Cold Miser Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 ...On a completely off topic note, the old woman next door to me has talked nonstop for exactly 39 minutes. She stopped for a second and I heard her husband say, "sure", and then she carried on again. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogs could get injured. I would love to see mid 40s for 3 hrs I agree Steve. Futility remains king, and in the case of this next system I'd rather it play out the way that you say than have serious power line and roadway/ yard ice issues. I suppose if we were truly looking at the possibility of an extraordinary ice event for the ages I might lean the other way just for the sheer weather/ historic point of view. ...But this storm ain't it, so get it out of here, and move on to the next.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I'd take the 3-7" of snow currently forecast and run. Looks like another slap in the face for SNE skiing at the worst possible time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drstuess Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 It's possible but just for avoiding crowds I'd hit Mount Ellen at Sugarbush. Cover all bases lolGuessing Killington will be more than fine. Mt Ellen will be packed as well; no hiding this weekend.

Surface ain’t warming away from water I imagine you still have a shot...maybe even down to like Middletown for not getting above 32...but we’re toast here. I’ve seen this show before. .

Cover all bases lol I’m with my 4 year old son and that area is less kid friendly. I love Sugarbush. We are staying in Rutland though and doubt we can make it up there in the morning given the weather. Might even struggle to get to Killington. Thanks for the input.

ORH_wxman Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 That's prob big time ice in N CT and into C MA on the GFS. Lot of QPF between 09z and 18z with an elevated warm layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do that a lot around here ... it's pretty cool actually. I'm not sure the climate S of HFD allows for it ... I guess maybe in the hills west of Wilmantic? But they perimeterize these 50 by 100 foot square regions in their lawns, then put a rubber footing against the walls and ground. About 6" tall... fill it with 5" of water, ...which is a lot, but then it freezes - viola! skating rink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don’t want ice pelting me in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogs could get injured. I would love to see mid 40s for 3 hrs I could use some rain. The frozen ponds on my yard left from the previous storms have been shrinking. I need a replenishment. Alas, I've go a ping-fest incoming. At least I'll have my power though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The SPC HREF to me makes way more sense then any guidance. As far as temps goes. Maybe it’s wrong and this goes over BOS, but I like how it displays the srfc thermals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Based on the early alarms broadcast about this event, this could go down as an historical bust, particularly if there is nothing crazy ice-wise. 3’ to 5”. Not much Of a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s wrong and this goes over BOS, but I like how it displays the srfc thermals. Most of the really hi res stuff has little mesolow protrusions off E MA near Cape and PYM. That's how I see this going. It's going to lock in the airmass. I know everyone is all bummed out about torched midlevels but those dews draining down near the sfc are no joke. In the 2008 ice storm we didn't have any Arctic airmass at all and started the event as 37F rain but we slowly advected upper 20s dews into the storm. This one has a lot more to offer than that. Obviously not the same qpf though. But that's not gonna get advected out easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
