Looks like we've locked up tight now with 7-8" left on the ground. What was a fluffy cold snowpack is now like parking lot concrete. Haven't seen the river behind the house this full in a long time, ha. Always seems to be winter when its really flowing. I'd love it to look like this in July for tubing, haha.

Around 10" or so left here, Going to make a very good base as it gets locked up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even down here where there is much less, it's going to freeze solid with a high water content and be difficult to just wipe out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Pack intact Same . Looks like about 6.5" from yesterday storm. A bit of an estimate since I couldn't measure till today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx2fish Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Interesting drive up route 4 north of Concord from Boscowen to Andover early this afternoon. At some points the inversion was so low the ice had melted off the tops of the trees but everything was still iced up at ground level. Up around Andover it never mixed out until the CAA kicked in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Paul Gordon Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Near total wipe out of pack here... the rain and temps in low 50s F killed us. Got up to 53F (12C for those of you who can tolerated International). Went from about 8 in (20 cm) to bare ground. Wind is roaring temp at 36F/2C. At least no grinch storm ahead and no temps in the 60s F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoob40 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Managed 7" yesterday. Down to 2-3 today. That does happen to you when you reach your middle sixties I daresay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Was 35-36* when I left Hartford at about 5:30; 27.4* at the Pit now. My road (was snow/slush covered when I left) is pretty crunchy but not bad. Just walked out to the woodpile; the snow's not yet frozen enough to support my weight. I suspect it will by the time I leave tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 That snow miser eraser could not have been done with any more precision. It warmed up just long enough, just foggy enough and just windy enough to erase it. Then it dropped back below freezing. Absolutely unreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Overall solid coverage of 2-3 almost everywhere in my neighborhood with the exception of a few shaded areas under large Pine trees and fence lines. Turning rock hard now. Let's see what lasts until Christmas. Went to a kids b'day party east towards Wilbraham MA and a bit higher up earlier and it really took a hit but was not completely gone.

Well I'm glad you got what you wanted for the holiday. Take advantage of the grass for Xmas. It's certainly not what I wanted or to to look outside at. Makes me very upset.

SJonesWX Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 that was impressive in the CON area at my Dads house. got 5" yesterday, with a pack of right around a foot. the cold held strong until almost noon today. it was almost instant that the temp jumped up to almost 50, and held in there for a couple hours. it started to crash, and now it is 30.5. we went from a frozen driveway to bare pavement in no time. But the pack is still strong, like 6", although I did not measure it before I headed back south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
