NNE Winter Part 3

Recommended Posts

u guys are great, with all you recorded data making up for my sketchy memory.  I do think that you guys up north must have done much better in that late march storm than I did down in the MRV.

fwiw-I find these historical discussions very entertaining whilst we are in a lull without much to track in terms of future snowfall.

 

any chance we get that N.VT americanwx gtg going before I turn back into a NY pumpkin???

Meanwhile I had about 25F milder than yesterday morning's -18, because of the overnight snow dump. (All of 0.2", but the 0.01" LE ended my string at 11 days with no measurable precip!) My season's total of 68.7" is 0.4" below my avg thru March 5, and if it's a week before anything significant arrives I'll be 4-5" under. Easily made up - I hope.

Thanks for the table. However, 2009-10 remains the poster child for upside down snow totals. IMO, we could wait 100+ years and never again see BWI's winter snow total exceeding that for CAR.

2009-10 was horrible for snow up here, I had 55" for a seasonal total, Pretty good signal for something significant around the 13th right now, Of course we will have to see how it plays out

I'm off today so have been running errands in town, but Mansfield has been socked in while the sun is out in town. I can't imagine it's adding up to anything more than a D-1", because radar is showing nothing happening...but still always fun to see the snow cloud parked over the mountain obscuring it. It's amazingly persistent, not like a snow shower that moves across the landscape, just a white veil that sits in one place.

Clearing out. Time to radiate.

MAV has -5F at CON tonight and -6F for Fri AM. LCI is -5F and -2F. Meanwhile, BML, HIE, and SLK take it home tonight with -29F.

-23F at MVL...then a high of 25F tomorrow haha.

I just looked at NAM MOS and they aren't even comparable...-8F at MVL. NAM also HIE and BML at -16.

NAM MOS has BTV at +1 tonight while MAV is -17F.

Huge differences in the short term forecast.

Event totals: 0.7” Snow/0.03” L.E.

 

Yesterday morning there was an additional tenth of snow after my observations, and that marked the end of that system’s snow.

 

Details from the 6:00 A.M. Waterbury observations:

 

New Snow: 0.1 inches

New Liquid: Trace

Temperature: -12.3 F

Sky: Clear

Snow at the stake: 12.0 inches

 

The next opportunities for snow appear to be Friday night into Saturday with a weak frontal boundary, Sunday night into Monday with weak low pressure skirting through the area, and a subsequent system Monday night into Tuesday.  There are also hints of an even larger system toward the end of next week, but that’s pretty far out there and not making into the BTV NWS forecast discussion yet.

Right around -20 this morning. Getting toward the end of midwinter cold, one would think. My latest -20 or lower was 3/9/07, latest -10 or lower just two days later, in 2005 (and same date in '03.) Most subzero mornings in March was 7 in 2003 (plus one day right at zero), and that mark might be in play, as tomorrow will almost certainly bring this month to 5 subzero minima and models show some cool wx down the road a piece.

This one is taken from an overlook in Groton, VT looking east towards the Whites. I believe we are looking over Allenson's hood at Mt. Moosilauke.

 

 

I'd say that's looking more NE--the small bump on the far left looks like Blue Mt., just above Groton village and the bigger stuff behind would be the Franconia Ridge. I believe the hill just above the swinging bench is near an area we backcountry ski at quite a bit--Galusha Hill on the Tophsam/Groton line.

 

Looks like a nice day, for sure.

I think your right about the location. I know that I was on my way to Groton and was on the west side of 302.

Dewpoints are super low, -16F. This pattern blows for snow. Nothing on the map for at least the next week. Might as well let spring come early then. Might not surpass last year's total after all. Need 13".

 

Currently at 21.7" below last year's total.  Only 3 winters in 15 have brought that much snow later than today's date, 2001, 2007, and 2011.  2002 missed by less than 1".

 

MAV has a 60F range for HIE tomorrow...36/-24

I'd believe 50 - I'll probably have a mid-40s span today - but 60 would be otherworldly.

It would be great to end the season with a bang up here, especially for you NW guys.  Let's get a storm in here next week and then bring on spring.

 

Only -1.6F last night at my 1100 foot location.  I must save so much heat being 700 feet above the surrounding landscape.  Hit the last row of my woodpile today.  Started with 6 cords, down into my last one now.
