I'm surprised SPC doesn't have a general thunderstorm risk out I had thunder sleet in December, might as well get some thunder grauple in May! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you still ripping it on the slopes? Looks like a few bare patches, but definitely some decently covered terrain as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just your run of the mill light snow event in mid-May. Same here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these turbines actually near the summit of Kibby? I haven't been up around there yet, but from high spots in Rangeley/Carrabassett area you can see a prominent conical peak some distance to the NE that I thought might be Kibby, but I don't recall seeing turbines on it.

They must get destroyed with upslope too that goes unrecorded (also terrible radar coverage there). In spades! With co-ops in Allagash, Clayton Lake and Pittston Farm no longer reporting, I don't think there are any co-ops between Jackman and Fort Kent. (Not many full time residents either but weenies don't care, otherwise no pics from Kibby would show up here.) Also wish there were obs from Deboullie summit, or Rocky Mt 15 miles NW from Debo - 1,000+ feet lower than Kibby but 110-120 miles farther north. Less upslope but all those systems running down the St. Lawrence pile up around those hills. Was hoping for at least some measurable from this event. In 22 years only had the 0.3" on 5/13/2002 - while the Farmington co-op had 3.0" six miles to my west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kibby is almost due north from those vantage points. Might be seeing Coburn. And for pack retention without snowmaking (or municipal snow dumps) I'd nominate Chimney Pond. Set a new depth record for Maine there, 94" in Feb 2017, dethroning Farmington's 84" in Feb 1969. Elevation near 3,000' and the Katahdin massif immediately south, that place gets very little direct sunlight, probably just an an hour or 3 until within 6 weeks of the solstice.

Checking out the Gazetteer, it looks like Coburn would present the right aspect, and I see what you mean about Kibby being more N. I've actually got a pic from Saddleback but I don't want to get so far afield from the thread topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 NAEFS percentile analysis shows both 500mb height fields and 850 to 500mb thermal profiles near MIN values indicating that the ensemble is forecasting these values to fall outside the 1979-2009 climatology for this time of year and highlighting how cold the progged thermal profiles are expected.

In my little patch of NYC UHI heaven, I may, the way things are progressing with coastal climate, have to look at the feasibility of a roof snow making machine. That’s if my roof effect snow can reach the ground before melting on contact. As always ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I’m expecting at least 1” snow when I get up to run at 4:15 in the morning with snow still falling 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Best chance for light snowfall accumulations (generally 1 to 2 inches) will be in the high terrain, particularly on grassy surfaces in the Berkshires, Worcester Hills, western Hartford County as well as northern Tolland and Windham Counties. If a mesoscale band sets up, there could be a local maximum of 3 inches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
