HoarfrostHubb Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I don't want just 2"...I want a 10"+ bomb in April if I shoulder the blame for a bad winter, I get credit for the bookend thread when we get bombed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 The top pic is from there as well... I'm serious I recognize that. Believe it or not I think the kid in the picture belongs to the family I bought this place from. It had been in the family for over 100 yrs. When you hike around here you'll find the remains of old hunting cabins like that way back in the bush. Good huntin' here.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the Trustees of the Reservation for a listing of all the local hiking/recreation ops in this area. Pic from late March '10 when the snow let go.

Anything can and has happened as deep as the first week of May. in any other year yes, not this year--we've had an almost nonstop torch--hell we could barely get it to snow in January, so the odds of a late season event would seem decreased given the seasonal trend.

weatherMA Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Yeah nam has a nice band of snow move through from 00z to 3z across CT/RI/SE MASS...probably C-2" on the grass. Coating for most, but maybe an inch or two on the grass in heavier bursts taking the nam verbatim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it shows precip behind the 0C 850 line, but how do you translate that to coating to 2"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it shows precip behind the 0C 850 line, but how do you translate that to coating to 2"? Just looking at twisterdata temp/precip maps and sim radar and taking a guess. I have no clue really. I think that would be a good guess though. It has a burst of 20-25dbz for CT come through for like 3 hours with .2+ qpf for parts of RI so I think that would be enough for an inch or two on the grass if it happened as shown. Only for a really small area though. Most of the area gets less then .1 and probably would be too warm for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 It could never snow 20+" in October either......until it did Always fun to get the spreadsheet and calculator out....easy enough to test the theory of putrid winters and how April fared...I'll call a "putrid winter" as anything less than 45" for ORH through March 31...here's how the following Aprils fared since 1950: 1952-1953....5.8" 1953-1954....T 1954-1955....2.0" 1972-1973....0.4" 1973-1974....3.7" 1978-1979....5.4" 1979-1980....T 1980-1981....T 1984-1985....4.9" 1985-1986....0.1" (0.3" in May) 1988-1989....3.7" 1990-1991....0.2" 1991-1992....2.8" 1999-2000....2.0" 2001-2002....2.2" (0.7" in May) Average.......2.3" Climo...........3.5" So the putrid winters do in fact average less snow than climo in April...but their frequency is actually good as 9 of the 15 produced 2" or more...they just haven't produced the big storm. Maybe this is the year we get a bigger April storm after a dud winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Maybe Zucks and MRG can dance nude? MAY ACTUALLY SEE CHANGE OVER TO A BRIEF PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS BEFORE ENDING ACROSS OUR WESTERN ZONES. HOWEVER...EXPECT LITTLE IF ANY ACCUMULATION AND...IF THERE IS...IT WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE MONADNOCKS AND E SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES. TEMPERATURES WILL NOT FALL MUCH FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...BUT BY DAYBREAK FRIDAY THE MERCURY SHOULD MAINLY BE IN THE 30S ACROSS THE INTERIOR...TO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 40S ON THE COASTAL PLAIN. -- End Changed Discussion -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I would choose snow in a heartbeat. It's always near and dear to me. But, if I had a choice of 45F temps or 60-70...I'd have to role for 60-70. The only way 45F temps would be nice is if we had an approaching storm. Sunny and 45F temps translates to -8C temps at 850...plenty good for snow..lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
