Mahk, if you go to the URL and type in the page number after deleting the page shown it should take you to that specific page.

Will I read that you are not overly excited at all about the pattern after this weeks winter set up, are you about ready to punt the first 15 or so days of this month or do you see any promise for sne, any potential for something sneaky which looks to have gone by the wayside at least for this week.

 

 

 

I'm always looking for stuff....esp being in the interior. We can have a putrid pattern/airmass and still get a nice event ala MLK 2010...particularly in the dead of winter when climo is at its coldest.

 

That said, I don't see any particular threat that peaks my interest right now. So we may end up waiting until mid month to get something. Hopefully something pops up before then.

Wow upgraded to the latest software, and as always, there are issues when that happens.  This one seems to have more that the other upgrades.  IPB will sometimes do some whacky changes that don't work with how we have the forum tweaked here and they have to go back through the code to see where things are changed.  Just have some patience and things will be resolved.  You can always check the Help Forum to see what's going on.

at work for the first time since the storm, nice to see heavy snow down in SE CT, stuff is solid too, hard to sublimate this stuff. Yea looks about as boring as it can get but after 4 days of playing in the the snow its all worth it. Retaining the snow has been great, at least we have that.

Thanks Will, the cold is not entirely wasted, ponds are freezing up fast we are getting a pick up game of pond hockey Friday night and bringing the kids skating Saturday morning.  Skiing is epic right now, entirely different from last winter.......I really think some of the recent winters have spoiled many of us living outside the mountains.

For anyone going to an Ivy League school, don't use "peak my interest". Use pique. That is all.

I want my money back. New software blows. Change it back until it works

[Brian5671]

Down to 15 here-a rare cold morning, I don't think we've been in the teens yet this year.  Snowcover becoming a bit patchy in spots...especially south facing areas.

10/2, brrrr

[Logan11]

It got down to -2.4F here before the clouds and flurries moved in.  Deep snowcover FTW. This is going help sustain us right into next week even as the pattern goes to hell.  But I image we all have to deal with  a day or two torch probably before any relalignment to an eastern trough.

It was a great few days after the Saturday thump.  Let's hope there's more in our immediate future.

-5 this morning in Bskersville section of New Hartford

[ChrisM]

That would be a 10* difference over 5 miles, but I suppose they radiate well.

[Mr Torchey]

What a great morning, very dry cold and no wind feels great. Wood is finally frozen and its splitting so easily nice deep breaths of polar air.  Great winter week!

I went there for science, not english...though still a bad mistake on my part. I know better than that, lol.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

sn- here atm, enough to coat the cars, nice surprise.

[ChrisM]

I'm going to make snow toight just to see what accumulates at 5* or lower should be interesting.

[ORH_wxman]

Looks like the airport at ORH got down to 9F. Not bad for terrible radiation. That was actually below MOS by several degrees. Amazing what a deep snow pack can do...not just right in your backyard, but upstream as well. The airmasses don't moderate nearly as much. Last year we were trying to advect what few cold airmasses we got over bare ground in the Great Lakes .

Nice.  Totally invisible to the nexrad.  Suddenly milky white sky here suggests we might see some flakes too. 

[Allsnow]

Where's the cold?

[Cold Miser]

What "new software" are people talking about?

[Mr Torchey]

upgrade is coming along nicely guys!

[mahk_webstah]

Where's the cold?

 

right here.

below average stretch here

[OSUmetstud]

how much snow does kevin have on the ground?

 

[ChrisM]

I'd guess 13 OTG right now maybe 12.

[snowman21]

Got down to 22 here as far as I can tell. At least that was the temp at 6:30 this morning. Coldest temp this winter so far.

[Cold Miser]

I'd guess 13 OTG right now maybe 12.

Driving down to Nyack was depressing.  Got down here and there's barely any snow around.
