Despite no large storms yet down this way we have a solid 4-5" of glacier pack here throughout the yard - it feels like solid ice. Wonder if much will melt with the up coming rain. How do the ice chances look for the coming system?

I doubt all of it will go. In fact probably not that much. We never warm sector in the upcoming storm. It's going to be cold 30s and rain...I suspect there may be a bit of ZR in the beginning but nothing too consequential. Higher elevations too.

of the particularly unredeeming kind, too -   ..I mean, the 18z FRH grid (NAM) actually has ALB's boundary layer trajectory back around to 350 degs aoa 36 hours ...indicative of a solid (secondary backside + ageostrophic) take over ...yet, 35 F - that's what they show for it at 50 mb off the deck - 35 F

wow. can't really draft up sore butt  regime with better panache than that right there.  It's probable that the tree tops to streets are 32 F but it's more likely that if so ...you're like 32.4, just perfectly a single quanta on the wrong side of the uncertainty principle enough not to ice - if that could have 'redeemed' the scenario at all...

Yes yes there is some smaller chance that if the NAM picked that out at all ..it could be a signal that the lowest 50 mb is accreting across the interior but not banking on that by any stretch.

pretty much a 31 on Mt Greylock to 42 at Logan type of event...

You know, I said it back then... about February 2015: that was like 300% ... take the next two years, with 0 snow, and put that in the mixer ...divide by three, we're at 100% of our seasonal norms spanning that three years. subtle irony there... But, we love our humdingers though because of the awesome spectacle and wonder... I guess the fine print on the manual says it can go both ways..

Just drove down to Boston from Central NH. Deep snowcover north of Concord NH.  Solid snowcover down to about Manchester/Nashua.  Snowcover diminishes to about a light coating in the Burlington/Woburn area.  South of Rt 128 there is nothing.  Nice to see some bare ground.  It's been since Novemeber for me....

Noticed the same driving back to Lowell today. Pack is dense and about 12-16" deep at the cabin, and only about an inch here in Lowell. This has been a great winter north of Concord. We skied 5 days last week on natural snow. Was only bad one day (Tuesday), by Wednesday it was powder/packed powder. Hopefully tonight/tomorrows precip is mostly frozen.

Nice!  Good convergence there.

lol yeah, it was a real **** show honestly, snow started way later than expected, but lasted much longer than expected too.  Dry air delayed the onset by about 3 hours, and caused a bunch of crazy p-type stuff, had a mixture of ip/zr/s all at once for like 60 to 90 minutes, once it saturated it poured nice small to medium sized dendrites with little wind through the morning into the mid afternoon. Everyone's forecas busted bigly, including mine.

Very icy this morning.  Steps driveway, secondary roads were a mess.  I took it slow on Route 2--in part because I was behind salters much of the way.  So, I didn't experience any slickness.  Car was reading 32 or lower from home until about 190.  It warmed from there.

 

It's currently 30.6* at the Pit, and I'm curious as to how my drive up to Maine at 5:00p.m. will be.

Just completed my BS in criminal justice. Shameless plug for anyone in the area who may have a lead or information on jobs in the field... or something closely related.

Started applying to places before I even officially finished.. no luck yet 

You should come to VT.  The VSP are always looking for State Troopers and cities like Burlington often have trouble finding qualified applicants.  My own town, Barre Town, is looking to fill a position as well. The problem is that entry level positions don't pay all that well.  Good luck with your search.

It appears my neighbor, 2 houses down from me, hit a patch of ice not far from us around 11 AM  New Years Day and flipped his Mercedes into a brook and went under the water, his wife passed, he survived. They just moved into the neighborhood and I did not know them other than to say hello on a walk.

Dang...what a horrible way to go, and to survive that but lose your spouse...awful

I wonder if car can get to 3 foot on the level by midday tomorrow, 27 or 28 otg there now according to climate summary

They're WS warned up there, so it might happen.  Closer to home, Farmington reached 31" right after the 24.9" they recorded on 12/29-30.  They're probably now settled to about the same as the 24" at my stake.  (2nd most for the date, though well behind 2008.)
