MarkO Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Wondering the same thing. Nothing worse than iced over slush going into a cold snap with additional snow. I think most if not all melts tomorrow though. Mid and upper 50s should do the trick. Maybe Lowell stays chillier longer with the cold tuck though? I thought maybe if we dryslotted and that secondary surface low kept us cool, it might become an issue, but looks like more rain filling in. I'll make the decision in the AM. At least the plows came out to make a pass on my street. Only took 'em about 5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 29.4/28. Ugh... do I shovel the 2.5" of mashed or hope it's gone before the freezeup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I'm hearing ya, but all I'm thinking is this (could be the vodka tonics getting to me): 30.4/29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I had to clear, can't risk the glass driveway knowing we will be slow to warm here tomorrow. Up to 26/24. -fzra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisStraight Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 what time stamp? Because it's torchy I think he means this one Ginxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I think he means this one Ginxy that's a common mistake in map reading, that precip has already fallen, look at the link I posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Good amount of snow. Going with 1.9". Could be more, but best guess. 1.5 after rain so it was at least 1.9 IMO. Unless I see a different report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. OF PIKE Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 that's a common mistake in map reading, that precip has already fallen, look at the link I posted that is what I would think is going on the old "look where 0c 850 line is at the end of the 6 hr period , when precip may have ALREADY stopped an hour or two prior. Click the next 6 hr period, how much precip you see falls west of where that 850c line WAS in other time stamp. Most is well east...which means it ended before 850's were below 0c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Its going to freeze up somewhere, that's a given. When I left the cabin yesterday there was still about 2" of cemented snow otg and about 1" of solid ice on the drive. Add 4-5" of snow and tomorrows precip to that and it ain't going anywhere till March. Down here it's been a different story and while I believe there's no snow in my immediate future (agree precip delayed by 6 hrs by maps) it is going to freeze up tomorrow afternoon/evening. I'm not sure I believe the 50's push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 how the heck would you say 1.9, I totally loled, Scott call it 2 ,Geezus,thanks for the laugh, I really need it tonight Well based on other rpts and then radar etc. It might be more, but I'm not going to risk inflation. Maybe 2 is a good ball park, but I try to come up with a method to my madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Shoveling was right idea, 26F with freezing drizzle and everything well glazed. I'm dumbfounded that the town only sanded and did not plow. Street is already starting to lock up with frozen tire tracks and 4" ruts. Brand new DPW director from out of town clearly not familiar with our CAD here. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand new DPW director from out of town clearly not familiar with our CAD here. lolHave always heard that they leave the snow when the forecast is for rain to follow in order to let it "soak up" the rain and sleet. I haven't heard a plow go by here at all yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would leave the snow, let it ice up then remove it when precip stop Oh' I know. Long driveway and snow blower getting on in years so wanted to take care of the bulk. I started before the full transition to sleet to ensure I would have a crust to dig under and lift tomorrow for final clean up. Also have 5 buckets of salt/sand to spread for the brief window of low 40's I get tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 PVD is NNW. The meso models with the mini low developing are right on it seems. That cstl front taking on a more NNE-SSW shape. The winds may come around to more NW later on. 35 here at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncletim Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 13 and very fine snow in Rangeley, ME - looks like about 3 inches so far. Interesting that Jayhawk reported windy conditions at Saddleback a while ago. Down here close to town there's not enough breeze to blow the powder off the balsams.
