MikeB_01 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Slightly more on the accumulation for this run of the GFS. NAM keeping totals down most likely due to slightly warmer surface temps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I had a little bit of zr this morning, but mainly just a cold miserable rain. Looks like 1-2 inches for anyone outside the favored lake areas from this evening through Saturday morning unless you get under a band. Then back into the 50s Monday and Tuesday with rain before getting cold by the end of the week. Hopefully we can get something out of the cold window that is coming in because I doubt it is very long lasting. This pattern seems like every time we get a decent precip maker its warm and we rain but who knows, maybe I'm just in a bad mood because this is the first time in 10 years I have worked any days between Christmas and New Years.

Sorry for the pain you have had to endure with work between the holidays....I too feel your pain... Not sure if this means anything but was at some friends house in McCandless this week and friend told me about his shed where he found it was stocked with huge mound of about 50 lbs of pine cones. He said at times he did see the squirrels toss the pine cones to the ground from the trees, but he didn't realize they were storing them in his shed. Lets hope the squirrels are onto something with extended cold this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their skill can't be much worse than a 384hr GFS map right? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the GFS \ Euro \ Canadian have some sort of storm for late next week into the weekend, but its anyone's guess what effect if any it might have on our area. That's probably the next window to watch, then my guess is we would relax again then hopefully reload another cold shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't justify the 25$ for constant let down. I still will follow and track the storms but my enthusiasm is dwindling. Anyway. The Euro last night showed some precipitation south of us next week. As much as I like strong storms. I would rather see an overrunning event that hits the whole area with a wide swath of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrels gathering nuts in a flurry, Will cause snow to gather in a hurry. In addition, a tough winter is ahead if squirrels’ tails are very bushy. Squirrels may also bury their nuts deeper than usual. The idea is that these animals can sense impending weather, and are preparing for it.When a harsh winter is on the way, pine trees produce as many cones as they can - they somehow “expect” that squirrels and birds on the coming season, and will forage for more pine seeds to stock up ahead of time (you hear this one about other trees too – acorns, walnuts etc).

I think the squirrels must be constantly drunk around our area because we have a dome that prevents snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
