powderfreak Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 There is just water pouring out of the woods. Heavier rain moved back, I thought this would stay east in NH. Just a roar outside anywhere you go from water coming out of every little creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the worst of the rain has moved out, we'll see how the river responds. It's just about bankfull now, another 4 feet in rise and I'm toast.

The glades did not close once from Thanksgiving to closing day - that's remarkable for no snowmaking trails with lots of natural obstacles (rocks and logs) that need to be buried for them to be open. As most places, however, the past few weeks have seen a huge dropoff in skiers - even with the great conditions. The few that came up loved it - great conditions and no crowds! But it's hard to justify from a business perspective. Granted, conditions got destroyed this weekend anyways! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Record high min for CON today is 55F in 1896. So far the low is 64F and the last hourly ob was 70/65. This would break the record for the earliest 60F+ min as well. The earliest 64F+ min is 64F on 5/9/1895. The earliest at the airport site is 65F 5/23/1955.

Lava Rock Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Only 0.26" here. Seems low. Put new reed switch in the Davis and it was recording, but will have to see what other local stations got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised they didn't have 60+ minima in the mid-April heat of 1976 and 2002. NYC had 70+ lows in each of those periods, maybe BOS as well. Went from 61 to 45 in just a few minutes as I drove north of Augusta. Sounds about right - we've been mid 40s all day though the 51 last evening will stand for the high. Mostly light rain here with a couple brief heavy showers and a rumble (1) of thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 According to the ISU site, this ties the highest dew recorded in April for CON with 65F. There was 1 hour of it in 1987 and 1 hour in 2011. Whether or not those were legit obs, I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Sonoran release in the D6-10 Euro ... Pretty classic anatomy actually ... If that happened, ... before any heat ever got here that would be a long track finger nail of Satan tornado day at the end of the run - The model had something like this suggested two days ago if/when extrapolating.. It dropped it, but apparently said extrapolation has now come into the extended range bully ... I don't really trust it ...for the obvious, but also because the GFS has been sea-sawing between an eastern ridge and trough every other run too... Some ridging in the east may be favored, however, given the GEFs tele spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been watching the river go over its banks at my property, actually very interesting to watch. Doesn’t seem to be rising anymore. Most sections are right at the top of the bank, which is generally a 6 foot or so cliff. The beach areas are of course completely unreachable. Gave me a better sense of where the river breaches. Another 2 feet or so and it would be at the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s at about 8 feet today, and there was anywhere between a foot and 3 feet water in my yard in 2017. Above 10 ft is when trouble starts. I’ve started flood proofing everything - all generators are now raised, and my new house that I’m building is about 2 feet higher than the water line from that flood. Still nerve wrecking when it happens though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 A couple of pictures. First one is one of our trails. I now that with a John Deere lol. You can see the debris from the old flood. To the right it’s normally a 5-6 foot bank. The area below is right by where I tap the maples; the river had just breached here so I could literally see the water pouring in. The great news - almost completely snow free now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
