Organizing Low Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 cold front has swung through ottawa back below freezing now at my parents house. all the snow is gone for the most part. just the snowpiles and snowbanks on driveway edges are left. the last 12 or so hours of the torch was the worst, heavy fog and some rain showers, and then poof, it was all gone......but i guess it was just the holes coalescing into larger holes actually until it was just one big hole lol. ill be back in MTL tonight, expecting the same when i get home. impressive torch, nowhere near the level of jan 08, but still a solid torch. this time around, we only had about 6-10 inches of snowpack, but it was a several weeks old glacier. hopefully we got it out of the way early and thats it.... and an epic 3 months stretch lies ahead.

ski MRG Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 It appears the cold front is through. Winds have come around to WNW. Have lost a degree in the last hour. Heading back toward the freezing mark now. Snowpack intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 A torch by any other name is still a torch. Here are some pictures I took here in GC this morning. Woods/lower elevations FTW. Everyone else in GC ftl. Hopefully, I'll be able to caption them correctly. First, the Pit 1000' Second, looking south toward Pete from the Pit 1000' Shelburne woods, about 1/2 mile from the Pit, 750' Heath Fairgrounds 1900' Colrain 560' Shelburne 1300' Just for fun, the driveway to the house around the corner that Pete built, Shelburne 1000' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 1/2 grass/ 1/2 snowpack..just a patchwork pattern of snow vs no. half lawns covered//other half lawns green/brown grass Pretty much devastating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 1/2 grass/ 1/2 snowpack..just a patchwork pattern of snow vs no. half lawns covered//other half lawns green/brown grass Pretty much devastating Hill top FTL. Snow pack is actually doing decent here at Megan's. Def took a beating but didn't die. Probably 90% coverage. I'll have to see the damage when I get back to ORH, but it was pretty healthy yesterday when I left. I'm expecting about 75% coverage because the drifting was a lot and a lot of areas were already low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda funny to walk down into a valley though and have a nice snow cover still. MBY for the big loss though. 41.4/40 sun poking through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find it took quite a hit. probably a little more left than here since you got more from the storm..but the hills just got bent over the table by a train of men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Ryan...how did the snowpack do in WH? How much left? There was only 5-6 inches to work with going into the torch so curious.? Pretty good actually. Some bare spots (but there were from the beginning) but I'd say a solid 2-3" probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbosch Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Peaked at 50.0 here amidst the utter devastation of the snow pack. Red-winged Blackbird numbers have increased as they pick apart the newly exposed earth. We're going to hang on to a lot of snow, definitely. Most of the ground will still be covered. But...that was a brutal hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 . . . 48F. Horrible overnight, stealth torching dropped snow cover down to about 50% at about 10:00am this morning (photo from then). Since then I've dropped to about 20% coverage. Absolute doom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
