Snowadelphia Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Ski resorts can’t like this pattern the next 5 days or so. Hopefully they’ve got a nice base down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDClapper Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 0.9" in the first hour. This exceeds any rate during the last storm here. /sigh 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayuphere Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 In my neck of the woods, the next week is turning into a pending serious widespread disaster. Up to a foot of wet snow with winds up to 65 plus, then 1-2” of rain followed by a 2 day break then another snow to rain storm, then a potential classic nor’easter 3 days later with normal Jan temps. Damage recovery will be very slow as there are many roadside trees still hanging sideways from the December blow. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a gut feel that will not be happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteorologist so_whats_happening Posted January 9 Meteorologist Share Posted January 9 45 minutes ago, MaineJay said: I believe where you see the wind bars (NH/ME and St Lawrence) going more perpendicular to the isobars is known as ageostropic flow. Generally, the bars are closer to parallel with these lines. Hoping that CAD holds strong up here, fresh snow *should* encourage it. Ageostrophic wind is the difference from actual wind to what geostrophic wind would be. As you go up in the atmosphere you deal with less friction so wind follows parallel to the isobar but at surface you have that friction component until you get to the 'free atmosphere' essentially the top of the boundary layer where fricition is virtually negligible. So winds turn at the surface compared to what gradient flow would suggest. Ageostrophic wind is that difference. Pressure gradient forces also play a role other than just friction. If we use the wind to isobar approach to around NH/ME border the ageostrophic wind rough estimate would be to the NE. Strength of wind plays a role to how strong the ageostrophic wind is. Take for instance when we get strong CAD events we tend to have a N or NE wind from a high pressure up north and if we have weak surface winds to geostrophic winds ageostrophic flow is stronger meaning it bleeds down the east side of the apps. If we have stronger surface winds than what is produced by geostrophic flow ageostrophic flow starts to reverse and actually will point north east instead of sw like during weaker winds. It really becomes rather complex when you know this is happening at every level differently. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayuphere Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Just read a Bangor Daily News article posted this morning that says around Bangor there are still “hundreds” of utility poles that were only braced for a temp fix from the December storm…..😳 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build back better though, send all that money to Iran and Ukraine. 😎 PA where I live has a phenomenal power grid run by PPL Electric. Since we moved here 18 years ago, have only experienced like 5 power outages, of at most 2 - 3 hours tops, longest one happened during an end of October 2008 when 12" of very wet heavy snow fell, so we were without power for around 12 hours. And a few of the power outages were not related to weather at all actually. It was a car that ran into a pole and caught on fire, and the there were a couple other similar incidents. Again 2 - 3 hours max to get power back. Lastly all of those outages happened before 2013 when a major upgrade was made to the power grid in the Pocono plateau. So last 10 years we've been power outage free. In the valleys (Canadensis, PA for instance) because of very tall, old trees they tend to have more power outages, but their power grid is being upgraded as well. 28F an snow has lightened up a bit, around .9". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDBlueridge Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Mostly rain and 33F now. Ice, snow, flooding rain, then snow tonite. Go mother nature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You omitted the word “foreign” in front of investors…😉 So do we root for CAD to hang in there or a quicker push to warming? Based on the 3 day storm cycle I’d almost rather see a quick changeover to erase any new accumulations in prep for the next mess. Only have about 1” of snow on the ground so all good as far as flooding. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
