Snow Bow Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Still in the 40's at my house currently 44.1 but its started going down now. Really only spent about four and a half hours above 40. Long enough to lose about 3 inches of snow but still have 2.5-3 otg. Should be able to walk on top of it tomorrow morning without leaving footprints with all the water in it.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Made a brief run at 60...got to 59, now dropping back steadily. Boston peaked at 56. Marshfield 59, Norwood 58, Providence 56. BTW who cancelled this weeks torch? How's that working out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hit 54* imby....lovely day. If it isn't going to snow significantly, I'll take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Just a massacre here, hit 48F and snow is patchy in nature. Awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 GHG runs too warm, but probably hit 57. Normally it does but Norwood was 58..and I did just barely touch 59 here too.....was like spring with a warm west wind. 58.9 and touched 59 on both thermos here one in the shade out front. Ray it'll still snow, we'll get a good shot or two...I'm sure we'll hit another period of potential in a few weeks...been the pattern all winter. 10/31...11/20ish, 12/20ish, 1/20ish...probably 2/10-2/20 we'll have a good week or so.

ineedsnow Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Last night really helped us staying below freezing compared to alot of other areas still 1 to 2 inches around here with a few bare spots near trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I've been cleaned out....another reason I don't mind the snowpack reset is because I was the suckerhole of NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 We have patches of grass showing up now here but still holding onto about 75% cover. Looks like it won't be a total wipeout but the grass patches now showing break the string of 12 consecutive days of full snow cover from Jan 12th...longest streak in this hapless season.

Looks like it won't be a total wipeout but the grass patches now showing break the string of 12 consecutive days of full snow cover from Jan 12th...longest streak in this hapless season. Woods that aren't south facing in the Monadnocks still have 1-2" snow cover, but there's a few empty patches even in these forested areas. The fields and open areas of the campus are snow free except for piles and some patches, as are south-facing woods. Can't believe I'm saying this on January 24th in the Monadnocks, totally rotten winters. One of the kids who was in my meteorology workshop made the keen observation that it seems more like an El Niño with the warmth in the northern tier, was proud of him.

ORH_wxman Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Here's what we have this evening...hopefully we get a lot of icing on thursday to maintain what's left...maybe an inch or two of snow first.

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Will, that looks better than here. My yard is probably 75-85% but lots of areas are like 50% 41F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also had less snow than I did in the last 3 events which doesn't help. We've really only had one classic CAD setup and that was January 12th. We had a psuedo CAD setup yesterday, but not all that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Will's pics are proof why it doesn't hurt to get some rain and ice on the pack. It's just so much more resilient when that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Open areas here...a couple to three mushy inches. Woods around 4 inches ..maybe a few 5's. Much worse than the thaw a week ago. 31 now so it's done. It's completely obliterated in all populous areas around ALB and GFL...anywhere in the HV. Also obliterated in central and western NY. There's a few uglier spots...especially if its an open south facing area. Woods are still 100% covered though. Driving around today it was quite a bit less in the lower parts of the city.

ski MRG Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 34/30, briefly spiked to 44 but the snowpack has held up very well. Just about to do a little grooming as things are already setting up. Looks like some more snow may get in here soon. Sorry to all those that lost their cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very similar to here...you have like 8" or so? Being tucked up against the spine on the east side FTW. 32F with -SN. Starting to stick to the cars and deck.

Just about to do a little grooming as things are already setting up. Looks like some more snow may get in here soon. Sorry to all those that lost their cover. Nice...how much do you have there? Looks to me like 6-7" or so. I've got a patchy 2" or so here as the torch really did a number on it. West slope torch FTL. We were in the mid to upper 40s yesterday afternoon and evening while you were still close to freezing. I still have about 70-75% coverage, but most of what's left is the icy, sleet laden snow from the 1/12 event. Pretty much all the snow from the 1/13 upslope and 2 minor events from last week is gone. Hoping we can have a net gain on Thursday night, but I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
