wxeyeNH Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 We just had a heavy rain shower with either small hail or graupel. No thunder or wind. Would today's "ice pellets" be considered as hail? It's 48F but has been snowing today above 3750 in the Whites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kennebec watershed must've gotten the greater amount of rain, as it peaked at 133,000 cfs. IIRC, in 1987 the Androscoggin's peak was near 70% of that at the Kennebec, rather than less than half. People have commented on the debris from up river that is going over the falls, They've seen Tents, Tires, Ice Shacks and numerous trees, Some one i know had a vid of a tree that was 4' in circumference or so at the base that went over the falls and he said it sounded like thunder when it hit the bottom. At the Gage Farm (the big silo) along the Sandy in New Sharon, the last of the shoreline pines disappeared yesterday. Years ago, there were three big pines, about 2' diameter and 90-100' tall, on an outside bend - that's where rivers eat at the banks. On Sunday the final survivor was leaning at 45° and by 2 PM yesterday it was gone. Whether it snagged along the riverbank or is piled up against the dam in Skowhegan, I have no idea. Since the NNE cold season thread is probably dead, I'll put our April numbers here: Avg temp: 42.7 +2.3 Avg max: 53.7 +1.7 Highest, 78 on the 14th Avg min: 31.6 +2.9 Lowest, 17 on the 3rd and 9th Precip: 3.76" -0.35" Wettest day, 30th with 1.26". 1.20" of that was part of the 4/30-5/1 4.45" deluge. Snow: 1.5", all on 4/1 -3.3" Pack: 119 SDDs, 89% of avg but more than twice the median. Total SDDs (assuming none this month ) came to 2,059, which is 116% of avg. When the last 4" went to "T" on 4/12, that ended 116 consecutive days with 1"+. Avg is 117. Nov had 14 more 1"+ days and the 130-day total is 8 days AN. Again, a very strange winter - mildest DJFM of 25 years here and a 4-month departure of 4.8°, but snowfall a foot above avg. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Weekend still looks dandy ... In fact, the Euro's lowered typical cloud height RH levels even further. Both it and the GFS depicted unilateral flow from 925 to 300 mb levels on a NW trajectory, bumping over the terrain and down-sloped throughout all areas, with 925 mb between +10 and 12C. 2-meter's would likely make 20 to 23C under that provided the sun works out. As is in the Euro, borderline but would likely be 80% sun with the down slope drying. So in every day terms ... 72 to 74. Winds are very light, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
