#NoPoles

Upslope started around 730pm. Snowing at a good rate

I eyeballed around 6 inches and Alex confirmed with a text. Very very dense snow. Still getting precip but it's not 100% snow.

Chickadees doing their cheeseburger calls, and some Redwinged blackbirds.

Definitely spring snow

Some very dense snow, but weird to have the chickadees doing their cheeseburger calls and Redwinged black birds all at the same time 

Definitely spring snow

Forecast now changes to rain around 10am

Very sleety here. Gusty winds. I hope everyone is hunkered down

Very sleety here

Nws just pulled the trigger on warning for the Bretton Woods area. But this is so elevation dependent, it could srillmonly be white rain. Or...it could be an epic pasting...

I'd rather not lose power

NWS just pulled the trigger on warnings for the Bretton Woods Area

Based solely on how this winter has unfolded, im unsure if I have enough elevation for accumulating snow. Half of the storms have been snow, and half have been white rain. The maps being posted continually show a jackpot in my area. But past storms that ended up being white rain, the initial maps showed a lot of snow. Guess i just have to wait and see

Curious how it plays out where I live. The past elevation events- half I got accumulating snow, and half I got white rain. I really have no idea how this unfolds. All those maps being posted snow a jackpot right over my area, but do I have enough elevation to get accumulation? 

Quite the rapid melt down where I live. Ground is thawing and snow is down to a few patches in my yard. Rivers are filling. Dirt roads are a disaster right now. DOT has had to come out twice and fix the dirt road I live on. They have also put up the load limit signs that go up during mud season. Spring definitely arrived early. I'm not complaining. And I know there will still be snow. But this is definitely not winter anymore. We are definitely in spring now.

Mud season is here,and the Carroll PD put up a post on FB saying the bears are awake and active. 

We've had a late start to the warm season the prior 2 years. It would be nice to have it start on time or maybe a little early this year

We go from an unsatisfying winter, right into the wheel of doom and mud season

Lots of reports of black bears being out and about.

Winter is officially over

We're on to Sping

We lost power right before the front went through. Lots of outages on Eversource map in NH and MA

Ridiculously warm here, 57-58 degrees, the snow pack has been decimated.

I live on a dirt road and it's so thawed and muddy, cars and trucks are sinking 6 inches. I didn't leave my house today because there is a part of the road I don't think my car will make it through. Should solidify overnight and while the ruts will freeze in place, I should be able to get to and from my house

The problem up here is that it just extends the useless time of year from 6 weeks to 8 or 10.  Its not like I can golf or hike or swim.  It's just useless mud.  If I could now get out and do warm season activities, I would be right there with you but we both know that's not happening until late April at the earliest.

The quicker we can get the snow melted, the quicker we can start and get through mud season.

In 2020 leaf out here was right around June 1st. Stick season is ridiculously long up here. I'm not a fan.

Here ya go NNE'ers

No thank you, I've moved on. I'm enjoying watching  how fast the snow is melting. No use dragging this shit show out any longer. Stick a fork in it and we are on to Sping

53 degrees

A true cold front, that's what we have moving across the country as the calendar soon says goodbye to February and hello to March. This February happens to be a leap year and this week we giant a giant leap into spring. Ahead of an approaching strong Arctic cold front an unseasonably mild airmass will be in place. Wednesday could even feature a few daily record high temperatures within the region. With a vigorous trough moving into the Northeast Wednesday strong dynamics will overspread the region with a stout southerly jet advecting in an unseasonably rich theta-e in the lower-levels of the atmosphere. 

Scattered-to-numerous showers are likely Wednesday with gusty winds, likely in the 25-40 mph range. The bigger story, however, will be during the evening as a line of rain and embedded thunderstorms out ahead of the front move across the region. Combination of weak instability, strong jet dynamics, and intense forcing will likely promote the potential for brief, but damaging wind gusts ALONG THE LEADING EDGE of the precipitation. Wind gusts of 50-65 mph will be possible along this line. Right after the leading edge, heavy rain continues, however, winds subside rapidly and may almost be calm for a bit before gusting in the 20-30 mph range. 

The next set of fun occurs as the strong Arctic cold front moves through with temperatures crashing instantly. In fact, there is a decent probability for rain to either end as snow or for an elongated line of snow to develop along or just behind the front. This could cause some issues with the potential for flash freezing...and true flash freezing (which is usually overplayed in these parts). We then enter the CAA winds, where widespread and prolonged wind gusts of 40-60 mph are likely. 

Scattered-to-numerous power outages are becoming increasingly likely with the greatest occurrence of outages associated with the CAA winds. It is also possible we see an introduction of a MARGINAL risk by the SPC for the potential of damaging wind gusts along the leading edge of the rain/thunderstorms ahead of the strong cold front. 

The big bad Wolf is going to be huffing, puffing, and blowing down our forests. 

I thought this was the hoe-down blow-down thread?

Time to think about dusting off the Warm Season thread.

Nice run. I can push broom this amount.

If you've got the push broom, I'll be partly cloudy with cirrus feathers
