wxeyeNH Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 31.4F Light freezing rain. After our dusting of snow we have had freezing rain all afternoon. Temps slowly rose through the upper 20's to our current temp. Temp rise has come to a near halt past hour. Trees glazed and branches sagging.

dryslot Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Boston's "100-hr storm", biggest until 2/78. Farmington got 43" (for an amazing 84" snow depth), Long Falls Dam to the north 56", and Pinkham Notch 77" and something like 156" OG. Only 4" of slop in NNJ; our storm that month was the Lindsay storm on the 9th. Steady ZR here, folks still sliding on sidewalks despite the salt-spreading. Headed home now, not looking forward to Mile Hill - hope the road crews have been diligent. That was our highest single storm total here...

tamarack Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Still light ZR and 31 here. Drive home wasn't too bad except the last 7-8 miles, once I reached New Sharon. One SUV in the ditch on the north/downward side of Mile Hill, Industry Road fairly icy, and the 2,000' of gravel road was untreated wet ice. Normally I ride the side to avoid th potholes toward the middle, but tonight the shocks suffered as I wanted no part of the side-slopes away from the crown. Touched the brakes once (while going about 5 mph) and maintained speed. Not sure I could've stayed upright had I tried to walk on that stuff. Looking better for a couple inches tomorrow night, kinda feeble for a normal Dec, but anything to make the ground white (and stay white) will be appreciated.

skierinvermont Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I think we hit 32 around 4pm in the valley .. parking lots got pretty slick before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Never made it above 34F here today... dirt roads and parking lots are still really slick and frozen with puddles on top of ice. The dirt roads are especially treacherous... ABS engaged and slid through a stop sign on my way home tonight. Figured a bunch of hours of 33-34F would've taken care of the ice but apparently not.. currently 33/32. If we manage to slip below freezing and this water starts to really freeze up, could be icy tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Ice skating rink out there this morning. Temps hovered around 32 / 33 all night long. On the way to the gym the truck temp hit 31 a few times. Slow going until it warms up later today. Hoping for an inch of snow up this way for the next system to at least whiten things up for Christmas. We'll see but I think a whiff up this way is just as likely.

At least we didn't have a snowpack to get wiped out. I think that is more depressing than just not having snow. Local radio said there could be some light acumulation over the next couple of days, maybe 3 inches. At this point, I'm not even optimistic about that.

Lava Rock Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 A terrible 50F outside. WTF? I'll take the couple inches of snow tonite, but damn, can we get into some sensible winter pattern soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 My 1-2" tomorrow is now looking more like 3-5". NAM moving more in line with the GFS. Whats good for me is bad for the folks down south. My move from Boston to my NH hill home pays off time and time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Yesterday's temp was 30/1, with 0.31" qpf, a few flakes morn then all ZR aft/eve, perhaps 0.15" accretion. Still 30 at 7 this morning with more clear than cloud, and a low-level inversion that had shrubs with intact ice and big drops falling from the taller trees. I was surprised to make it up my driveway without resorting to the ash bucket, though having the left-side wheels on the grass helped. Rest of the commute was messy but otherwise comparably tame. AUG had 45 at noon, so nothing left on the sidewalks other than lots of rock salt. Morning forecast has MBY with perhaps 2"; I'd take the under (would be quite happy to lose, however), as I don't think enough precip makes it this far NW.

MaineJayhawk Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Well, Jeff ... what say you for accumulations? I'm going to go conservative with 3-5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Colder air better start infiltrating soon. Still 46F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Colder air better start infiltrating soon. Still 46F. LOL I was thinking the same thing... but maybe its starting. We were 43/34 an hour ago, now its 36/32 at MVL. I'm surprised the dews are still so high and that's concerning. Most of BTV's warning area is low to mid 30s for dew points so wet bulb isn't going to help at all. My fear is the clouds are moving in now, so we won't radiate and it'll end up snowing lightly into a warm boundary layer with struggling to accumulate.

Allenson Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Cooling off here...slowly. Down to 36-37 or so now (waffling a bit). We'll see what happens. A couple inches would be nice to see after yesterday's debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The evening sounding is on the way up. We're sitting at 40 degrees at the office, and remain above freezing to about 900 mb. Lots of room for wet bulb cooling though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I’m not sure what the temperature was in Burlington when I left, but I’ve got a couple of updates from east of/in the Greens. At the Waterbury Park and Ride (~500’) a bit after 6:00 P.M. the temperature was 32 F, heading through the center of Waterbury soon after that, the temperature was fluctuating in the 33-34 F range, and when I was at the house around 6:15 P.M. the thermometer was reading 32.7 F. The trend has been downward in the past 15 minutes though, because it was just reading 32.2 F and now it’s 32.0 F. I’m not sure if this is just low-level cold, but hopefully it will help with any snow that falls around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 29-30 here at present, so should be all snow and all accum, especially with h8 temps -5/-6C. GYX has foothills 1-3"; ch13 has MBY right on the line between 1-3" (to S & W) and 'coating to 2".' Some white would be right; saw a moth flying across the road as I got near home this aft, and that's NOT right for 12/22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High game tonight? 181 was my highest ever but I stopped when I was like 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
