Sugarloaf1989 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Low of 19F here this morning, with a high of 28F. There is 2-4" of rock solid snowcover that did not melt at all today. Currently its clear and 15F , with a forecast low of 7F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Already down to 2F. Cold dog walk. There is solid snow pack from Northampton to Brattleboro. Greenfield is pretty much guaranteed a white Christmas I would think? 8-10" here, 6-8" in town. It's actually not glacial, sort of powdery underneath the crust still. We missed the heaviest rain yesterday and staying in the 30's didn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forecasted temps haven't even been close this winter, sometimes actual temps have been 15* colder. I don't believe it'll make the 36* climb to their forecasted high today either. This is not the norm. How or why can they be so far off? MOS has been atrocious on the rad cooling nights lately. A night with strong rad conditions and it's only spitting out lows 10-15F colder than the previous afternoon highs. You know you'll get a 25-30F drop so you need to slice 10F off of MOS to even be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely doesn't feel as bad as the other day with wind, but it's still instant snotcicles when you breathe in. Didn't see any IC on my way in through Canterbury like I do sometimes on those rad cooling -25C mornings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My coop is elevated 2.5-3ft so -10F is right under the coop. Plus they love to eat hay/straw, but they won't touch their grit so I worry about impacted or sour crops. They prefer the tiny rocks in the driveway, but that is iced over now for the foreseeable future. When I went in this morning it was 0F in there and -5F out. They'll survive fine with ventilation, but my 2 leghorns have the huge combs and wattles. They're a Mediterranean breed that didn't evolve for this crap.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Just to be clear, December in NW MA has featured 15" of snow, multiple mornings below zero, and a solid pack on the ground right now with fishermen out on the lakes today.
