Wow... Suddenly got very windy. House shaking, freight-train windy. Was not expecting this...

 

Yup--it was the scary kind of wind.  Not as rough as it was when it first started, but still very high gusts.  I wasn't expecting it at all.  I went out at 9;15 to get wood and it had just started up.  I thought that going to be the extent of it--but boy it just kept ramping up.  Surprsied I still have power. 

 

40.6/24

Winds howling for the last hour.  Up to 38 on the Davis......worried I might get a tree down or power out--seriously.

 

Temp spiked to 42.7 at 9:15 dp spike to 31 at 8:00, down to 40.8/24 now.

 

Wow, much warmer up high apparently. 

 

You know it's windy when it's even roaring down here.

 

Temp fluctuations are weird.  26F when I got home at 9pm,  29F at 10pm and now down a degree to 28F.

I managed to stay below freezing (except for a momentary excursion to 32.1) all day.  I saw that G'field/Bernardston/Northfield all managed to do the same.  Didn't realize you were still hanging onto the sub-freezings.  Congrats!

 

The graphic I posted shows when the temps jumped here.

Yeah still about 6" here. A lot of grass starting to show in exposed areas though. 

 

 

 

We're all gonna lose it this weekend anyway...I think the north slopes and woods will keep some of it, but the exposure to high dews is just going to be too much I think. If it was a 12 shot of >36F dewpoints, then we'd survive. But its at least double that I think.

 

This slow drip we've had the last day or two doesn't help either...even if its not very effective. Slow drip for 5 days will start to add up eventually making the snow even more vulnerable to the late weekend assault.

Yeah for sure...there's really no purpose for it tbh anyway. It looks gross now even in less populated areas. It's close to Ji's "black snow the day after falling" that they apparently get in the deep south down in MD.

 

Hopefully we can start a new snowpack next week.

GFS looks pretty wintry for next week....the long range shows you how we might stay very cold if the PNA stays positive.

Yep. Think it has to do with how it sets up the -EPO. WHich, probably corresponds to it assuming the MJO goes to phase 7-8??

Yeah... GFS is impressive.

 

Souped up (compared to before) storm for Tuesday night/Wednesday... followed by a brush with the meat locker that does a number on CYUL/KBTV/KAUG etc and then it lifts a bit and gives us a pseudo miller a/b for D11 lol.

Looks like classic snow to ice for a lot of SNE on the Canadian at 144h though its close to staying all snow N of the pike in SNE...cant see soundings though and don't really care at this frame. Not gonna stay up for the Euro...not this far before a threat. Should be interesting to track the next couple days anyway.

yeah the GGEM has been maintaining cold signals for that time frame, thumbing the other models with the polar boundary - I find that interesting, considering it typically has a warm bias with that at this type of time lead.

I feel good about next week. I see a wintry appeal Tue/Wed.

 

Glad I put in "wintry mix" in the 7 day on Tuesday even though the op GFS and op Euro had like 40s/50s verbatim with rain on Tuesday.

I think you made good call there. We've been flirting with crashing polar signals here, and given to weighty snow pack N ...any excuse at our latitude for a polar boundary slipping south is usually a good bet.
