Ahhh. Maybe Monday then

The torch continues

Tomorrow should be in the 60s with southerly winds. If the sun breaks out it could approach 70. Elephant having fun.

Hey Jerry, hit up the Arboretum yesterday for the first time ever. Nice place.

Isn it pretty? I haven't been in awhile....not since they've been less dog friendly. But my wife still goes alot. Peaceful and right in the city. I've xc skiied there in good snow years.....like it's Vermont.

Man it is cold, too.

Its 39F here at 800ft but 2,200ft on Mansfield is showing 33F and same elevation at Bolton is 34F. Summit of Mansfield down to 29F now and continues to fall.

Puts the freezing level at around 2,500ft right now.

watchin obs. from the greens and even the berks/tactonics2- 2500 feet anywhere in western mass seems to get interesting tonite in heavy bands as nite falls

This is a gem from BUF AFD:

ALONG WITH THE HEAVY WET SNOW...THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME

THUNDERSNOW. LOCAL RESEARCH FROM THIS OFFICE HAS SHOWN THAT

FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR THUNDERSNOW INCLUDES A DEEP MIXED PHASE

CLOUD LAYER (>4K FT) AND A TALL ENOUGH CLOUD (GEN >10K FT) FOR ANY

GENERATED CHARGE TO SEPARATE. THESE CONDITIONS WILL CERTAINLY BE MET

AS THE MIXED PHASE CLOUD WILL BE ROUGHLY 10K FT DEEP WITH MODERATE

SYNOPTIC LIFT THROUGH A WEAKLY CAPPED MOIST ENVIRONMENT. THUNDERSNOW

IS MOST LIKELY EXPERIENCED WITHIN SINGLE BANDED LAKE SNOWS

(PARTICULARLY EARLY SEASON EVENTS)...AND IN DEFORMATION ZONES OF

MARGINALLY COLD SYNOPTIC STORMS WHERE MIXED PRECIPITATION IS COMMON.

THE PRESENCE OF GRAUPEL IS NEEDED TO ALLOW ELECTRIFICATION TO BEGIN

AND THUS THE NEED FOR THE DEEP MIXED PHASE CLOUD. THE CHANCE FOR

THUNDER HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE HEAVY SNOW AREAS.

Good discussion from BTV on the brief winter weather side up here for the start of this event...

WL ISSUE WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR DACKS FROM 00Z THRU 12Z MONDAY...FOR

COMBINATION OF SNOW/SLEET AND HIGH ELEVATION FREEZING RAIN ABOVE

2000 FT. SOUNDINGS CONT TO SHOW A COLD LAYER BTWN 925MB AND 870MB OF

TEMPS BTWN -1C AND -3C THRU MOST OF THE EVENT...SUPPORTING A MIXTURE

OF PRECIP...HOWEVER WITH STRONG ADVECTION OF WARM AIR ALOFT WITH

825MB TEMPS WARMING TO 5C BY 12Z MONDAY...EXPECT MAINLY RAIN BY

MORNING. IN ADDITION...SOME LIGHT ICING WL BE POSSIBLE ACRS THE

SUMMITS OF THE GREEN MTNS FROM KILLINGTON TO MANSFIELD TO JAY

PEAK...WITH MAYBE A BURST OF SNOW WHEN PRECIP 1ST STARTS THIS

EVENING. SNOW/SLEET ACCUMULATION ACRS THE DACKS WL BE A DUSTING TO 2

INCHES WITH ONLY MINOR AMOUNTS ACRS THE GREEN MTNS.

I was wondering about freezing rain and/or sleet as 2,200ft on Mansfield is now at 32F and 4,000ft is 29F. Also, 2,100ft in the Bolton Valley neighborhood is 33F. It is now precipitating so there may be some marginally frozen or freezing precipitation above 2,000ft as BTV says.

However, I do not think its snow in the higher elevations based on what I can see. I've gotten pretty good at being able to tell what's falling just by looking at the mountain and using the visibility... and to me it looks like rain up to the cloud bases at 3,000ft. None of that wispy white look that's classic snow.
