January 14th Rain/Wind Obs

I had to step out to the store to buy some materials for a school project. It was 45F and cloudy with light rain. I needed to use my windshield wipers. A few ugly snowpiles hanging on but they are really not wintery. This reminds me of late March or November. While I noticed a few puddles, I would not consider them dangerous, so hopefully most of the precip stays offshore or only affects a few people. I worry for them. If they are walking along a road someone could splash them with cold, wet puddle water.

 

Can we move on to something interesting?

not seeing flooded streets at the rain rates advertised, minor puddles, NBD really just very meh typical rain storm, not even snowbanks to block the flow.

 

When did 0.5-1" of rain become a hydro issue for New England?  This is tantamount to cancelling school the night before for a few inches of snow.  We really are becoming weather wimps!

 

I'm up to 0.22" and had an even faster wind gust of 8.3mph.

So this includes the rain into Thursday?

Pretty meh, but it is the only weather ya got. I guess someone could get a deep puddle if the drains are clogged...

Yeah it's the equivalent of a meh 2-5" snow or something...where schools are closing and the like and people are posting about dangerous road conditions.

Not rain up the mtn at stowe, thought profiles would support snow by 11am latest. Decent precip

It's 41F at 1,500ft and 34F up top. Very well could be wet snow higher up but I honestly haven't been paying attention. Cleaning and paying bills amid making sure the basement isn't taking on water. All the standing water around makes me uneasy, as it's looking for anywhere to go.

Guess you have hydro issues.

Latest stowe cam up top has good visibility , pathetic that at 3.5 k , cant snow right now, thought it would be snow by now.

 

I'm not sure you are fully grasping that it just doesn't want to happen right now, haha.  Sometimes it just snows at least excuse possible and an event like this would be 3-4" wet snow above 2,000ft and other times it doesn't want to snow at least excuse possible.

I'll take some pics when I'm out in town, there's not necessarily "hydro issues" as the ice jams and the like cleared up from the last thaw... but there is an astounding amount of standing water on the frozen ground.  Like entire fields covered 6-12" deep in water.

They'll be fine, there was 15-20" on ground 7 days ago ......

 

I think its amazing that Dendrite has like 10" on the ground and the mountains look like that.  This has been one bizarre first half of winter.... but yet fascinating.  Our region has so many nuances and little nooks and crannies and there seems to be extra variability this season than most others.

The usual rules don't apply this winter it seems. Just like when parts of southern/central NH get 10" of paste while it rains from BTV to MPV to HIE like that system a couple weeks ago.

Hopefully you guys get a couple big upslope events in the next 3 weeks. I'm heading up to Pittsburg in mid Feb. They still have some snow but its getting pretty thin.
