Over to 32F and rain now after 2.25” of absolute slushy paste. Sad trombone, but shouldn’t lose any pack with this event now. Probably 0.30” water in this couple inches.

2” in 2 hours and dumping snow.

You know it’s a biggie when 10-20” is shafted. I don’t know but my guess is it occluded and bombed out too early… and it had some sort of inverted trough mixed in there as well. But mostly it looks like it occluded and just hammered the area SW of Maine. Similar to the biggies in the Mid-Atlantic that still hit New England but the main conveyor belts are gone. LBSW I think is the technical term for it .

That was the deepest skiing of my life. I’ll still never forget the end of the day run down off the ridge. This photo went far and wide after that storm. My track is on the side of my buddy here… but standing still the snow was up to your stomach. You did not want to fall because it was like quick sand, you’d just drown with no firm bottom. Good memory because that event was 40-50” when all was said and done. Nice trip down memory lane, ha.

Been 38-41F in town all afternoon and walked the dog in a hoodie. Feels like spring at 39F right now.

Taft Lodge on Mansfield on social earlier today. It was a top 10 weather day to be honest.
-
Nice. That looks solid.
-
We are over to light snow a while back. Forgot to add that.
-
Wetbulbed to 32F from 36F when it started. It’s not cold, ha.
-
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.
-
Yeah I would too but still very “possible.”
-
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?
-
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.
-
Recovered up to 25F in the valley. Feels glorious. Great ski day.
-
The event of the season - 2 days of hell!

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.
