Last night's powder will be gone long before Christmas Eve. Having all this snow around leading up to the holiday has been great though, and more than we could have hoped for a week ago at this time. I do agree with the earlier post pointing out that having a legit post-Xmas threat to track would take some of the sting out of the Grinch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s already settled to 9:1 here. We have a solid 2” of liquid in our 17”...not sure what you guys had for w.e. out there. Sometimes you guys flood with warmth a little easier over there to my east without the ageostrophic flow keeping the cold advection pumping in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a 12-15 hour period of torrential rain, damaging wind and dews. A place like Hunch will keep snowpack , but I think most others will lose most of it. Looks like a change to snow at the tail end. That's often the forecast for torch-deluge to CF events, and we rarely get the snow. Our 6" pack has about 2" LE so I expect a skating rink after the Grinch - glad I have a pair of 5-gal buckets filled with wood ash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Just hoping to minimize the damage here. I have 10-12 in most spots. Hoping it collapses to 4" of hard-pack icy glacier. Just don't want a total wipeout... If the temps can stay in the upper 30s and I don't get 4 inches of rain, it should be OK... I hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe how quickly it compressed in half. It’s like seeing one of those LES storms around BUF where Oswego gets like 6ft and then you check depths a week later and the max out there is like a foot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing that happens with those powdery, windy storms is that you end up with spots where the grass isn't even covered - so you start to get bare patches pretty quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
