Couple snow storms on the radar .

11F here, cold wind.  Going to be in the teens for highs for 5 days. Doesn't look like the next storm is until Wednesday up here and hovering up around 32F then. Not much snow for skiing or snowmobiling around here. Snowed some yesterday, but didn't accum. much of anything.

20 ish here, warmer.
Snow moving in tomorrow, maybe 1/2 foot.
That Wednesday storm looks bigger mixed bag and wind but ending in mostly rain on the GFS model.
Had a 2nd of the season woodstove fire in the basement last night, hasn't been much frozen ground around so been staying above 50*in there.
But stiff enough now to do some trail maint. w/tractor.

Sunday storm will be all snow.
But Wed looks to be snow than turn to rain.
Last year we went through the snow than rain storms.
But seem like mid Jan the storms was all snow or not as much rain to make a big mess.

We are just starting that snow about 20 minutes ago. Supposed to get heavy overnight and taper mid-day tomorrow. Just at 30° right now but very damp and feels very uncomfortable (colder than a well digger). However I am am sitting next to the shop stove now after rooting around in the shed for clamps and it is 75° where I am sitting, only 69 upstairs though.  :D
Supposed to get 6-12 with this dumping so it's the first real snow in nearly 2 years. I am just glad the ground is crusted over because plowing would be miserable otherwise.

Nothing here so far. 8F on the porch but the weather app says 3F at the station. It's cloudy. We don't get big snow storms when it's that cold in this area. We can get squalls though. It's funny the snow storms have been so dry, not much accum. It knows how to rain, but the snow storms just fizzle out. :D Almost a month into winter and barely enough to shovel with all the snow combined. :D

Finally got some snow. About 5 inches of extremely wet , sticky, heavy stuff.  Going to stink plowing it because the ground  isn't  frozen yet. Tuesday/ Wednesday supposed to be warm and rainy.

I haven't measured yet, but looks pretty much like a good 12" here and it is 31°. Temp was 25 at midnight and rose steady through the night. This looks to be heavy plowing.

Only around 12F here now and peeks of sun, but mostly clouds. Looks like we missed the snow.

and woodwork now.  8)

Jetstream is down to the southern tip of Maine. I think NS and PEI and probably southern NB got snow. Dry up this way. Forecast out of Houlton, Maine said it was unlikely we would see snow up this way.

Enjoy your heated shop. ;) Hopefully will be in the same camp next winter. ;D

Maybe 3-5 for us. But saying that I already have about 2 inches and suppose to snow until dark.
The coast may get a foot.
Then 48 on Wed and an inch of rain.
Not a great week for working outside,

I think this is the first frost this morning. Dog were slipping and sliding on the wood deck. It's 31°f

John, I heard they got about a foot in the sierra's today near I80. That near your cabin?

I measured and honest 8" in multiple places when I went out, but this stuff is not doubt compressing under it's own weight. Great snowball and building snow for sure. It turns blue as soon as you pick it up and plowing is 'challenging' with the Mule, but it pushes it. ;D
I started plowing just after 8 then took a break for breakfast, then back at it.  Everything is opened up, but it snowed steady and hard the whole time and still coming down steady. I even snow blowed, first time in 3 years, across the back yard (my commute to work) and across the front walk and a bit behind the shop. Remaining is the shovel work I can't get with other methods around doors etc. First real snow in 2 years here. Last year we had one big one that clobbered them up by Bargemonkey, but here we got an inch or less and rain.
I'm pooped, time to do a little shop work, then I'll hit it all again when it gets near dark or stops. I think I damaged a shoulder somehow, but we'll see. It's supposed to get close to 50 on Wednesday morning. >:(

Just looked at the traffic cameras up there on I80.

Ten miles west and 800 foot lower, looks to be at least a foot. Road is wet with slush between lanes and a good bank of snow on the sides.

Ten miles east and a couple hundred foot higher the road is covered with snow, just tire tracks are somewhat bare. At least 2 foot of snow there. I use that location as a good indicator for my property.

About a foot here, temp has been around 24 all day. This storm was really two storms. We had about 6" last night into early morning then it stopped. Late morning started up very hard and dumped another 6" by 4pm. Just very light snow now with a cold wind.

It started here about 2 hours ago, and picked up more heavy about 1 hour ago, maybe a inch down so far, suppose to get more intense on 2 hours and hold for about 4 hours then taper off. Probably 8-10inch in the end. More on this later
