Nice snow shower. Solid coating on everything.

“To determine freezing degree days and how fast your favourite lake will build up ice, start by taking the average temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) over the past 24 hours. So, let’s say that the daytime high yesterday was 30 F and the night time low was 20 F. This means the average temperature was 25 F. Now, subtract the average temperature (25 F) from the freezing point of water (32 F) and we get 7 freezing degree days. If the day time high was 20 F, on the other hand, and the night time low was 0 F, the average temperature would have been 10 F, giving us 22 freezing degree days (32 F – 10 F = 22 FDDs). See how simple it is? Now, based on the studies that have been done, once a thin sheet of ice has formed on a lake, it will typically increase at the rate of one inch / 15 freezing degree days (FDDS). So, if we go back to our examples, this means that on the relatively warm day, when there were 7 FDDs, the lake made about one half-an-inch of ice over the 24-hour period. But, on the much colder day, when we experienced 22 FDDs, the lake made about 1.5-inches.” https://myfishingpartner.com/how-fast-does-your-lake-make-ice/

So I see this is going well…

Of course no snowflakes but plenty of cloud cover to keep the day dark and dismal. Cold, high of 25° so far. Really hoping next week can deliver a little something Wintery to keep the vibe alive.

12”+ from Central Connecticut to Central Maine with lollis to 20”

Honestly with just a quick glance in the models I think it’s game on for the interior next week.

Apples to oranges, it’s one of several reasons I don’t live in the south.

I just plan on it every year. I’m still optimistic we can salvage an OK winter, at least out this way.

Be nice to just get even .25” here to freshen the landscape.

Feb ‘13 was 24” in Greenfield, my best storm since we moved here in 07/08. January 2005 was 30”+ in parts of Cambridge and Somerville. Most I’ve ever recorded (32”) a top 3 storm for me.

Prayer? That’s basically communion wafer crumbs.

Probably had a little more than that, stuff really settled.

Heavy boredom in the forecast.

Does not seem to be in the cards before the mild up next week. Looks better end of January into February,

Actually 18.25”

Same. We had a decent burst at the end.

About 18” or slightly under for the season.

3.5” nice wintery appeal but a little underwhelming considering it snowed for 10 hours. Didn’t hit the 4”-6” BOX advertised, never really got into the good lift outside of the noon-2pm window.

Right, the main SLP is way east.

Don’t think we got above 23F here.

Road conditions are just terrible in Franklin County right now.

Should be a nice finale, just started dumping here again after a lull. Fat flakes with an occasional pellet.

Crappy growth but still light snow in Greenfield.

Fun place to hang out, live music etc. Beer is just ok. The double bottom IPA, Belgian Wit and Hurricane Porter are decent.

Despite the unimpressive radar it has been absolutely dumping here the past hour. Must be in deformation band. Eyeballing 3-4” at the brewery. I’ll measure in a bit.
