powderfreak Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 From Banter thread but will live on in here: What a Sunday out there. -22F this morning on the full moon clear skies, fresh deep pack...it looked like the surface of the moon this morning at -20s. Sun is out and temps are rising fast. 16" of snow depth in the yard. There's still a pretty good glaze from the ZR before the snow on the pines...they are feeling it after acouple days of solid weight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 It has been a spectacular day. You can really tell how snow starved we had been. I don’t know the last time I saw so many people on snowmobile trails. Not just speeders either, skiers, snowshoers and people just out for a walk.

powderfreak Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Put together this latest storm's snowfall readings on Mansfield at the High Road Plot. 19" total and I'd wager there was close to 2.0" of water when all was said and done. 155" on the season so far, tracking below the 20 year average but we have now hit the same amount of snow we had in the entire 2015-16 season, ha.

I can't remember but I think he recorded a -34F last year. That might be the lowest temperature since moving to there. I had a balmy 0F up on the hill. Never do good with radiational cooling my best is CAA temps. It is really beautiful around here with the ice on the trees. Starts just north of Tilton NH on Rt 93. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, anything below 0 is completely unnecessary...actually anything below 20 degrees is unnecessary. It should just stay at 32, that way we can still have snow, but no one has time for this cold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 3.0" of 17:1 fluff overnight. Switched to RA here in AUG, not sure what's happening at home under the dry strip. Yesterday was my 1st 20/20 day, for a mean of zero. Makes 18 of 22 winters here reaching -20 or colder. (Misses were 01-02, 05-06, 09-10, 12-13.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at some COOP stuff a while back and saw a -35F even all the way down here in the SVT valley banana belt during JAN 94 at the Dorset COOP. So guess it's not impossible..but I will take the under on that...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 77 years ago on nearly the same date, CON hit -37 and PWM a head-exploding -39 just a stone's throw from (mostly) salt water. Even NYC shivered at -8, their 3rd coldest morning on record.

danstorm Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 This is a healing thread for snow-starved weens around the Megalopolis. I'm taking my family up to Lake Placid/Saranac Lake this weekend and can't wait to get out in the depths. I need some snow in my life and I have no problem traveling for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 It's snowing pretty nicely out. It's like my house is generating it looking at the radar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 31.6F Thick fog. Gray and wintery today. Light snow started around 8am and gave me about 1/4". Bit of freezing drizzle during the day but temps have remained below freezing. Ceiling has been very low so mostly in low clouds all day. 9" at the snow stake and the snow is dense with quite a bit of sleet mixed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Lowery day for sure. Something's in the air here in AUG - fog, dz, frdz, can't tell (could go outside, I suppose.) A number of stations reporting precip outside of the areas of radar returns; maybe it's originating too low to give a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klw Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I woke up to 2.2 inches new overnight or last evening. It was snowing at a nice clip when I put the dog out just before 8. It must have kept going for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Early this morning I received a text about an upcoming Winter Weather Advisory for our county. There’s actually quite a patchwork of advisories out there in the area, with what looks like the lower valleys omitted. Our point forecast suggest a storm total somewhere in the 3-5” range, which seems consistent with the BTV NWS map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
