When the pattern got wet again in February 1981....we absolutely furnaced and most of the precip was rain. 1/4/81 was the last below 0F max at CON.

ORH hit 0F that day...last day that was 0F or colder for a high. Jan 1994 and last January had a 1F high. 2004 had a couple 2F highs I think.

Their 2 coldest highs on record tied and occurred on the same date (-16F in 1917 and 1933). I dunno why, but if that happened at CON I feel like it would fill me with rage. CON had a -11F in 1933 and -5F on the same date in 1917, but at least there's some distance between the 2 even though those are #1 and #2 all-time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 I remember being on the lift at Nashoba Valley the day after a big March dump in 1976. It was a warm day and drippety drippety with Steely Dan’s Katy Lied playing over the loud speakers. Seemed like every run I was hearing “bad sneakers and a pina colada my friend stompin’ down the avenue by radio city..” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 GFS cooled a couple ticks for Sunday...that would probably be flipping to heavy wet snow over the interior before ending.

But EPO builds. Who knows though...esp WRT NAO. Those blocks can be really nasty to forecast the timing of. I bet PNA replaces NAO...if not, then we thaw.

Then right after the rainstorm, highs were in the teens. The season eventually ended up pretty good...esp for eastern areas, but the frigid and relatively snowless conditions early on would be a hoot on here. We kind of got a preview of that in 2010-2011....we had cold and then a few cutters mixed in early on and there were some people melting down. But they whined their way to a 3 foot snowpack a month and a half later. I almost had 100"...give me that seaaon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 89-90 was one of my analogs....I think the NAO will flip back like that for a time once the PV recovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this doesn’t turn into that storm a few years ago when it was 0.5C too warm and you just lost it on here and went ballistic.

They are Selling any potential Yeah I mean, there's no reason to buy the potential right now....it's worth keeping an eye on over monads and ORH hills and maybe up toward dendrite and interior southern Maine....but a lot needs to happen for it to work out. Model guidance has subtly been shaving the temps the past 2-3 runs....really slowly, but it's ticked slightly colder. If that continues up until go-time, then it could get pretty interesting. The problem is that it could easily just stop trending that way. The Oct 18, 2009 event actually did this though...looked like rain and then it ticked colder the final 24-36 hours just enough to get ORH hills into the game, and then during the actual storm, there was the Foxborough omega-bomb surprise that wasn't predicted. I'd feel a lot better about it if we had another 1C right now in our pocket....it's a tough task without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... not to try to convince anyone but as Will mentioned above this has ticked cooler and headed back to rapid deepening. The height falls are again impressive. I would not at all be surprised with a 3 to 6 band from the Berks Orh Hills Monads to Jeffafafa in Maine.

tamarack Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 2 hours ago, STILL N OF PIKE said: Just to touch quickly on a storm I got screwed on Royally was 93 Superstorm what a tough one to swallow in SE Mass when Atlanta is left w more snow than you after a change to heavy rain in evening and 3” of cement that I told my neighbor on vacation I would shovel . Literally 3” that required a axe. Max depth was about 11 Prior to the rains. If only I had a car back then . That storm was somewhat of a disappointment at my (then) Gardiner home. Forecast from the WSO (then at PWM) was "1 to 3 feet with life-threatening conditions." We had 10.3" of6:1 snow (no IP/ZR) with upper teens - crummy dendrites plus a bit of riming. I've yet to find a report from another Maine site that shows a storm total as low as mine. Not all was negative; that 10" brought the pack to 31", the only time in my 13 winters there that the depth reached the 30s. 1/4/81 was the last below 0F max at CON. Max at CAR was -16, their coldest on record. We'd been away that weekend, and when we returned to our Ft. Kent home at 8 PM that Sunday it was -25 with moderate snow, coldest I've seen accumulating SN (though it was less than 1".) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
