I can’t pass judgment on anyone because I have over 40” of snow this year but the melts have been many. Yeah I don’t remember this bad of a division in other poor winters for whatever reason. 11-12 and 15-16 didn’t have this type of total forum melt down. Maybe expectations are just higher?

Maybe expectations are just higher? 11/12 was easy to stomach, nothing to track really and LR guidance never showed good/great potential like this season IIRC, multiple headfakes past two months. 15/16 super nino, most knew it would be tough sledding from the get go. Regardless, bad stretches are a necessary evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My expectations after moving here 3 years ago were for much better winters with a lot more snow then where I grew up. Probably why this winter has been a big disappointment with the climo difference. I'd say for anybody south of a line from ALB-ORH-PSM, this winter has been crap relative to what we're all used to. The lack of cold has been amazing and of course with that comes a lack of snow, the thing we all (99% of us at least) truly crave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple snows away from respectable and near avg. That line is a sharp line with regards to seasonal snow amounts. Near and NW of that line hasn't been a "crap winter" due to much more snow then compared to places like BOS/PVD/OWD. There will be and has been noticeable differences wrt seasonal snow amounts south to north of that line. Differences to the point of it being categorized as a bad winter and a decent/okay winter in a very short distance IMO. For most south of the Pike, it's been a garbage winter with little snow and cold. Reminds me of a winter 2001-2002. One decent areawide snowstorm (during the tuck rule game I believe) and lots of warmth. Correct me if I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Only got to down to 1 here. Just might go the entire winter without a below zero reading. Meanwhile, I noticed some -35's in NNH & NME. I have more tapping to do today but will wait a bit for things to warm up a bit. Tapping in the cold risks splitting the tree and I don't want that!

Heard some tree popping last evening as I walked the dog with temp -13, with one especially loud pop from a spot with maple and ash, undoubtedly from one of the maples. Had mid -20s this morning, about 99% chance it's the coldest morning of the winter. (And close to the median for bottom of winter here.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianW Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Looking forward to another sunny day. Going to be one of the worst months for solar production. Yesterday was the first decent sunny day this month. Solar panels run way more efficient on cold clear days. Heat significantly lowers efficiency.

One year I tapped when it was pretty cold (single digits/teens) and I don't know if I was putting the taps in too hard or the fact that I put the tap in while it was cold and I had a few trees develop vertical cracks. Just want to avoid that again! We might have a shot next weekend with that cold shot for a colder reading but you might be right...this morning might have been our coldest, that's for sure.

Last month was my highest producing January in the 6 years I've had the panels on my roof. This will easily be the lowest February. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
