CoastalWx Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Okay guys I am going to post this on the off chance any of you have heard of such a thing. My neighbor just stopped by and asked me if I saw the strange phenomena last night during the storm. She said after the power went out and during the heavy snow she took her dog for a short walk on our dirt road. She said in the trees there were thousands of sparkling lights. At first she thought a branch was resting on the powerline but no it was not that. She said it seemed to her thousands of fire flies had come out during the storm. I nodded and grinned but was thinking the lady has gone nuts. I have no explanation and just can't believe her story but the neighbor has always been sane. Some type of St Elmos's fire? I have no idea and hesitated posting this but it was just such a weird conversation. We did have thundersnow so there were convective elements in the storm. Don't have to muck up the thread with a response unless someone has heard such a thing! LOL maybe fire flies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Post general Memorial Day weather/activities in the new thread. Let's keep this one about the storm. It was nice of Kevin to make a snowstorm thread in late May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 What a wild winter! It starts with a hurricane going east to west into NJ creating a blizzard in WV and it ends with thunders now in New England during Memorial Day weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I had a few mangled snowflakes fall here between 1:30 - 3:30am with the two bands that moved through. It's been fun tracking all of these storms this year. Have a good summer folks, I'm out of here. I missed it by 10 minutes here...I woke up at 0230 and nothing was happening but I looked at the radar and saw that those heavier echos had just passed. I thought they would have produced some flakes. Sorry to hear that you're leaving....I know I can't always be on but I try to chime in from time to time. Have a good one...

Ginx snewx Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 yeah, movie theatres had to be packed yesterday!Our Museum had its best day in 2 years. Knowing the weather helps us staff accordingly.

Tolland Death Band Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I am at around 500' on Winnisquam but woke up this am to something very strange across the lake in Sanbornton. A farm and the Steele Hill Resort were blanketed in snow! They both sit at maybe 1200' so I can verify where the snow line was in the southern Lakes Region. Sorry but did not take pics very disappointed in myself for that. It rained like a sonofabitch here but there may have been flakes however did not weenie-spotlight it. What an event!!!!

dendrite Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Dendrite, it would be sweet to break this thread out starting like 4 days ago to capture the lead up analysis and obs. I tried, but the software puked all over me. I had all of the storm posts from page 1-30 something selected out and then it lost them all. It gets finicky when you try spanning multiple pages. It took about a half hour to get that far and I'm not about to try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 46.8F at of 1:20pm. Looking SW toward Ragged Ski Resort I can see the trails are still white starting at about 1500 feet in elevations. All natural snow at my elevation has now melted as of this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
