hvysnow79 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yep, sub-freezing here in Hanover, NH and it's raining. Looks to be about the same up at home from what I can tell. We have light rain and 32F here in Oford, trees and other objects are getting iced up. Noticed NWS has now extended advisory for Southern Grafton. Reports from a friend that just left that roads are iffy and interstate 91 is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klw Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Well that was a much nicer run than I thought it would be when it was 29 and raining earlier. First half it was mostly snow with a bit of sleet mixed in. The second half it was more sleet than anything else. At the end it was sleet/ lt rain - i think.

Ended up looking more wintery out the than when it started. I'll take that as a win lol. Snow didn't even shake off the trees so it still looks sweet outside. I was afraid we'd go back to looking like a thaw-freeze pattern and lose that fresh snow look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenson Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Well, found some icey roads on my way home last night. Temps were right at 32 or 33 depending on where I was driving through. Came home to a temp of 32 and things glazed up a little bit but not bad. Had some barely freezing drizzle for a while last night and then at some point overnight, the temp spiked up to 36. Back down in the upper 20s now and the wind woke me up this morning, ha-ha. It looks like there was a sleety accumulation here sometime yesterday too. Some fluff tomorrow night?

borderwx Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 didn't bother to open my eyes to see what time it came through, but man, house a shaking this AM. had to lean into a bit walking the dog. breezy by Newfie standards. 15F I imagine there will be some funny vids up on Mt W. with the newbs trying to make the walk in 100mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 129.3 mph gust for MWN... very nice. I wish they'd build a standard construction house and drop in some trees on top of the observatory deck.... would make the webcam more interesting. Curious how much of the house would be left by spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Local radio forecaster Roger Hill said that the Mt. Mansfield site reported an 80mph gust before cutting out. Absolutely ripping up there last night. Max gust recorded looks like 80mph but plenty of 60-70mph+ stuff in there, too. 80mph is pretty windy even at 4,000ft. Last winter we saw a SW gust of 103mph in December but this is tops so far this winter. 7:45 UTC (not sure why it says AM) was the 80mph gust.

tamarack Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It's windy in AUG, but nothing special (yet.) Yesterday's little event was kind of a trifecta. Light fluffy snow 8-noon (1.0", 0.07" LE), sleety snow mess 5-9P (0.5", 0.13" LE), then 0.04" zr 9P to about 1A. Temp never passed 30, unless it briefly bumped up this morning after I left for work. Last night's commute was routine, tho slow; this morning's had a few icy spots in AUG. 06z gfs has 0.3"+ qpf for this area, and GYX is thinking nice 15:1 stuff, which would make for advisory level snow. Nice if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winds here as well have been nothing to write home about, Someone i think can pull 3-5" out of the thurs night fropa with a little enhancement and some higher ratios, Saturdays event is not looking very promising attm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
