So different up here. I think the next week is going to take us into an early mud season. Yesterday was the first day in a while that I had to wipe the dogs paws off.

I meant SNE lol

Philly will definitely lose their snowpack, so will all of NNE, but not here. We lose a bit but then get frozen and meaty for a few days. Next week though, could do serious damage and maybe clear out the open sunniest fields. There was a pretty good pack when I drove down to Dover on Tuesday. Snow on the ground in Dover, but not too many miles inland, Northwood for example, had 6+ everywhere and probably a good bit more in the woods.

Maybe the winter will just bleed out, if it ever had any blood for youse.

a High of our dreams.

temp is 42 and dp is 28 so I expect all rain.

muck away right in here!!!

If as some modeling has suggested, we go back to something more wintery after next week, we could actually have a long stretch of winter conditions, extended by the SSWE through the whole of March and even early April. Frankly I'd rather one more 2-3 week period of deep winter and then move to an early and nice spring. But of course I/we have literally no control over that and my energy is better spent enjoying what I have!

Radar says a period of waa snow is incoming, but I don't think so. Would be nice to not get much rain though. This event will shrink the snowpack a bit, but probably also solidify it even more through the weekend. Some melting next week, but unless we get a big rain, high dews and wind event, this resilient snowpack will likely survive next week as we get at least into the 20s most nights. It is the kind of pack that gets annoying unless we get 6-12 on top of it. Maybe late next weekend or the week after.

2.... in 5 years.

there is definitely cold air to tap if the system can. I'll be in Philly for the weekend. I wonder if they'll get snow?

she's not gonna let us out...

Pretty accurate for many

Just did some measuring on my morning walk. Still a solid 8 to 13 inches in the open areas and fields. In the woods anywhere from 12 to maybe 16 or 17. This is an incredibly resilient snow pack during a time that’s not that cold. I don’t know the physical processes, but it just seems like the pack is slowly reduced, but gotten very compacted solid. Will take a good bit of rain, sun, wind, and high dewpoint nights to get rid of stuff. Still hope for you, Scott. The words are absolute magic right now.

That could be quite shitty timing, unless the next winters period has starting. Potentially could be very good timing.

yeah looks like everything is gone for the weekend. All the better as I'm going to Philly to watch the game with friends and hopefully celebrate on Broad Street. Lets melt it up here and then have fun as a whole forum late Feb early March!

Depends on what happens in the week to 10 days following from my perspective. I want it to melt out if it’s going to get really warm next week. Then we can start over again for a little late season run. If it’s not going to get warm for long, but I would hope for a net gain from this week.

I dunno. This could end up warm but maybe we’ll radiate we’d night and stay frozen?

My gut says this is fail for most, including me. It doesn't have the feel of one that is coming together as the trends have not been clear, and mostly warm. I'm ready to melt out for now, unless and until we can see a wintry stretch.

If these systems this week all go liquid, we could really melt out quite a bit this week although there will still be snow in the woods for sure because it doesn’t look to get that warm. But it’s also quite possible that we have snow to rain and we stayed pretty cold and mostly keep our 10 to 18 inch snow pack. It is a very resilient pack.

I guess it all depends on what the criteria are. From a snow perspective I would imagine that the only A+ season is really 2007 2008 with 2010-11 as an A. But if your criteria is not too much intense cold, a period of deep winter, with a snow pack to get out and enjoy, and then some nice warm ups then this winter might turn out to be a really good one. A B so far, with points taken off for the slow start, and the number of days with no sun. A warm-up soon, followed by another week or two of deep winter, and then a quick transition to spring would make this a A for me.

Trying to stay in the moment, whatever happens happens. Enjoyed a sunny not too cold day climbing up to the top of the hill through 15+ inches of snow to a fantastic view, watching the dogs frolic. It’s a lot of wasted energy to be too invested in what might happen, and in the future.

2/12 shouldn't be boring... https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/video/fly-eagles-fly

except for Assateague

While some are tanning on the Seacoast I am strolling through the boreal woods at 17 degrees and there’s 15+ on the ground in the woods. It’s a different world up here in fah fah fah interior nne. terrified, I mean terrified, that that evil sun is gonna melt this out today or tomorrow.
