wxeyeNH Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 A long-lasting very cold airmass is about to enter New England. It might not be record breaking or as intense as some that we have had but the longevity could make this very rememberable. Maybe someone can put this in perspective but I think this is worthy of its own thread... Discuss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Bad timing for skiing and Christmas break. This will reduce profits at a key money making time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Any similarity, pattern wise, to the December 1980 cold? I don’t recall that as being as long in duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the record-breakers like Christmas 1980; I think BOS had an afternoon max of about zero, spoiled by a cheap 12:01 AM high. Jan. '04 doesn't hold my minima record, but it has the lion's share of low maxima. If this upcoming spell verifies, I might go a week without ever reaching 10°.

She wanted to go to Mexico lol. Anyone know any good divorce lawyers? Ha ha. At least the slopes won't be crowded. I keep telling my wife it's a dry cold.

If BOX is correct, I don’t get to 15after tomorrow for a week. I don’t recall Jan 2004 too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine the heating bills to keep that running. I doubt she will ski. If the lifts are running I will board. Spent a week in Canada in early 90s during cold like this. One night it was -40 and that is still the coldest weather I ever experienced. It's all about layers and keeping all skin covered. Pres weekend 2016 at Killington was a good match. I rode all day in sub zero cold. Between the water park and spa she should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 As long as there's no big cutters and 50f wind swept rains, I'm happy. A few inches of snow here and there would be nice Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmorninglight Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Well I'm grateful that the grinch cutter turned out to be just a glaze. A net snow gain for northern ski areas. I think today underperformed up north but I'm happy with good coverage and off piste options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisStraight Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 1994 had a good cold spell, 7 nights in a row I was below 0 with two -20 nights, I lived in a valley then and it with no wind and the heavy snow cover that year the temp used to plummet at night.

Being in the warm sector of a cutter could happen. A night or two of record cold is interesting to me, a week of highs in the teens and single digits? Not so much.

Don't worry I hunt and surf in the winter. I'm used to miserable cold. I just wonder at what point do they delay the lifts from running? I noticed at Kmart almost 2 years ago that they delayed opening until 10 or 11 due to severe cold. I think wind chills were near 60-70 below. That was when NYC went below zero first time since 1994. Calm and minus 20 is ok for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxBlue Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 GFS kept our lows below 5 until several days into 2018. Epic duration of sub-zero nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Man, the duration and severity of this cold is pretty incredible....really just made note of it today. Wow. If we do not get a significant event when this breaks, that would be a chink in the armor of my outlook. I'd expect something decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we're entering the start of one of Kevin's deadly New England faux droughts. That would be a kick in the nuts. 15.3* Disney anyone? https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=gfs®ion=seus&pkg=T2m&runtime=2017122606&fh=174 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I cannot believe what I'm seeing on the models this morning. This is going to suck so much. The GFS has like -20C or colder from Day 3-10. The GGEM 2-M temps up here go below zero at hour 48 and don't go back above zero until like Day 9 at 18z before back to -20F on Day 10.
