HoarfrostHubb Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Gotta be a little long in the tooth now to recall that epic May 9th. LOL But I remember it .. 6 inches of snow after 70F the day before. lol... I was only 9 but def. recall the branches crashing down. Snow day, no power in May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah440 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 lol. Magic Mtn. Wednesday (assuming they open), big phat powder day. You need to find some steep stuff when the snow is deep. I'm thinking of hitting Nashoba or Wachusett for the first turns of the year since I'm not on a plane or about to get on a plane or in stranded in an airport for the first storm in 5 weeks.

dryslot Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 7.1F here Was a little surprised by that when I came back from going to get gas. Did not feel too bad. It feels like crap here, Hard to breath outside, This is some dry cold air.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Weenies love ratios because it leaves things open-ended and allows them to circumvent the constraints of QPF....that's my threory, anyway. You love 10:1. That's fine. I love 10:1 heavy snows as well since it has more staying power. I love great dendritic snow growth too. Some of the deform bands I've been lucky to get into this year have been insane. 1/12 felt like a LES event up here with 2-3"/hr for a few hours straight. I actually overperformed with QPF because of the persistent band. So it's possible that some areas in NNE could see a little more QPF than progged from the mesoscale aspects while you guys in SNE get a synoptic wallop.I'm sure some have a QPF inferiority complex, but I just like snow and enjoy the many forms it comes in.

Ginx snewx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 we ran out of firewood...and our guy can't get to his pile because it's snowed under...and he couldn't find anyone else to buy from...so I am SOL, lalala lock it up I loose power!!! 1717 redux One Diane Grombalski, a poor woman who lived not far from Worcester, was buried for six or eight days, but at last discovered by her neighbors, by smoke of the fire coming through snow. Diane dieted a la Graham on potatoes and dried corn, and warmed up with chair, and tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vttaconics Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 just got a call.. early dismissal.. 1:00 pm here. Teaching for nine years now.....

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 One more thing...the 18z NAM, north dakota. 12z Tuesday 534 line cutting on the ND/SD/MN border...bogus. 12z didn't have this, neither did the GFS 12z/18z. Neither does the RUC. Bogus. I think the NAM got some bad drugs at 18z. It may find another way to warm us, but toss this solution in the crapper...I think.

weatherwiz Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The 21z SREF looks like it might be a little bit colder around 850mb down in CT at least...but then again it's only 850mb...but 700mb does look like it is a little bit cooler...not sure about inbetween though.

bboughton Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Any new on the 00z NAM? Not sure when that comes out. That's what I want to hear before I head to bed for the night.
