Yeah Mount Manchester will have orographically enhanced continuous deathbands with a temp of 32.5, while the surrounding areas will be 34.7 with snow tv and light mulch coverings when it comes down harder.

That's actually how it works too. That's how it is where I live now. I live at one of the highest points on the southern part of the ridge. That ice storm a couple weeks ago was crazy. Trees and branches down at our place at 938' and down the hill a mile it is much less and always 2-3 degrees warmer. It's weird compared to what I'm use to at swamp lol

I think you will see these number increase for the ridges but not increase in terms of coverage area. This looks like elevation snow. Elliot knob should do well here.

Maybe on Parrs Ridge too I'm hoping.

First day of Met Spring, but yes it can still snow. I am kinda over it, but I wont complain if we get something like March 2018. Otherwise January was 'the month' of winter, as it should be, and it delivered at least for eastern areas. I will reserve an overall grade for another couple weeks, but December gets a D and January a solid A. Each winter month has to be weighted, and December is more of a Fall month in these parts and usually does not produce significant snowfall. February is easily an F, with less than an inch of frozen here, after nearly 20" in January.

I give my first winter in Carroll County an F lol. Pretty lame with maybe 10" for the season. Yes winter isn't over N&W but who cares about snow that melts the same day. Give me cold and wintery or bring on spring.

I think I'm at 16.5"

Sounds like the northern end of the county did better. Pretty boring AA county type winter I'm use too on the southern part.

It’s a sure sign of some soft closings when you’re at 50% of average climo and all the snow days are gone. 

Carroll County is talking about how they have no snow days left. We've had like 8" in a place that averages 30-35" lol. 

Pretty significant ice storm here last night and this morning. Temp stuck at 30.2 all night along with periods of heavy freezing rain. 

Heavy freezing wind driven rain and 29.3 degrees. Ice is building up really fast. This is one of those events I'm glad I'm up here in high Carroll County. This is fun. I'm watching icicles growing before my eyes.

Probably stay 29-30 overnight.  I expect to see  decent icing tomorrow early for work .

Same thinking here. I'm at 30.2 and icy. We get pretty cold at my elevated location so I'm thinking 28-29 here. 

Railings/branches ect are definitely accumulating ice now that the sun is going down. The drizzle has picked up in intensity as well. Temp down to 31.2.

Light rain

Trees starting to glaze. I was not expecting any glaze this afternoon.

Same here. White plastic railings are a sheet of ice and the pine trees are starting to get that look. Temp here is 31.

thanks. i hate it. 

Boo lol. I love anything besides 33 and rain. Ice forming on the bamboo trees next door. Temp was stuck at 32.7 all morning but has crashed to 31.5 in the past 10 minutes. I also finally got myself a real deal weather station. Love it

Decent sleet and a temp stuck at 32.3

36 here. Looks like some chilly light rain today and maybe a more substantial chilly rain tonight. Temps should be pretty steady here until rising later tonight.

Pretty cold up here. Just dropped to 30. Probably an extended period of wintery precip here later today. 

Down to 38.6. Down at my property in AA County is 49 still. Probably easy to see where frozen is going to happen. I like my location up here for this one.

i have a feeling we better start getting used to winters that last one month to maybe six weeks.

I've been use to that for years in AA County. I moved to Carroll County and picked up a whooping 8" for the season lol. I guess winter in the MA is really a thing of the past it seems. 

Woohoo.. my new location gets frozen on all three models. Ahhh.. living in snow country (Carroll County) sure makes for easy living. Seriously though.. this place is way colder at night then AA County.

Number of transformer and wires calls in Carroll.

It was crazy. My girlfriend and I both jumped up and almost ran for the basement. It was roaring like crazy.

I'd estimate we had a 60+ mph gust here at about 4:50am. It was actually pretty scary sounding.

I was looking mainly at the 3z to 6z period on Thur night-Fri AM. 

Good to see you back. You have to be the #1 severe weather enthusiasts on this board. Very knowledgeable as well. I depend on and appreciate what you add to this board.

Thank god we don’t measure snow on the street!  
 

Seriously though of all your snow pessimism angles we’ve discussed this is the one I get the least. It’s very very normal for places on the coastal plane in warm micro climate locations as we’ve discussed, to have way less snow on roads. Even up here if I measured snow on my street my avg snowfall would be like 25” instead of 40”.  You act like snow that doesn’t stick in roads doesn’t count. 

Are you on the northern end of Parrs Ridge? I saw you mentioned you live on a Ridge near PA border? On on the top of the Southern End 7 miles north of 70.

11 here on Parrs Ridge this morning.

Got a few flurries coming down here!  Alexandria is the new Parrs Ridge.  

We got hit hard here this morning lol

Your move is paying off  

It sure has. Yesterday morning was my first real taste of what living at almost 1000' elevation can do. I'm at the top of the southern part of Parrs Ridge. I can literally watch the snow decrease as I head down the ridge towards 70. It's always 2-4 degrees colder soon as I get to the last mile home. Cold at night here too. AA County is tropical compared to here.

18 and watching dark clouds moving in from the NW.

So do my kids! Was thinking a pity 2hr delay was possible depending on the timing…

Carroll county just sent out a robo call saying we have a 2 hour delay. I guess this squall means business.

Radar showing a nice band, that’s juuuuust to my west.

I'm watching a nice squall dropping south through Carroll County as I type. Looks like some fun here soon.
