Lava Rock Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Just took nice little valentines day snowshoe hike around our woods. Surprisingly there is some good snow out there. Only about 7" cover, but looked and felt deeper. My wife wearing here old 80s era swim parka from UCLA. Good for cutting the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 -17F last night, one degree shy of my 23 year record of living here. Looking forward to the "big" event starting late tomorrow. About 5" is the biggest snowfall (much was sleet) of the season. Maybe I can score several inches and then it will probably warm up to the mid or upper 30's during the main show with my usual cold air damning. Should end up with a net positive. Any of you guys deer experts? Last night must have been brutal for my herd. No deep snow for insulation from the wind and cold. Wonder how cold they can take it before hypothermia sets in. -17F with that roaring wind is obviously much harder to take than a calm radiational cooling night. Have seen them today. PF, How bad of a hit is it for the ski resorts. Yesterday and today brutal cold and then loose another day on Tuesday. The small areas must be really hurting. My local area (Ragged Mountain) keeps their sites so vague that the average flat-lander really doesn't get any weather information and limited trail info.

My local area (Ragged Mountain) keeps their sites so vague that the average flat-lander really doesn't get any weather information and limited trail info. Our staff biologist once said that a northern deer in winter cold can maintain core temp without being active (e.g. lying down) if the air temp is above -30F. Of course, that's without much if any wind, and also for a healthy and well fed deer, not one that's starving or walking around looking for something to eat. Don't think we reached 5 here today, shooting for -20 tonight as winds drop (we hope.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The small areas must be really hurting. My local area (Ragged Mountain) keeps their sites so vague that the average flat-lander really doesn't get any weather information and limited trail info. Its definitely a hit. At this point though its what everyone expects...to the point that everyone is so done with this winter that no one is freaking out about missing some visits. That ship sailed a long time ago. No one expects anything different than an arctic out-break during a busy 3-day weekend, followed by a rainer for the vacation week and then possible sub-zero temps following it again. Only winter 2015-2016 can come up with that type of crap, lol. Pretty much everyone in the ski industry has the same opinions that most of us WNE and NNE posters have, haha. Just end it and look forward to next winter. This winter has become a rolling joke for most people. It makes 2011-2012 look like a banner year.

Just end it and look forward to next winter. This winter has become a rolling joke for most people. It makes 2011-2012 look like a banner year. PF, thanks for the input. Even though people are mentally done with this winter the bills still have to be paid. So bad is bad but every ski day that is lost hurts the bottom line more and more. It's only mid February so we can't compare this season to other crappy years but how bad is this year compared to other lousy seasons to date? You guys get the upslope but places like Loon and Waterville Valley in NH get little. Of course they have snowmaking but that must cost a fortune. The snowmobile industry must be hurting the worst. We have a local dealer up the road.The the same machines he had out in front of the store in October still sit there. He is sitting on a ton of inventory and it must really be killing him. Not one ridable day this year as we have never had more than 5 or 6" on the ground at any one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 There are Winter Weather Advisories up throughout the area for snow and mixed precipitation with this upcoming storm, and Winter Storm Watches up in western New York State where more snow/ice may be an issue. This looks like one of those sandwich storms, with 2-4” of dense snow tonight on the front end and potentially some more snow on the back tomorrow night. The models vary somewhat with respect to the backside snow, but the BTV NWS forecast discussion suggest that moisture will be drying up pretty quickly, so no big accumulations are expected tomorrow night.

eyewall Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I don't like front enders and I suspect in the valley we will end up with bare ground by tomorrow night. I don't usually put much stock in the back end snow showers as the cold is usually chasing what moisture is left. Perhaps the mountains will see a little of that though. This isn't the system we were looking for but it is the one we got LOL. If we get a little ice accrual that could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 14.2/9F very light snow. My point and click has 46F for tomorrow. I would bet $10,000 that will not happen. I think lots of ice is in store! Freezing rain all the way down the coast to Richmond VA right now. I think this is going to bust way cold at the surface, at least in the NH valleys.

We may just get a burst of precip and then dry slot early tomorrow, and by the time the rest of the precip arrives you get mid to upper 30s rain.

J.Spin Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Event totals: 2.9” Snow/0.57” L.E. My wife was up around 5:30 A.M. or so and said that the sleet has only started up a few minutes or so before I made my 6:00 A.M. observations, at least based on what she was hearing on the windows. Indeed there was a fairly thin layer of sleet out there on top of the new snow when I checked it. That overnight accumulation really bolstered the snowpack; the 0.57” of liquid in this core is actually the most I’ve measured in a single core this season, just beating out a core of 0.56” back on December 29th from 4.3” of snow. Also of note is that this storm just pushed the season’s total snowfall past the 50” mark at our site. That’s typically the first snowfall benchmark I look for each season, although if things are on track it comes in December. Details from the 6:00 A.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 2.9 inches New Liquid: 0.57 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 5.1 Snow Density: 19.7% H2O Temperature: 26.2 F Sky: Sleet Snow at the stake: 5.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Saturday storm looks minimal. Let's just close this winter out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I’ve got the lasted advisories, projected accumulations maps, and Winter Weather Advisory text from the BTV NWS; basically the Winter Storm Watches from yesterday were converted to Winter Storm Warnings off toward the Saint Lawrence Valley. In terms of accumulations, the projected snowfall map looks pretty good for this area – we’re in the 3-4” shading and we’ve already hit the 3” mark. It looks like that might be just about it for now however with the back edge of this part of the storm approaching from the south: It’s hard to complain about that initial outlay of frozen precipitation though, more than a half inch of liquid equivalent will have been put down into the pack before the lull that appears to be to the south.

ApacheTrout Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Freezing drizzle/light rain. Cleared car windows were glazed within 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 A light glaze on top of an inch or less of snow/sleet here in Winooski. Let the return to stick season once again begin with this latest punch in the gut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 3" here with a decent crust on top. This is actually more than I expected from this gut punch of a system. Nothing falling at the moment and from the radar JSpin posted above, it looks like it will be a bit before anything else's falls. Hopefully, the crust protects what we got a little bit. Unlike eyewall, I don't want to go back to stick season completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the CPV the furnace and rain are pretty effective when we get on the warm side of a storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, two-weeks at Christmas with no snow on the ground, now this. De-frickin-lightful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
