Kbosch Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 38.5 and down from a high of 39.7. The mass melting continues. Some fookin' towns and cities like Bridgeport, who hadn't touched many streets with plows even on Tuesday and Wednesday, are getting lucky the warmth and sun are doing their work for them.

CoastalWx Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 On the way back from Maine, it's funny how newscasters almost praise the fact that we'll have a few warm days and happily mention how that means "more melting snow!" I don't understand the glee in that, and never have. The storm was three days ago...you already cleared the snow, so what good is more melting. It's not like people are going back to frisbee throwing and running around the common like they're in an Abercrombie catalog. Also, who doesn't want a blanket of white on the ground? Gee, lets melt all the snow and be left with a muddy, barren, and brown wasteland. I just don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think its a small price to pay to avoid the filthy brown grass and mud that would show up without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpickett79 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I think it's more about the warmer temps really compared with the snow actually disappearing....most people i talk with want warmer temps.....yes they know they are in new england in winter but they still want warmer temps....just like some want an unreasonable amount of KU's. I do notice that the radio guy seems to be in a good mood when he talks about the melting snow.....but i think it's mostly relating to viewers yearning for warmer temperatures and as an aside that means melting snow and vice versa.

It did feel very nice today. It felt good not having 45mph winds in your face, but that's the extent I like. I'm all set with an extended torch. One or two days near 40 aren't bad at all.

I'd add several degrees (4+) to whatever g'field gets for lows for mine. My station is usually one of the warm ones in the morning. I enthusiastically take that in exchange for the reversal on daytime highs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The State of Mass. has done the same for its Conn. River Valley counties. I thought I read somewhere that the AQI's issued in the winter were usually during periods where wood stove emissions in combination with prolonged high pressure contribute to particulate issues. Lots of melting of snow here this week. Near 40 almost every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at my inlaws in Gtown today about two miles north of the sound in a wooded area, no melting at all actually. Snowpack holding strong in sw ct, beautiful winter scene!!

Yeah down here near the sound in Greenwich - quite a bit of melting this week. Had about 12-14 inches, and temps 35-40 for three straight days have really reduced the snowpack. Even Monday there was a bit of melting that allowed roads to clear up pretty fast. Now it's just a matter of public works removing whatever big piles are left in parking lots. SW CT is a concrete jungle, no wonder climo says snowpack doesn't last more than a week around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
