CoastalWx Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The euro and GFS have some timing differences, but at least they hint at something. EC ensembles, not so much. Unfortunately, the EWALL site isn't working so I can't see what members are going for, but the mean had the signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsnowstorm628 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 GFS looks 'eh' even up this way for Thursday/Friday. Maybe 2-4" of blah snow. I know some of you guys would kill for 2-4" but man, getting nickeled and dimed is not fun. Better than nothing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 You'll be fine. have you been talking to my psychotherapist? doesn't look like any big storm coming but I guess up here we can hold on and gather up some small events. We just need on 10+ to make it real winter up here. This week helped but we still aren't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Not much damage here yet... 34 and ovc. I'd really be pretty interested in the energy in the gulf finally coming up around Saturday. The GFS is suppressed as one would expect...but I'm thinking the Euro might come in pretty exciting after 1 PM today. Thursday is minor, but could be a small snow and or snow/sleet event from here to Dendrite, but that main energy is waiting and Thursday sets up the colder air. I will have nothing but piles left. Most of the damage will be done later today and tonight with screaming southerlies, high dews and rain. I fully expect to have nothing left by tomorrow morning. The day tomorrow won't be that warm here 40ish...it's tonite that I am dreading. I would think all of CT loses their snowcover up to ORH and pesp points NW will keep it. Hopefully the next 5-7 days can replenish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 fact is most of us thought the pattern would reload after 1/22 and we had to make hay in the interim. Although not perfect for everyone a lot of snow fell, Powderfreak got buried once, we got buried once and everyone in between got some snow. Big break in the miserable winter. Now the torch isn't really a torch, more like a warm interlude. I don't think this week looks very promising...maybe the 2nd system. But I also don't think the week following looks bad, I think we get some shots with the up/down pattern in early febuary and if we get lucky we could swing another double digit event. Agree with Scott and Ray this weekend looks like the best shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 took the drive up from VT through montreal and over to ottawa yesterday morning. about 3 inches on the ground in northern VT along the champlain valley and that amount steadily increased as i headed northward on I-89 to about 4-6 inches in MTL city. then as i headed westward from downtown MTL along the 417 highway all the way to east ottawa (1.5 hour drive), there was gradually increasing amounts, i'd say a peak average of 12-18 (with higher drifts) just east of ottawa and through casselaman region and then by the time i got into ottawa city and over to where my parents live in S ottawa, about 8-14 inches on the ground depending where you look.... with drifted snowpack in the usual spots up to the 2 foot range as i walk around here in S ottawa. overall its a dense (multiple compressive events), fresh-looking snowpack with typical piling, very january-esque scene. the pack is not overly impressive in depth, but pretty solid and steady (since december 23) considering the type of winter being had. This describes the scene in Stowe, perfectly. Not overly impressive but its been steady ground cover since a week before Xmas. 8-14" also describes it nicely depending on where in the village you are or how close to the mountain you are. This is around here at 800ft... http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=54655 Given the winter we've had, I'll take it as it does look like January and IIRC, at this point last year we had about the same amount on the ground, lol.

Yeah it worked out pretty well there from us getting that dump before MLK weekend, and then another 6" surprise late last week, followed by a couple SNE snow events. And as Ginx mentioned in the snow-totals-to-date thread, you guys down along the south coast probably now have about the same amount of snow on the ground (a foot or so).

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yea, not a bad week considering I was the screw hole of NE and still managed 9" on the week....though never had a pack of greater than 4" or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I had like 4" cumulative last week....to be wiped out today/tonight and left with the 4 or 5 inches of concrete from pre-existing stuff most likely. It was a wintry week and I had enough for snow shoeing so be it...but a fail in the snow department. Yea, not a bad week considering I was the screw hole of NE and still managed 9" on the week....though never had a pack of greater than 4" or so.

weathafella Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 No need worrying. Yes it's going to kill most people's snow the next few days in the 3 SNE states. Big deal. This is not a snowpack year. Just get some more from the sky and I'll be content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a snowpack year. Just get some more from the sky and I'll be content. That's all, just enjoy it as it comes. To me that's all that matters anyway the kids appreciate 3-4 good snows a winter vs straight snowpack. Every single body in this hood was out in the snow both days this weekend. In a week if it snows again will be the same. If we had snow on the ground every day for a month by the 2nd week nobody would care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 That block near Baffin Bay is what might try to force it south, but it's nothing too exciting....my guess is that it's a bigger ice threat for the far interior until we get a better consensus one way or another.

CT Rain Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'm going to be north of EEN for the weekend near sunapee at a friends place. Awesome house in the hills. Hoping for something good up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Euro is a graze with this storm, but again...ugly airmass on the weekend. It also has some follow up energy coming down the PIke which gives us some shsn on Sunday. It also tries to form a low well offshore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
