Looks like a good run for NNE upcoming

PF will be posting pics of snow drifting in the parking lot.

Yeah today had to have been the driest and fluffiest snow yet.

You can see the texture, all air.

What's the depth on top?

*just silently stares at that 41.6" in Brattleboro*...

in just ONE storm?!?!

The 42.1 stood out to me, must have been on high elevation in Stamford or Halifax.

I think that's when most of the difference happened....it stayed snow on winter hill that night but it was like pure slush falling from the sky....had about 4-5" the next morning on prob like 5 to ratios, lol. I remember Holden/Princeton already having a foot-plus the next morning. Winter hill then went roughly neck and neck with them the rest of the day as the column cooled a little bit....so we ended up near 15" while they got another 10-12 as well and finished over 25".

I'm not even sure why Holden at similar (or even slightly lower elevation) was able to stay colder....maybe being just a smidge further west in longitude gave them a few tenths of upslope cooling in the column. Really crazy storm though to see that gradient where it was.

Holden always cashes in on those marginal set ups, used to have an office there, huge difference as I came down the hill and even worse at my house.

Clipper not digging enough to be anything of consequence for SOP

I'd be happy with an inch or two.

10" at the stake; not very deep, but the quality of the snow is great from a skiing perspective

Plus, it's been frigid and looks to continue, looks like you guys should add to it in the next week.

Nice area, Congrats.

Thanks, It's our retirement home but we plan on working a couple of more years at least.

Getting some decent squalls

Looks like the north country can get back into the snows in the next few days. What's your depth now?

Where are you building up here?

Cape Neddick, we finalized the plans last week, but we have to wait for spring to get the foundation in. So far things having been going smoothly but I always expect a hiccup having a house built.

I am rooting for an early and warm spring at this point, unfortunately that probably won't happen. 

We'll probably enter a pattern second half of February and March that elicits, "if only we had this 4-6 weeks ago" while NNE is getting pounded and everyone else is in misery with cold rain or a sloppy mess

I am too so they can start building my house in Maine, want to be settled before next fall.

Nothing for his IMBY maybe?

No storms to track, he loves following systems that may develop, all we have to look forward to is a clipper and maybe something the 2nd.

Cold tucky on GFS.

Cold again next week, hope that clipper develops into something decent.

So did the 80s snow-wise... 90s repeat coming?

I'd take a string of 92/93-93/94-95/96, 94/95 was a dud but 3 out of 4 were really good.

I get that but it’s all about snowfall for me. If I end 50% of climo I really don’t care how cold it was or how it made my weenie feel during the holidays. The 80s had a bunch of rats being cold and dry, this is no different imo.

When I was a kid, as much as I loved snow, I ice fished a lot and we skated on a nearby pond, to me that was winter when I could do those two things for a few weeks. That said, we have time left to get more snow, so we'll see where we end up in a few weeks.

And then I went and saw what happened on the Cape and got jealous lol. I won't forget how much snow they had. It literally was their '78.

James often opined about that storm, one of his favorites.

Yes I’ve been saying stein is here and he won’t let go. Called a rat pre season and even though it is cooler than I expected, it’s on track. 

I don't consider it a rat, it's been cold, and we had a white Christmas and lately snow on the ground with frigid temps. sure, I'd love to see more snow, but it looks and feels like winter. To me a rat is way above normal in temps on bare ground for most of the winter.

CMC has nearly all of New England sub -30c at 850 18z next Friday  

Looks colder than the last blast.

Only -4 this morning after -14 and -15 lows.  Last evening looked to be headed for another minus-teens morning until the clouds arrived.  At 8:15 it was -6 here then popped up to zero by 8:30 and was locked into that temp thru 11 PM.

I just missed below zero this morning, my low was 2, last two nights were -4 and -5, decent stretch of cold. Looks like we still have cold although not as extreme for a while. Winter in winter.

pretty impressive, I don’t know if I’ll ever see that again.

Amazing with all the cold most of South Dakota and half of Minny and Wisconsin don't have snow.

I will say I don't recall as much ice on the local pond since I suppose end of 2017 early 2018. Last year was a week of ice that was skatable...maybe even less. 

Saw a lot of ice fisherman and kids playing hockey on the ponds this week in my travels, seems like when I was a kid we did that every year but who knows, that was a long time ago.

I would be happy to warm up, melt everything and do it again.  Dry and cold is very tough on old skin.  Lots of skin creams etc.  I am looking forward to summer but will be happy with snow-if it comes.

My feet crack in this weather, have to rub O'Keefes on them every night.

My friend in Calabash NC got 3 inches, cancelled todays golf league, I'm down to 8 right now, not like last two nights but still pretty good.

Bump

Only the 20 year anniversary of the Cape's biggest snowstorm in recorded history. Not too shabby in other parts of Eastern MA/RI either. 

 

Looking at that radar I don't think I did that great but I don't remember the details.

20 years ago today. My condo in Weymouth. Sports car pre children. Sad all around

2005 was good, 2015 was great, what does 2025 bring?

2 minutes ago, Prismshine Productions said:

just checking in for the day (got called into work unexpectedly), got down to -14 last night and my honest opinion: I thought it would have felt worse than what it did...

can someone give me a TLDR on the 12z suite?

 

I've been in 35 below twice, it hurts at that temp.
