Whineminster Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 18 minutes ago, wxeyeNH said: 31.9F Light snow. Snow this morning became moderate snow grains with blowing snow most of the day. Only 2" of very dense snow. Temp finally made it to 32.4F at 4pm before falling back. Snow grains went to freezing rain by mid afternoon and briefly plain rain. Sleet showers by early this evening now over to very light snow. Icy, snowy mess. Snow banks along the roads are really high. Bring on the wind... I'm excited I'll be up there for 3 days this weekend....hopefully the mid week and weekend deals work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimetree Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Traveled from PortsmouthNH to Attitash today. Definitely a different world up here. Banks are very high along 302. Roads were a little tricky today but not bad taking it slow. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yikes....it was almost RIP dendy. Black ice city. 32.1F with light snow and sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Heavy snow, 31.0° F. Very graupelly though. West winds have kicked in and mixed me out. Max was 32.6° F at time of FROPA, still glaze on the trees. My Davis anemometer was frozen in place so I had to tap it to get free again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Nice wet 33-34F paste going on out there... sticking to every little twig. Only a few tenths so far of slush but it's stacking on the elevated objects. Went to pick out dinner with huge aggregates coming down and man, this winter has been something else. The snowbanks have been huge for what seems like months, with the need to pull out slowly and try to look around the snowbanks for traffic... walkways are like waist to shoulder high banks lining them and roads are snow covered with slush and the morning sleet/snow. Sloppy storm and despite a bunch of these events with no real snowpack change in depth, it just adds even more substance to the snow and the snowbanks. Like a mini-Tahoe style pack that's just moisture logged and deep. The only problem is spring will be real sloppy with this much SWE locked up as pure ice and then dense snow on top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cut Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Wind is here - instant roaring thru trees. It was dead calm 10 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 That lit up quickly. Flow turns cyclonic W/WSW and the residual low/mid level moisture needs to get wrung out. Still, later on should see the stronger wind max disrupt the flow and blow it downwind. Decent downwind drift probably from radar too with VAD showing 50kts at 6,000ft.

alex Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Good snow overnight ; 4" giving a 6.75" storm total. Enough to bring the stake over 30" for the first time this season (32" to be exact) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I lived in a snowy climate I mean snow is great.... But it gets annoying after awhile having to deal with a huge pack and constant accumulation.... I'm glad we have summer too... In fact I wish we had 5 months of a 2' pack and cold and then 7 months of 85 degrees with TSTMs daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I have no recollection of the April 28 1987 snowstorm that dumped 21” on Worcester. 25” in Princeton Will probably remember it in detail and he wasn’t even born yet... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something were to actually break down in either they would fix it to keep operational, but no improvements are being done. It's a bit ironic that a problem with the clown maps is one of the reasons why it is being delayed. But after that and the low level cold bias are fixed, it will take another 30 day stability test until it's operational. So we're basically April at the earliest.

"-The model forecasts exhibit a cold bias in the lower atmosphere that became more prominent after late September 2018." It may be good news that it appears as we near the cool season, because that's when they typically turn some of those parameterizations on. That could mean an easy fix.

OceanStWx Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I mean the more I think about it the more I'm blown away that clown maps essentially ended the FV3 implementation. That probably goes to show you how many HIGH-END users look at the snow maps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncforecaster89 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Just wanted to drop by to say, “hello”, to all my NE friends and tell you I’m really rooting for all of you to get a KU before the season concludes. Will be surprised if the period of 3/3/19 to 3/15/19 doesn’t produce at least a warning event for SNE...and a possible blizzard. Been waiting all season in hopes of chasing the big dog/KU and/or blizzard in SNE. Been pretty discouraging as I intentionally passed on a couple significant events closer to home in expectation of a much bigger event up here. Ironically, the timing of a prospective big event may very well occur when I’m unable to chase. Specifically, I’ve already booked a trip from March 4 to the 14th back to the Florida Panhandle for a last family vacation prior to the birth of our baby, and to document the progress of Mexico Beach 5 months after Michael. Regardless of how things develop synoptically during the upcoming period, I’ll still be following the progression and hoping it manifests into a huge event for this sub forum!
