But I've never really had that problem I guess. Even in ORH I lived on the northern side where there was not a lot of traffic so the snow stayed nice for the most part.

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 My point isn’t whether or not it looks nice or not. I does, I enjoy a good pack as much as much as the next guy. But I don’t rely on it for sports, down here, or income. So if it goes poof, so be it. Won’t obsess over whether tomorrow is 31.9F or 32.1F on my back porch, and whether or not I need to pull a tarp over my yard to protect the last inch from evaporating.

Expand ORH averages 71 days per winter with snow cover and several of the hill towns north and west average even more...so I will disagree with your "isn't up for debate" proclamation. Even up by Ray's area on the CP averages around 60 snow cover days per winter. That is 2 months worth of snow cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Euro could produce a light event on Saturday if that trough sharpens just a touch.

So there hasn’t been a lot of melting outside of Kevin’s tantrum this morning. Expand Drove in late to Quincy and was surprised that they were still mostly snow covered at this hour. Guess that paste job is giving a bit of resistance. I expect plenty of bare spots by the time I leave, but right now, its only really in the typical spots (next to roads on the sun torched areas)...the flat ground is all covered. So I'm guessing most of our folk outside of 128 (and perhaps some inside there) will still have cover in several hours when the front starts coming through. Anyway, Euro is pretty boring...attempted a cutter for 12/18, but it kind of failed. Kind of got sheared out into nothing. Still watching this weekend though...prob nothing big, but it could still trend into a modest event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
