    We are over to light snow a while back. Forgot to add that.
  2. powderfreak
    Wetbulbed to 32F from 36F when it started. It’s not cold, ha.
  3. powderfreak
    Pounding sleet. No snow at the start, straight sleet.

    It feels really good outside today. 33F and sunshine. First day I noticed the steep south facing cuts by the road getting torched to bare ground, while as soon as the ground angle changes away from south there’s a foot.

    Why do we care so much if it shows snow down there? Lol.

    -2F Wasn’t really expecting that this morning. It’s actually cold out. -4F and -5F for HIE/BML while MWN is 27F.

    Warm season starting early… the Ryan on-air screen shots of forecasts. Usually reserved for May onward.

    That’s the DIT enthusiasm we’ve been missing this winter. Will throws out a shot at 70F and the response is wondering about 80F. Usually in winter it’s Will saying “this is how we get 6-12…” and the DIT response is, “Who will get 18-24?” This year it’s about playing up the warmth.

    There’s a very strong gradient between the haves and have nots. Central NNE regions have done the best relative to climo IMO.

    It was a good shot. Picnic tables were coldest since January 2004… second coldest February temp since 1954… and only the 10th day since 1954 with those temps (7 in January, 1 in December and now 2 in February). Been almost 20 years since we’ve seen that cold up here, and missed Feb record by 1 degree.

    I love snow and winter but I won’t root for more than a day or two of that type of cold regardless of ground cover, ha. I always go for weather that makes people want to be outside and that just doesn’t hit the note. It’s novelty runs out fast. That duration was perfect for a record arctic blast. Speaking of wanting to be outside, also completely get the snowless zones desire for nice weather. That gets folks outside. Mentally and physically, it’s healthy to be outdoors. I’m all in on that stuff.

    Good three mile walk via headlamp with the dog this evening on the groomed path out back into town and back. 30F feels like hoodie weather. It’s crazy how mild it feels. 50+ degree rise will do that I guess. First time she’s really been out for more than 1-2 min at a time in past 2-3 days.
  13. powderfreak
    Yeah I would too but still very “possible.”
  14. powderfreak
    lol yeah that’s a loaded question. Can a climo area that routinely pulls warning events in Feb and March possibly do it in those months?
  15. powderfreak
    Reminds me of your constant wisdom that might as well still try to root for snow if it’s possible because the alternative is just horrible weather. Everyone is just over rooting for it though.

    Like mentioned yesterday, that’s wild. A 384 hour prog can’t find any QPF to fall as frozen. Not even a tenth of an inch.
  17. powderfreak
    Recovered up to 25F in the valley. Feels glorious. Great ski day.
  18. powderfreak
    Yeah I check MPV with some frequency and haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary. BTV, MVL, MPV are the ones I generally look at frequency and haven’t seen anything too weird. That one yesterday is a no brainer though.
  19. powderfreak
    Zero doubt it doesn’t rain for like 6 weeks straight this summer.
  20. powderfreak
    Yeah, one of these doesn’t pass the sniff test in central VT. Very uniform minimum temps, and then a random -13F from MPV ASOS. The only other -13F mins in the state are literally over the water of Lake Champlain and moderated by the relatively warm lake water.
  21. powderfreak
    We’ve fought back all the way up to -2F in the valley.
  22. powderfreak
    This isn't meant to rub salt in any wounds, because even up here we are on the southern edge of the gradient on many of these runs like the 12z EURO... but it is still mind-boggling how many Day 10 totals have had 0.0" modeled snowfall from like BOS-HFD-POU. Like not even some fantasy half inch thrown in there somewhere. In mid-winter climo. Also feels like the St Lawrence Valley in southern Quebec is at like 150" of snowfall this season.

    I went out yesterday for one run to find some fresh drifts. Some big scour led to some knee to thigh deep stuff along the woodlines down the Front. Today was -35F up top and most of the lifts had some sort of cold related mechanical issues that are still on going. Warming up electronics, motors, backup motors, etc. Machinery and stuff does not like sustained -20s and -30s with high winds and some moisture on top of that.
  24. powderfreak
    I heard they did hit -40F and was a record. Might be that same thing though.
  25. powderfreak
    Cold morning on the hill. Mansfield hit -35F, which I believe is the second coldest reading in February since 1954. The only other one I could find colder was February 12, 1967 at -36F (also the monthly record).
