Trees on the lines in Swanzey. 31.5 degrees here at about 800 feet. Fun times! Just noticed we're 31.8F still. It's just drizzle right now so maybe still some -ZL high up in the trees?

Never again will I let the pack absorb the ZR. What a freakin mess. Lots of gunshots out in the woods with the sound of crumbling ice behind it. I'm a little jelly. No gunshots here, but I also haven't been outside much. Eversource is almost up to 15,000 outages. 32.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With thermal advection shut off everyone should be rotting around 32-33F except exposed higher elevations. I see everyone in your county is at 32-33F...even at 1150ft. Then there's your ob of 30F mixed in with them on mesowest. Latent heating/cooling from freezing/melting is what makes everyone rot at that 32F point. I've thought for a long time that the RWIS sites near me need to be calibrated (even though Plym faculty tell me they're fine). I've long thought Sanbornton was 1F too cold and Canterbury 3F too warm. Sure enough, SBN is 31F and CAN is 35F right now while I'm at 31.9F. Even 1350' at Gunstock is 32F.

CapturedNature Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I spend the afternoon down in the CT River Valley helping my folks. Amazing differences between this side of the mountain and the other. We had glazing earlier but temps poked up enough to allow that to melt for the most part. Saw no difference riding up to 1K but immediately on the eastern side you could see the glazing as I descended down into the valley. Side roads were still slushy and their driveway was a sheet of ice. Glazing wasn't significant but enough to be an issue. What's interesting to me is that stations around there (Enfield/Somers) are reporting similar temps to ones around here but there is much less melting there compared to here.

If you scroll back a bit see my crazy experience earlier. I have now dropped to 31.8 and it is treacherous on street and driveway.

ORH "mixed out" a bit and is dropping again with a WSW wind. Their pressure bottomed out at 29.63" and is starting to rise again too.

dendrite Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I really hope we can get this snow and ice out of the trees tomorrow before the Xmas system. I want nothing to do with that with wind and those arctic temps on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connecticut Appleman Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Power just went out here in Ellington. Don't know if it is ice related or not. Lucky we are on the end of two circuits on the grid so if one goes out, it will switch to the other in exactly 30 seconds, which it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Been above freezing for several hours now (34F attm). Lots of ice dropping off branches as I drove to and from Wachusett.
