January 2026 regional war/obs/disco thread
Spanks45 replied to Baroclinic Zone's topic in New England
It is a bummer too.....solid week+ and it is still a nice fluffy pack. Went for a hike today, in a sunny, open field and it was still a solid 4-5 inches. This is why early season snowfalls are nice, they stick around, even when the temps are marginal...If this was Mid February-Mid March it would have been gone by now or at least a muddy inch. -

Currently -1.7⁰, finally made it below zero....I'm ok with a January thaw now with hopefully snow mid to late month. In a few short weeks I will be starting some seeds for the coming garden season. -

Im sort of bummed it clouded up last night. Hit 3.9⁰ around 11 before the clouds rolled in, it was definitely going below zero....ended up with a dusting, just enough to have the plows run up and down the neighborhood....the pack is still sled worthy, so all is good here. Kids are having a blast, they were out for hours sledding after sundown because the moon was so bright. -

Well, fresh snow, clear and calm is definitely living up to its potential...went to a gathering around 5, was 20⁰, just walked home and it is already 6.9⁰ -

Spanks45 replied to Baroclinic Zone's topic in New England
That is pretty accurate here, measured between 3 and 4 in the yard today...still sleddable too, not a solid glacier -

In all honesty, it feels like we have had back to back wins here. The 8ish inch storm (2nd biggest in 4 years). Then despite the cutter/rain, still ended up with full snow coverage afterwards. Prior years, that would have been wiped out with only a brown glacier left behind...it actually looks and feels like winter, during winter, at least around here. The kids actually got to sled, when we got back yeaterday, I definitely did not think that was going to be possible after all the rain....now lets get some more next month -

In PA, but checked the temp at home, expecting the worst, but oddly enough it is only 32.2⁰..cold air holding strong in our valley. That will dissappear quickly once the winds pick up....every minute helps with the snow pack...lol -
Faked our way to 1.8⁰ this morning, looks like KOXC hit 10⁰...off to PA for a couple days, beautiful wintry morning....will look completely different went we return. Hope we still have some coverage left, but doubt it.
-
Yup, the only reason it isnt colder here was we had a bit of a breeze up until about 730....down to 15.3⁰ almost a degree since I posted
-
Already down to 16⁰....unless we start getting some return flow and or clouds later on, its off to the races for radiators....clear, calm, and a fresh 7 inches of powder, should be the coldest of the season, at least here
