Winter '09-'10 is underway
The season's first snow is possible in the higher elevations of the Lakes Region tonight. Showers are expected to develop this afternoon and linger through the evening, especially at elevation. As the air cools they will change to snow at elevations of 1500 feet or higher. Mountains such as Whiteface or Passaconaway, which are near Sandwich, may have an inch accumulation. Elsewhere, no accumulation is expected.
An early season cold air mass is making its way through the western US where it is creating the first major snowstorm of the season in the mountains of Utah and western Wyoming. As the cold air plows the warmer air of the plains out of the way, expect to see reports of damaging severe weather there -- possibly a tornado outbreak. The cold air will then take over those areas too. The system will move to the northeast this weekend but will bring us a soggy couple days of chilly rain. Expect an unsettled pattern in the meantime, with each day having a mix of sun and showers. Any showers lingering at night may turn to snow at the higher elevations. |
"they" claim it supposed to be another nasty winter with a good amount of snow. Who "they" is will vary from person to person. :D I still need to paint a water stain from a leak last winter. Yeah I know I'm right on the ball. :eek:

What is forecast for this weekend
OK, here in Spencer MA, we have a great dusting of snow this morning, am heading up for the weekend to the lake. Wondering what the forecast is for the lakes region, I do not get a great feel for it from the Boston Weather.
Cannot wait to see the snow on the mountains and what is left of the color on the trees. Plus of course the lake.:D |

I was quite shocked to see snow on the ground this morning. :eek2: We are heading to the lake tomorrow morning and it looks like there is a chance to catch some snow showers there too. We've never been there for that. This winter is coming way too fast for me! Winter itself isn't the big problem for me, it is the ice storms that leave their mess and make life dangerous for this accident prone gal. :o |
Right now it looks nice and clear. The attached is from channel 5 radar
|
We skipped spring,summer and fall. It looks like we are just going to have modified winter the year round from now on.
|
But it sure feels good cranking up the woodstove and curling up for the night with no place that you have to go.
|
I agree TB, nothing like a wood stove fire especially if you have a stove with glass doors where you can watch the fire as well.
Only drawback is the heat is so dry, if you heat mostly with wood durring the winter the air in the house gets very dry. I use a humidifier to help out with that problem, anyone have any other suggestions? |

We had a little bit of snow down here in Coventry RI on Thursday October 15. I don't recall it ever coming this early.

Never mind about the woodstoves. How about some Indian Summer !

First snow at Black Cat
The island has seen its first snowfall of the season. Yesterday, depsite a forecast for rain, the storm blew in as snow. We were on its northern fringes all day, and there was no accumulation. However, the storm had the look and feel of any early December storm.
The weather pattern has been one more typically seen in late November or early December. Forecasters have been admittedly struggling with the computer models, which are not programmed to recognize this. They are programmed to consider normal conditions for the time of year, and they also consider deviations seen in the age of modern meteorology. When the computer models aren't sure what to say, it leaves their human interpreters having to make educated guesses without the same level of computer help they've traditionally depended on. When the arctic air mass that gave us our snow was first descending into the Rockies from Canada a couple weeks ago, the technical forecast discussions from the weather offices out there were pretty strongly worded and candid, as forecasters admitted to each other that they were looking at something very unusual, and that the temperatures in their final forecasts would have to be adjusted significantly downward from computer guidance as a result. The computers weren't grasping reality, while the people knew. Similarly, yesterday's storm would have brought rain to the lakes region if it happened in a 'normal' October. The human forecasters stuck closer to that thinking. Last night, I was visiting with friends in Rochester, and we were watching the snow come down outside the window all evening. As the storm departed New England after midnight, radar indicated some moderate snow in a band right along the coast from Portland to Portsmouth. There are certain rules of forecasting that apply at different times of the year. This fall, forecasters who've pretended it's December have been forecasting with success. Some forecasters are more willing to go against computer guidance than others, while some will always stick close to it. There aren't a lot of forecasters who are mentally able to "pretend it's December" when they know it's really October. Therefore, think of every weather forecast in this area as potentially warmer than it will actually be. For any given forecast that you look at, don't be surprised if temperatures end up being colder, or if a forecast for rain turns out to be snow. The ski trails at Gunstock are white today. For the summit elevation, October snow isn't unheard of, but it doesn't happen all the time, either. While October 18 is very early for snow at this elevation (510 feet), we've had October snow two other occasions since 2000. October 2002 brought accumulating snow from here down to Massachusetts during peak foliage. October 20, 2006 brought a nor'easter whose rain changed to snow just before all precipitation ended around 8 p.m. Quote:

Well-hydrated air feels warmer, too. |
yes, winter is certainly underway now, and it looks like another ice storm almost a year to the day as last year coming on wed.

Storm totals (Dec 4)
Hey CLA, did you really get 6" at Black Cat Island from the snow on Friday? I'm about 3.5 miles ENE of you and we got, at most, 1/4". How can it be that different? I'm thinking the NWS got a decimal point wrong.
Sourced from the Union Leader article which says... The National Weather Service collected statewide reports this morning on the snow dropped by the overnight storm.

What's up for tonight 12/8/09
What is the word for this evening and tomorrow morning weather wise in the lake region?? I see that the southern part of the state they are saying 3 to 6 inches. I personally do not want to see plowable snow until the ground freezes up solid.:)

Winter Storm Warning...

why does it matter whether the ground is frozen solid or not? Saturday's storm seems to be sticking to the grass pretty good!

Winter Storm Warning
Looking like a much bigger event than originally thought. NWS has just changed the forecast: Winter Storm Warning with 6 to 10 inches of white gold! :coolsm:
