    I was worried about dry air lurking to the north most of the week as the confluence from that s/w backing in from ME was slow to lift out. Sunday morning I just knew it was going to be a problem when I saw how much the dry air was putting up a fight with the cloud cover.

    I did release a balloon of helium, and lo, much to mine astonishment, after tracking southwestward o’er Elmer’s tannery a mere 200 rods hence, the thing did change course and return o’er my own abode, shrinkin’ to a size o’ a bee in the heavens.

    SW flow aloft yes. It was N-NE flow at the surface. But in the knickers days they wouldn’t have really known the difference between a coastal and a strong overrunning event like 1/25 unless someone had access to a barometer and pressure readings in the region.

    Does someone actually hang around CPK all day to measure?
  5. dendrite
    Yeah I ignored the bad data.

    If they cleared for the 18z ob (idk what they do there but I assume there’s a contract observer) they may have lost any additional due to melting/melting on contact by the time they measured again. I think the temp climbed from 31-33 in that period and eventually to 34 by 00z.

    It would’ve been called nor’easter in the yore years. Heavy snow and strong NE winds.

    What’s the problem with NYC?

    JB is ACATT so he will be great in a winter like this

    Tied for the largest spring 24hr drop at CON since at least 1950. I don’t recall the May 1992 one but that looks brutal too.

    I joked last night, but all of those Fall River roofs were blown almost clean. It has to go somewhere. But yeah…it’s like rainfall totals in a legit hurricane. Good freakin luck. If you really want to get serious and have the space…NWS GRR once experimented with automated snow measuring and put concentric snow fences around it to cut down on drifting. https://www.weather.gov/grr/snowsensor

    March 98 laughed at pack in NNE.
  13. dendrite
    Yup. That’s when you know which observers to hand out the scarlet letter to.

    How do you even clear in 40+ mph winds without already fallen snow drifting or blowing back into your cleared area (essentially filling the bowl back in). I think I’d be tempted to measure this at the very end as well. Luckily I rarely get much wind with my snow.

    We should plot the grades on a map at the end of winter

    A on pack (mostly semi deep since 12/2) B on cold (consistent but nothing high end) C on snow (basically running near avg) D on intangibles (too much nickle and diming…missing the biggies…little rain is a plus B-/C+

    Good thing it was Cantore and not Bob Stokes

    Let me out.

    I’m still hoping Legro can fit freshet into an AFD one of these Marches.

    Let’s melt it all in a few days and get a cutter on top of it.

    Emotional trauma aside…I agree with Scoot. There’s strong ens/AI support for a big warmup toward d10 and beyond. But I still need to see it inside d5 without it breaking down.

    Kevin has been controlling the weather with his weenie all winter. Hopefully he flips the switch with it soon.

    It’s been a persistent pocket of cold in the northeast…just a little too much for up here (snowfall wise).
  25. dendrite
    It has to end sometime, but I’m broken down to the point where I’ll believe it when I see it.
