mreaves Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 klw suggested a new NNE winter thread, as the first one was over 1500 posts long and we need some juju to get this winter rolling along. I did not name it part II because we really haven't had a part I yet this winter. Anyway, hopefully the one small act of starting a new discussion thread will kick start what is quickly becoming a spectacular fail of a winter.

powderfreak Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Argh! Torch next week at Stowe? Monday looks mild (40F), Tuesday a little cooler (30s), then Wednesday is warm (40-47F) with what looks like an inch of rain. Thursday and Friday colder. Will be interesting but looking like a punt next week for snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday and Friday colder. Will be interesting but looking like a punt next week for snowfall. Spent 15 minutes on the phone with someone this morning about the "big storm" for Wednesday. She had heard it on the Weather Channel, to which I explained I think she meant big storm for the Midwest. She said they mentioned New England specifically. So then I had to explain how it's possible to get a rainstorm in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that it's basically golf season. Wednesday should be a net loss snow pack day. That's all we're looking for from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their switch from the midwinter "chick-a-dee-dee-dee" usually comes in late Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 I do want to make it clear that I'm not melting down. If this winter never gets going, so be it. And yes, I know that we can have good snow in March and April. By that time though I'm ready to golf and snow does me no good. # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adk Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'll give it till the end of Feb. If we're still skunked by then it is time to call it. Let's get to golfing. This just looks awesome for next week: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Snowmobile season CANCEL Yes, that is disappointing. This would have been the first year my son could ride on the trails on his own sled. Who knows, maybe we'll get a couple of weeks in after next week.

Its not good up here, Even up north, Lot of open water, Bogs unfrozen, Water bars in the trails, Thin base, One of the main trails crossing Moosehead lake is wide open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Since there is so little going on weather wise I'll pose a question to you mets or people in the know. During the summer there have been countless times that I miss really heavy thunderstorms. They seem more severe just south of me or up in Plymouth which is one town north of me. I have been trying to figure out why oris it just bad luck. I think I have possibly figured it out. Newfound Lake is just west of me. Its 7 miles long and about 1 mile wide at its widest. I realized that with a west wind or wnw upper level winds the cool lake in the summer might aid in the weakening of the storm. Maybe wishful thinking since surface winds are usually sw and not wnw during summer storms. Took this picture from the drone directly over my house looking due west. Would this amount of water (lake temps usually in the low 70's in summer) make a difference with thunderstorms? Would the lake make it slightly warmer at my location in fall and early winter before lake freeze over? PF, this is also a good picture of the NH highlands to my west which helps protect me from any left over moisture that made it over the Greens. Just things to ponder....

ApacheTrout Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I bought some ice-fishing gear this year, but the ice, well, it's just not trustworthy. The look-ahead for the next 10 days is homely, no two ways about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The look-ahead for the next 10 days is homely, no two ways about it. Newfound Lake finally "caught" last night and a thin ice film covered most of the lake this AM. It's going to have a hard time thickening. The southern bay which is 40 feet deep is frozen enough for bobhouses. Last weekend a friend who ice fishes says it was a "zoo" with everyone that normally ice fishes is confined to a small safe area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Par for the course for the first year where I spend more time in NNE than SNE (not that SNE is doing any better). I was SO excited to see the storms roll in from my location perched up at 1200 feet... but heck, I still love it up here, no matter what the weather brings.
