Paleocene Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I'm impressed with how my snowpack is holding on here. But it's nice to have some days with real solar panel production. Gotta make up for some steep january usage on the ole heat pump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 57 for a high. Full sun exposed surfaces are wrecked. Anything protected from the sun is still full coverage of 3-4". That top layer of sleet proved beneficial with respect to helping with snow retention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickinBaltimore Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Today just felt nice. Definitely helped melting a lot of the snow pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That had to have been a legendary winter. I was at BWI and it looked patchy even though my family’s area still has very solid coverage. So I think 12z tomorrow will report a trace. But it was a very memorable run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GramaxRefugee Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Temps 22-54 today, with sun. Significant range. Did some shoveling , but ice on the north side remains impenetrable even though meltwater ponded on top. Have been using old rubber mats and wood ash to keep walking paths safe. Not much longer I guess . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up in central NJ, 60-61 was unbelievable. Three major snowstorms of a foot plus, The first, starting on a Saturday night (maybe Dec 9th) and ending Sunday closed schools for the whole week. The other two storms were in Jan and early Feb. Afterwards, I wondered why we did not get storms like that every year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgottwald Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Waiting for the rain, so the snowcrete mountains will start eroding. Strange to realize it hasn't rained here since January 17! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I've only recorded 4 precipitation events in the past 50 days, and two of them combine for less than 0.10". We effectively have the big storm and the Jan 10/11 rain as the only notable events this year so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first(?) March storm was my first snow memory. My mother walked to our elementary school at the end of the block to take me home. Do not remember rest of March.

We have had some timely blocking episodes in recent winters, but not anything I would consider sustained. A transient -NAO doesnt mean there is an atmospheric block. Maybe 2009-10 was a unicorn and we never see that again, but I hope that's not the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Radar looks better then my forecast of .50. I'd estimate I've already gotten .20 and radar is stacked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Euro was always kinda light with precip up here and that seems to be the case so far. 0.5” is gonna be a real stretch, but still a welcome soaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
