It seems like the moon is always visible but like tonight, its probably light snow as the flakes are just so incredibly tiny. It's only -2F out so doubt its diamond dust. I generally think of that as early morning stuff...like 12z time frame. Diamond dust is one of my favorites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your right about the morning time for diamond dust, I know when i stay in the Rangely/Eustis area when snowmobiling, Many nights they see snow the 30:1 stuff that falls during dim moonlight, Its basically how they get a lot of these higher snow totals, Seems like they upslope on a regular basis, Riding up in the 3,000-4,000 elev range, I run into a lot of -SN as well as rime ice.

rnaude241 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Love the snow falling at night, especially with most people in my neighborhood still having their Christmas lights up. I'll be going to the Patriots game tomorrow. My pal's and I are going to have to drink our beers quickly before they freeze. At least I won't need to bring much ice to the tailgate!

mreaves Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 So I have a cousin and her husband visiting from England. It’s their first time over here and she picked this time specifically because she wanted to experience a white Christmas and some solid winter weather. Fearful of the annual Grinch period around Christmas, I tried to convince her to delay her visit until February or early March for a better chance of experiencing a truly snowy period. I picked them up from Logan on December 22nd and it has been an epically wintry period for them. As PF was noting above, there has been some snowfall virtually every day since they arrived and some truly deep winter conditions. They are flying out from Logan on the 5th so it looks like their stay may be bookended by winter storms. If this is the pattern they bring, I may pay for them to fly over again next December.

It is, but it's usually insane, with traffic usually backed up down the exit ramp onto 93. I think I saw they are opening Jan5th or there abouts...at least school vacation will be over.

So these subtle shortwaves provide just enough lift/cooling to get the job done. Probably not true diamond dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2004 my dad and I grabbed Subway and ate in the car with an 18 pack of Coors Light. Once you poked a hole through the frozen foam on the Sam Adams inside the stadium it tasted just fine.
