We are above normal Dec climo - if people need to guide their sense of happiness based on constant diet of some metaphoric dystopian cryo-horror drug like a junky that can't get to the better high, than you're just f'n nuts. You're in a great goddamn winter until further f'n notice. Deal with it. hahaha wow Agreed completely Tip, It's comical! From my perspective most seasons we've only had flurries at best before Christmas/new years. I'm sitting at 25 inches and still have a layer of crust in a good deal of my yard......

40/70 Benchmark Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I have zero issues with this winter so far. Yea, the huge thaws suck, but I'm pretty satisfied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 This is not even close to last winter. Even areas that are low in snow Dept. I’m not that high up on the scale, but people easily forget how bad it sucked except for one storm in mid November. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Not disecting the models like you guys do but I'll take the GFS. Maybe I'll barely be able to hold onto snow for this run. Then as secondary gets going and pivots around just keeps snow going and going into Tuesday. Meanwhile 29F Thick freezing fog and drizzle and my dirt road and driveway is a skating rink.

Prices might be a bit cheaper up here though Was that for just the generator and its installation and hookup, or did it include purchase/installation/initial fill-up of the propane tank(s)? If you are without power for more than two days, just book a nice hotel or an air b n b. Much cheaper. I don’t get the generator thing. Depends on the value of food in fridge/freezer that spoils, and on whether outage length plus winter cold causes burst pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whineminster Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 We're above climo, but that 30 inch storm on Dec 2 doesn't really count.....it's like a fluke. You know in statistics how you remove the highest and lowest value? That's basically what you do for snow. You could get 40" in one storm on Christmas but the rest of the winter could torch....IMO that's a poopy winter. A winter's grade isn't all about snowfall, it's about consistency as well- both in frozen precip and cold temperature. K? 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone has $7000 of food in a freezer please invite me over As bob said earlier... TMLP for the win. Keeps energy costs down and also I’m about to turn 26 and have never personally lost power for more than a few hours. Also... my neighbor across the street has a gigantic diesel generator and he said he has no problem running extension cords to peoples houses and has done it in the neighborhood. So I don’t really see the need to buy one. The only thing I’m really concerned with is my sump pump, at that has a battery backup capable of pumping over 15000 gallons of water. So god forbid that failed, I could run a cord across from my neighbors house to get that running. As for this event, no concerns here.

If someone has $7000 of food in a freezer please invite me over Not sure how. It's almost 26 years now, but in mid-Jan 1994 we traveled to the NH house to check on things (my dad had passed on 12/7/93, leaving the house empty) and while we were there 2 days our place in Gardiner hit -21 with wind and subzero max. Had the power gone away shortly after we headed west, we could easily have been facing a 5-figure repair bill - in 1994 dollars - for plumbing and water damage. We are below avg for Dec, So i can complain............. Current Dec snow here is a tick behind that ultimate torch called Dec 2015, and less than 60% of the average Dec thru the 27th. Even with the AN Novie we're down 3" for the season. Not terrible, of course, but not what I'd call "great" either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duration has been my biggest problem with this winter. Being on the coast I'm used to rain or mix but this winter has had ridiculous amounts of mixed precip for in some cases, what are days long storms. On the 10th we had about 11" of snow but it was after almost 72 hours of precip. That's pretty insane even for this area. If you get paid by the hour to deal with that than that's great but if not it's awful, at that point you start hoping for straight rain. The last storm was almost 24 hours and we finished with about 2.5". Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
