moneypitmike Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Arrived to about 4” of snow. Surprised to see the ice in the river given the mild temps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Quick question. Is there any snow on the ground in Metro Boston? From the NH network I can see that the ground is covered around the Mass/NH line but the Mass Cam network is down. I'm just curious if metro west/Rt 128 on the north side is totally bare? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s prob fairly close but I’ll bet “pit2” averages a bit more. But they can get skunked sometimes being right on the water in the wrong type of pattern…that’s why it’s close to begin with and once you go a few miles inland in Maine it increases rapidly….in a latitude gradient pattern they will do much better regardless.

I think for MPM it’s just as much about avoiding all summer heat while having decent winters. Coast of Maine obliges in that department. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I just posted in the other thread that I have a couple of inches about 2 mi from the NH line in N Mass, but its gone by the time you hit I 495. I surprised...I though the snow early Sunday AM had made it father south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right on the water but any wind direction north of due east has considerable travel over land before reaching P-2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that makes sense....and ORH is about that also and Westboro should be close. Hippy’s nod to more comfy summers gives coastal Maine an edge if that’s what people want. One also would have to endure long periods of dank in the spring and early summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good week below freezing with maybe a single digit night or two would firm the ponds up enough to fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I didn’t notice solid snow until I got to the NH line. It was patchy near the Andover/Wilmington line. Finally more coverage at the border, but maybe an inch or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average here is about 75" so a little more than Westborough. While I'll flirt with the rain/snow line, in some instances, that usually sets up further down the peninsula. Think of Rt 1 in Maine as the Rt 2 in Mass. Along and north of RT 1 will tend to be on the 'right' side of the boundary. I remember when I lived up here and Blue Spruce would be posting (wasn't he in Belfast?). Many events he'd be tainting while I'd be still snowing.

I mean our summers are not that hot, and furthermore they are definitely not that long. Why anyone would want to escape the week of heat we get to go put a shawl on is beyond me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
