HoarfrostHubb Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I prob got a foot or so in that 2002 storm. It came at a tough time for travel. We had Christmas here as usual. I was trying to send some of the people home They thought it would abate. Nope somewhere I have a 8mm video that shows the snow ripping past our kitchen door. It was the storm and winter that convinced us to build our garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Xmas eve snows in SNE that I can recall in the past 3 decades is SE MA/RI in 1998...was a clean whiff in ORH...think BOS may have gotten a little. The Cape jackpotted with about 8-10" I think I pulled a dusting in that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Changes on EPS today..Building ridging in Alaska after day 10..Would get the cold back into the states by end of year/early 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same deal though...can't rule out cutters and all that. Hopefully we get some where the high stays in a good spot. I'd also like to build a PNA ridge hopefully at some point in January...January is probably our most hostile month in dealing with a -PNA in New England...usually we can actually do fine with a -PNA, but if there's one month it becomes more annoying, it's January.

Does all the fertilizer you put down in the summer melt your snow faster than the rest of your neighborhood? It looks like it melted with precision around your property line.

powderfreak Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Just seeing the Euro looked pretty good for Thursday for the northern half of New England. Gets better snow into CNE than its previous run. Has 1" running from like MPM-Hippy area up through CON...dusting getting close to ORH. 2-4" from the Adirondacks eastward through here and over to Dryslot.

This is where I hate the snow algorithms on models...prob gives a dusting to ORH because the sfc temp spikes to like 36-37F on the model...classic crap output in the marginal atmosphere. It reminds me of when the Euro snow output was like 2-4" in the 2013 firehose storm. That said, I wouldn't predict more than a few stray flakes anyway because the Euro is the most bullish to begin with that far south. It'll prob end up slightly north.

If I could give him some from my yard I would. It feels like deep winter here. Looks like a 1" refresher Thu morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Meh..not upset anymore. Just more frustrating since we had so much Saturday. You'd think getting 6.5 .. 7 days out would be able to save some. Like I said.. it is what it is. Life goes on. Hopefully some threat pans out after the New Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWolf Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 If we didn't get the warm sector and rain on Sunday...we'd all be having a white holiday!! I do have a white ground for the most part, but the next few days above freezing should take that away easily. Doesn't bother me much...if we make up for it going forward, it will all be good in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they will let you come over to make a few snowballs. Seems like you picked the wrong side of the street to live on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OO UTC indices show the PNA going positive. Also a possible negative NAO as well. The GEFS the last four runs have been showing blocking developing towards Greenland. It would be nice if we can get both a EPO ridge and a Atlantic blocking ridge as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the pattern looked really nice on the 18z GFS after the brief milder period centered around Christmas, which is blunted anyway by the strong confluence. But it brings the PV really far south and looks to pop a bit of a PNA. A lot of guidance shows a rising PNA and falling EPO by New Year's, which would lend creedence to DT's cold January idea.

CT Valley Snowman Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 What exactly is the definition of a White Christmas anyways. I know there are probability maps out there, I remember seeing them as a kid on TWC. Is it depth greater than 1" or just covering the ground? , does mood flakes count? Just curious if it was a quantifiable thing or more subjective in nature . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 The Christmas eve deal looks pretty mild in the lower levels across SNE. 925 0C on euro is way up by Concord NH. Something to watch I suppose, but antecedent airmass and srly winds aren't helping. Tomorrow could feature some -SN across nrn MA and into ORH..obviously NNE too.
