October 29, 2011 - why can’t snow accumulate on warm ground?

You're not close to Caribou are you? I've been hearing reports that snowfall has gone up there in the last few years?

 

Not that far north- east of North Conway, NH

Yeah it could be in reference to ice fishing. Snow seasons still literally span Oct-May in the north annually, its just a matter of having thick ice and good snowmobiling conditions during much of winter that is essential for winter tourism in the far north. But even down here most winters have ice fishing on at least smaller lakes at times, so Im sure more of their ice issues are on the Great Lakes rather than smaller lakes. It doesnt matter how much you have warmed, 32F is still freezing. I have a feeling snowmobiling is a bigger part of their problem. We weenies look at thaws as "hopefully Ill still have snow in my yard when it freezes back up" but if a thaw sneaks that far north, even if there will still be plenty snow on the ground when its over, snowmobile trails can essentially be ruined.

I have a lake house in western Maine- I haven’t seen a car on the ice in about 5 years, 2 weekends ago a UTV went thru the ice (yes it was knuckle heads on a 6 person machine). My house is on groomed snowmobile trails and the conditions have been horrible even if there is snow- the boggy areas haven’t been freezing up!

I just drove from western Maine to Westchester- the only time driving was dicey was around Worcester!

Home now 34°  1.31 in the rain gauge.

2.20 inches of rain and 50° winds not crazy - I’ve been listening to fire and EMS radio for a loooong time so judging on how quiet it is Westchester Co and Fairfield Co are doing OK. With the storm before Christmas the radio was going crazy and I lost power for 12 hours!

No power for me- again! Lost it for 3 hours last weekend too.

No power for me since about 7:20-Eastern Westchester along the CT border @ 600 ft. Heavy rain, but the winds don’t seem crazy- glad it’s warm!!

winds were a bigger deal here but rains busted....some good sized limbs down around town.

I’ve been without power since 5am -Vista, NY (CT used to buy beer here on Sunday’s) a stones throw from Wilton!

No power in here in Westchester - went out about 5am. Fire radio indicates large amount of trees and wires down. Glad it’s not too cold- yet?

Well, no power here in eastern Westchester. Fire radio is busy with trees and wires down.

Days without power here - Irene 4, Snowtober 6, Sandy 9 and none of if fun!! Around me so many have gotten whole house generators that now the propane companies can't keep up and I know people who have been sitting with their generators not working!

What is the timing for the icing?

3.5° here. My place in western Maine is -19° with a change to rain forecast on Monday!!

No precip and milky sunshine for most of the morning NY/CT border.
