Deep Snow & Sunshine.. Downhill Lowdown
Posted by Tim Kelley March 11, 2010 (3 days ago) at 10:16 am
New England has deep snow and plenty of sunshine, for the best skiing this side of Powder. There is hope for a continuation of this great weather into at least part of the weekend. And Maine may miss this the weekend rain altogether. Check this video of Cranmore, provided by Ski New Hampshire. Trails counts are highest, and snow pack deepest of the winter.
What? No Tues-Thurs Snow?

We reached 60° in New England today, the nicest weather since November 19-21, 2009.
And now, for the first time since January 12-14, 2010, we are not forecasting snow or rain in New England on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Oh What a Relief! Because many of the 7 mid-week storm forecasts have busted in one way or another. We shall relish the quiet… and retool for more fun beginning this weekend and beyond. The most interesting feature on the weather map today is the same thing as yesterday and the day before and the day before. The FOG over the Northern Plains. The fog shows up on the Visible Satellite Map.. seemingly every day. Here is the view this afternoon, Monday March 8, 2010.
That storm in Texas is a slow mover. The rain will arrive Friday, and may take the weekend to get by. Wind will increase from the east and southeast, perhaps to Gale Force by Saturday. Don;t cancel your weekend plan, but prepare for a rain delay, forecasts change all the time (for example, last Wednesday, I thought we would snow this Wednesday).
For more on the interesting Fog and Cold in North Dakota, see the Public Information Statements below. Why so much Fog? Submit possible explanation in comment section, also feel free to rib forecasters.

DownHill Lowdown March 3, 2010- Sugarbush Powder
Posted by Tim Kelley March 4, 2010 (2 weeks ago) at 6:39 pm
Mountain Wrecking Crew Productions scored first tracks on Castlerock at Sugarbush Vermont Saturday February 27, 2010. Bob and Nancy Hennessey report nothing but powder after SuperStorm 2010. How did they get first tracks of Weds-Fri Snow? We had wind hold Thursday and Friday.. leaving knee to waist deep pockets of snow. This weekend we get sunshine along with the deepest base depths of the winter.
Another Wednesday, Another Stormy Forecast

11 PM udate
Moderate Snow Norwell MA closing in on a whole inch!
Rain Scituate to Cape Cod at 34 degrees 11 pm Is a Slap In The Face..
This was not even a consideration??

Wednesday Evening March 3, 2010 Update..
Another bust.. Here is new thinking. The big deal is Coastal Flooding at High Tide around 2 AM. We may have similar flooding to what happened Midday Monday. The snow bands are there, but so far are falling apart as fast as they form. Reports from Cape Cod are 1″-2″, we may see enough for plowing by AM.

Day #7 Stormy New England
Posted by Tim Kelley March 1, 2010 (2 weeks ago) at 8:42 pm
Simply amazing that we have a third storm merging with the upper low stalled over the northeast for 7 days now. The storm that tracked south of New Orleans Friday Feb 26, 2010, across southern FL Saturday, merged with our old Super Storm south of Nova Scotia today, Monday March 1, 2010. The resultant wind from the North ramped up to 50+ in gusts creating waves of 10′-20′ funneling to Massachusetts Bay. The combination of a weeks worth of onshore wind, Full Cold Moon High Tide, and wind from the right direction, brought the roughest seas to shores south of Boston since the April 2007 super storm. Here is the weather map for today. Some photos from the shore are posted below.
There is another storm with 3″ of snow in Dallam texas today. That low will bring another round of Gale Force wind to New England Wednesday. But the heavy precip should stay offshore. Believe it or not, Vermont may get the most in the next few days, from a storm passing way off to the south. Go Figure. About as logical as rain in Maine, and Snow on Cape Cod, that we saw today (another warm from the north due to block).

‘BomboGenesis’ is What Happened Feb 25, 2010
Posted by Tim Kelley February 26, 2010 (3 weeks ago) at 7:29 pm
Hurricane force wind ripped through New England on the evening of Thursday February 25, 2010. Watching Weather Radar, it was clear we had a circulation tracking from Buzzard’s Bay to Boston to Worcester Massachusetts. Watching the Surface Observations it was clear we had an intensifying Low Pressure Center deviating from a forecast track and intensity. In fact the Midnight observation at Isle Of Shoals NH Buoy recorded sustained wind of 64 Knots, Gusting 78 Knots, 1 knot below a Cat One Hurricane! In this image below we use observations to deduce the track of this February 2010 SuperStorm. Feeding this storm was the 80° energy & severe storms in Florida Wednesday, combined with the -7° record cold from Des Moines IA. Tropical and Arctic air, with storms #1 and storm # 2 merging near Cape Cod.
Deepest Snow Storm This Winter!
Posted by Tim Kelley February 24, 2010 (3 weeks ago) at 12:07 pm
We are in day 2 of, what now looks like, a 6 day storm. Here is video from Wednesday at Attitash New Hampshire, along with snow amounts from part one of this two part storm.
The snow in this image sent to us from Killington Ski Resort in Vermont is the same as the entire mountain ridge from Western Massachusetts up Route 100 to Canada. We have 19″ at Killington and counting.
New Hampshire and Maine are up next. We all get several feet of snow through Sunday February 28, 2010.
