powderfreak Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thought I heard some sleet or wet snow on the windows, but could really tell here in town but called up to the mtn and it's dumping. Wet stuff caked to the window... Flakes even in the base area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Actually got a slushy coating on the deck now at home. It's like white rain and rain with frozen cores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I can hear the peepers in the woods around my place now. Hopefully it's enough to get me through the misery mist. A few peepers were sounding off near our church in Farmington last evening, but they haven't awakened yet at my place. I don't think these next couple days will encourage them much.

powderfreak Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Ground now whitening up...pouring snow and sleet. Sticking to the last areas where the snow melted a day or so ago haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 That is pretty cool though PF. Hopefully you're still there in a few years when my family can all go skiing. I expect a personal weenie tour lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I meant the ski family lol. But yes, sleet mixed in with the rain here too. It had a snow sky look, so I bet higher elevations may have snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 miserysleetwithrain in progress Looked like even some mangled flakes were trying too. Still a bit of snow on some islands from what I can see . Looked like top 1/3 of Gunstock still had snow outside of trails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like top 1/3 of Gunstock still had snow outside of trails? Hrm...makes sense... the lake tempers early season torch days so islands could be a sneaky snow retention spot. It might also be that the copious amounts of drifting snow gets caught up in the trees and settles on the islands. Gunstock retains snow unexpectedly well... I assume because it's north facing. Some of the trails will have snow into mid may. Not bad for a small mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the trails will have snow into mid may. Not bad for a small mountain. Yeah it was just a bit on the islands from what I saw. Maybe because of drifting like you said. Gunstock is also a great snow spot. No downsloping like you have here where I am from the Ossipees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 37.7F moderate rain mixed with catpaws. Probably 75/25 rain to snow. We are right under the yellow blob in Central NH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Howling wind through the trees, heavy rain mixed with catpaws. 37.7F miserable. Anything blooming in SNE, forsythia? Newfound Lake still is ice covered but close to going out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Plenty of turns to go if the models are right. We’ve been watching this potential for a while, so it’s good to see that it’s still there as the dates get closer. There’s not much mentioned in today’s afternoon update, but the morning BTV NWS forecast discussion had plenty to say about the upcoming potential: .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 338 AM EDT MONDAY...LITTLE OVERALL CHANGE IN 00Z NWP GUIDANCE SUITE CONCERNING THE GENERALLY COOL AND UNSETTLED WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD. CONTROLLING SYNOPTIC FEATURE WILL BE LARGE EQUIVALENT BAROTROPIC UPPER LOW OVER THE NRN GREAT LAKES AND ONTARIO WED NIGHT. THIS CLOSED LOW WILL DRIFT ONLY VERY SLOWLY EWD...AND GENERALLY BECOMING QUASI- STATIONARY ACROSS SRN QUEBEC OVER THE WEEKEND. NORTH COUNTRY WILL REMAIN WITHIN ASSOCIATED CYCLONIC CIRCULATION AND SEASONABLY LOW THERMAL/THICKNESS FIELDS THRU THE PERIOD. AS SUCH...DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY WILL REMAIN SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW CLIMO AVERAGE...WITH VALLEY HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE LOW 50S THU/FRI...AND MID 50S SAT/SUN. CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS IS ALSO EXPECTED WITH CHANCES FOR LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY...ESPECIALLY WITH DIURNAL HEATING PERIODS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AFTN (30-40 POPS)...WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER CHANCES FOR THE WEEKEND (20-30 POPS). THE COLDEST THERMAL/THICKNESS FIELDS ARE GENERALLY THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH 00Z GFS 850MB TEMPS PROGGED AT -5 TO -6C. GENERALLY COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A MIX WITH SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY ABOVE 1000-1500FT DURING THE DAY THURSDAY...AND AREAWIDE THURSDAY NIGHT AS TEMPS FALL BACK INTO THE LOW-MID 30S. COULD SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ABOVE 1500` THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH SEVERAL INCHES POSSIBLE AT SUMMIT LOCATIONS. PREVAILING WNWLY FLOW WILL MAINTAIN COOL TEMPERATURE REGIME THRU THE WEEKEND...WITH ISOLD SHOWERS POSSIBLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Yeah Jspin, could be good over the next week. Certainly good for late season stuff. Was down to 38 above 700' in Meredith/Laconia area today in the hills. Was near Eek earlier at Funspot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Driving I-87 between Plattsburgh and Glens Falls in NY today it was impressive to still see a few small lakes or ponds in the eastern Adirondacks completely frozen solid still. I rarely drive that stretch but can imagine that drive would be atrocious in a snowstorm (in Essex County, NY) on I-87. Lots of hills, winding interstate, what looks like terrain made for enhancing winds between huge cliff, no cell phone coverage...not surprising that stretch often closes from jackknifed tractor trailers moving between NYC and Montreal.

CoastalWx Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Looks like the ice took out part of the town docks in Center Harbor yesterday. I could hear it from out place actually. That moving ice isn't screwing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 1.27" thru 7 this morning, probably a few tenths since. Saw some 3-4" obs from York/Cumberland Counties. This should bring the Sandy to near flood stage (real problems begin about 2' above that level) and by tomorrow morning the Kennebec will likely be in the waterfront parking lots in Augusta. Heard one lone peeper at 9 last night, plus all the wood frogs. Ice on Long Pond (Belgrade) is darkening; some late-week wind might clear it off.

wxeyeNH Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 1.30" last night and like Dendrite a bit of lightning and thunder. Still some snow in the darkest bogs and hollows. Newfound Lake should have ice out tomorrow. Just big black patches floating around. If we had some wind today it would probably be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
