Is we back? February discussion thread

[WxWatcher007]

Note how there’s a record that goes all the way back to 1639. For such an incredibly long period of record it’s almost unbelievable how 36 and 38 just obliterate everything else.

Honestly…I’m not exaggerating…we’ve lost nothing here! The snow is still powdery on top lol.  As crazy as that sounds…and I admit it, but that’s the truth.  It’s 5 egress here now. Crazy cold. 

Just looking at it you wouldn't think so.

My depth measuring area is +/- 500 sq ft. Mix of sun and shade. 

After the initial settling, here's my (GYX) average depth readings from 12z each day.

Tuesday - 14"

Wednesday - 13"

Thursday- 12"

Friday - 11"

I suspect tomorrow we'll be at 10". 

Not implying we'll lose an inch every day (assuming similar conditions), but to say there's no loss in depth is incorrect.  Check your local nws climate site.

The more you have, the more is lost to settling/sublimation.

That's because you have fluff. Mine is meat.  18 16 16 16 16 16. NWS depth BDL 16 15 15 15 15 15

So there's that

I look at the euro AI model twice a day now. Looks like the idea of a clipper moving down across New England at a very sharp angle and developing way offshore and hooking into Maritime Canada continues. Would be nice if that blew up closer to shore, but it looks like we get some precipitation. Then the 14th and 15th look interesting with what appears to be a southwest flow event that then re-develops in the mid Atlantic and up just along the southern New England coast line. So seems that there is some potential over the next two weeks.

That's about as boring a two weeks as you will find at peak climo.

Yes. Clouds here and another light dusting of snow. That seems to have kept our lows from really bottoming out.

-1f. Will be a brisk ride on the trails today

That clipper on Friday is one to watch

We are not getting any rafiational cooling (not complaining about that), light upslope snizzle all night

Agreed.  The atmosphere needs some time to reorganize I guess.  

[MJO812]

We need snow

[Damage In Tolland]

There’s 2-3 clippers between Wed night and Sunday night. One of those will drop snow 

[VivaManchVegas]

We are only 2 miles away from a 10 degree bump.  Elevation here is 300.  Its 800 in Mont Vernon.

Best chance is next weekend. Anything before that looks tough. 

[ORH_wxman]

There’s some moderate interest in the ensembles redeveloping the clipper next weekend into a miller B.

The cold doesn’t give a shit about latitude this year.

It’s been frickin cold this winter.

Feel that even Bangah Maine’s climate is warmer against what I’ve been experiencing. Closer to Montreal lately…Unreal.

I used to think it was a mistake when I would see 1936 listed as peak water height on a lot of the rivers around here. I just assumed they meant 1938 hurricane. Then I started looking into it and found a banged up copy of that same book that you posted.

There are some actual film archives of the ice flows taking out bridges on the CT River and tributaries.  I think the Montague historical society has the one I saw.

Yeah car was covered this morning in the very small flake Arctic upslope stuff this morning… where it feels like the flakes are forming like 500 feet overhead.

Yeah, sucks for the heating bills. If we’re going to have it be so cold, need some snow.

[Typhoon Tip]

Well, this is just fine and dandy

It was 10 below zero this morning here… presently 4

And the power blinks out. 

This house cannot be heated without electricity.  Electricity is needed to run the mini split/heat compressor system. Thankfully, it’s very small power usage… Unfortunately, it is not a zero power usage.

So the temperature is already dropped easily 10° here in this first hour of this  just got a text from the neighbors that apparently this is town wide; so the entire town of Ayer Massachusetts is in the dark on one of the if not the coldest mornings of the winter. 

I think, after careful consideration, I’ve come to the conclusion that NGRID’s a piece of shit.  This is like the fourth time I’ve awoken in the morning to find my alarm clock light blinking… Like who uses an alarm clock anymore, right ha ha ha, but anyway that signifies that the power has gone out overnight.  For whatever random reason it’s not really conveyed very well anyway and I’m sure if it’s not very honest anyway.  They sent you a text message, “we are aware of your outage at the given address and we’re working to resolve the matter as quickly as possible… “. In the end, I just see that as a bunch of PR bullshit   you cannot have power going out save for very rare circumstances and definitely not when it’s 5° up or down from zero Fahrenheit outside.  

so I guess I’ll set the faucets to drip and wait it out and should my pipes somehow freeze or damage occurred to this house ngrids going to get a nice fat lawsuit. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

I’m guessing a car hit a pole or something.  Our son’s place is affected by the same outage.  Expected restoration time is 11AM
