IrishRob17 Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 I was just checking out the Winter Storm Warning in northern NH, it goes into effect at midnight. I can’t recall the last time we had a warning start at midnight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Really lousy wx tonight, doesn't get much worse. I was looking through old pics from this week in previous years and there was almost always at least some ice on the river. On 1/1/18 I was able to walk to Goose Island up in Red Hook, a couple hundred yards from the shore. Even the small lakes are mostly or completely open this year, which you wouldn't expect from the rather modest warm anomalies compared to some recent Decembers. At least it should look wintry again by Monday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 That's been my thing too, nothing is frozen. Some days there's a thin coat of ice on the ponds but nothing that matters. The ground started to freeze, enough that the windstorm last week was a non issue but it's thawed now. It isn't really winter yet (again?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudsonvalley21 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 30/30 and cloudy currently. Forecast is for 2-4, hoping to see 1-3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 2.2" currently with some flurries. Too bad precip isn't more uniform with this system. Snow growth has been really good at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 1.6 inches. 2.5 was my minimum criteria to be satisfied with this disturbance. Expectations were low so disappointment level is low. Still numb from the Christmas Eve nightmare, so nothing can really hurt me now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 It was about 2" then compacted a bit but I got some more after that and the temp went down. I'll measure again in a while but it looks to be a solid 2". I figured 2-3 so pretty much right on, that'll do. I think my neighbors down the street must read here because they moved the thermo for their station and it's right in line with the others in the area now and what I've always expected from this hill.

Juliancolton Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Down to about 1/2 coverage at 36F. It would be nice to keep snow around longer than 12 hours in freaking January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree though, my driveway is a mess, more like a late season snowfall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I woke up a few times overnight to look at my "snow light" and... nuthin' Ehh, at least it looks like it's going to be pretty nice for the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I move I'm gonna be extra careful not to buy another place on a south-facing hillside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 It's so not wintry feeling this year. Even the big storm and good coverage for a while last month didn't really do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morning Julien and Irish also. I’ll never have to worry about S/N facing when it comes to the postage stamp. It’s like having an adult version of the Easy Bake Oven.

Funny because one of my prime missions is going to be a southerly aspect, easier on heating and snow removal but with tall deciduous growth so it's shaded in the summer. I don't need snow right outside my door but I need to be part of the storms and to see it and play in it when it's over. I had a condo in Steamboat the first year I lived there and the deck faced SSE so we could sit out there and have coffee in the morning in January when it was 12* and be comfortable in t-shirts. I want that situation to be part of my retirement gig It'll also be better for gardening and creating my own food. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it came across that I was mostly being facetious... I love my snow, and favorable climo will definitely play a role when choosing my next spot, but I'm not totally psychotic. Would really love to do some scouting this year if the border opens up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I have my heart set on something above 1500’ in the mrv but was just talking/joking with a friend about British Columbia. They get a lot of snow. Consistently. That would be something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
