chietanen Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hear ye, hear ye! I, the seer of seers, prognosticator of prognosticators, do predict with great conviction and certainty: feet and feet. From your lips to the weather gods ears! So much for the concern for your rink back in Dec lol.. Its in mid winter form right now! Glad I listened to you guys! The forecast seemed so iffy back in late December/early January. I think most thought it would get colder, but there was concern about a strong or extended January thaw, etc. As it turned out, I have gotten more continuous usage out of the rink this year than any other year. There have also been very few days this year where the rink was unusable, maybe 3-4 at most. These are days when there's warm temperatures or rain/mixed precipitation. Last year, I used the rink from January 23 through March 17, but there were many days last year where it was unusable due to warm temperatures and rain. I think people forget how many "warm" days we had last winter because the whole "polar vortex" was thrown around so much. For the period from January 1 to March 8, last winter we had 21 days of 40 degrees or above, this year, we had 8 such days. If you include from December 21 (first day of winter), the range narrows a little, but it's still 27 days to 15 days. (poughkeepsie data) In any event, last year I had several days where it was too warm to skate in March, but there was a cool down the day prior to St. Patty's day, and I was able to skate the following morning. After that, it was done. We'll see what happens this year, but the nighttime temperatures look like they would support at least occasional morning use for the next week or so.

chietanen Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Was looking at the winter outlook posted by the NWS in October. For the period DJF, Poughkeepsie ended up -3.3 for the period, so they definitely missed the boat on that one. December was +4.6, January was -1.5, and February was -13.

IrishRob17 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Well I see water on the Wallkill again, meltwater on top of the ice that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 A couple pics of the Hudson from the Walkway today Wonderful shots. It's too bad there's not a way to track ice on the Hudson like there is for the Great Lakes. Would be interesting to see how this winter compared to other cold winters. Well I see water on the Wallkill again, meltwater on top of the ice that is. I'm starting to see ducks walking and sitting the roadways, pecking at clumps of road salt. Lots of animals are having a rough go of it this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chietanen Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Next week, especially Tuesday, looks torch-errific on the Euro! Widespread 60's Wish it Wednesday though, I'm off that day. Maybe it'll get bumped back. Perhaps we cool back down after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if others feel this way, but after a couple of warm days, my interest in tracking snowstorms wanes just the slightest. Not too much though!

I cant lie, usually once we get into March I start looking towards spring. This year is a little different but the writing is on the wall, the pack will go now sooner or later no matter what.

gravitylover Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 All of the years that I lived in Tahoe and Steamboat and a few other mt towns when it hit March 1st even though we all knew there was a good chance that the best ski conditions of the year might still be ahead of us I think everybody started wanting the snow in town to go away.

ENYsnow Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 18z GFS looks like a rain to snow scenario for some of us with an isothermal blue bomb for the high terrain of northwest MA and southern VT.
