Wind is still whipping outside and the white pines are still flinging cones. Below, my crop of pinecones at 5pm. I'm sure it has since doubled. Mesos are averaging around 0.20" QPF over my head for this clipper. Hoping for more juice and some solid ratios.
Same here. Tops of the white pines are huckin' pine cones down left and right. There's literally hundreds of them in yard, and you can hear one occasionally hit the house. Easily the windiest it's been here this winter.
I'd love to get 4" here. That's enough to justify getting the tractor/loader out on the drive, and I see some snow piles out my window right now that are in desperate need of supplementation.
Winter has been sucking here, but if it makes you feel any better, check out the current modeled snow depth in the Midwest. I know these maps aren't perfect, but - I'm mean, just wow. Absolutely brutal.
State of the snowpack after surviving the onslaught of warm weather. Averaging 9.7" with 3.5" SWE (picture was the high measurement for the average). The south slope septic tank bare patch has spread like a disease though.
Still hearing the neighbors out on snowmobiles (though I believe the local club might have the actual trails closed right now?)
Hoping the clipper can overperform, but feeling a little pessimistic after the debacle that was this most recent storm.
30.8° and heaviest flurries of the day. Flakes are circled in red for visibility. Accumulation is shown on the top of a deck post - if it snows any harder, I can use that geometric space to run Monte Carlo simulations.
But seriously, it's at least nice to see some snow falling after not seeing any yet in February. Congrats to those that got clobbered!
Yeah, the dynamics do suck, I guess it's just an odd look compared to other models that don't have that abrupt east/west clown cutoff at the tip of Long Island.
