Mr Torchey Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I wouldn't call today a torch. Maybe +5-ish departures. Sadly that's cool enough to lower the monthly numbers. We know what +18 days feel like seeing as we all had one this weekend. A -18 day would be around 20/0 at this point as we approach winter's coldest days by average. The fact that a forecast of highs around 30 to low-30s on the coastal plain is considered a cold shot, says it all for this winter. Let's see us string together a few days of 20-25 highs and widespread below or single digits for lows. Now that's a bonafide cold air mass that would compete with the likes of the torch air masses we've been in most of the season. Its 48 at bdr, thats a torch, should be +10 easily.

snowman21 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 At ORH at least it will be more then +5. With a low of 25, and a high of either 41 or 42, that's more like +10 as I believe the average is something like 16/34 maybe? Close... for today at ORH it's 31/17. The others are 34/17 at BDL, 36/22 at BOS, and 37/21 at PVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastBayWx Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 0.25" inches of snow/sleet/ice overnight made for an adventurous early morning commute to Providence this morning. Roads were glazed over with no salt or spreaders to be seen, accidents everywhere. Granted this was at 630am, but RI DOT missed the boat on this one and there were probably more accidents just this morning than a typical 10" snowstorm would involve. Winter driving skills are definitely out of practice down here on the South Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I kept a snowball from the pre-Xmas OES event here of 2-3" figuring I'd have a piece of historic snow for least snowy winter ever. I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 This month is nothing compared to the Jan 2006 torch...I think we were +8.8 for the month. Although we also had 24.1" of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have a good chance of getting close to that, in my opinion we absolutely torch later this month. Looks some snow at least for the interior elevated areas though.

Looks some snow at least for the interior elevated areas though. I don't think we'll sniff 8.8F...we'll probably be around +4.5 with two weeks to go...we'd need to average like +13 over the final 2 weeks to make it. We could def still make +6 if we have a very warm end to the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yeah but remember we were told everything was on track, things were fine....we're just wooses for not skiing. Anyone know the latest date for an MRG full opening? Burke up to 16 out of 50. Not that bad though, Sunapee, Loon, SR, Stowe all have plenty of trails open. XC and snowmobiling is brutal.

S&P Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 realized yesterday that i haven't had to wash road salt/sand off my car yet this year because until yesterday the local DPW had not put any down. no reason to. yesterday we ended that stetch when a overnight rainshower froze as temps briefly slipped below freezing and caused numerous local accidents.barely below feezing this morning 31/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could def still make +6 if we have a very warm end to the month. you may not sniff 8.8 but the longer range is looking warmer and warmer for the last ten days of Jan, for historcial purposes, since we wont be getting any snow in much of sne, I hope we make a run, better than 45 and sunny. I think orh end up at 7.5 ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think orh end up at 7.5 ish ORH ending up +7.5 after the first ten days averaged +6 or more is rare. The last time anything close to that happened at ORH was January 1950 which was +9.8 through 1/10/1950 and ended the month at +7.4. Next closest is January 1990 which started off +8.0 and finished +7.3. It drops off pretty fast after those two cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
