CoastalWx Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 11 minutes ago, Damage In Tolland said: Not true. It doesn't bother you if it melts. Your mood isn't affected. You have many here that enjoy it falling and then want it gone the next day . That to me is mind boggling. You get it.. you should want to keep it all winter. Who cares if the snowbanks get grungy. It's snow for the love of all that's good Because I'm realistic. It's gonna melt. Sucks, but life goes on. I take pleasure knowing it can snow nicely here as well. Yet again I pulled out another double digit storm, while parts of NNE have not done that in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love snow and I wAnt to always look outside and see it Otg during winter. I'll be honest.. it ruins it for me when a 6-8" storm is coming and 2 days later I know a cutter or torch is coming. It takes away my enjoyment of the snow knowing it's gone. It's why I'm always asking and worrying about it melting. Just how I'm programmed. And I know I'm not alone I am, I usually just don't post about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, i think there are probably more pack fetish people than he thinks. They just may not sculpt there driveway piles into razor sharp peaks.

weathafella Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 It bothers many of us to see it melt but as we get older allowing a torch and melt right after a big storm take away your enjoyment of the storm itself just doesn't seem healthy. One of our all timers was April Fools 1997. By definition that pack isn't hanging around. Yet that was among the best storms ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 We need man snow to build the pack, Then i'm all for some powder freshers along with more man snow, That's how you retain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More expensive but less strain . Do miss the whole routine and workout of dropping trees, cutting, splitting and carrying in up to 10 chord a year. But now I am OK with it. I still cut and split but that's for firepits. I have to watch HDDs for a living,huge difference in Dec year to year and it showed up in NG usage at work. He who chops his own wood is twice warmed.

If at any point in Jan or Feb there is bare ground it's a disappointment. This this this. And with a deep snowcover, even a 4"er seems like a big storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I need 14" of snow for my average. I honestly believe the models will show something appetizing by 12z Thursday for the weekend. Or even Monday/Tuesday system, EURO is very close to something large for the area. Stay patient folks, winter is coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet that was among the best storms ever. 20 Years and has withstood the test of time.....still #1 in my book, and it isn't close. April 1, 1997......then the rest battle for secondary proxy- Dec 14, 1992 is a clear second, too.....then its a cluster-f*ck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Powderfreak also spends all day at 3000 feet where fluff doesn't disintegrate as quickly. For residential areas at normal elevations it sucks a lot worse...obviously if I lived in an absolute sweet spot like jspin then you don't mind because the quantity is so much that even compaction won't ruin it.

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Will, the 30th system is still there and trending slowly westward on the GFS, EURO, CMC and NOGAPS as well as UKMET models. Also the clipper mid week is getting interesting as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I like the look of the 00z CMC with regards to the 30th system and the 2nd system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GFS has been pretty consistent with tracking the clipper across NNE. Granted, it did track it a bit further South this run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
