I had to google this because I was curious if there was a warm weather term… well there is! Hibernation or “winter sleep” is the state of inactivity or low metabolic process animals perform during winter. Aestivation or “summer sleep”, on the other hand, is the low metabolic process by the animals during summer. So as the warm weather comes I guess we are technically aestivating? It seems to be saved for animals surviving in the dry hot climates. Anything above 32 is hot for us winter lovers right? 😂 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators telejunkie Posted March 18 Moderators Share Posted March 18 Just for the good S&G factor....12z GFS bringing upwards of 4ft to Northern VT mountains. It's all about the phase.... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin MaineJay Posted March 19 Admin Share Posted March 19 Would be nice to get some snow up to sugarloaf. I know a few folks who were hoping to ski and see the eclipse up there. 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin MaineJay Posted March 19 Admin Share Posted March 19 It would be unusual if no snow fell in March. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin MaineJay Posted March 19 Admin Share Posted March 19 GYX Quote The forecast for the weekend has shifted significantly since 24 hours ago as the Euro and it`s ensembles have tracked northwestward by several hundred miles with the weekend system, a solution the GFS alone was showing yesterday. This appears to be in part from a shortwave in the northern branch being more amplified on Saturday, and the high being located further north, rather than across New England. Now, the northern system alone looks to have the potential to bring accumulating snow to much of the area on Saturday, while another stronger storm develops off the Carolina coast. The break in the ridge provided by the northern branch shortwave allows the southern storm with its rich moisture to be drawn further north. The GFS is now showing a solution where the northern branch phases more with the southern system, and the Euro is very close to making this solution happen as well. Several Euro ensemble members are showing this now, and we will need to monitor if this trend continues over the next few runs. With such a large shift in the Euro from last night, it`s not unreasonable to think it will shift further to more of the phasing solution, rather than the cut off low off the Carolina coast solution. If this happens, there is then much more moisture in play with the system for New England, and a rain/snow line this would be highly dependent on the track. With multiple shortwaves, a potential cut off low, and a strong high present, there are many moving parts that will need to be sorted out over the next day or two before a clearer picture arises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators StretchCT Posted March 19 Moderators Share Posted March 19 (edited) Contrary to popular belief, getting little snow in March is fairly common in the Hartford area. And surprising to me is that it's not a recent trend. Its distributed fairly evenly. Even more interesting to me is that many if not most of the years that had no snow in March had snow in April This is the last 20 years. It's really all over the board.

Moderators StretchCT Posted March 19 Moderators Share Posted March 19 Looks like both GFS and Euro at 12z have the northern stream system moving ahead of the southern system so it turns into a frontal passage over NYC area but still some snow north of CT. Whether or not the low from the southern system rides up the front and who gets blasted with rain remains open. Actually so does the whole thing as it's only one run. Anyway, bets would be that we get 2-3 inches of rain from this one, probably quickly too. Maybe another 2-3 from one more system before March ends. Could end up with 8" of rain this month. Considering we got 9.04 in January, 10.52 in December,10.74 in September, 8.91 in July we may be in a spot to have the most rain in a 12 month period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro shifting west with the precip field. Still has the north/south separation and north going by faster. But it's close enough to siphon some qpf out of the southern system. GFS bopping around a little but pretty steady The two are not as far apart as yesterday. And a single stronger system is formed.

Moderators StretchCT Posted March 20 Moderators Share Posted March 20 ICON is interesting. It's further east but WOW 9"+ of rain just off NJ. Watch out if that shifts west. NJ coast already has 5" on this run. Ukie is similar but with the heaviest off Delmarva 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several in this area had to refire their snowmaking guns this week. Used to be that they would never think of turning them on after President's week cause the cost is so high...but they still need to meet season pass holder minimum days open, which i'm guessing would be a much greater liability. So some have had to fire them up a couple times this month just patch together somewhat continuous trails. A pretty impressive snow squall blowing through right now....ground quickly turned white. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
