Tropopause_Fold Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I actually think the dirt /crap on them protects the snow..You always see those banks of dirty snow lasting longer than ones that aren't probably because they are bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Might snow a little Friday night... and before you get too hasty, you said it would not snow last night. it did IMBY The 15th might be pushing it. Let's say April 7th for you (downsloping and all) In 90% of SNe it didn't snow last night. You got lucky to get in on one wet squall in Eastern Mass. I don't classify that as a Windex event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Kevins banks on the south side take a hit north side shadow effect. No salt up there so probably just dirt and the fact lots more air pockets created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't classify that as a Windex event Andover NE Mass had a good one. Dirt on the snow absorbs more energy thus enhancing melting, those plow piles are solid ice packed densely, your shovel can not do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 OKX is getting the front in here early, and has snow back in the forecast for next week, good to see! I wonder if Jerry was right about Monday being possibly the warmest day of the week, looks like a lot of high and mid level cloudiness later Thursday into Friday.

ORH_wxman Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Euro ensembles are further north and warmer than the OP run which isn't a surprise considering we didn't even really get into any precip on the OP run...given how suppressed it was. Verbatim the ensemble mean is a nice snow event track for most of SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Let me ask you this...how/where are you measuring? I'm almost willing to bite. I have 5 different spots I go to in different areas of the yard. On all 4 sides of the house..and none in direct sunlight..which I don't get anyway except ironically enough in the driveway area for 2-3 hrs in the PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 27-28 i'm up to a fresh powder 25 this morning....its my seasonal peak. i might be able to pass you, but instead of via snowstorm, it will be via thaw who loses less actually, i doubt ill pass you as its a lot of fluff i expect to lose half at least.....i guess it will be interesting. ....NOT!

I think we just need to get through next week before 2-3 weeks of vengeance comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Just got back from the berks. Highest point on the Pike is in Beckett I think the sign said of 1724 feet. No more snow up there than here. I don't know. I lost about 2-3 inches yesterday..and I think my snowbanks lost more than the pack somehow. Maybe that's natural? I don't know.. But I have an avg of 27-28 ..Virtually impossible to get the yardstick into the icepack today I can't see you losing more than 3-4 each of the warm days coming up. If you have 28" OTG you'll easily have 15" in a few days, probably quite a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
met_fan Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I actually think the dirt /crap on them protects the snow..You always see those banks of dirty snow lasting longer than ones that aren't Yeah, but part of that must be that as more and more snow melts, it reveals the old crud and dirt that has been layered and covered up with new snow over and over all winter. So you end up with ever-decreasing amounts of snow, but that junk just stays right where it is and every bank looks filthy by the end of the winter.

r6inct Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Kevins banks on the south side take a hit north side shadow effect. No salt up there so probably just dirt and the fact lots more air pockets created. Mine are melting from the street in from the asphalt adding some warmth and I also have a stream of melted snow running underneath the pack near the curb. A cool site I saw last night was the pack that was once about five feet tall from the plows and my snowblower is now probably only about 20 inches or so but it has a huge rectangular hole in it where heat is rising from the storm grate. edited for puncuation...

CoastalWx Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 The euro ensembles are key with that -NAO block. It really prevents this from going into NNE. Comparing the 12z euro and gfs ensembles, the differences that I pointed out a few pages back, still exist. Much better confluence over the Great Lakes and southern Canada. Something like the euro ensembles or even the Canadian makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Pacific is very favorable on the LR Euro ensembles to dump the coldest air in the N Hemisphere right into Canada...it looks like its trending toward an amped up -EPO...more classic look the further out we go.
