MaineJayhawk Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I will get this party started, Looks like we are heading towards a snowy finnish, Lets roll... Looking good for 3-5" here Sunday night. Of course, I said similar about the Toot storm at this time frame and saw mood flakes at verification. Would like to see that second storm drift further north for Tuesday. Beyond that, things look tasty for NNE. All aboard the SWFE train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Also, not a big fan of the way my forecast high for today got jacked up 10° since yesterday morning. I'll have to check my snow stake when I get home and assess the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borderwx Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 up,up,up... the direction our temps went overnight, sitting at 40 at 5:30, strong SW wind. back to blacktop in the driveway , looks like 8" of snow compaction. our big valley is always the first to lose snow, SW orientation, wide so the winds keep the fields thin, looking like a pond hockey weekend up here.

dendrite Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 MOS is probably going to bust well low here again. Springfield at 1400ft is sitting at 46F right now with a S wind. Just a little mixing and we shoot up to 50F+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbor & sled-buddy loves the compaction he saw then. CAR went to 41f. They spent 9 hrs above freezing. PQI dropped to 21f last night. Presently 30f and drooling. Here in NYC the ground is 90% bare. Gonna be 70f today. Horrors. Vim Toot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenson Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Still holding cool here--waffling between 33 & 34. Dews are clearly up--snow was considerably more mushy this morning than it was last night when I posted. Come on front, get along lil' doggy!

MaineJayhawk Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Had some light rain I guess pass through earlier. Turned my compacted snow driveway and walkway into a nice icy sheet. A guy could have worse problems, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 CAR says, don't get your hopes up around this area for Monday. WE EXPECT THIS UPPER LOW TO PUSH THE SURFACE LOW WELL SOUTH OF MAINE AS IT RACES EASTWARD FROM THE OHIO VALLEY MONDAY. THIS MEANS THAT SNOW WILL BE THE ONLY FORM OF PRECIP AND DOWN EAST WILL BE MOST LIKELY TO RECEIVE ANY MEASURABLE SNOW. HAVE GONE WITH LIKELY POPS FOR DOWN EAST AND CHANCE POPS ELSEWHERE. THERE'S STILL A CHANCE THE LOW WILL TAKE A MORE NORTHERN TRACK IN THE GULF OF MAINE. THIS WOULD PROBABLY RESULT IN AN ADVISORY FOR DOWN EAST...BUT THIS IS NOT THE MOST PROBABLE SCENARIO RIGHT NOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 So will this Sunday/Monday event be hitting the Whites? Planning on some XC skiing in Jackson next week and hoping for some fresh snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klw Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I wouldn't mind a few fresh inches of snow to cover our dog's yellow and brown contributions to the snowpack. I did a clean up this morning but don't really relish the thought of the snowpack melting down to reveal the next layer of half frozen manure for me to bag. 37 when I left the house this morning. I didn't bother to check the low but I think we stayed above freezing and the last of the snow on the front of the barn slid last night. It left a huge pile on the walkway to the cars. A surprise shovelling of the unkind variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 mannix doesn't seem to think so. I'm not a big fan of his The PWM TV stations seem to specialize in warministas, and Kevin M. fits right in. Reached 44 yesterday and had 33 with -RA this AM, road like a bottle, driveway only slightly better (thicker packed frozen stuff beginning to soften - helped by the ash bucket.) At this distance, Mon looks like a 1-3", maybe, and that say 9 storm remains locked in place (meaning, at day 9.) At least it's looking to be cold - good for the timber harvesting that pays my salary, and keeps snow in the realm of possibility. March can't be as bad as last year, Farmington's mildest March since 1903. Since the 5.6" on 3/2/09, the following 60 total days of 3/09 and 3/10 have dumped a total of 2.5" IMBY; normal would be about 34".

tamarack Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Sun finally burned through the low clouds about 45 min ago here in AUG, so I expect the mid-40s to hop into the low 50s, though they'll need to do it in the next hr before losing too much sun angle. Wunderground had temp IMBY (actually in Mercer, next town east) at 41, was 38 an hr ago. 62 in ASH at 3 PM. Surprisingly little meltwater running across sidewalks and parking lots outside the office - probably most is just moistening the snowpack.

Roger Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Temp here has gone up 5* in the last 90 minutes, it is now 53.7*. very little damage to the snow pack, hopefully we can freshen it up a bit on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
