powderfreak Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Started as sleet and rain at the mountain when I left at 5:30pm... now just light rain at home but holy slick ice. It has been so cold the ground surfaces are frigid so 35F -RN is freezing to sidewalks, driveways, etc. The dirt roads are skating rinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happens a lot after a very cold stretch, It can get quite treacherous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPV/Montpelier is -8.7F for the first two weeks of December...that's incredible to me. Decent 60 year period of record there with well established norms. Cold, cold, cold.

No matter if it were weak positive ENSO, weak, moderate, strong, or super El Nino. The closest matches I found were: 1952 1957 1976 1979 2002 2014 All of these years but 1952-53 had cold Jan-Feb. Here's the January-February composite for those years: What does this mean? Maybe nothing...but interesting nonetheless. That's not bad at all. If you stick with the weak El Nino winters you actually get '76/'77, '77/'78, '78/'79, '02/'03, and '14/'15. Results will be much simliar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Quite a torch morning. 38F here with lots of sun. I see Gene up to 42F on the hill. Lots of low 40s in the high terrain up here. Then you get into S NH and you push into the U40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Not sure if we made 40, though it was close. Was disappointed with the gusty winds mid morn, as I had two trees to drop, the 2nd needing to be wedged directly upwind. Then the wind backed off nicely and both trees landed where I'd hoped, rather than on the toolshed. Temps have quickly dropped under 32 this evening, getting ready for our dusting to 2", or whatever, tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
