Shaded areas am won't melt much should make it through this first wave of assault. Nice LLV chill signaled on the recent NAM runs ... sort of n-door front look. Then we'll see what happens with the continental warm bulge mid week that showing up in recent means. I wouldn't be shocked if it got 60 on one or two of those days, just as much as I would not be shocked if the boundary ended up too close ...sky contamination episodes and/or even the ridge just being sort of flatter. This time of year and month ...no way am I confident on sustaining +15 diurnal averages that long unless in 2064. Either way, I figure the land-scape to be down to patch-work granular snow globules in fields with lots of dirt and brown exposed, and lots of road side VERY attractive looking schit-slushy glaciers by this time next weekend.

The next 10 days look pretty warm overall. A couple of cutters and warm temps will make a lot of this a dream by March. Hopefully we can have a decent March.

Lava Rock Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Buddy's barn collapsed Thursday night. Spent the morning digging stuff out from the rubble. Boat's, heavy equipment, snowmobile, tractor and more. Sucks. Good thing we have a skid steer to help clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 2015 was pretty scary for that. I had a legit concern for my parents house when they went away in late February. Had to go down and get what I could off the roof. They had a neighbor who had structural damage from the weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Wow what a day. Not going to lie, I do really enjoy a nice sunny mild day this time of year. Skiing is like Colorado or California right now...full sunshine, mild temps in the 30s on the mountain but with dry high pressure the dews are low and the snow isn't turning to mush. Wet bulbs have to be running decently low right now. MVL ASOS already with a 43 degree diurnal swing today at 1pm...with several more hours of warming to go. Low of 1F and a high of 44F so far.

A couple of cutters and warm temps will make a lot of this a dream by March. Hopefully we can have a decent March. I was thinking about that March idea this morning ... Probably eyes-glaze-over sophistry for some, but, I almost think of everything that's happened prior to about January 25th as an extended autumn, ..replete with cold snaps that failed to turn into true departure patterns and/or tastes and frets and starts at snows here and there like you do in any NE autumn. "Winter" for us started three weeks ago, as this season was probably more destined to an abbreviated version of winter than many would likely admit or even perceive. But to me...this all seems more so. This warm period is our "January thaw"... March may reload for awhile, but I almost think if that's going to happen it will do so before February is over ( I have a reason for that). Then we're done, save for getting lucky in bowling season. We're doing seasonal averages in snow while being solidly above normal in temperatures ... failing any affectation of this winter in either direction, which is interesting. I really thought we got very fortunate (lucky) with some of those snows earlier on - they were needle threaded dice roller 7's in patterns that otherwise had no business doing diddly. The only 'pattern' that really supported much was the last 2 or 3 weeks - ...now a fading snow pack like an old old photo of a cherished celebration.

I'm actually above average for my snowfall but we haven't had any extended periods of cold weather to freeze the local ponds/lakes solid enough for skating or fishing. Usually we get at least a week or two each year where I see people out skating and fishing on the local ponds. Interesting if unspectacular winter.

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Beauty day, melt it. Just need a good rainstorm to eventually rinse all the gunk. After several cutters into first week of Mar, we should have a chance at a good stretch to close this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I'd like to report that this is the first time since last fall that my house has actually self-warmed during the day. Heat is kept at 69 but it's a toasty 72 in here now. Actually feels a little muggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible pics. i took this pic at a campground (Ramblewood) just west of the 1st Conn lake Weds morning. that's a picnic table. there is even more snow up in elevation east of that area, and the hills between Pittsburg and Errol had an amazing amount of snow, I would guess at least 4' pack. they picked up 12-18" up there Sunday night, another couple inches of pure fluff Mon night, and it was snowing like crazy when i left on Weds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
