Expand Currently +4.5F here, will likely be +5 by month's end, with one or two +10 (or milder) days on 30-31. Only the 3rd December of 25 that failed to go below zero, unless we get some super radiational nights tonight or tomorrow night. Minima have been consistently above the forecast, as nighttime clouds do their thing. I think Aroostook will be even more AN than here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen some JSpin 40 or 50-1, but they are one offs with zero wind and much smaller events if I recall. Why even put those liquid totals in there then?

I heard portions of Fitzgerald Lake in Noho is also good. Expand Many years ago (1955-56) in NNJ we had a calm and slightly below zero night about Dec 20 that put 2" on the 95% of our lake that had been open water. A high schooler was skating all over and saw that I'd walked out on the 5% of older, thicker ice to test the new stuff's thickness. He skated over to scold me for ruining that beautiful ice (one small hole on a 50-acre lake). A small snowfall a few days later was wiped out by some 40s, then it was dry and cold for 6 weeks. It's the only time I've seen black ice a foot thick or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand There’s no way you’re getting accurate measurements with that amount of wind. More errors than the Pittsburgh Pirates. And I’m going to assume they’re trying to catch the snow in the cocorahs gauge and not having much success doing it. Even the daily new snowfall will be difficult because you need to clear an area without it filling back in with blowing and drifting snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 12/27/2022 at 10:56 PM, TauntonBlizzard2013 said: I probably wouldn’t go anywhere near most ice right now. Expand Yeah in your area, for sure. I always go out with a spud bar, ice picks, and wear a life jacket early season while I check thickness before setting up. Only way to be safe. Can't just go slap on your skates and beeline it for the other shore like some jabronies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
