STILL N OF PIKE Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Gyx had a graphic that showed Washington having 10” depth and Concord, Nh 17”. I imagine that is unusual thou I figure the Washington measurement is subject to the wind blowing the snow away? Between this cutter and models showing something similar Potential NYE it’s really a groin kick (I hope NYE can trend flat) 0z euro took a triple point under SNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid 20s most of the night here and winds mostly calm as South winds are really the only winds that don't do anything at my location. Once they turn SE then its all over..ha I was at 35F and jumped to 41F in like 30 seconds with just a minimal gust and then goes calm and drops back down. I see DDH and BTV and blowing pretty good out of the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 17" only dropped to 13" despite an inch of low 40s RA. However, that 17" was compacted to 6:1 and very cold - the month was running 9.8° BN (23/3) thru the 22nd.

backedgeapproaching Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Couple years ago I had like 3.5" of rain with only like a 12" pack and didn't wipe it out. I feel like it only went down to like 6"? I cant remember the details, but it was obviously a colder cutter. Edit: Jan 2019.

This thing has the temps, rainfall, wind, dews, and duration to be a legendary pack annihilator. It’s already drip, drip, drip here and there is still some sun poking through...

First few times I've run out of my house in panic at the sight of a plane coming straight for us just a few hundred feet high. I guess the White Mountains are a good training ground because there are plenty of places to abandon the plane if needed. Eek. It's kinda cool now that I know, but scary at the same time. It is also probably because it upsets the fewest people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 Up to 35F here we go... Few musings I have watched Alex's cam for the past few years. From this period through the next 60 days I have only seen partial bare ground a few times. So even if this storm wipes the pack out, snowshowers will return Saturday to recoat. Not a great pattern but some more snow Monday. We will not mention another potential cutter later next week. My pond has not been full since last June. It will be interesting to see if a foot pack can melt plus 2.5" of rain will fill it up. Some extreme runoff tomorrow morning down my hill. Ground should be frozen so it all has to run into my culvert into my pond. Will be fun to watch Alex, I erased your PWS out of my favorites. I have your cam but do you have the link? Phin do you have a PWS that uploads to the web? Merry Christmas to all NNE Peeps! Gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long ago (1978) we had a sizable fire of incendiary origin NW from Allagash village. I was on patrol to prevent/report (I had neither training nor authority for law enforcement) any more suspicious fires when I saw some fighter jockey from downcountry come blazing down the Little Black River valley at nearly the same altitude as the 2 Hueys doing water drops. I heard later that the Maine Forest Service radios nearly melted from the commentary. I've only lost a 12" pack in January once, in January 1995. The snow had already compacted to 8" when we had 3 days that averaged 25° AN, with 0.4" RA to help. Only needed the 1st 2 to finish the melt, as day 2 was 51/45, by far (8°) the mildest Jan minimum I've experienced in Maine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pretty bad flooding locally The crazy thing is how little river ice there is, even in NNE. It's been warm. There's some ice but nothing like most years even for Christmas. Rivers in the mountains by this time can have some pretty thick ice with just a narrow channel of moving water visible. No real threat of ice jams with this one it seems.

Warm area will continue to spread into our region through the night. However, KGFL and and some areas around Lake George and the northern Saratoga Region are in the upper 30s to around 40 with nearly calm winds due to wind blocked by terrain and inversions due to snow pack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 A bit windy a top of Mt Washington. From their site Winds will continue to ramp up overnight, and into Friday. Winds will remain sustained above the century mark through tonight until Friday morning. Gusts at this time look to be tapping into the 160s and 170s and some models are indicating that as a low-level jet passes, a few gusts could surpass 180 mph. However, most models have this jet passing to our south, so it is likely that gusts around the 170 mark seem more plausible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, that's the date. Didn't realize it was that warm. Must have been shorter lived than this torch. I do recall it was firehose SW flow upsloping into the Taconics and Greens in SVT. 3-5" here while Albany downsloped hard and had like .30" or something absurd.
