Agreed, not on the coast but much rather have snow around the holidays than January feb. now it’d almost be depressing to have a glacier out there. At least the kids can still run around. I’m certainly in the minority and having accepted this winter as “crappy” may be coloring my perspective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get blocked flow like you hear about powderfreak talk about sometimes up in the greens. Only the mountain elevations are higher in japan so the flow becomes blocked easier. When that happens, it creates extra low level convergence to the west of them. I figured it has something to do with terrain, but scooter saying they got slammed at sea level threw me off...convergence explains that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.....hardly any snow from 12/17 to Jan 20+ would still piss people right the F off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totals are what they are though so 15” for the season on Jan11th is still ahead of schedule I believe. I was thinking today.....if the grinch didn't vaporize the snowpack leading into this stretch, then it wouldn't have been as bad....its been seasonably cold ever since.

You know I’m not saying it wouldn’t aggravate people I’m just saying it’s made interminably worse by setting peoples expectations I don’t think that’s really common sense deniable it may yet snow before the 20 th tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always watched it since it became a powder mecca for skiing... top end bucket list spot. But I remember one weather enthusiast that wanted to actually record the snowfall, but after it snowed fluff straight down for 9 days straight on westerly flow of Siberian cold. Said he couldn't keep track of it, it all started blending together and overwhelmed his snowfall plot. I mean, Siberian cold air mass on the move and then riding across the Sea of Japan... running into landmass friction and then steep terrain. Those Hokkaido ski areas and towns get absolutely smoked.

But I did enjoy the biggest December event since 2010. For sure. Most in sne will take a foot anytime. We had a blast playing in it for a few days so there were good memories regardless of the amount of rolled up rugs and items I angerly tossed shortly thereafter.

Def. My brother and I talk about it all the time. Either we take our families there with us or him and I go old school...like we used to on our ski trips to CO, UT, VT, etc and go hard. That would have to wait at least 7-8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, seasonably cold!? Or just near freezing enough to keep frozen? ORH’s last below normal day was on December 19th. BDL on the 20th and BOS on the 21st. We are going on several weeks without a daily departure below normal. That’s incredibly warm. ORH... +6.4 BDL... +6.3 BOS... +4.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even down this way the daily highs really haven't been that warm but the overnight lows which would normally be in the low 20's even some teens just north of me are sitting in the low 30's, with that stretch of clouds at the beginning we had a 5 degree swing with lows in the mid 30's that roasts averages.

It’s been warmer on average in those SNE sites for the first week and a half than the start to 2016. This winter is a sneaky torch... it’s been very mild on the daily.

Yeah definitely the overnight lows, but it's still an average high of 36F at 1,000ft in ORH. Normal is 31F. That's +5 on highs at 1,000ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so_whats_happening Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I know its a hop, skip, jump down to my area but working at KBWI we had 57 on the second, that was a really warm day felt like a taste of spring. Yesterday hit a high that just scraped 50 but most have been low to mid 40's about 2-3 degrees above average. The nighttime lows though... last 2 days have been the closest to average but most have been mid 30's even some upper 30's that is almost 10-12 degrees (if not more on some days) above average.

Pick them up at 530pm in the dark, cold again. Saturday we played outside all bundle up and they were done in 30min. Sunday, went to park at 11am and the ground was frozen with a little snow in the shade. I still have a snow piles on my driveway too so it hasn’t felt sneaky torchy at all tbh. Maybe I’m getting old and 38F feels like 28F lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bch2014 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 We're running +3.6 here at Central Park month to date. Hasn't felt particularly warm.. But hasn't felt particularly cold. Still running ahead of schedule on snow thanks to the December storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s the lack of one complete torch where you have windows open in January... but on the whole, this time period and first half of winter is going into the scrolls as a warm one. I get what you are saying though... there have been no t-shirt days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
