dendrite Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 29 minutes ago, wxeyeNH said: 22.7/19 Moderate snow, blowing snow It is kind of interesting that the temperature still inches down and the dewpoint has dropped from 22 to 19F. Maybe that doesn't mean anything. Decision time. Do I snow blow the couple of inches I have now so it is easier in the morning if it gets sloppy or wait till then? I think I will wait. I kind of am envisioning a powdery snow with a top thin sleet and freezing rain glaze vs some heavy rain soaking into a 6-8" pack making snow blowing difficult. It means something. We have a bit of a barrier jet going and we’re advecting some of that low level cold in Maine our way. I’m at my low for the day now…25.9° and a steady drop. So we’ll torch aloft over the next few hours, but we’ll hold sleet and eventually ZR for awhile. I’m waiting to clear the mess. I’m hoping we just crust the surface and hold the snow consistency at the bottom through the duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 As the rain/snow line creeps ever close to my backyard, I can hang my hat on the Airport Weather Warning I issued for MHT. At 2342z, I issued one saying that snow will mix with or change to sleet/freezing rain as early as 02z. The 201z SPECI reported PL. Honestly remarkably well modeled and well behaved mixing line. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got maybe half an inch of snow. My official observation will be 0.9" before the flip 44 minutes ago, HIPPYVALLEY said: 32.2F -ra/pl Total of 1.5” today. Couldn’t even hit the low end of the forecast snow totals. The absolute worst part is I have an inch of snow on my driveway, that might not completely wash away. I guess either go out and clear it now or risk letting it freeze tomorrow night… Same boat here. Gonna clear it now rather than let it refreeze. Not convinced the rain will take care of it for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might freeze up momentarily but it'll be better in the end. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk Ya’ just came in from doing the cursory clear. I had to use the shovel because it was already too wet to fire up the blower. At least I got to add a little more sculpting to the snow piles.

mahk_webstah Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 We are almost to 3 inches so decided to run the tractor snowblower down the driveway. We have a long driveway on an incline. And we don’t want big chunks of slush tomorrow. The snow is heavy and clumpy so I think the changeover is near so we’re trying to get the 3 inches off the driveway and see what happens next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NW_of_GYX Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 23, mod to hvy snow, 2.5". Gonna really need to pound next 3-4 hrs to hit low end of forecast. 0z NAM products bring the midlayer warmth in faster than 18z. Curious what I find in the morning, but it's deep deep winter out there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 32.5° -RA. About 1.25”-1.5” total snow today I think. Came in bursts so wasn’t most accurate measurements. .5” this afternoon and close to 1” tonight before rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
