Professional Lurker Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Weathered the storm at the Pit. 4" on the ground, roofs have even retained the snow. Just the same i'm eager for a refresher to replenish.Yeah, but the snow took a huge hit. Makes me sad, even if it's just for 2 days.

High was 52 Driving through Tolland on 84E it was around 54 but that's the car and probably a bit lower in elevation vs your house. Once I saw it above 50 and this CAA still had in the 40s I realized this was a major torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajisai Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 When does BOS usually start to get a snowpack going? Second year living here. Nothing outside, especially after today's torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the percentages for white christmas is around 40% for the area. early Jan is when it typically begins in BOS. No question that the torch yesterday was brutal, but honestly not all that uncommon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfishsnowman Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I hope they get crushed up north, the past few years have had to be brutal for snow enthusiasts. As much as I complain at least I was occasionally in on the goods. In a colder airmass with better high placement everyone from nj/pa and ne would have reason to rejoice. This just isn't the one for more southern folk. Enjoy up north folks and I raise a glass to many more like it for you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time climo gets colder for another 4 weeks and winter peaks at the end of January or early February. In another words, peak isn't for another 5-6 weeks. Then, we've had some of our largest storms in March/April. So, calling it over in December when things have only just begun is LOL worthy but you're welcome to think what you want.

This is what I mean about people not getting much below freezing. We've had northwest winds for a full day now, and it's still 41F here in the Bronx. Definitely not a cold airmass, and temps will creep up Thursday morning w SE winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may wait awhile. Sometimes you get big snows early but you always lose the pack before rebuilding. It just doesn't happen other than very rare years. 12/1 normal max is mid 40s at BOS. 1/1 it's mid to upper 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncforecaster89 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hi everyone! Been awhile since I've posted in this subforum, and had a storm event worthy of a prospective chase; last one was the 2/8/16 blizzard in Plymouth. Typically I don't chase a prospective event that doesn't possess blizzard potential. In this case, I'm in Lancaster, Pa. visiting my wife's family. Given the high probability of an explosively developing miller b, with such dynamics that it's favorable for possible thundersnow and 20" totals, in Northern NH, I'm considering a 500 mile drive to the North Conway area. Would reposition from there, if necessary. OTOH, my wife is strongly encouraging we drive to Oswego, NY, instead, as it's roughly half the distance, simply to play in 12" snow with our 9 year old. Still unsure which we will ultimately choose. Regardless, I'm hoping as many as possible (in this subforum) experience a significant and enjoyable event!

Okemo or Mt. Snow ar even up to Sunapee in NH. If you just want to frolic with the 9 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#NoPoles Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I finally got to watch Sully. The movie about the water landing on the Hudson Jan 15, 2009. First, Fantastic movie, and Captain Sullenberger is absolutely amazing. But Holy cow, I forgot about the snow pack that year. I had to think back, and i had just moved back from living outside Las Vegas. I remember driving to Watertown in my truck to help my friend shovel. And there was no room to park because of the huge snow banks. I had to park at a stop and shop and walk to his house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
