CoastalWx Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I think it will be key if there is period of CAD north of the pike on Sunday...even if it is like a 35F rain. That would halt the melting quite a bit. If it stays 54/54 with fog/rain, then its gone. But this stuff is currently bulletproof...so it will have a shot if the worst of it on Sunday can be avoided for all but a few hours. 47/29 softens it up and the constant dripping is audible, but its a pretty slow melt at those dewpoints. Its the 54/54 stuff that is just a total snow eater. I may be wrong, but I think they'll wedge in nicely here. It may end up a slushy couple of inches left, but I think it survives. Of course all bets are off if the front does not make it this far south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Snow 1717 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 agree, historic warmth on the way. All we need is JB and Margusity on board. Last week JB was calling for historic cold during Christmas week for most of the US........ I'd feel a lot better about things if DT was calling for 4 weeks of above normal temps.

snowman21 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Hey for those that like it warm, not only do you get a weekend reprieve from the cold, but Sunday begins the slow climb towards spring as the days begin to lengthen.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I can't find anyone outside of the folks on this board that are crying over losing the snowcover. Everyone I work with could care less if all the snow melts away. I'd like to have snow on Christmas, but that not the norm here anyway 50% out of the time. I saw two guys ice fishing out on Upper Bolton Lake this morning on the way to work, good way to get out and enjoy some early season ice before it's gone.

I know plenty of folks who want snow otg for Xmas I like snow on Xmas obviously like most of us, but I almost think the "after thaw" left over frozen crusty snow is just as bad as no snow. Its pretty close at least...nothing like dirty snow banks, crusty snow, melted out under the evergreens, ice pack in the yard with grass showing in spots, etc. I know it counts as a white Xmas, but its not the same as fluffy, dry un-aborted snow on Christmas Day.

I know plenty of folks who want snow otg for Xmas I hear you, I'm not thrilled to lose it especially right before Christmas and after commuting through the storms and shoveling it, but it's not a real reason to get upset IMO. I'm looking forward to getting out with my son for some skiing next friday, but we'll probably be skiing on mostly manmade snow. Right or wrong I consider snowcover this close to Christmas enough to make me happy and I'll enjoy it down to the last melting snowpile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I doubt the ice is going to completely melt There's about 4" of ice and the lake is at 740', so a bit of ice will remain, but it will be toast for ice fishing purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy4Confluence Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Even now, the terror is welling up inside you. Drove down to Long Island with the wife and what little snow they had was destroyed as it reached 57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
