Cars off the road across the valley. Stay off crowned roads! I'm probably the sole winter outpost here today hence the report. We need more PQI postings. Keep them coming. We love to hear what man-cold is really like. Seriously. 64* here at the Pit. I confess that in spite of all the hatred of the winter intermission, this doesn't suck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly a weather event like what we are going through is more satisfying than a 10" snowfall. Maybe I would feel different if I still lived in the Boston area. I just took a drive down the hill. Although I lost most my snow I would say there is still 90% coverage in the Newfound/Plymouth area. Even looking at the PSU webcam I can see downtown Plymouth NH is still white.

If they end up with 73 then it has a bigger asterisk than normal since the old record was 72F. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have since yesterday could have been using most of that energy to warm up the interior of the snow pack. Once that pack gets sufficiently warmed, it releases pretty fast. But it can start slow if the interior pack is pretty cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom12309 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Ice but not enough to bend the trees halfway down the hill to Keene Valley on 74 all through the valley until going back up to Chapel Pond. 47 degrees in Lake Placid when we left, 30 degrees in Keene and 45 again cresting the hill at the other side. The Ausable was about 6 inches lower than the road, state police hanging out at each end, in case it rose any more I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogmios Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 The main precipitation band is moving on and precipitation seems to have changed over to a very tail end light snow with temperatures still at 30 degrees. Lots of ice on the ground that looks like a few centremetres of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little complicated top understand the hourly METAR obs and how the off-hour 5-min obs work. Logan will never report 73.4F. The 5 minute obs is sent out as 23C to the public. When the vendors convert it to F it gets posted as 73.4F. However, the real temp at Logan at that time is either 73F or 74F because the 5-min obs distributed to the public are in whole degree C instead of tenths. If they released them in tenths C like the hourly METARs, it'd be released as 22.8C or 23.4C which converts to 73F or 74F. In other words, there's a good chance BOS had a 74F in there. A 5-min of of 74F at BOS will be seen by us as 73.4F. But a 73F ob will be 73.4F as well. It's a little confusing. But when you see quite a few 23C/73.4F obs in a row there's a good chance one of them made it to the higher end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you see quite a few 23C/73.4F obs in a row there's a good chance one of them made it to the higher end. Illustrative description... The red enclosed obs are METARs...Logan released their hourly ones at :54 past the hour. The blue enclosed obs are 5 minute obs. The METAR (red) obs are released in tenths C so they convert to the exact whole F reading. The 5-min obs (blue) are released in whole integers C so they convert to a decimal F from the vendor sites. So those 73F METAR readings would also be 73.4F in they were a 5-min ob. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
