Professional Lurker Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Eric Radarman and Lars were there today tooNice! I was with my kids enjoying one of our few non-berkshire east ski adventures. They would have wondered who these strange guys were... awkward.Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbenedet Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Something to note: all models were too robust with the WAA in southeast NH. The rain/snow line was confined to south of rt 4 and east of rt 125. The majority of rockingham and strafford county stayed all snow. Eyeballing it I'd say the model consensus was off by at least 25 miles here. Fortunately, for forecasters who didn't expect this, the error didn't amount to a significant difference in overall accums due to very poor ratios.

40/70 Benchmark Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Nothing left on the drive home from work in Lynn (was when I arrived this am); began to get a bit patchy on the se side of Wilmington, which really built up once I hit the center. Pretty good coverage left here near the Billerica line...about an inch left of the 2.5" that fell. 33.9/32 off a high of 38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazey Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Well I wasn't yelling and screaming...lol. I was frustrated with models. Who wasn't. I mean some of the good ones...euro cough* were terrible with this storm. Maybe a little vent might help change luck. Look at this morning with the ensembles. People were lining up for the walk up the Tobin. Then suddenly 12z comes out and its go time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think most of it is localized as far as terrible with this storm. I think the EURO did fantastic with it for this neck of the woods...for like 6-8 straight runs it had 0.3-0.5" QPF as snow for the northern half of VT and that's pretty much exactly what happened. I think the GGEM was the worst (just very inconsistent) and GFS was pretty darn good too. NAM too robust. But the two main global models GFS and EURO crushed it in NNE from what I could see.

Its not a forgone conclusion but i probably will. Ocean effect/weak 700mb def/trough on the back end saves me because the waa thump weakens by this longitude.

Hazey Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I got real lucky with this system. A track tucked into the gulf of Maine and crossing almost over my head would normally never produce this kinda snow. It was basically a front end thump and then to drizzle and dryslot.

Still in Quincy, but I'd be shocked if it wasn't at least 2"...there was already still some leftover snow OTG from the previous event and this one had a bit over 3" with glaze this morning and the high was 38...so there wasn't much juice there to melt it.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 After sublimation and melting today ( high of 35F) we still have solid 4.5". That should go glacial tonight with the freezing fog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call it a powder day, more like a crud and chop day. I owe you a thanks because when you posted the $12 deal that directly lead to us being there today... We drove up 116 to 112 and can attest to the 6-7" reports in the higher parts of GC. I'd say 7-8" at the mountain. (4" IMBY) I thought the skiing was fantastic. It's a pleasure to have that kind of snow on the base. Not sure there was a noisy turn the entire day, nothing groomed, small bumps everywhere by afternoon. Seemed like 3/4ths of the trails were open and good edge to edge. Big crowd in the parking lot but the mountain spread them out very well with zero liftlines. Should ski well the next few days as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Valley Snowman Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Maintained pretty solid coverage in the back yard, definitely more patches of green in the front. It was a more classic climo drive driving on 91 to and from HVN today, nothing south of HFD except up on the hill in Meriden on the way down, and very patchy coverage up until near BDL on the way home where things started to fill in some if you looked in the woods and shaded areas off the highway with the most snow right on my street which is more of a side street off of Elm St 220 in Enfield. Still peanuts compared to folks up north but at least something is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plows were out scraping the inch off of the roads. However it has melted to nothing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 7.0" of powder at temps 15-low 20s, LE 0.52" for a 13.5-to-one ratio, pretty good for flakes 1/4" and smaller. Lack of wind helped. Most snow I've had disappear (as in brown ground, not just reduced pack) in December here is 5", in 2000, so I don't see my yard being Grinched back to grass this year. (And if it did happen, I'd certainly take a 2000-01 reprise.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
