Allenson Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 certainly not great for skiing or the snowmachines - but you couldn't get much better weather for pond hockey. just gotta roll with the punches. Absolutely, gotta roll. Last year was similar. Didn't ski as much as normal last winter but skated a bunch and had fun doing it. So far this year, I've only skied a handful of times and have yet to lace up, but I will soon. Maybe this weekend.... Anyway, light snow still falling and based on a couple of upstream webcams, we might have a nice burst headed our way. Picked up a couple more tenths since earlier this morn. You know it's bad though if we're making note of tenths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skierinvermont Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Your location says Lyme Ct,..??? where did you get the 2 inches?? Sorry.. posted earlier in the thread I'm in Waitsfield, VT. Got close to another inch over night, nearly 3" of pure fluff on the ground now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adk Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Looking the WRF from yesterday and then the WRF from today I think the whole green spine will pick up another 3-4 today ...two day totals in the 8 inch range...are prob. pretty reasonable. Not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Exciting? 2" in Vermont isn't exciting, that's what I call pathetic for January 5th. I can't believe the skiers up there are desperate for every inch whereas we still have a nice 3-5" coating on most lawns here in Westchester 10 miles from NYC. What the heck is going on up there the last couple of winters? It's as if it just decided to stop snowing in the North Country ever since January 2009. It was great up there until that point and since then winter for NNE has been a farce. Everyone expected them to do well up there this year with analogs like 07-08 and 70-71 being thrown around, but this has actually been like an El Niño winter for them in terms of snowfall, obviously not talking about temps which have been colder. We need a few good SW flow events...I'd take snow-->ice/sleet here to get the North some snow they deserve. All on target except the boldface (and this is a Maine-centric comment.) The "real" snow ended with the disappointment that was 3/2/09, but I measured 33" from 2 storms 2/19-23 that winter and depth peaked at 49". And Maine has been the anomaly for temps, with the departures increasing to near-record levels as one moves north. A number of the LR forecasts posted here included that phenomenon, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Looking like another near miss (or graze) for the weekend, but maybe some serious cold after mid month. Bottom so far IMBY is -1, which is kind of pitiful for my frost pocket location.

You know it's bad though if we're making note of tenths. We just had a nice burst of heavier snow come through Montpelier, vis looked to be down 1/2 mile or so for maybe 45 minutes. Nice, big flakes. Looks like it coated up the roads pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Nice squall at Plymouth right now based on their cams. I had a couple of snow showers today, but nothing much. 32.6F with some streamers trying to move in from my W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps two consecutive days of surprise fractional snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Eric maybe you get the band going thru Plymouth. fingers crossed for ya I would rather be at home near the NH border than in downtown PWM.

dendrite Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 It's coming for me. I'm going to watch it approach you on your cam.I'm hoping to get in on the less impressive band to my NW. Maybe I can get 1/4SM vis for a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I see flakes falling out the window of my cube in PWM. I looked out about five minutes ago and it was sunny. Now, just as you mention, I look out and flakes are flying. Nice surprise! At least I get to see them falling. Yesterday I was so engrossed in my lab work that I didn't even catch the snow falling. Hey OT, but was up your way last week. Ate at a place called Walters, in PWM. Great food! Walters ... never heard of it, but I don't eat out often. Glad you enjoyed! The old saying is that the more you spend here the better the weather gets. Keep that in mind next time you visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wokeupthisam Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 It's refreshing at least to note that the Auburn Wall of Drought is impervious to a change of seasons. Any radar echo, approaching from any direction, can be sheared apart by the dome-like atmospheric anomoly that encircles my town (depicted by the red circle) Here's the latest victim, a renegade snowshower thwarted in its attempt to cover my brown leaves and green grass: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
