One thing I HATE is driving with a jacket on. High of 28 in Westfield today, felt like 48! Yes, when I drive for any length..jacket is off. Of course had to have heat going for my first 3-4 hrs, then had to keep intermittently using the heat in the truck after about 10-11 am…driving 80 plus for 8-9 hrs with no temps above freezing the whole way, required the heat to be turned on and off to stay comfortable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NH and into Mass and CT, and I didn’t see anything at all melting anywhere. Still that glistening frozen top on the snow fully intact. Temps below freezing the whole way home. But that’s just what I observed on a 550 mile drive. The sun melted some ice on my driveway today with a high of 28, it's over once the sun goes down. Not crazy about all this ice, I'm gonna take a good fall if it doesn't melt soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 45 minutes ago, WinterWolf said: Doesn’t it take longer than 10 days to actually see any results though…? Usually a two week plus lag no? If we are seeing the effects from the Feb 10th split this week, that would be a pretty darn fast turn around time(like 5-6 days). Just remember reading that it takes a good amount of lag time. SSW takes like 3 weeks. But we never achieved an SSW. We achieved a split of the SPV which was actually “bottom-up” from the TPV splitting and not top-down. If it had been from an SSW then we likely would’ve seen another TPV episode of displacement or splitting. But we didn’t. Pattern honestly looks pretty good for additional threats regardless in early March so not sure we want any disruption anyway if you’re looking for more snow events. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 BOS has gone 50 days without hitting 50F. Longest stretch since 2015. Tomorrow will tie that. Longest stretch looks like 2003 when they went 60 days. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lag is when it downwells from the strat....which is what I expected to happen. Instead it began in the lower levels and worked up, so we felt it instantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowedin Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Yeah this’ll make my trip to visit family in NC a little sweeter not too long from now. That straight up cold and dryness really does get old after a while..plus the bottom of the driveway is a solid sheet of ice. Not good for doing much of anything outside these days. The sun did feel noticeably strong today on the old nape haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"At Tufts Medical Center, the emergency room since midnight Sunday has treated about three times the typical daily number of people for falls, said Dr. Matthew Mostofi, the hospital’s associate chief of emergency medicine. Since the beginning of the week, the hospital had treated 36 people for falls, including 12 fractures" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"That 1969 stretch ranged from December 13th through March 23rd...wild. Max temp that February was 40F. This year...might be 48 or so (we'll see next week)" Actually remember it. 9 years old. Back then we were outside everyday no matter what the weather. I remember being excited that we found a patch of bare ground in late March under a pine tree. It looked foreign. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 It has been a stretch of winter we haven’t seen in a bit. High of 18F here today, currently back down to 0F (it’s cold, squeaky snow) and 2+ feet on the ground here the valley bottom… 8 feet on the upper Toll Road. It’s been cold, snowy and windy for 6 weeks. The time frame is impressive. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big ice on the rock walls on the sides of the highways wasn’t dripping. The snow in the medians were rock solid with no melting into the highways. Sure Icicles on the south side of a roof will drip in direct sunlight, and what not…but there was no melting of the snowpack on the sides of the highways as there can be most times. Just what I observed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
