Really need the northern stream to dig more like 2 or 3 days ago if we want more than an inch or two. Still possible....but it’s also still possible that it gets even weaker and turns into flurries.

I didn't think I was getting this far when I started this in November... It’s truly amazing to me. The green grass. I’ve never seen a winter where the grass stays green. It’s been frozen ground for weeks .. we had about 24 days of snowcover here in Dec.. and it’s still stayed green. No one has been able to offer any reason why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That plastic there is garlic I planted in November, it is actually sprouted almost an inch so far since I planted....I will cover it with leaves if it looked to get that cold and we do not get any snow to blanket it....all my seeds are started inside and will be taken out when appropriate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has been able to offer any reason why this year, the only time it has gotten really cold was when we had snow on the ground, it acts like a blanket and actually protects the grass. Even today, it was cold with the wind, but we have been above freezing for over 48 hours now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 I still fell like we will get a moderate event before month's end, but am not confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 This incoming pattern seems to me as though the N stream just can not dig quite enough due to the RNA out west. The result is that everything phases and congeals to our NE. Best bet is probably either hoping for a brief PNA nod timed well with the passage of N steam wave, or waiting until the pattern begins to break down nearer the end of the month. The latter seems more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the ceiling is very high, but the floor is far more likely. At the moment, I lean towards a whiff, or light to moderate event......but yes. The threat is very viable, but we need a break...and in this N stream dominant pattern, you may not know that the break is coming until you see the whites of its eyes....like 72-84 hours out.

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 I think the threat near the end of the month has the best shot to dig because heights in the west begin to elevate a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
