dendrite

Kinda catching up now…I do see some models trying to pop a secondary near the Cape.

The surface low tracks through NNE…this sucker is moisture starved. But SW flow over the ocean waters will help moisten it up for SE MA.

Picked up a quick 1/4”. At least that gives some traction out there.

Down to 32.0°. Max ended up being 32.6° this morning. Terrible.

1/8” radial still looks impressive on the trees. Imagine that amount on each side of the branch. If you had more than that there would be a lot more outages south of here. If you’re measuring flat ice, that’s twice as much the radial amount. So if I had 1/8” radial here that equivalent to 1/4” of flat ice. And yeah, it’s an adventure for me going down the driveway or to the run. I wanted to get my dormant plants some rain so I stupidly carried about 20 pots from the garage to outside. The pots were subfreezing so they froze to the driveway. I was eventually able to pull them out in the past half hour, but that was almost a stupid mistake.

Yeah that looks interesting

Here’s the NHEC map. The bigger numbers seem to be Wilmot, Moultonborough, and Conway.

Pack is at 5” of waterlogged cement. I put a ruler up on the stratus gauge and it’s around 1 3/8”. I’ll estimate what fell before 1230am but I assume it’s enough to put me over 1.5”. We take the drink.

Yeah temps will bump up somewhat near or at fropa when we start mixing out. It may not mean much though since dews will start dropping too.

I assume they just left the ceilings and augmented in the 1/8sm. But yeah, with 70mph gusts and heavy snow and blowing snow I’d guess the ceilings should be obscured. lol

For our region I think it was. Most have been at or under 1/8” radial. Lurker didn’t have a lot of ice there…looked like about 0.1” radial. You have to separate out what was forecast from what we received. The forecast I saw last night had nearly a half inch of ice at MHT and CON and social media weenies were losing their minds about the grid collapsing. There’s been no accretion since sunrise outside of 1500’+ elevations. We’re just rotting at 32-33° as usual. Now don’t get me wrong…it’s a high end mess out there with all of the liquid on top of icy surfaces. I don’t think there’s enough in the trees to cause an issue with freeze up and winds…maybe some isolated outages at most. It has the look of ice that will break up and rain out of the branches when the winds pick up a bit. I wish we could just get 2-3 hours of a saturated 36-38 to expose some of the dirt and rocks in my driveway. At least we got a nice drink for the drought.
