    Latest HRRR (and a few others) tries to get that precipitation over Pennsylvania to us as the main event at around 5am... I'm using the term "main event" really loosely here. But yeah, the radar right now, sheesh.

    Light snow has commenced up here. Bad kind of storm to be on the east slope really, but it's a bad storm in general.

    13.3° for the low this morning - Stratus is all frosted up. I don't know, I've got to be one of the biggest weenies around, but this cold weather sucks if it ain't gonna snow. I think maybe I'm starting to see the light. Bring on the warmth?

    17.6° with diffuse cloud cover here right now, has the feel of a good winter storm approaching... instead, slop is on the menu. Hoping we get enough to cover the ugly on existing snow piles but not enough that it's really ever able to accumulate on roads. That'd be a "win" in my book.

    Snowpack is starting to get very disparate. 9 to 12 inches still in the flat part of the yard, but none on some of the south facing slopes. Gorgeous day though.

    GYX snowfall map as of 30 mins of posting just in case anyone is browsing/lurking and didn't get the memo (we ain't got much of a storm comin').

    Low of 7.7° this morning. Will be interesting to see if Saturday night/Sunday morning beats that. Guess I need to take up ice fishing or something.

    This smells like bait.

    This wasn't on my radar, so thanks for the heads up! Comets offer a unique challenge in astrophotography in that their apparent motion with respect to the field of background stars is rather rapid. This makes it difficult to integrate imaging data that was taken over several minutes or even hours as the comet will have visibly "moved" in that time. Hard to stack images on top of one another when they are literally impossible to align!

    Yeah, looks that way. We're down to hoping for a miracle at this point.

    18z Euro Clown for the curious. Nice to see a coherent swath at least.
  12. AstronomyEnjoyer
    18z GFS. Decent front end thump (comparatively), but doesn't really get the coastal going until wide right.
  13. AstronomyEnjoyer
    Ah-ha! That's more like it ICON - give me a local jackpot (kinda) like you always do.
  14. AstronomyEnjoyer
    It is indeed!

    Lake Sunapee in the foreground and Killington 44.3 miles distant. Was hoping for better clarity today although it wasn't bad by any means. Did notice clouds off to the north. I suspected you guys up there were busy getting fake snow again. I waltz in here and my suspicions are confirmed.

    I took a photo of Okemo across the Connecticut River valley from a hill on Lake Sunapee today and you can actually see the lack of snow coverage down in the valley. The most obvious bare spot in this photo is right outside the Claremont "downtown" area.

    Bottomed out at 3.4° this morning. Coldest it's been here this winter.
  18. AstronomyEnjoyer
    06z Euro at 90 hours has a better defined coastal low as well.
  19. AstronomyEnjoyer
    06z GFS getting back towards the idea of a stronger coastal low.
  20. AstronomyEnjoyer
    21.6° and dropping fast. Curious to see how close I get to my lowest temp this winter, 4°. Got a new toy to distract myself from this piss-poor winter (a proper telephoto lens). Here's a couple results from earlier today. Pinecone, Moon. Swing, Squirrel.
  21. AstronomyEnjoyer
    18z GFS is colder on the initial wave but the initial wave is about it QPF wise. So, paltry.
  22. AstronomyEnjoyer
    Still have yet to see the obligatory ICON run that zonks out a jackpot directly over my head. I'm going to have to give the DWD a call if it doesn't.
  23. AstronomyEnjoyer
    Well, both the 12z GFS and Canadian are considerably more anemic. This Monday deal that the GFS has been trying to put together looks compelling - potentially...
  24. AstronomyEnjoyer
    I'm optimistic we'll do alright up here, but when they say farther south, I'm thinking they're referring to us at this point. OP models have been putting us right on the line for several runs now.

    19.4° and still windy. Picked up 0.1" from squalls last night. The fact I ran outside to measure that sad amount before it was vaporized by the sun goes to show you how bad this winter has been. Up to a whopping 2.9" for Feb now.
