Will drag mentions that in his post. That Thursday into Friday might be kind of a warm rainer, and then a consolidated coastal storm on the weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're grooming it all and it's real cold but thin cover is hardening up as we've had no refreshment for a week+. Lotta broken springs from the hard chatter. Any new cover will make a world of diff for the trail riders. For me, these are the best days to go fielding. So much area- fields bigger than Hartford. Field edges and the river are butter soft. Field and stream- the best riding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 EPS/GEFS have been pretty consistent in flipping warm after the 24/25th so the heart of winter is on its last legs. We’re obviously not done up here even if the deeper east ridging pans out, but March snow has a different feel. Maybe it’s the lack of staying power after it falls. Maybe it’s the burnt nape while I’m clearing it. idk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 This past week would have been so much better in December with low sun angle . This is precisely as we’ve discussed. Once into early/ mid Feb and beyond it takes away the wintry feel. Even in the 20’s today the snow only stuck on the back roads .. and the coast and valleys start melting as soon as it ends . Why can’t we just get snow in December 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 People act weird when the seasons turn always expect instant winter summer spring fall. In actuality we are lucky if we get 6 weeks of actual deep seasonal weather total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 46 minutes ago, Ginx snewx said: How we weenie pray 6Z ensembles look so different. Off or on topic, I was in elementary school in the 70s, and at least on Long Island that was a boring period snow wise until the Arctic 76-77 and magic 77-78 winters. February 78 storm, I missed 5 days of Catholic school in Amityville. Wonderful. Our drainage sewers ran to the Great South Bay, and salt water backing up had the 2 feet of snow near the drains green tinged. Wonderful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Euro is weak and warm. Need the northern stream to dig. Nothing shows a favorable storm . Might be done for snow until March maybe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWolf Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Everybody has their own feelings and ideas, and that’s cool. For me, any good to major snow storm is a good snow storm. If it’s December, I love that too. If it’s a Mid March Monster storm, I love that just as much. I get the whole low light and dim idea of December, and I do like that too. I’ll take it and enjoy it at any time is my opinion. But being in mid Feb…that’s still very much winter vibe for me. And if March has cold, and some decent snow storms in the first half, I like that feel too. But I will say, if it’s an inch or two of slop in March, then I don’t need that. 3-6” or more in a March storm, or keep it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snow today didn't strick to pavement very well, even with the temperatures at 28F . The roughly 1" of snow from this morning is gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had two inches here, and it stuck to the roads fine until it slowed down and stopped. But ya…low sun angle is better for retention, and sticking with paltry rates. But beggars can’t be choosers. I need to have that coastal next Saturday to hammer NNE. If it does it’s game on for more March sledding. And that’s a win for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
