Yukon Cornelius Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 34f, light coating on the ground with snow falling at a decent clip. We'll see if it'll be enough band-aid up the pack (or lack there of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cja1987 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Wow. Snow hanging on here near home. Definitely doing better than expected in these parts, I mean it sucks but it could be far worse. I'm not always around here in the winter but I'm racking my brain trying to think of another near 60F torch around here where the S Shore has not obliterated nearly all snow pack including piles and I'm coming up short. Especially considering the dry nature of the snowpack prior to yesterday. I went to sleep last night expecting to wake up to a few weak piles left here and there instead I woke up at 9a to full coverage and watched it dwindle to about 50% thereafter with plenty of piles.

Feb 2011...back to back 60F at BOS...but granted there was like 15-20" of high water content snow still around BOS before that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cja1987 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Not to rain on your parade, it also seems to be a two-step drop. An initial that brings it down to the low 40's and then a second that brings it down below freezing. I posted an earlier version of this, but here's the latest of what happened here at the Pit. An initial drop from 11:30 to noon, and then the secondary drop from 1:00 to now. Gusts to 25mph so far. You did pretty well overall! Yes, definitely a 2 step drop but it seems even step 1 progressed painfully slow after making a pretty steady march through NY and Western MA. "A watched pot never boils" though, haha. Finally creeping into the upper 40s in Randolph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of bare patches and then streets fully covered. Funky how that works, but no surprise considering the blowing and drifting.

CapturedNature Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I flipped to snow at 42-43* here--I was shocked! I'm stuck in my office but I suspect that it was in the 40s here in downtown Springfield when it flipped. Back home it appeared to drop the temp, even below freezing at 1200'. Ground white again! I can only hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSnowman Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Just so everyone knows - The snow is 95% GONE. No Base. Back to CLEANING Trails at CN Mountain vs. Sledding on them. This winter Ab-so-lutely Sucks. I get 6" when everyone else gets 10" - 20" East of me and everyone in Adjacent towns gets 7" - 9". This after a second RI Screw zone storm where I got 2.5" and everyone else got 4" - 6". This is just above 2006-2007 and only 2 steps above 2011-2012. No snow chances the next 300 Hours.

Professional Lurker Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Yeah, the rain and semi-torch sucked today, but all in all it was a pretty cool 24 hours weather wise. Freezing rain, 2 hour school delay, fast temp rise, then crash with snow on the back end. Sun is out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Dropped from 40 to 32.8 in about 10 mins Union went below 32 so I'm wondering if anything stuck up there...sounds like Belchertown to the north did so it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional Lurker Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Of course, the snowpack will turn to glacier after tonight. Bodes well for the ski areas, provide a solid base for the woods... Now we just need some fresh pow on top... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
