free_man Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 here in the edge of the honest to God God's Country , (not the liberal, nearly socialist self-proclaimed GC farther southwest in MA) we're looking for a few rain events and mild weather to launch into the first spring month known as March. Hopefully today the rain falls heavily enough to wash away some of the excessive fresh snow that has fallen in the past several days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 GYX touting a colder storm, taking plain rain out of my forecast. I don't buy it but will take it. IT NOW LOOKS LIKE LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH...WITH THE FORMATION OF A COASTAL LOW LIKELY. THE FORMATION OF A COASTAL LOW IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE IT WILL ALLOW COLDER AIR TO STAY IN PLACE LONGER...MAKING FREEZING AND FROZEN PRECIPITATION LIKELY FOR A LONGER DURATION. IN FACT...SOME MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE PRECIPITATION MAY STAY ALL SNOW ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MAINE...WITH FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET MOST LIKELY ACROSS NEW HAMPSHIRE AND SOUTHERN MAINE.

moneypitmike Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Well, I got the temp in place--down to 20.7/19. Alas, the precip is 75 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Early morning observations from Stowe... 25F at 800ft in the village 23F at 1,500ft here in the Mountain Operations Center 16F at 3,950ft near top of mtn A dusting of snow overnight, currently 75% snow and 25% sleet. You can tell its getting warm up there somewhere as these are some icy snow flakes. 1" new in the past 24 hours but thats snow that fell yesterday after the 6am weather/snow report. Here's a like to temperatures at 3,950ft... should be interesting to watch warming aloft if it happens down to that elevation. http://www.wrh.noaa....NV1&banner=gmap I also see Bolton Valley at 2,100ft is showing 21F right now, so it is plenty cold here in the 1-4K foot range for frozen or freezing. We'll certainly be sleet here at the base of the mountain, if the 3,950ft temp stays below freezing, as that water droplet has over 2,400 vertical feet to fall through before it hits here at the base, and over 3,000ft to fall before it hits town. What is it, usually 1,000ft subfreezing column to get sleet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 No chance for it to trend east like the past few storms have done? There is always the chance, but it does seem rather wet for many. Up in NNE the chance is certainly better for something more frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Bare ground will not occur at mrg land.....not even close. I don't think Pete has bare ground before April and then deeper into the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 If the Euro is right for next weekend..very possible It would take an all out torch and rain to melt all that snow. However given the snowpack now and the snow NNE will have in the next few weeks...I hope we have a slow meltdown. It could be real ugly if we get a classic wet spring cutoff.

I don't think Pete has bare ground before April and then deeper into the month. Which is a little problematic as our burn season ends on May 1.
