It will often be within a few degrees of the northern radiators like HIE/BML/IZG. Also from what I could see on my drive in the sea smoke looked even more impressive this morning. I think the minimal wind allowed for some taller columns to form. Watching SFM tank each night is quickly becoming one of my favorites things to track. But yeah, the sea smoke was incredible. Columns were massive at the horizon and around the Nubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with poor snow growth, if you are getting down to around 1SM (like CON is) you're accumulating some snow. Especially when surface temps are no issue.

Will be interesting to see how much we manage to accumulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Still light snow in Concord. A decent coding developing. And actually there's an 80 percent chance of light snow on my grid this morning for basketball and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Pretty nice snow here too, visibility looks like about 3/4 mile. Just enough to make me regret sprinkling some sunflower seeds on the ground this morning for my unusually large junco flock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gobble up any spilled food on the ground from the chickens too which is a plus. Every time I look outside there's at least a dozen of them out.

powderfreak Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Heavy dusting is what we call this. Maybe a half inch of very small tiny flakes on the cars here at the ski area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I threw seed out a few weeks ago and we have dozens. Usually chickadees but not one? Weird. Meanwhile 2F with weak sun and 3 mile vis snow grain stuff.

tamarack Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 First flakelets at 2:30 in Augusta, now probably a mile or so visibility judging by the 1/3 mile view from the office. Temp was 1° at 2 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Had to go to Derby, VT today, which for those f you who are unfamiliar with VT is where I-91 ends at the Canadian border. Moderate snow started just after 12:00. Very tiny flakes but with enough sticking power to have plow trucks out on 91. I would estimate that visibility got down to 1/2 mile or so over Sheffield Heights, which is just under 1900’ and is the highest point on 91. Snow persisted all the way back to Barre. On the cold front, KMPV hit 0F at the 5:51 pm reading on 12/27 and hasn’t been above since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have plenty of chickadees here though along with the numerous blue jays and mourning doves. We usually have a male and female cardinal every winter, but I've only seen the male so far. Starting to clear out now and down to 1F. Winds are under 10mph so it'll be interesting to see how much we can drop with such a cold max to work off of. Back to back record low maxes for ORH barring some kind of jump. That hasn't happened in DJF since Jan 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
