January 23rd Storm Threat: keeping positive vibes, ending chances of futility

[tavwtby]

I'm shocked it's still snowing pretty decent, small flake size but a solid 1/4" on all surfaces now, thought we'd be rain by now

You're not sweating the rain/snow line in Agawam anymore. I'd feel good in your area too.

went from Agawam to Belchertown  then Templeton moving up

Any Euro snow map 18z?

I used to think Belchertown was a good spot but after years of working in that area it disappoints in Winter. Templeton is a good spot.

Snowing very nicely here still. Everything is coated up 31°

[HIPPYVALLEY]

32/28.   pouring moderate, lousy growth grease snow. Won’t accumulate much but roads are already super slick. 
Could be a high impact yet low accumulation storm here but I can foresee power issues in the hills for sure.

Snowing pretty good. New dusting.

31.5

So what’s the verdict on the rain snow line versus modeling-I wouldn’t mind hearing from some Mets, too?

34 and raining. Why can't we just get snow like the rest of New England?

Dog mountain in St johnsbury today.

He actually had a post the other day and said we don't need any more rain. Almost fell off my chair.

Looks like from CC rain/snow line is over 495.

[DomNH]

Went from light fatties to mod pretty quickly. Roads covered. 

[TalcottWx]

34/32 rain

[40/70 Benchmark]

Anyone inside of 495 have obs?

On the upside, the rain's not due to your proximity to the harbor.

Back in I think 2003-04 winter which was pretty good here, maybe a two Foot pack in March, we had a March storm with a few inches that changed to sleet rain but north of Worcester was all snow. I had an appt in Templeton, they had a 5-foot pack after the last storm. Deepest snow I've ever seen. Snow was so deep I couldn't walk around the house I was inspecting. The roads were like tunnels, couldn't see at intersections. Great year in Northern Worcester County.

Freezing drizzle. If this stays frozen, setting up for a serious cluster with the way the trees are caked with snow from 3 days ago.

There’s a large swath from PSM-DAW, southwest down to just north of ORH that have trees full of wet snow; and those same areas looking at ice/very wet snow. Yikes.

Nice spot! We’ve been there a few times, never in winter though.

Snowing moderate now...adding up quickly. Tight gradient.

I had just about zero melting....large pine branch down in yard. Everything still caked.

33/32 now. R/s line actually appears to be collapsing a bit.

I’m familiar with the area but I’m pretty sure if an elevation of 600 - 800 feet in Massachusetts is going to do well with snow, an elevation of 600-800 feet in Vermont is going to do well with snow.  

edit:  I guess my original point was I thought you made it sound like he wasn’t going to do well where he is but that area, even at a lower elevation is going to do just fine.  I mean sure, they won’t jackpot.  I was thinking about more from the perspective of who gets taint and Townsend won’t. 

So I’m at 1250’. A mile and a half down the road in S.Barre where Hannaford is and where the access road to I-89 is, it’s 750’-800’. There is a noticeable difference, especially with marginal events.  It’s the lowlands for this area.
