AstronomyEnjoyer Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I take outdoor photos pretty much everyday. According to image metadata, Jan 22 was the last time there was clear skies and the sun was out. Take a look at this beauty right here. Edit: I found another pic from this day. Can't see the sun, but there's still blue sky and evidence of sunlight, haha. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 hour ago, Typhoon Tip said: The thing is, once we get out post 300 and especially 360 hours, we approach what I call the "coherency horizon" - just means that beyond that, there's zip skill and the flow tends to start looking rather annular as the westerlies direction becomes the only aspect that remains (artifact of ensembles in every direction)/N input. However, in this case there's an emergence of that powerful +PNA ... ironically, in all ens means - which makes it unusually more coherent than we would normally see at that range. It's really interesing.. long ass slog before we can start picking specific events out the noise. But to have the more typically entropic range look so structured is really fantastic. Ha... it seems we keep upping the ante on what is wasted, huh. j /k Yeah the amplitude on these runs is pretty extreme for a D12-15 ensemble prog and it’s across all guidance too…not just one set of ensembles. I think the pattern shift is basically inevitable at this point but the bigger question is how long it lasts and if it trends more amplified or less. If you only get a 7-10 day period of favorability, then you can more easily whiff on storm chances versus if you get 3-4 weeks…just obvious probability/statistics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Did about 70 miles of snowmobiling today in bear notch in the Bartlett area. Lot of snow off the trails, probably a good 3-4 feet in some spots 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 This is pretty bad. We are basically in the peak of winter and there is almost no snow cover around here below 600 feet. even last year we had a couple of inches of snow cover on the ground the first week of February. No snow cover, no snow in sight and above normal temperatures. Yay At this point I would take temperatures in the 50s to save on heating costs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstronomyEnjoyer Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 18z GFS with the fantasy storm that's only 250 hours out. Better than 300+ I guess, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go on my own as we owned snowmobiles when I was a kid, but this was my wife’s first ever time driving one, so we used a guide. She had a blast and we covered pretty much the whole loop up there in the 3+ hours. we used northern extremes. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazey Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 This exotic pattern were in that was talked about last week is going to produce in the Maritimes. Hefty snow amounts coming out on the models. Long duration possibly Fri to Mon deal. My hood looking like 4-8 but Cape Breton looks to get crushed. Snow for days. Strong winds and snow totals in the 1-3ft range. Epic blizzard shaping up for them. Newfoundland should get in on this in a big way too. Still some uncertainty so see how it plays out. In centimetres. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that it's modeled at 250 hours it's likely when 00z runs it will disappear into the ether anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We road Rangeley to NH on Friday and Sunday. Its groomed all the way to within 1/2 mile of NH border. They are logging about 1/4 mile. not to bad and they may be done by now. Nh to Boundary pond was well worth it. East to jackman is all open as of tomorrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
