice.......If sports journalism is your choice....choose a minor carefully....because it could end up being the field you ultimately earn your living in.......The journalism industry has been hemorraghing jobs for a long time and everyone's taking pay cuts from the top of the food chain to the very bottom. Problem is no one's making any money off the internet. The internet has killed a lot of journalism careers...and this includes all sectors of journalism.....I don't want to discourage you...because if you're good you have the opportunity to be unstoppable. Just keep in mind it's harder to have a successful career as a lucrative sports writer today than when it was when guys like Bob Ryan, Mike Lupica and Peter Gammons broke in.

I thought the high res visible imagery was interesting today. Shows the cakehole over WMA into a part of NCT...snow but not as much and a clear shadow. Also shows that just to my west a few miles there's still snow. I'd love to have it hit 60-70 but I don't see it happening...widespread temps around 50-55 sure...maybe someone touches 60 for a time.

weatherMA Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 As has been said, the torch is basically 48 hours here. 48 hours to survive the torch. I expect to lose 6-10" in that time and still have a 12+" snow pack with very few if any grassy patches. 23" now. Thursday: Partly sunny, with a high near 48. West wind between 7 and 10 mph. Thursday Night: A chance of showers, mainly after 3am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 35. West wind around 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Friday: A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 51. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Friday Night: A chance of showers before 11pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 33. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

ORH_wxman Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm going to take some winter hill pics tomorrow...for before and after torch pics...well it will kind of be a tad late I guess since tomorrow is going to already be day 1 even if its kind of weak. But tomorrow won't lose much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But tomorrow won't lose much. Think I break 50F again? BOX thinks 48, but they have been cold as of late. Take some OTG measurements, too. 21-24" OTG here (mostly low end of that). Hope to retain 16", expecting 12-14", but whatever. Not too bad looking for a late Feb torch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad looking for a late Feb torch I'm thinking winter hill will probably have about 27" when I measure tomorrow afternoon, though perhaps as low as 25". I expect it will go down to about 15-18" though we might get an uneven melt as is often the case in late season. In earlyJanuary torches like new years, the side of the street makes less difference than in late Feb or Mar where it can be a huge difference. I'll do an average of 4 measurements...one facing each direction. I think we'll both hit 50F pretty easily on Friday. But hopefully it doesn't happen.

Hopefully some of Scooter's sneaky cold and clouds will hang on. The high dews will stink, but at least it is short. I can get a good start on the dog poopsicles on Saturday.

free_man Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 This looks like the last real cold snap of the year, to go along with the upcoming mouth-watering torch. weenies clinging onto every possible last sliver of hope as the winter passes them bye. snowpack is fairly meh here; seems to be 15-20". Of course, I could measure in the deepest and least sunny areas of my yard but that type of posteuring is not really representative of what is really left. I'm fully expecting 5-10" snowpack with plenty more bare spots to be seen, once the torch does it's glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 WIth sunny skies and light west winds, the coastal plain will fairly mild today, 50 should do it, higher terrain should top it around or a shade over 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
