Kbosch Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 We've gone through a 40 lb bag of bird food in about three weeks in the back yard feeder (plus we have separate feeders with nyjer and sunflower)! More birds keep showing up every week, and now we're getting a few that we didn't have last year. The snowpack is generally well over a foot before today's storm, and it's not going away soon. We see hawks circling above sometimes, but haven't seen any in the yard lately - at least not when we've been there. Is that a snow bunting in your avatar? Never seen one in person. I bet. Keep it up, good work. Yes it is - lucky bird it seems this year for snow and they are sticking around southern Stratford in good numbers. Go find any grass-y open area that has been blown free of snow or anywhere a plow has ripped up grass near it. I don't know MA as well but that would be your best hope for one. yeah...like I was saying a week ago when we dipped below zero...some of the shoreline towns can really radiate amazingly well when you get just a mile or two inland. I was completely caught off guard with how cold it got 1/17/09...forecast was for around zero. BTW...can we move talk of next week's storm to another thread? Either Tips or Ginx's? I'm in north Stratford but I did not do even close to that well. That's why 2004 stuck out in my mind and BDR backed it up, albeit to a slightly lesser degree than MBY. Yeah, we should move on here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJonesWX Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 5.5" storm total for me. 35.5" in the last 10 days. not bad. Interestingly, I have the exact same YTD snow today as I had this date last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HimoorWx Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Thanks for the tip. We have a hilly golf course nearby where we go cross country skiing - I'm sure there must be a few spots that have been blown clear. I bet. Keep it up, good work.

Oswego Wx Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Strange pseudo dry slot raced north after midnight, cut off the approaching snow for a few hours, well it kept snowing a filling in back across Fairfield Co. That was the difference between 3" and 5-7". Awesome, thanks. Looks great for today. I wonder why the W coastline did so much better than the E?

That was the difference between 3" and 5-7". Hmm, I thought as much and mentioned it earlier but am surprised to the degree that occurred. I was watching it until around 2 and said the pixie dust we were getting was helping us out surprisingly, but that's quite a bit. I suppose it kept going after I went to bed then whereas it did stay dry the entire time there. Interesting, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 4-8 away from the SE would have been a good call right from boston to orh to pvd. I'm still astounded by how fast it changed. In about 10 minutes the r/s line moved 20 miles to Exit 8/10...then absolutely stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 You must be having a pretty good season down there. I'm liking it. We were at the low end for the region during the post Christmas blizzard, but that was as much because of ratios as anything and that snow is still present as the bottom few inches of icy base in our snowpack. We've been doing a lot better since then. The 1/12 storm was one of the best we've had in the past 15 years; I even liked this one better than 12/09. I haven''t done a core, but between the snowfall and rain that has soaked in, there is a lot of water in the current snowpack...more normal for somewhere well inland and north of here. I may sample it tonight or tomorrow just to see. I've noticed that you have been cleaning up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Last band of snow poised to pass through SW Maine, but what a morning we had. I can't wait to see the totals along the coast. I took a stroll to the roof of the parking garage and was greeted by wind blasting my face with heavy snow. Didn't know it was that windy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
