Pattern change on our doorstep - will it deliver the goods? General Discussion/ banter

[ChrisM]

Slight slight bit of ice top of ski sundown 1050'

[powderfreak]

Yea but you have fluff, folks like Will have solid cement.

 

LOL there's nothing fluffy about it anymore... the dog can pretty much walk on it.

 

We've been above freezing the past couple afternoons, then really cold at night... a little rain the other night changing to graupel.  Now a bit of freezing rain today.

 

This is now a durable 10.5"... really crunchy and crusty.  Like a March snowpack.

[Sey-Mour Snow]

wow, there is absolutely no consistency in the computer models regarding next weeks cold and the placement of the core of cold air. 18z gfs night and day from 12zgfs, looks like a more favorable set up for snow for us however later in the period..

[Mr Torchey]

Yeah this view is going to look a bit different by Monday me thinks... still have a pretty solid 10.5" here on the valley floor at 750ft (out by the fields on the right side of photo) but that's going to go quickly Sun/Mon.

 

Freak, would you say 10 inches is about par for the course up that way in mid winter or are you guys behind a little?>

[Clinch Leatherwood]

18z GFS looking pretty damn good in the LR.

 

Yeah but look at the differences from 156 12z to 150 at 18z.  Huge grains of salt.  We went from 510 bearing down on us to the 540 line tickling the south coast in six hours on this run.

 

[Mr Torchey]

love the 18z screw the cold, give us snow!

[powderfreak]

I'm sure it isn't pure fluff anymore, but even if it isn't glacial yet that 10" will probably still be equivalent to a 6" concrete.

 

Yeah no where near fluff, haha.

 

If you saw in the NNE thread, J.Spin did a liquid analysis of his 10 inch pack and found over 2" of QPF in it.

 

There's some heft in this stuff... though I know everyone thinks we don't get QPF events, just fluff events.

 

That big storm over the holidays gave up to 1.5" of QPF alone, so that's got some staying power.

Pretty par for the course for early January given what I've seen the past few years here.  Real snowpack depth is Feb/March.  Ironically, last year we had about the same as right now I think.

Thanks man, I was just curious.  

[Mr Torchey]

Temp up to 41 with some heavier echoes on the doorstep, have a good night folks.

[Damage In Tolland]

[moneypitmike]

Canadian model shows a significant winter storm midweek...European model brings bitter cold to New England on Friday! lots to figure out!

[HIPPYVALLEY]

30.5F -fzra

I was skiing in the rain at Wachusett. Ice was building on the lift bars. Roads and cars are ok for now. Rain seems to be done for a bit. 31F

[N. OF PIKE]

Nice jan rain. Nothin quite as disgusting.

thanks, take an afternoon shot on Monday.

[free_man]

30.8 very light zr

[Ginx snewx]

Fill your heating tanks soon, Nat Gas futures up 4.25 % as shorties bail, from Bloomberg. I think Carrie did not see the ENS yet. Note the cool word, lol.

Private weather forecasters egged on the rally Friday by projecting a cool blast from Canada stretching into the U.S. Northeast and Midwest in the next 11 to 15 days. But weather models continued to send "mixed signals" about the extent of the shift, according to MDA EarthSat meteorologist Carrie Silver.

[moneypitmike]

Just got back from Hadley to find my driveway a skating rink and everything glazed over.  -zr 30.6/29.  Cant' imagine the icing will continue for too much longer with that dp coming up.

Will you be able to make it to Gtg tomorrow with all the limbs and debris down?

[QVectorman]

Sorry...I could've told you that if you wanted to see the raw code. Most of the upgrade issues are tied to compatibility with other browsers/versions.

LOL.  I will be there.  You better get there early so I can get you your beets.  What time are folks getting there?  I think the thread said two or three.  My plan is to hang there for about two hours and then head back to the Pit.

 

Just had a mega roof slide.  What's a winter without losing a few slates.

 

30.7/29

[TalcottWx]

Steve we went to nat gas during renovations. Last year 2 mo in winter = 600 this year 200 for 2 mo

[N. OF PIKE]

If only BOS could get an inch of snow for every diet coke mike has during the gtg, futility would be a memory

[Mr Torchey]

43 degrees and pouring rain, a bit of a precip bust down this way much more than forecast.

This is awesome
