powderfreak Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 What a frigid day. Left this morning with -8F on my car, and came home at 2:45pm to my car saying 11F when I pulled in the driveway. PWS around here are ranging from 8-12F this afternoon in this area. Nothing like low-teens for afternoon highs under full sunshine. We've had some crazy cold air masses this December it seems. Odd that the lower elevation sites in northern Vermont are the coldest... shallow air mass? KFSO (250ft) had a high of 10F, while KMVL (700ft) and KEFK (750ft) look like they should have highs of 11F or so. KEFK even came in at 7F at 2:15pm which is bone-chilling for middle of the afternoon. Spots like KCDA and KMPV both over 1,000ft were several degrees warmer all afternoon.

Hoth Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 That was a sick final quarter of the Pats' game. Final minute especially. Back and forth, ups and downs, shocks and reversals. That last second interception to win the game brought back happy winter memories. Maybe this resets the deck for us karma wise going forward. Think snow. Think snow.

powderfreak Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Another morning with widespread single digits to near 0F... clouds rolled in and now we await a couple inches of light snow today. What a Pat's game last night...holy crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennebec ice caught in Augusta over the weekend, earlier than usual but not all that uncommon. The week of 15-21 is my coldest 7-day stretch of Dec, averaging 19.3. By the week of 22-28 it climbs to 21.5 (thanks to Grinches), then heads downward. In cold Decembers, this is pond freeze-up week. (In the 2015 disaster, freeze-up came in 2016.) Last 5 days' minima: 0, -10, 2, -3, about -7 this AM. Highs ranged from 16 to 24. Dec now 2.5F BN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Jackman took the top spot in our CWA with -13, though Big Black River takes the state at -17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site I used for GOES 16 is down because they still say they are repositing it. Should be about complete. Ocean, where are you getting images from?

It reached it destination 4 days ago, but officially it won't be operational until they test all the sensors (I think either this week or next). But images are back flowing to AWIPS.

WinterWolf Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 How come no post numbers anymore on the posts in the threads? This stinks. Can we bring that back??

dendrite Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 CON is 10F colder than MOS at the 15z ob. Still 24F at home. Without some sun the "warmth" today could be another fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 11 days below freezing 35F seems so warm. Warm air is just above surface up here in Central NH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 Rotting around 35F right now on my deck thermometer. Warmer up at the base of the ski area. Yesterday's snow still hasn't melted or dropped out of the trees, so we've got that going for us, ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 So its snowing in the Swiss Alps. This is some place the recorded 9 feet of snow in 3 days apparently. That's pretty crazy. The snow depth looks like it came up a good 6 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
