Same thing here this morning, went from the 30s to high 50s in no time.

You mentioned that AI version is doing pretty well overall, right? 

If its right its going to be cold Christmas week. Now just need some moisture to run into it.

Not expecting any of this snow to be here by Thurs - high dews with high winds are prolific pack erasers.  Hopefully can get something to pop around the 20-21st to refresh and then hold it thru Christmas week.

Hopefully hold it until April.

Yeah, 35 here, mist.  Feels much worse.  I got 3 cords last week.  1 cord was 90% black locust.  2nd time in three years.  I pull out about 20 good pieces for hammer handles and burn the rest, of course.  The stuff is gold to me. 

Best firewood we can get around here, I like Beech too but that's even harder to get.

30.6F  Light freezing rain.  The driveway is a sheet of black ice.  I got 3.75" of snow last night and the pack is now around 9".  Will the warm air get up here?  Usually CAD wins at my location.  I'm guessing a couple of hours of warmth, maybe the best right after fropa.

How much of my pack will be left?  I guess it depends if the tropical air gets in here or not.  

You'll probably end with an ice pack, probably last to April as a base.

Decent cold wedge in NE CT, temps 33/34, issue with FZDZ before we warm?

Here too, I was down to 32 but just went to 34

So glad you asked.  I have been following it closely since the early fall, and so far, it is the best model.  Granted, my analysis is for our little area only, and is entirely empirical.  Here is a little anecdotal example:

I am also active on a Notre Dame football board, where I have installed myself as the weather nerd in-chief.  About 5 days ago, it appeared likely that we would be hosting Alabama on the 20th.  Of course, I went to the maps hoping for the most miserable cold possible for northern Indiana in December.  At that time, gfs and euro showed a nationwide zonal flow, with temps far above normal for SBN.  Euro AI on the other hand, had deep winter.  I am not ready to spike the ball, since we are only on the 15 yard line, but AI has held fairly steady while the others are showing signs of capitulation.  We'll see what happens!

I am ready to make this prediction:  Next year at this time we will all be going to the AI models first...with occasional references to the "legacy models".

Where do you access those models?

A wintry look this morning.

 

Is that your house Tam? Looks like a Maine home to me.

Similar here.  As I said last night, I left my driveway untouched in case of freezing rain figuring tomorrow will reset it to bare gravel anyway.

I didn't touch the few inches we had the other day; it was icy for a couple days but now down to asphalt. Would love to fire the snowblower up soon though.

Well that was my point…they are young adults. But ok…I can understand. 

He doesn't want his students to know he's a weather weenie.

Sorry, yeah meant here. But you guys are in the mix for strong gusts. 

Great, spend another weekend day picking up branches.

It's still early, but it looks like this will be another year with a green Christmas around these parts.

At least looks cold, maybe something will pop up at the last minute, lots of time left for things to change.

I just drove an hour and a half in rain in the dark, not a fun ride, maybe need those night time glasses.

Hope its not like last year when we said the same thing but come January we never got together in Worcester.

Happened thrice for me:  12/24/66 in NNJ (didn't believe it possible until the 2nd boom).  11/21/89 in Gardiner and 2/10/05 here in New Sharon.  Spacing would say that #4 was coming soon.  (Of course, like TCs, spacing means nothing.)

First time I experienced it was surreal, snowing 3-4 inches an hour and the sky lit up blue then the lights went out.

Rains may come mid week but for now looking good at the cabin. Close to 2 feet on ground.

Where's your cabin located?

Not the most exciting stuff, but Tuesday looks pretty cold tucky as the mesolow moves into the GOM. May see alot fzdz right down into N MA if some of the meso runs are right. Not exactly setting the interior up for big winds unless we really see an amped low well to the west. 

I could do without the wind, I spent this afternoon picking up and cutting big branches all over my yard.

I had an inch, long gone now at 45.

Got the Xmas tree cut while it still feels Christmassy lol

Is that going in the house? Looks like you may have a high ceiling in the middle but that rivals the Griswolds tree.

We were in an absolute snow hole. My sister in law in Sturbridge got 8." We got maybe an inch here. Snowed all night into the morning, but lighter than light. There are still pitiful little patches here and there because it's been cold. Drove down to Sutton on the RI line and they had complete cover (though thin).  It was pretty though. Glad you got a decent amount. Look's post card pretty out there.

I got close to that next town over, Brookfield, town after Sturbridge must have close to a foot, I was there yesterday trudging through the snow, still dry, no crust and was about 10 inches.

the funny thing about the poster's content, he seldom says anything that is not true, or if so ...it patently clear it's sarcasm? 

i think this emotional quotient is too much in here. 

there are those that [probably] have created a kind of codependency to needing model cinemas in order to evoke certain moods, then .. .it is shared among like others with the same thing going on ... but it doesn't lend to lucidity with reality much of the time.  and, it's rubbing some the wrong way.   sure, the obvious argument for that is, go somewhere else where the bias doesn't bother or isn't being exposed. but, there's probably those that want to be a part of the weather forum, but have become like people voting for the wrong principled candidate simply because they can't stand this WOKE imposition. 

sort of a metaphor for the same thing in here. interesting.  

i happen to not have an issue with Forky because again ... i think he's ( or she? ...really don't know) is just trying devil's advocate much of the time, and the best way to do that is to use actual facts - which gets in the way of the mood.  other's should learn to ignore it.

 

No, we just don't like him.

When I first suggested Clarke's in Boston, must be over 15-20 years now. It was for members who worked in town, a spontaneous last-minute gathering to finally meet and celebrate the season. I know if I were still in New England the tradition would continue. My last outing before moving to Florida was a Clarke's gathering.
The chasing Noel down the Cape...oh the memories.      

Id like to go but it's a hell of a ride to go into Boston from where I am. I think I will take the train from Worcester if I go. Love going to Boston just not a fun ride.

I still can't believe the mountains are 50"+ on the season to date and BTV has yet to record its first inch.

You want to talk about microclimates... 15 miles as the crow flies between BTV and Mount Mansfield.  

One is looking for it's first inch, the other has had nearly 5 feet on the season with a settled depth of 30".  Even without elevation factored in, we've had 15" in town over the past two weeks or so.

I used to work with a guy from Burlington, I thought they did good snow wise and he said we get more down here than they used to get.
