It smashed plate glass windows, uprooted 2-ft diameter oaks from semi-frozen ground (temps that day were 5/-8 at our NNJ place), and created 5-ft deep drifts from the 2" of paste that fell late on 12/29. We could see the gusts coming by the clouds of snow obscuring the upwind trees. Reached -8 this morning and might approach that again tomorrow. This is the 3rd straight day with essentially no wind. I can't remember having the trees remain this snow-loaded this long. Some high clouds drifting in but most of the morning was pure blue seen between the snowy branches. Spectacular.

Back to back Rainers to Mainers on the 20th and 23rd Expand The bigger question is….do you feel OP runs at 13 and 16 days out are a good representation of where we might be by then? And before you ask if I would say that if it was showing snow, my answer is “I certainly would.” I mean the ensembles are so volatile at 6-7 days out, one can’t put any faith in those currently. So the fact that we have little continuity with those, means the Op runs are even more worthless than normal, and especially so at more than two weeks out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 When you sit back and think about it, the amount of days and weeks and months we waste of possible snow waiting for that elusive pattern change to kick in really is amazing. All the tracking, all the 10 days that keep getting pushed back.. just happens so often.. and before you know it Tip is posting about warm car seats and sun angle on Feb 10.. and then Morch hits 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
