weatherwiz Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 13 minutes ago, powderfreak said: Instead of "Heavy at Times" it should just be "Heavy all of the Time." On an aside, I've always wondered why most of the western forecasts use "Snow Showers" instead of just "Snow".... maybe @OceanStWx can shed some light on how the grids are populated out there verses the Midwest and East. Because it does not matter the accumulation, most of the mountain forecasts out west all use "Snow Showers" as the description. Today: Snow Showers. Four feet worth of Snow Showers. May to them snow with visibility less than 1/8 of a mile is their typical snow showers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's doubtful there will be skiing tomorrow (even today I think most places are closed on 'wind hold') so that would be frustrating. But to see 5 inches per hour for 35 hours!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChangeofSeasonsWX Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Major ice storms are even rarer in SE Mass and RI than in CT it seems. CT is good for severe weather and ice storms. Not often does SE Mass get those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even up here I don’t think of as an ice spot. I almost think BTV is better as they can get some intense low level cold to funnel down the Champlain Valley. Here we get sleet or snow or rain. Obviously there’s transient icing events, and a 1998… but mostly here the depth of the cold is either as high as the ridges (several thousand feet thick) and we get sleet (mountain can get ZR while we IP). But having a set-up where it’s warm enough at the summits to not re-freeze drops before they get down here, and us holding prolonged surface cold… just not really a thing. The foothills and interior coastal plain of ME/NH and the Champlain Valley or anywhere else (St Lawrence Valley) with an easy feed of super low level cold is best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChangeofSeasonsWX Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Actually, south of the ORH Mass pike region I can only think of two major ice storms that have ever happened. November 1921 was the really big one, and then 1973 also had one I believe. Can't think of any others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
