CoastalWx Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 1 hour ago, powderfreak said: Yeah even down at sea level they average (!) 326" in Valdez. If you average that much heavy wet snow at sea level, what happens at 10,000ft must be nuts. Can't imagine living in a place where you can get 15" in 90 minutes lol. The winter storm has brought extreme snowfall — 15 inches fell in 90 minutes in Valdez — made travel hazardous south of the Alaska Range. Normal suburban home but there has to be 6 feet of mushroom caps on the roof. That was at a pass at 2800’ I guess. But still... https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/521048/alaska-got-15-inches-snow-90-minutes-last-week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say that spot averages 700” a year compared to the meek 330” at Valdez . 700” under 3,000ft of elevation is absolutely bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Valdez is one of those places where they get a drain of cold air from off the land to help secure all snow. I’ll have to look that up, but I think they get some sort of ageostrophic flow off the land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gas for the snowblower to keep up with that kind of snow must be astronomical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the precip was moving from SE to NW on major WAA into the coastal front? Looked like great H85-H7 frontogenesis along that thermal gradient as high PWAT air slammed ashore. I thought it was all warm conveyor belt. Up here today had more CCB characteristics I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 It’s amazing how loaded the trees are with leaves on Nov . 1. Running this morning and looking up all the Oaks still loaded. Scooters wife posted a Helloween pic yesterday on FB and in the background every tree was green. It looked like August . People thought we were crazy saying we’d be doing leaf cleanups into December. Can’t even sniff 32 this year . Was able to wear shorts everyday in Oct and now into Nov., even to the girls nighttime HS soccer games. Different climate for sure than what we were used to growing up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its unreal down here on the shoreline. Its like spring with plants flowering again. My neighbor said her tulips were coming up. A friend who owns a landscaping company said they are still mowing. My low for October has only been 46. Leaf cleanups will be around Thanksgiving here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Valley Snowman Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 It was behind with the change here but things are dropping fast as well and we've had 3 mornings in the 30s and a frost.

Same here in the Merrimack Valley area. I have never seen so many trees "loaded" with leaves this late in the fall.. Also there are many trees that still have mostly green leaves. Lawns are still growing at a good pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah even though everyone was a week plus late , you guys dropped leaves with some freezes. You don’t seem to have Oaks up there. Around here that’s 75% of what we have . Hence my hatred of them .Here’s view off on deck this morning. Typically this is all brown by now with 75% drop . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
