Allenson Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Great shots as always, Powder. Spring is coming--look at the color in that willow! Those pics got me psyched up for some skiing though. I finally have a few days off later this week--a backcountry mountain tour planned for Thursday (looks like a nice day) and maybe a lift-served day at Burke on Friday. We'll see what Mother Nature has in store for Friday. Speaking of which.... We have 2 Camps, One snow/sleet/rain and one fringe/whiff, We need the one in between.......lol Hopefully the ensembles are right and we get a solution in the middle somewhere to keep it all frozen Right--all snow would be best, all frozen next, an inch of northern fringe snow follows that and tracking up to the west? Well, shoot an arrow through my head in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Euro has a pretty active pattern for us here over the next 7-10 days with 4 potential storms starting on Friday and coming every 2 days there after hopefully most will be of the frozen variety.............

MaineJayhawk Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Could be an epic 10 days for us or an early spring........ Pretty doubtful each one remains all snow (high amounts of awesome if they are, however), but even so it's a nice active pattern in the waning weeks of winter. Beats the hell out of the boring last three weeks. At this stage of the game I'm not even very depressed if there's a rain event or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't, Down our way anyways, But the mtns look to really cash in on these, I am sure we will see a mixed bag on some, Right now, Sunadys looks to be all snow..

dendrite Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Down to 25F from a high of 28.6F. Looks like some wide temperature ranges over the next couple of days before the next system on Friday. Even with 20s all afternoon there was still quite a bit of melting around low albedo objects. Only a month away from the equinox now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 From the HPC... I'm still not sold either way and my gut has been that this will slide southward, however I thought today's EURO & UKMET might cave in a bit given the very far SE 12z GFS/NAM runs. However that has not been the case at all and now the 18z NAM shifts towards the EURO/UKMET. 12z GGEM also came north from 00z. I just really, really hope we don't go back to a St. Lawrence Valley track, haha... would much rather whiff than get rain. MIDWEST TO NEW ENG... ENERGY EJECTING FROM THE SWRN STATES IS PROGGED TO CROSS THE MS VALLEY AND SPARK AND INTENSIFYING LOW LEVEL CIRC OVER THE OH VALLEY EARLY FRI. CONFIDENCE IN THIS REGION IS GENERALLY LOW GIVEN LARGE MODEL DIFFERENCES. THE 12Z ECMWF/UKMET SOLNS ARE FAVORED WITH THIS SYSTEM...PRODUCING A TRACK SIGNIFICANTLY FARTHER NW THAN THE NAM/GFS FROM THE OH VALLEY TO WRN PA BY 12Z/FRI. THIS WOULD PLACE THE BEST THREAT FOR HVY SNOW WITHIN THE STRONG UVV FROM NRN NY TO NRN NEW ENG WHERE CRITICAL TEMPS REMAIN JUST COLD ENOUGH FOR MAINLY SNOW AS THE CIRC STRENGTHENS. LIGHTER SNOW SHOULD EXTEND WWD TO THE NORTH OF THE SFC TRACK AND NEAR THE UPPER SUPPORT FROM NRN IL TO SRN LOWER MI. SOME ICING IS ALSO POSSIBLE IN THE TRANSITION AREA THROUGH THE INTERIOR VALLEYS OF NY AND NEW ENG WHERE BL TEMPS MAY HOVER JUST BELOW FREEZING AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES.

Only a month away from the equinox now. We noticed that at the mountain, too. There was dripping off the Mountain Operations building even though it was 15 degrees out... in full sunshine this time of year it doesn't really matter what the temperature is if the under-surface is dark. I also noticed that south facing hillsides have a lot less snow than I thought they do. Already starting to notice a decent difference between south facing slopes and north facing slopes in terms of snowpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mica Vim Toot Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Sheesh, 3+ hours since last post here. Me? I got nothin'. Noo Yawk does that. I guess NNE will always be a low traffic comment region. The people who actually know something are to my south and west. That's where most of NNE's wx comes from. Read on, there's more to learn... Once whatever wx approaching us passes them it's as though it was just their models and forecast figment. The storm ceases to exist and forecasting focus shifts back to the SW for the next speedball. So, the red-headed step children of Maine are left with little to go on. Batboys gathering rosin bags while SNE/CNE sluggers primp and squat to fanboy din. We dont have the deep meteorologist talent pool to draw from. We certainly don't have the teeming weenies to keep those mets honest. (Thank you, Blizzy!) But there's justice to be had. Results. And this is that part of winter when NNE really shines. No hand-wringing about base-loss. No perturbed sniffs by distempered snow esthetes as dinge and smut soil their commute. Nope. This is base-building time for us. We may not get the foreplay- the wonderful thrill of the approaching storm and the devastatingly cosmic injustice of a near-miss or worse. We get the afterplay. Yards of it! Through April. Except last year... But this year? This year... WE TOOT! Vim Toot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
