OSUmetstud Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Ended up with a coating...that 20 DBZ area on the radar went right over us..."heavy light" or a "light moderate" in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Was working in Marlboro, MA at the Solomon pond mall and it was snowing lightly, 10:30. N MA and SW NH; peaks are mostly snowcapped (or were yesterday). Drivng north on Route 3, you could see several inches from Pack Monadnock to Kearsarge.

ORH_wxman Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Here's a stat....todays high of 17F at ORH would have been the 2nd coldest high temp of all last winter. That shows what an ugly elephant we had...and also shows how cold this air mass is for early in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Well, now that we have nothing exciting to watch, I guess it's time to reside back in the lowly observations/banter thread. It's a mild morning in western Mass....23.0/19, up from a post-midnight low of 20.8. Edit: I just looked at my overnight history a little close, I had actually climbed up to 25.5 at 4:20a.m. I've been too focused on what might have been that I didn't see what was coming to cause that fluctuation.

moneypitmike Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 And as for Christmas Eve/Day system, the BOX AFD is already painting a disappointing outcome. AROUND THE SAT/CHRISTMAS TIME FRAME THERE IS ABOVE AVERAGE AGREEMENT AMONG THE 00Z ECMWF/GFS AND GEFS FOR A NORTHEAST COASTAL/OCEAN STORM. HOWEVER THE ANOMALOUS HIGH LATITUDE BLOCKING PATTERN APPEARS TO PERSIST AND SUPPRESSES THE STORM TRACK SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND. STAY TUNED Albany's reads a bit more optimisitcally: A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM FROM THE PLAINS WILL MOVE EASTWARD FRIDAY REACHING THE MID ATLANTIC COAST ON CHRISTMAS. THIS SYSTEM BEARS WATCHING AS IT COULD BRING SNOW TO THE REGION 22.7/19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Time for banter-- Just got in from a walk in the woods. Came across a dead mole on the trail. What's that all about? I thought they only lived beneath fields. Anyway, no bite marks on it and no footprints in the snow to suggest it had been carried there by another animal. Maybe a bird dropped it. Things to ponder on a late fall morning (don't forget folks, it is still fall.....). 21.8/18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 14.9F / 13F A couple of snowflakes falling still have the 1/2" of snow on my lawn plus a couple of dustings....

Did not realize she was a Mass resident and your neighbor. Her husband is the glass guy. Very cool. I will miss the shuttle program. My neighbor is a plumber.

Being in the woods and the mole body still there in the open perhaps a Barred Owl or Great Horned Owl dropped a snack for some reason. A balmy 29.2 currently.

ski MRG Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 17/15, a low of 10 degrees. On and off pixie dust has left a coating overnight with a few renegade flakes flying at the moment. I like the times that the models show nothing happening for days and days then, as if by magic something materializes. That's going to happen.

It's possible the mole was despondent over the storm whiffing and it simply laid down and died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
