backedgeapproaching Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Good trends for us north of the SNE border. Hopefully we can get a nice deform band to rotate through and rot. Maybe the SE ticks will happen overnight, who knows, hopefully not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost power for about 5 hours this morning, guess the wind took a tree down? Not sure. We lost power for an hour or so. I’m only a quarter mile away from a substation so this was actually one of the longer outages we’ve had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our power gets back relatively quickly as well, I don't think I've had power lost for more than 8 hours. Are you Washington electric? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jculligan Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Didn't quite hit the negatives here, but 2F was cold enough for me. As the clouds arrive in advance of tonight/tomorrow's event, I'm thinking today will likely be the first day that fails to reach 20F here. It's hard to project exactly how this event is going to break in my area. The Canadian/NAM continued the pronounced northward trend, and both deliver a solid 6"+ event here. The GFS/Euro halted the northward progression, and are much leaner overall with about 2" give or take. The RGEM shifted south a hair, but still has a solid event. In my operational forecasting days, it would be hard to dispute a GFS/Euro consensus. The EC Ensembles do yield a higher mean total here than the operational run, while the GEFS is pretty consistent with the op. It I were to go public with a forecast for my hood, I'd probably start with 2-4" using the Euro/GFS blend as my minimum value while allowing for somewhat higher totals to allow for a last minute tick north based on the EC ensembles. It's pretty obvious that the real fun will be south of here. Models (particularly the Canadian/RGEM) have been suggesting some mid-level fronto banding, and if that comes to fruition someone in the AQW-EEN-CON-SFM corridor could really cash in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Zero or -1 (haven't checked the max-min) and latest GFS says maybe 2" tomorrow - broom snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 5F was my low. Only 25F above the coldest I have ever recorded. Has there ever been a study to show how many degrees colder a deep snowcover makes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 The whole ski hill is shrouded in snowmaking fog, and we've actually gotten some drifting all the way to my house lol! Free snowmaking for my yard, Yey! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 6.1F was the low. Just what we need to freeze the ground up, but the lakes and ponds if skimmed over will probably be broken up with the wind from the storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I hadn’t even been paying attention to this next storm (Winter Storm Gail) because the general discussion I’d seen earlier suggested it was pretty much a Mid-Atlantic thing, but then Phin popped into the thread and said not to sleep on it up here. That was a timely wake up call, because it does actually look like we could even get a bit of snow this far north. I’ve got the latest BTV NWS maps for the storm below. There are Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories farther south in VT, and the projected accumulations map seems generally in line with the roughly 2-4” in the point forecast for our location.

wxeyeNH Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 This storm is frustrating. Right on the edge of the good qpf. Areas just south do great. Just a bump of 25 miles would help but the models seem pretty much cemented in now for the northern edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then noticed the clouds of snizzle coming at times from the mountain PF could answer this question, Given the same conditions other than wind is snow blowing more effective in calm conditions or with wind? I have always thought calm conditions would be more helpful so I am surprised you have have any snow dust at all. How far is the closest slope to you? 1/2 mile??

Less to West Mountain, but they're not blowing snow there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
