eyewall Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 snowpack will be OK in the mts I think- water bars and stream crossing- well, that's a different story. Outside of groomed/snowmaking- wil probably be on hold for a while. Did the ~100F water test just with ~12 oz of water here in Burlington- couldn't melt a hole through it. This snowpack is already resilient, and it hasn't had time to set up just yet. Yeah I went out to see if I could better clear my path and it is a brick already (Hard to get rid of it being how cold it was recently). There is going to be a reset and I guess we will see what happens synoptically in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Im outside with hotwater kettles trying to melt this sheet of ice on my driveway but the ground is so cold. Maybe the air temp will be cold enough later this PM so when that batch of precip out west gets up here it will be a bit of snow, just enough to stick to all this ice so I don't have to wait until later this week. If its just turning to snow at Stowe it will be close to get down here but something to watch. Deer are trying to find apples in my orchard and with the deep powder it was a lot of work but they were having some success. The frozen glacier will put an end to that for awhile.

GUSTY WINDS UP TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE AS THE COMBINATION OFWARMER TEMPERATURES AND HEAVIER RAIN ALLOW FOR THE MIX-DOWN OFMOMENTUM TO THE SURFACE. BELIEVE THERE IS NO LONGER A THREAT FORTHUNDER.BEHIND...TEMPERATURES DROPPING QUICKLY TO WHICH MODELS ARE HAVINGSOMEWHAT OF A DIFFICULT TIME CATCHING UP ON. BEST GUIDANCE IS ONTHE HRRR THOUGH ITS DELAY DOES NOT CAPTURE THE PRESENT COLDTEMPERATURES AND SNOW OVER ALBANY. IT IS LIKELY THE FORECAST DOESNOT MERIT THE OUTCOME. RATHER IT BEARS WATCHING THE SLUG OFPRECIPITATION OVERSPREADING WESTERN NEW ENGLAND OVERSPREADING THECOLDER AIR SLIDING IN UNDERNEATH. ALREADY REPORTS OF SNOW OVER THEBERKSHIRES HAS BEEN GATHERED AND AS THE SYSTEM LIFTS OUT IT ISLIKELY WE WILL SEE SOME SNOW ON THE BACKSIDE FOR WESTERN ANDCENTRAL PORTIONS OF NEW ENGLAND. WILL DO THE BEST TO MODIFY THEFORECAST TO ACCOUNT FOR TRENDS. WESTERLY FLOW IMMEDIATELY BEHINDTHE FRONT GUSTY UP TO AROUND 30 TO 40 MPH.

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 care to retract about you saying I called for wall to wall cold and snow? The pattern at times was very similar and in fact many many much more talented people than you, Jerry or I referred to the similarities. Reload times, congrats on 60,get out in the Mud and enjoy. Nah. Made it 62F. Much easier in the wallet on the heating bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least the east slope N of the pike...S ORH county and west of the spine is probably going to be majority bare (and downtown ORH is probably gioing to be at least swiss cheese...but winter hill will have full coverage I'm sure and up through Holden/Princeton/Sterling area) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cja1987 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Nah, like Will said east slopes on north and including Ray and here at work. Still snowcover. Even Weymouth is less torched than the pics out of NE CT, you should have 40-50% coverage this evening, still doing OK in immediate metro south, waiting for FROPA to start to mitigate carnage. I'm still anxiously rooting the front on, enough of a pack that I want to preserve it for this cold snap, dont give an F that it gets warmer at the end of the week, Id like to keep a halfway respectable wintry appeal and we just might if this front hurries up.

ORH_wxman Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I love how you try to melt everyone else's snow when yours gets torched. Misery loves company. Most of us down here will lose it on the weekend proabbly, but it is nice to keep mostly white ground for the upcoming cold shot. If there's one thing I hate worse than a torch in mid winter, its bitter cold with bare frozen ground. I'd prefer a torch over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I tell you--if this drops below freezing soon (i.e., before things have a chance to dry) we'll have a pretty good icing on the roads. Not a flash freeze, but maybe a 'flicker freeze'. Yards will be a white skating pond. For two days, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
