Maine weather thread (Caribou, Gray, Newport: different, silver, golden)

[slyfox2]

Two major storms for Maine according to Farmers Almanac in January, one of which is supposed to be 4th-7th. I’m getting my snows on my subaru on the third. And I’m scheduled to get the exhaust manifold gasket replaced on the fourth. I’d really like to have both AWD vehicles available with their nice Nitto Nt2’s(poor man’s Blizzack, though many people say they are better than Blizzacks).

Not looking forward to teaching pottying a new puppy in a snowstorm.

Warm up for the snow Thursday to Friday, then back into arctic circle sloppy seconds. The another snow event on the 9th or so. And then another snow event on the 22nd or so, when it finally warms back into daytime temps in the low 20’s.

You need a puppy privy.

Currently here, in Aurora, ME -13F Degrees, Dew Point -16FDegrees, Winds 8mph WNW, Wind Chill, -25F... Partially Cloudy..High today 3F Degrees - Low -12F
Spied the moom last night, and was amazed at how bright it shone across the snow-laden, Meadows.....
A glorious Sunrise broke the horizon this morning, blushing the remaing snow with rose and the shadows with purple...
Scarlet Flutter (our HOPEFULLY, Resident Cardinal), returned on New Years Eve, flashing his color wherever he lit! All the birds are so fluffly they look like fledglings and makes one long to stroke them, as one would a baby chick.
Another beautiful day at Birch Meadows with the fragrance of a hearty breakfast drawing one into the kitchen!
Hey! Happy New Year, everyone!

Jan 1, 2018 8am Wind Chill Values..


Feels like -39° below zero in Greenville.
-26° in Rockland.


Ignore that -50 on top of Mt Washington. This software is capped at -50. It's actually -61 up there.




Edit:: Check out the Wind Chills Down South

And not done yet... after the storm Thursday another reinforcing shot comes...and could be colder. Note the "blizzard conditions" mentioned as well in here for Thursday depending on track

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gray ME
648 AM EST Mon Jan 1 2018

While cold conditions will be the norm through the long term
forecast period the most significant impacts will be the result
of Thursdays coastal low. All guidance continues to strengthen
this low to below 960mb, and in a very short time. The result is
a large wind field with 35kt wind gusts extending outwards over
200 miles from the storm center. Hurricane force winds are
expected within the core of the storm. Similar to the wind field
the precipitation, which will be all snow due to the cold
temperatures, will also extend far from the storm center. Strong
bands with very intense snowfall are likely near the core of
the system. A storm of this magnitude is clearly capable of
significant impacts, including blizzard conditions near the
storm center. However the track guidance has held fairly steady
overnight, and keeps the core of the storm offshore in the Gulf
of Maine. If this near miss track is able to hold land areas
will see some snow, as well as gusty winds of 20-30 mph but
miss the core of the system. A more westward deviation would
result in increased snow and wind approaching blizzard
conditions, while an eastward deviation would bring snow to only
the immediate coastline. All of the track variation is sourced
from the variability in the short wave diving southward to
create the storm, which means much of this variability is
unlikely to be resolved until late Tuesday making this a nail
biter right through to the end.

Following the low we get another arctic outbreak, this one even
colder than the current with 850mb temperatures dropping to a
frigid -30C across the northern mountains. If that sub 30 below
air is able to make it all the way to GYX it will be at or near
record cold 850mb temperature for the GYX sounding for Saturday
morning.

Slyfox2...So very sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved pet and familymember! Hoping your heart will expand to embrace your new member and puppy!

Canadian model has a full blown blizzard for you guys. Get those generators warmed up if that happens.


GFS says No. Just a normal 2-5" snowstorm closer to the coast.


Waiting for Euro model later

For the last week, wind chills have generally been colder downstate than up here (especially bad around Fryeberg/Berlin NH).


That's pretty unusual.

Bringing Thursday's impending storm back up to the top. It's getting legs and has ticked west a good bit. High winds, fast moving and good amounts of snow, especially Downeast for now!

Sweet

We can always use a little more of this 'poor man's fertilizer' here in Maine.
