Analog96 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 You are the king of surly in most of these threads. It is not an endearing quality. I think that is what William and a few others meant. I only try to stop the trolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 So I've made it through the two day torch with about 4-8" of snow remaining on the ground. Should freeze up nicely tonight, and hopefully some fresh powder on the way for later this week. Pattern certainly will become favorable once again for something of significance w/ a large west based blocking feature retrograding into N-C Canada.

FPizz Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 About 5 raindrops here today. Still have 1-3" of snow on the ground, but under tree's grass spots opened up. 46.6 today, down to 34.7 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Current snow depth map. East of the MS river, we're basically the only ones with remaining snowpack outside of NNE. If we have accumulating snow late week, there's a chance we can experience a very long stretch with 1"+ snow on the ground. It's already been 7 days since I've seen grass.

RutgersWx92 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 High today was 49, high yesterday was 50. Back to reality starting tomorrow. Very little snowpack is left here, unfortunately. Just lots of remaining snow piles with some patchy grassy areas still coated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 lol no snow to the west or east of us though. I dont think this snowpack will make it through this week without at least a moderate sized event. Craig Allen seemed pretty optimistic about a snowstorm for next weekend. How did the 0z GFS look?

Probably not, but I recall February 2007 we held onto 3" of sleet for about 10-14 days, due to very cold temperatures. Sun angle much higher at that time as well. I wouldn't be surprised, at least for my local area, that we remain snow covered most of this week. Meanwhile 00z GFS looks like crap, clipper track much too far north.

Meanwhile 00z GFS looks like crap, clipper track much too far north. It's amazing how quickly this area loses snowpack....we only had one day above 50F here but we're down to just a couple of inches with lots of patchy areas. Granted, I only recorded 13" in the December 26th blizzard, but it was shocking how the high dewpoints today and yesterday just blasted away the snowpack after it had held up pretty well with sunny days in the 40s. I think we'll get replenished this weekend, though, I'm pretty much locking in at least a couple inches of snow for Westchester given the multiple opportunities coming with the PV diving in and then the potential for a Miller A in the longer range. 31.6/18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The March event also stuck around a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have about 4" on the ground, spots to 12". 32F today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Now its that hardened slush type consistency....definitely need even an inch or two to freshen it up (assuming it survives through Friday) Yeah we torched a lot more than you did. 57F with sun on Saturday and mid 50s again overnight Saturday.

Analog96 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Now its that hardened slush type consistency....definitely need even an inch or two to freshen it up (assuming it survives through Friday) The harder the snow, the more water content, the harder it is to melt.

jm1220 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 With the way its looking, January should average under 30 in NYC. Any snowfall should hold on, like it did in Jan 2009. We mostly have large piles here now and drifts, the more spread out snowcover is mostly gone. This is the point when a "snowpack replenisher" storm works wonders.

Stormlover74 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 True, tomorrow if we get into the 40s would be the only i'd see alot of melting The harder the snow, the more water content, the harder it is to melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian5671 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Still 90% coverage here-couple areas of grass showing, but what's left has frozen solid as cement after last night's freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analog96 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 True, tomorrow if we get into the 40s would be the only i'd see alot of melting Tomorrow could have a good deal of clouds in the afternoon, which would help to limit melting, too.

Manny Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 What a difference two days make. Bitter Cold outside compared to Saturday and even yesterday. Snow pack is dwindling, but plenty of spots of snow still left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Yeah my yard's a glacier now. Top layer is ice, glimmers in the sun, can't hardly break through walking around on it. Depths generally 4-6" on average but amazing some drifts to 15" still hanging on. Obviously the piles will be there for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha5 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Still have a solid 4" with piles up to 2 feet really suffered when the DP's got high...when it was 53 and a dp of 31 i barely lot an inch of snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Down to 22.7/18 here...cold night. We'll see if we can get into the teens, clear conditions now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Got down to 18 here this AM. Still about 2 - 3 " of rock hard snowcover on average. There are also barespots, thinspots and areas where it is 8" as well. But most of the ground is snowcovered and you can walk on top with barely a dent. We "only" had a foot, but I think it had significant water content ... plenty of graupel during the post Christmas storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Low was an impressive 13.8 here in Colts Neck. Snow depth still pretty much the same at 4-5" on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 The 12z NAM showed light QPF in the first 6 hours (i.e., through 18z today). I thought that it was out to lunch, but its been flurrying here. Big fat airy flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
