Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 It's brutal when people change their names often. That being said, Charles river was rock solid even yesterday which was impressive. Today it looked like you could skate on it. It's not often, it's about every 3-4 months which is all that is allowed by the subscription that I'm paying for... Happens far less frequently than a Tolland meltdown on a met. Deep winter, snow covering everything, wind, 12 degrees. This is what it is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthCoastMA Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 These torches suck. This melt and refreeze has also made spots in my yard shift around and look like fault lines. My front truck tires were stuck to my driveway this morning. Still better than mud though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 These torches suck. This melt and refreeze has also made spots in my yard shift around and look like fault lines. They sure didn't happen like this in 93-94. I'd imagine it's going to have an effect on the vegetation too. I bet we see a lot of the flowering shrubs not flower this spring/summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Lol at Bobby getting upset, just having fun, last night was one of the better ones. Will and I had a couple of posts back and forth about how someone could pick up a surprise 1-2, TTs were low but the NAM for two days had a squall line in Mass, ended up in CT. Definetly one of the better ones, glad Joey was up, great pics and video. The gust front with this one was impressive even IJD recorded a 33 which is high for them and they were southwest of the best. I posted the Danielson ASOS 1/4 mile obs, that ASOS rarely ever has that. Great night and great fun, glad I had massive computer work to get done. Good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet we see a lot of the flowering shrubs not flower this spring/summer Well we tend to have bare ground a lot in winter, but where the snow did melt yesterday....there are areas that have risen and sunk. Too bad I couldn't live on the other side where there is almost full coverage...lol. I wonder if it's related to the phucking rabbit tunnels I have.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 They salted last night, but had to do it again this morning because of the unexpected snow. They skipped the side roads, some were extremely slippery and completely snow covered. Didn't think is be shoveling when I woke up, but it was a welcome surprise. I think these little snowfalls that we've primarily had this winter so far is killing the snow removal budget. Just mobilizing the equipment in itself is a fortune.

Good times A lot of the mesos had a line through CT,RI, and SE MA which is where it happened. Pretty much 0.5"-2" widespread. It just didn't get talked about much because nobody really cared I guess.

Gust front was like a Tstorm, heavy snow and high winds. Impressive I was actually surprised it was able to maintain itself through CT...when we were talking I had discussed the steep lapse rates, but the inversion was pretty sharp at 800mb...so it was a low topped squall. But the low level lapse rate was able to sustain it as a squall for longer versus a more pedestrian snow shower. It is interesting that it was just one small batch...there wasn't much else. But that is the nature of the PVA/low-level lapse rate induced snow showers/squalls...they aren't widespread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 After a 12-18 hour hiatus, deep deep winter has returned Not even a flurry here in Lowell. Surprised to hear you got so much. I assume Matt referenced you? Matt Noyes: Broadcast Meteorologist Fresh snow is on the roads for some of Upstate New York and New England, from overnight and predawn snow squalls. I've posted a map on my Facebook wall that highlights exactly who has seen fresh overnight snow. Kevin in Tolland, CT, reports 2"-3" of fresh snow from these squalls and roads are a mess - while amounts like that are the exception rather than the rule this morning, even the fresh coating that fell for many south of the MA Pike has made things extra slick this morning.

I don't care one way or the other. If it snows, it snows, if it doesn't, it doesn't. I have a lot more important things in my life to worry over (my health being #1), This squall line was pretty well modeled. BOX had it in their grids, at least for my area.

Damage In Tolland Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Kevin, how is your grass green in early January? That fertilizer is the real deal! Well that is part of it..but the repeated warmth and high dews with cutters means that the ground isn't freezing that deep..Notice yesterdays pic of neighbor's lawns too..although he also uses Lesco And back to deep winter today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The cutters have made ground temps colder than previous years I noticed...snow pack is thinner to insulate during these cold shots. Frozen ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I know...I guess I'm just tired of hearing about it. Wake me when someone actually approaches a state low temperature record. Maybe one of the southern states will get within 15-20 degrees. Even in the plains getting an air temperature in the -20s or -30s at the coldest time of the year really isn't all that unusual.
