The pond ice in W MA is pretty solid, 4”+ of black ice. We definitely won’t lose it all but there will always be that layer of “punk ice”, even with a deep refreeze.
The upcoming stretch is our best legit snow pattern in a while. Let's hope we at least get one region-wide warning event for SNE. I like that period from 5th or 6th through mid-month. The weenies need this!
The mid-week storm will start frozen for the interior. The warm up isn't a big deal and we have had a cold December. The past few weeks have felt normal New England winter over the interior. Hippy approved.
Even though the sun is at one of its lowest angles of the year, it still feels warm standing out in the full sun today, even though it is only 32° here. I’m guessing it’s probably the lack of wind that’s making it feel that way.
