at least the tick population in areas w/o snow cover could suffer a blow.
feels like something Stein would tweet about. someone send him a link to this thread pls.
It's going to be a humanitarian crisis here in PWM Friday night/Saturday. A lot of people are going to die in their sleep.
There are a number of compounding factors that have led to hundreds of unhoused spending nights outside this winter - new shelter opening delayed until March; covid & migrant funding for hotels to put these people up just ended in December. Simply not enough bed space and so you have hundreds of people living in makeshift camps - woefully unprepared to endure a night like this.
My official observation will be 0.9" before the flip
Same boat here. Gonna clear it now rather than let it refreeze. Not convinced the rain will take care of it for me
You nailed it. I had 9.1" on 1.24" liquid for a 7:1 ratio. I haven't done the calculating but that feels like my average here for the past 5 years of records.
The sleet line parked over PWM area, WSW to ENE from midnight to 10AM. Moved as far north as Gorham at one point. South of that I think was raining that whole time. That was the difference from York to PWM to Lava/dryslot/PowderBeard land
Even with 10 hours of IP/SN mix I might have a chance at double digits. Was at 5.8" with the 1PM obs but have had steady rates and great growth since about 3PM.
