All Activity

5 here as well; looks like the sub-zero readings are in NePA headed this way. The colds coming in from the northwest, as opposed to due north.

16/-11 - this might be the lowest dewpoint I've recorded at my station

There is anther big dog coming in the next 10 days. Plenty of cold and active pattern.

Huh? I'm not sure what you mean. I have had 15 to20 for 8 days

So I know the Euro has been struggling/struggles with sleet/zr. I notice on the latest run, its showing 0.8" zr. Which is obviously not the case. I guess my question is, what is that likely going to be, sleet? and how much would 0.8" zr translate to sleet?

Just touched 18f here

I'll do better monday if it's a more NE fetch of moisture getting thrown back vs a straight E -> W. The angle of that dangle matters here because Greenfield can occasionally get bonus snows on tilted moisture getting thrown back over the Monads and hills to my NE.

I think IWX upgrades watch to a warning then puts rest of its counties under an advisory for 3-6”. Although Berrien and Cass get that amount later with lake effect

When almost perfect scenario happens, something always screws the pooch to break records of Snowmeggdon or SnowZilla. This event will not be those unfortunately it looks like it so far. No banter, here at least we get decent snow finally!!

Best run we’ve had from a varsity model in 48 hours and everyone’s asleep lol. Here’s to hoping the euro is correct

HeRPS never gives up that primary, but stays plenty cold from the Raritan on north; combined with the Euro holding just now and I’m feeling confident in the MMU area.

Still up just perusing but looks like a good 10”+ for the area. Glad to have a warning this close - tired of WAA’s this is a win in my book no matter how it plays out - how many times have we gotten a WWA and 100 miles each way get hammered. Glad to be splitting the difference. Just enjoy it, take it in and live the moment.

Man almost every model has close to atleast 8” down here besides the nam. I’d take that and run. Let’s hope we keep beefing up that thump throughout tomorrow .

I wouldn’t describe our recent weather pattern as much of a classic Northern Greens bread and butter setup with Alberta Clipper systems driving right though the area every other day or so; it’s been much more a hodgepodge of systems passing fairly far to the north, cold fronts, lake-effect snows, squalls, and stuff like that. Those types of events are certainly a big part of our usual winter snowfall, but it just hasn’t seemed like the locked-in consistency has been there recently the way it was often around in November and December. In any case, the past couple of days have certainly delivered as PF’s images show, and Bolton Valley’s snow report speaks to that, with 10 inches reported in the past 48 hours. I hadn’t planned to ski today with no notable systems in the area, but my older son was up at the mountain yesterday and was quite impressed with the amount of new snow he encountered. He’d brought some fairly narrow alpine skis, expecting generally packed/groomed snow, but he was up there when some of the recent squalls started hitting, and the inches built up rather quickly. When he was telling me about it later in the day, he said that he should have brought fatter skis because he was getting into boot top powder quite often. His report was enough to get me out for a ski tour this morning, and the timing was also good with respect to temperatures –the mountain was in the teens F today, which is much better than it looks like it’s going to be over the next couple of days. I was last out on the hill on Monday, and at that point I was already impressed with how much the powder conditions below 2,500’ had improved relative to the prior few days. These past couple days of lake-effect snow, fronts, and squalls have definitely continued that improvement to the point where I didn’t even notice any difference in the quality of the powder skiing above and below 2,500’ today. I toured in the 2,000’-2,800 elevation range today, and while the powder does get deeper with elevation, the subsurface has improved so much with settling/drying, and the depths/total liquid equivalent at even 2,000’ have increased enough that the quality of the skiing doesn’t drop off as you descend. Here are the approximate powder depths that I measured during today’s tour 2,000’: 6-8” 2,500’: 8-10” 2,750’: 10-12” There were even more rounds of squalls today with decent accumulations, as well as a potentially larger storm on the way toward the end of the weekend, so the quality of the conditions should continue to get even better going forward.

Those winds coming in from Montana at the low level is something to see. You can also see the Baja Low. .

Ice & snow have nothing on me! I’m ready!

After seeing that Euro...

NYC 9.3" Boston: 18.1" (E MA probably jackpots) Philadelphia: 7.2" DC: 6.7" Hartford: 14.6" Albany: 15.1" My backyard: 10" (8.5" snow, 1.5" sleet)

Possible if something stops flying.. But we must ultimately go-care trip.

If we stay snow till 7pm I can not see LI not getting 10-12inches .

Currently 23.4 degrees. Dew point is 8.

EURO and CMC don’t do it. See if it’s an off run. Plenty of time

Euro 0z ticked north for anyone south

Unless you can’t leave on 2/1…hmmm.
