powderfreak Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 High of 31.8 today.. Solid layer of ice on top of the snow just locking it in. Pines sagging like Rays boobs. More snow tomorrow night. More next Tuesday with the coastal. Deep deep winter for weeks and weeks Just epic times in New England...a 2-6" snowfall in mid-January is really something special. Especially if we add nickel to dime over the next week, potentially pushing widespread snow depths of 4-12" by late January. That's just epic deep, deep winter stuff.

We've been nickled and dimed up to near normal for snowfall but its been about as spread out and anticlimactic as possible. Earlier today I was laughing at how much emotional investment I had in a storm that I expected to drop 3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier today I was laughing at how much emotional investment I had in a storm that I expected to drop 3". Our expectations and thoughts about what is "deep winter" have been lowered so much at this point that a below normal week coupled with a few relatively minor snowfalls (by New England standards) of 6" or less, is possibly being termed as "epic." Go back and read the threads from January 2011...people were "meh" about 6-8 inch events by the end of the month lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of us have had nearly foot of snow in the last storm and it was very special. It may be your climo to have feet of snow at 850 feet on the ground in mid Jan but most of us in SNE at 850 and lower it's like 4-6 inches. You can't compare apples to oranges. Then again it's Jan 16 not March 16 th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again it's Jan 16 not March 16 thMy snowpack climo really isn't that much different from a lot of interior New England...in fact a lot of spots further south and east average quite a bit more depth than here in town. We average more snowfall and probably have more days with flakes in the air than 90% of New England, but I'll be the first to admit a spot like Dendrite's is much better for snowpack. That wasn't really the point Steve...it's more that every single upcoming pattern seems to get hyped as the next greatest thing; why can't it just be called like it is... often these "epic" and deep winter stuff just turns into an average period of winter for New England climo. And there's nothing wrong with average Then again, there's nothing wrong with dreaming and the anticipation of what might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#NoPoles Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 picked up about 3 inches today...it was really coming down around 6am...but then we went over to drizzle...my temp has said 32.0 all day...hasn't budged an inch...it's quite possible i need to change the battery...but it didn't even get warm enough to melt the snow off the trees...so 32 seems like it fits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlacroix4 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Total here was 5.2. I was surprised, because at 2.5 inches, the radar looked like the entire thing was going to fall apart, and the snow really lightening. But, the radar ended up filling in and our heaviest snow actually came at 5-6pm tonight. Looks nice now, and most importantly, we have fresh snow before the cold comes.

PCPN. Can't wait for the Polar CROPA later today and dropping temps to make it cement Snowcover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainePhotog Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Another inch recorderd as of 9 pm last night, giving a snowfall total of 6.25". Nothing further overnight. At the office this morning. Wish I could be home when the sun comes up. Every branch, twig, tree, pole, etc just pasted with snow. Would make for great photography with a clear blue sky.

tamarack Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Had 4.0" powder from 0.37" LE, though it took 14 hr of continuous flaking. Yet to see +SN this season, though my total so far is a few inches above my 14-yr avg thru 1/16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Snow is down to maybe 1" OTG now. Yesterdays rain, mid 30s temps/dews did not help. Will likely be gone after this weekends "mild up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
