So, color me disappointed this morning. I was really really hoping to see at least 6″ on the ground here in Huntington. It would be great to get Sleepy Hollow and Camel’s Hump Nordic back up and running. Mad River Glen is reporting 6-8″ of new snow overnight so it looks like higher elevations did indeed pick up the goods (though nowhere near the 12-18″ that some had predicted…) And longer-term forecasts are calling for a return next week to the mild stuff we’ve been seeing all season. Man, just can’t catch a break here…

Tonight should be mostly cloudy with lows of 27F and winds from the WNW at 5-15 mph gusting to 20-30 mph over higher elevations.
Saturday should be mostly cloudy in the morning, then partly cloudy. Highs will be around 41F with winds from the NW at 5-10 mph. Saturday night should be overcast with lows of 19F and winds from the South at 5-10 mph shifting to the West after midnight.
Sunday’s looking partly cloudy with a chance of snow as clipper system moves through (incidentally pushing a nor’easter off the coast in the process…) Highs will be around 36F with light winds.

Alas, I was really hoping that elevational snow would be the rule this morning. Reports from Mad River Glen indicate that they picked up 1″ of “compressed powder” before the precip turned to rain later overnight. Hmmmm… Still might be worth a turn or two…

One of the noisy robins in the ash tree in our front yard...
Morning Observation:
This morning in Huntington at 6:35AM it’s currently 31 degrees under overcast skies. Winds are calm. Relative humidity is 97%, dewpoint 30, barometric pressure 30.25″ and steady. We have about 3″ of snow at the stake. 24hr high was 40, low 31.
Not only does it feel like early spring out there this morning, but it smells and sounds like it too. We’ve got robins chirruping and a woodpecker hammering away on a power transformer up by the road (definite breeding behavior…) Bluejays are squawking away as well. There’s a very busy feel to the morning out there today…
Forecast:
A brief shot of high pressure will move through the area this morning before a more organized system moves in later in the day. We’ll see mostly cloudy skies in the morning, then overcast with a chance of rain in the afternoon. Highs will be around 48F (it’s not really feeling all that unseasonable anymore is it…) with winds from the SSE at 5-10 mph. Chance of rain is 60%. Tonight will be overcast with rain changing over to snow after midnight as colder air spills into the region. Lows will be around 32F with winds from the South at 5-10 mph. Chance of snow is 90%. Accumulations might range from 1-2″ in valley locations to 3-4″ in higher elevations.
Friday’s looking overcast with a chance of snow and rain in the morning, then partly cloudy. Highs will continue on the mild side – 46F – with winds from the WSW at 5-10 mph. Chance of snow is 20%. Friday night should be mostly cloudy with lows of 25F and winds from the SSW at 5-10 mph shifting to the West after midnight.
Saturday should be partly cloudy with a chance of snow. Highs will again be in the upper 30s to low 40s 43F with winds from the WNW at 5-10 mph. Chance of snow is 20%. Saturday night should be mostly cloudy with a chance of snow in the evening, then clear. Lows will drop to 19F with light winds.
There’s some discussion about a nor’easter moving up the coast Sunday, but most models are calling for it to be too far out to sea to affect us. We’ll have to wait and see…

Remembering the Valentine’s Day Storm of 2007
Our front yard on February 15th, 2007. That's a four-foot snowstake just on the right...
I wanted to post a supplement so that we could take off our hats, bow our heads and remember the Valentine’s Day Storm of 2007.
Here in Huntington we had 12″ of snow on the ground on February 13th (and a low of -17!). The Nor’easter that boomed up the Atlantic coast began dumping snow on us overnight on the 13th giving us 7.5″ of new snow by daybreak on the 14th. The storm kept delivering all day though and by the next morning we had an additional 20.5″ of new snow and 39″ at the stake (which is a record for as long as I’ve been keeping track here…) That winter continued for quite sometime and we weren’t snow free here until April 19!

A note about my snowpack measurements: As some of you have pointed out, there’s hardly any snow around here especially anywhere the sun hits. Our snow stake is located in the sheltered north side of our house so it tends to hold snow longer than most places on our property. Now ya know!
