Ginx snewx Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Yeah, it's certainly not 1000' here, but we still got a nice early winter snowfall. You're right how it's like a totally different world sometimes between the hill towns and river valley! It's not complicated... more is better. yeah I would say 325 around here. Just stunning views today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Roughly an inch and a quarter in the center of Belchertown. Really nice looking snow. Feels like true winter now. Some call it deep winter BTW..Tell Joe hi over at MRG's board..He's mad at me and holds a grudge. Wish him Happy holidays from me to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Well I did give props to James a few pages back...I always give props when they are due. I appreciate the nice compliments..but I don't need a backpat....I don't role like that. I just tell it how it looks to me and if I'm right, then great. If not, that's ok as well. This is the nature of the business. This board is a great learning tool and you bet your azz that the combo of others like Ryan, Will, Phil, Tip etc are impossible to beat. Those guys are fantastic mets and I love being a part and talking weather with all of them. Even you enthusiasts. You guys make it fun as well...although a couple of people sometimes make my hair turn a premature grey. its all good. a ton of mets in this subforum which is great to see. lots of different viewpoints. i do bust chops and I'm quite sarcastic. maybe i need to do a better job of getting that across in writing as just poking fun, nothing personal behind it.

CT Rain Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Pulled off 0.19" liquid and 2.8" of snow. About 15:1 as I thought we'd see - virtually all dendrites with a little bit of, surprisingly, graupel this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 1-3 or 2-4 worked out great.

CT Rain Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I was gonna say this earlier...you just reminded me...I had graupel on the way into work. BTW, how tall is your grass! I've never seen such a difference between grass and snowboard. It's really not that tall - I was surprised to. I was walking out to my snowboard and was like how the F did this snow get so deep. I think the fact that we stayed >32F during the event and also managed to be all dendrites the snow was "sticky" but also fluffy (air pockets and stuff) so you were able to get some crazy weenie measurements on the grass. Only 0.19" liquid so it didn't really weight much. The grass doesn't make nearly the difference when you have more snow and it essentially flattens the grass under the weight.

Barnsteader Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 1.0 yesterday, and .6 today. Nice icy base with yesterday evenings Z rain and the .6 on top. 1.2 SOG. Maybe Im getting ahead here, but its been yrs since Ive seen lakes and ponds frozen this early. Not quite Dec 1989, but still impressive. Lets keep this going.

CT Rain Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I mow to bare minimum so no blades stick out with a two inch snow, just a preference of mine. Yeah I'm actually curious now how long the blades are - when the snow melts I'll check. The grass on my front lawn is not very impressive so I doubt it's too high.
