Def going to be in the upper 50’s to near 60 with the clouds already out. Seperately, I’m not nearly as unsure of downsloping as I am of how a Pacific with a massive UL trough in mid winter completely messes with climo into NNE. Surface looks benign but the atmosphere in general is torched. Pretty incredible. I should have noted the -PNA is essentially peaking today..... Honestly that's just what guidance had. I certainly didn't pull any magic...lol. Post front atmosphere with 552 thicknesses and increasing sun angle usually equal torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the coldest rain thermodynamically possible... We had that last night. An nour of 31.8 crap and the 32.3 for hours. It doesn’t freeze nor melt the 4” thick ice pack...just rots on top of it. The NAM cooled a little at H75 up here so there will likely be a quick thump of 3-5” frozen before we go R/ZR. Hopefully today is a big melt/dry day and then we limit the QPF as much as possible tomorrow. I’d like to thaw the ground out and let the water soak in ahead of the late week system. Usually the most challenging scenario wins out so I’ll probably get 3” of sleet and then 3” of rain from the weenie storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 0.4" IP/SN with a bit of ZR at th end. Was thinking of icefishing today, but the wind is gusting 20-25, so even with warm temps it would not be nice out there. Better to work on inventorying the woodlot - less windy in the woods and the pup will get hour of scratch and sniff. Saw a 4-7" forecast for the hood tomorrow, the P&C this morning has 2-4, and the low-middle-high table has Farmington at 1/3/8. (and a 1% chance of 12"+ ) Those high-end numbers are loony tunes.

It helps me with my monthly budgeting, too. I know exactly what I am paying per month (this year $152 per month) and we do auto delivery. One less thing to think about. I have done it in the past where I watch the market and try to buy when it is low, but I found that tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
