Weekend Answers and Questions

Powder in the Glades
Somethings in life are certain, while others are not. These are a few of the things I know for sure this weekend. It will be colder, brisk Saturday with highs in the 20’s. NW winds will sometimes gust to 30 mph making temperatures feel like they are in the Teens and single digits. This will likely be the best all around ski weekend we have seen yet this winter…with Powder skiing to be found off the beaten path. 100% open terrain. Vermont has seen several new inches the past couple days to add to the bases which are averaging about 3-6 feet. There will be some wind chills today…But Sunday will feature the arrival of warmer air! Read more
January 2009 Cold and Snowy- But not Coldest or Snowiest here at NECN
Posted by Tim Kelley January 30, 2009 at 9:05 pm
.Here at NECN we have about 14″ snow depth.
Our record snow depth is 32″ set January 10, 1996. The Jan ‘96 snow was mostly gone by the 27th due to several warm storms that caused major flooding that month. This January we have had 22″ of snow, not a record, but the cold has kept the snow pack.

35 Below Zero to 57 Above Zero in a Single Day
Posted by Tim Kelley January 29, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Yesterday morning the low temperature was 35 below zero at Masardis Maine, the high temperature in Falmouth Massachusetts reached 57 degrees above. A nice gradient of 92 degrees from coldest to warmest in New England. The thermal gradient is fuel for storms that are a result of balancing out temperature in inequalities. We got the slop storm. Not our worst, but it is much worse to our south. In Kentucky, 1000’s remain without electricity.
Today in New England, a look at the blue sky and the lazy anemometer (Mount Washington was down to west wind 14 mph at 4 PM), it’s as if nothing happened. The day turned out beautiful beyond the call of the forecast! The calm after the storm. But under foot, we are iced over.. at least in my neighborhood.

Yesterday’s storm is long gone, and we’re fairly quiet for the next several days…
Posted by Danielle Niles January 29, 2009 at 12:14 pm
What a difference a day makes! Yesterday at this time we were dealing with a significant winter storm- and today, it’s quiet. We’ll see some scattered snow showers overnight on Friday and into Saturday morning, but other than that, we’re looking fairly quiet for the next several days. There is plenty to keep an eye on though, as the latest guidance hints towards a major storm on tap for New England overnight on Monday and into Tuesday of next week. Read more
