eastonwx Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Currently there is about 8"snowpack here that is covered with about 1/2" ice (it supported my weight; I'm not huge but I'm not skinny either!). My question: Is snowpack that is ice covered have any more or less impact with radiational cooling than a regular snowpack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Yup, maybe time to open a new one - Feb. 11-13? That threat is dead for right now...very little support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glacier you currently have is nowhere near "fresh". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the glacier will be solidified even more Tues. AM and Wed. AM 'round these parts! Forecast lows are 3 and 1 respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Cold morning here at the cabin. We have climbed to 6 from a low of 4. Love the sun rises here, deep blue sky with orange clouds streaking by and in the distance I can see the con trails from jets as they follow the NJTPK south. It's fun to track just how far away they are from our location. I hope we see a bit of snow flying around this weekend, I bet the head honcho at our mountain 20" or more by Monday. Our official level is 18". Going to be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our official level is 18". Going to be close. I'd like to see some too, I'd love to get at least 1/2" since imby the total so far is 39.6" after Monday. Got all freezing rain Tuesday-Wednesday, and this weekend kind of faded but now appears to be making a possible comeback for at least some minor accumulation. Having to work to get to 40"! Snow depth here varies, as much as 6" where there was snow from before last Monday, to about 3" elsewhere, but it's a solid snowpack. And about an inch of ice cubes on top of that under the trees. I think your 20" or more (snow depth) call by Monday will be good up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 9.5" snow depth on the front lawn. Layered couple inches snowcone on the bottom, 6.5" snow in the middle and 1" ice on the top. Good amount of water content in there, waiting for powder on top sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Do you have a name for that recipe? Yes it's called a great winter cake All that's left is getting to the 50" mark, all great winters did that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pending warm up notwithstanding, it is still only Feb. 8th. A couple of inches tomorrow and you're one Philly shorti snowfall away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of inches tomorrow and you're one Philly shorti snowfall away. That's why i want that 2" snow tomorrow every flake counts hehe, just normal climo here on out would eclipse the 50" mark this winter it would have to switch to spring quick like 2011 to fail to make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
