gravitylover Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Did anybody else see that the communications tower at the top of Sugarloaf (ME) blew over this afternoon while it was blowing ~130mph? There are some great pictures floating around on Facebook. Crazy conditions on the high peaks around New England tonight. I saw Mt Mansfield avg at 108 with gusts to 132 at 7pm and Mt Washington at 171mph! There was surprisingly little damage here from the wind today. Some branches and a tree here or there but a lot less than I expected. I'd like to think that all the weak ones were culled over the last year or so but I know that's not true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Albany going with 3-5" here, citing expected 18:1 ratios in their AFD. I believe that 3" would be miraculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 I'm really over this winter. My driveway is still a block of ice and it's a hassle to get the cars in without them sliding into some weird position. There's a reasonable walking path and the lower 25 feet is relatively clear but narrow. It's been cold without the prize and I haven't been able to get out and do the things I like to do and the ice has been annoying. I want a few inches of snow out of this midweek storm but don't want it as much as I want warm and dry. Julian, did you ever cut up that birch that fell in your yard a while back?

It finally fell the rest of the way in one of the snow/ice storms and just shattered into wood chips on account of being rotted through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer. White or paper birch is hard to come by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I hadn't seen this map from Albany before. Pretty interesting although I think it exaggerates the topographic influence a great deal. I'm in or near (hard to tell with the funky projection) the 76-100" speck just past the "e" in Poughkeepsie. There's no way I average anywhere close to that, especially for 1981-2010 climo. And for Gardiner to average just 21-30" while the Shaupeneak Ridge is over 60" seems pretty implausible.

Gardiner is a snow hole from what I know. I knew a guy who lived there a few years ago now who would constantly post pics of very little snow in his yard in comparison to others around the area. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 1.9 inches here, now 27.1 for the season. Very surprised this morning. I had almost given up. Now tonight WC app says 3-5, and Sunday night 5-8? I'm not buying those totals yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 1" is generous for what I got this morning. It was well under that on what was bare ground yesterday and 1.1 on the cars. At least it was fluffy and I was able to use the leaf blower to clean the driveway. I always enjoy doing that especially when a neighbor sees me and does a double take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew eastern Ulster had shadowing issues to some extent. Didn't think it could have been that drastic though. If you've seen evidence of it on the ground instead of just generated by an elevation algorithm, then I believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I am officially excited. Not only is there a reasonable chance of snow, but said snow will get me out of a visit to the in laws in the berkshires on sunday. win-win. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could meet advisory criteria for sure, although I think odds are against it. It's a small, late-blooming system with a suboptimal trajectory outside the benchmark... like 39N/69W on the Euro and even a little further east on the NAM. Loose ML temp gradient on the NW side means no real argument for banding, and the DGZ is shallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
