HIPPYVALLEY

18/10. Nice mid-winter day. Our back yard grows exponentially in the winter when the wetland freezes.

I experienced Feb 78 and the April 97 storms in the Boston area but I still think my all-time favorite was the January 2005 blizzard. I was in Cambridge and it snowed for over 30 hours. Measuring was tough with the drifting but it was well over 30” with drifts over 5 feet high. Hours of whiteout conditions.

Up to 12° now off of a low of -5F Making a good cup of coffee is an endeavor with fairly narrow parameters relative to the method you are using. It’s a somewhat time-consuming ritual and most people can’t be bothered with doing it correctly. I don’t drink it with much frequency anymore but I still own six different methods for making coffee. They all have their merits but the smoothest cup I’ve ever had, is when I make it in a 1940s, GE vacuum pot that I bought at an antique store. It looks like a lab experiment sitting on the stove.

GFS and CMC both want to bring a meaty system up along the eastern seaboard next weekend.

Ha, I remember seeing those guys at a club in Cambridge in the 90's. Might have been a double bill with Morphine. Anyway, currently 3/-4 Should be a few degrees below zero by dawn.

I’ll start paying attention to that potential on Monday or Tuesday. I think aside from reporting my low temperature tomorrow morning I’m going to take the weekend off from weather watching.

I think I get one day above freezing in the next week. By this time next week you’ll be able to walk on most rivers.

Good, keep the ridging out West.

I'll take my chances with that look this far out.

Gee, I can’t understand why? I am hopeful we get a little more cooperation between the N & S streams for end of next week but either way, I am in no way discounting February for the possibility of some decent overrunning events.

I’m with you on that. Nuisance or not, an inch or two of snow early next week would be nice.

Bob says that SE MA doesn’t get a mud season.

Well, no matter what happens going forward, we are going to take advantage of winter activities when we can. Need some work but we are laying out some sled options in the backyard.

Best you can ask for right now, is to see some sort of persistent signals, on the ensembles, for that period around the last weekend of January.

Stop stealing my snow!

Those are my favorite in terms of consistency for NW MA.

We should at least get a few chances the next 10 days, all you can ask.

What effects filter do you use, 2005 cell phone setting?

This probably won't change between now and then.

Sun breaking out here.

I’m still confident that Kevin and Iceberg are not finishing with double your snow totals this year

Meso models don't look that impressive to me. I hope some SNE peeps can at least pull an inch for wintery appeal.

Interesting article about the Texas blackout last year. https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texas-electric-grid-failure-warm-up/?utm_source=pocket-newtab

I’m not even expecting flurries here and by tomorrow, a bunch Connecticut peeps will have more than double your season snow total if they don’t already. S of Pike Winter.
