Pack was obliterated today around here. I went from about 6 inches of solid cover in the back yard this morning when I woke up down to basically a couple of small piles in the corner now.  

Same here, the fog was a tell this would go quick.

I think northern ORH county and the Berkshires could see some slight accretion tomorrow, but I think its just a flash freeze potentially accompanied by frz drizzle briefly for rest us.

Fire hose through SE MA, should be some impressive rain totals there. Only around 1/2” on the day around here, it’s been pretty light and spotty for the most part.

Not the kind of firehose we want in January. Absolutely pouring all evening.

Excited to hear that.  After a benign day of not much rain and a little colder than expected, were getting hammered in East Montpelier with liquid precip.  Roll that cold air down the Winooski Valley.

I can't believe 1P1 never mixed out. Still 36F up there in the crop circle.

Ewww....that site must be down in a crater. This was about as good as you could get for mixing out....I suppose some sun would havebeen more optimal, but how often do we get that on the east side of a cutter in January.

thanks buddy

 

impressed by your post earlier that you had maintained a fair amount of snowcover, everything was nuked here but those S winds came right up the CPV just like the N winds now i suppose....

It pretty much is. I've been down to it a few times. Back a handful of years ago you had to walk through cornfields to get to it. They plowed a wide circle around the AWOS, but sometimes the maintenance wasn't performed regularly and you'd end up with grass 1-2ft tall around it. It's right along the Baker River.

[backedgeapproaching]

1.5"+ and still coming down. Full coverage and only lost about 3-4 inches even though i started with only 6-8" today because of some weird micro climate CAD that I've never seen here in the eastern part of the valley. Just strange as same elevation a few miles away  close to 60F for most of the day.

Yeah I was kind of surprised how much was still around when I was getting close to home...but we'll be done by tomorrow morning. There were already patches of grass starting to open up....so another 8-10 hours off 55F dewpoints will take care of the rest....maybe some patches left where the drifts blew up and of course the piles.

When it gets this waterlogged, might as well go clean slate.

I saw that driving around Manchester earlier!!! Temps were all over the place. Low 40s down low and high 50s up high.
