HoarfrostHubb Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Been seeing the WAWA commercial touting man made, times are tough. They've been through it before and somehow manage to survive (chuckle). What has been killing them is the rain we have had. Ices things up brutally. They are good at snowmaking for a smaller place. It is sad to ride the lifts and go down the trails with brown all around, but usually on the trails it is ok. Fewer "ants" at least. Our school starts going Thursday (hence my free pass) and my son starts Friday. 2 guaranteed ski nights for me... But this is a discussion for the ski thread.

snowman21 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Nice winter day..I was just having coffee down the street and could not believe how many people thought this was cold weather lol..Just a pleasant normal January day. My prediction for today is a -5 or -6 departure, followed by -11 to -13 tomorrow (if all 4 climo sites get to at least -11 it'll be the first time since March 3rd), and +1-3 on Thursday. Not much of a cold snap, but feels much worse due to the wind and the fact that it doesn't like to get cold anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 LOL at him being colder than you. Not sure if it is accurate, but the Wxbug at my wife's school is reading 11..3F Kevin and I usually have similar cold temps... within a couple of degrees He crushes me when it gets warm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Out of curiosity, anyone have some stats on below zero temps without snow cover? As in how often has it happened at certain sites The coldest temp that I have with a T or less of snow is -6°F on 29Dec1993. That also happened on 19Jan1997 with no snow on the ground. All in all zero or below has happened 17 times since I began record keeping in 1985 with no snow on the ground. 18/6 here now...temps falling off nicely. Already some single digits above 2000' in SVT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 38-39 is the magic number though for the top to cool quickly and freeze, bays will ice over pretty quick with below zero temp. The whole thing has fo be 39 not just the top ya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 In January or February 1994 I recall an overunning event where it started to snow at -10F! This was a case of tremendous warm advection and inversion because later that day we had a situation where it was in the single digits and snowing where I lived in Saugerties, NY, while 45 miles south in KSWF it was FZRA and 10F. 9F here now ...held at 12F here since mid morning.... The coldest temp that I have with a T or less of snow is -6°F on 29Dec1993. That also happened on 19Jan1997 with no snow on the ground. All in all zero or below has happened 17 times since I began record keeping in 1985 with no snow on the ground. 18/6 here now...temps falling off nicely.
