NeonPeon Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Newport is in a state of emergency due to a gas main freezing. Schools closed etc. They have a small army down here turning it on bit by bit. Luckily my natural gas conversion is in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the thurs crap will take the shine off Just when a dense snowfall w/o a rainy endgame leaves the driveway and paths with nice "white gravel" traction, rain-then-freeze looks to return things to the bumpy skating rink that's characterized the season since mid November.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I think most of the snowcover will be gone here by Thursday night. Looks like 1.5" of rain and temperatures in the upper 40's coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping we can keep rain totals under 1" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be tough to lose your pack....we get a mild rain, but it is going to take a ton of energy to melt that glacier. Esp since the core temp of the pack is so cold.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Mixed skiing conditions today at Ski Sundown. Good in snowmaking areas, loose granular elsewhere. Very deep base depths and huge snowmaking whales. Less natural cover than in Enfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 1.5 to 2 inches of ice from top to bottom. It took an axe to get me a core that was usuable.

And, with all the summer homes, absentee pipes are bursting. It's a good thing that it's getting milder quite fast. The way this winter is going it's looking more and more likely that the only snow day my wife gets from her professorial duties involves zero snow on the ground, and about 3" to date, thanks to gas.

They haven’t tuurned everyone off yet, then they have to go back and check every appliance , to make sure pilots are off, before they turn back on. Gonna be a while, I hear more than the week advertised. You know it’s bad when the CEO passes out from stress during a PC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Question: Last year we had our roof re-shingled and now I gave open instead of covered rain gutters. Do you need to actually get up on ladders and clean snow out of the gutters by hand? I have never really seen anybody doing that but how will water drainage be affected during our rain storm? I roof raked the first 2 feet of the roof edge, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I roof raked the first 2 feet of the roof edge, Dis they go over the existing shingles or was it a complete strip job down to the sheathing? If they did that, I assume they would have put a strip if ice & water shield at the eaves which will help mitigate ice/water intrusion. I've personally never cleaned out a gutter from snow and the fact that you raked the first couple feet should help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That first write up about the blizzard of 1888 made that storm out to be sheer misery. When I was a kid (1982 or so) I had a family member who lived to be 106 years old. She would tell stories of what she remembered of the Blizzard of '88 as a kid. She even had an album with some photos. Was great stuff. She lived in the Albany area which got hit with the worst with snowfall amounts. As much as many of us want snow upon snow, I don't think we would want to be around during the times before modern snow clearing. I can't see Kevin surviving an 1888 scenario. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, stripped down to the boards and there's definitely a water vapor layer under the shingles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, that combo of snow, wind, and cold has not been matched in the Northeast since. Feb. 1978 had the first 2, April 1982 had all 3 in northern Maine but less of each (and far fewer people affected by truly massive snowfall.) A repeat would cause some ginormous east-west meltdowns, as Boston had a big pile of slush, CC probably a big RA event and huge beach erosion (have not read of effects there.) The only Maine site for which I've seen data is Gardiner, 6 miles S from Augusta, and they had 8" with temps 38/32. Slight difference from the 50"+ and near zero temps of the upper HV. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That snowicane reminded me a little of that blizzard with the north south gradient but it was more east with the 88 blizzard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t do/keep records. 2011/12 I had 14.8” for the season looking at the stuff WKev has so it’s within that realm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
