Snowstorm Wednesday 1/28

SteveA · 01-29-2009, 06:33 AM

The sleet was brief. By this morning it looks like 12-14". It drifted a little. What little sleet/rain there was didn't last long and didn't have much effect.

It was still easy to snow blow this AM. Looks like a moon scape out there, complete with a "crater" over the septic tank!

The total at Black Cat was 12.6 inches. We changed over to sleet for about 15 minutes at 6 p.m. At that time it got windy, and the temp reached its daily max of 25. Then the wind settled down as fast as it came up, shifted into the north, the temp dropped right back and we went back to heavy snow, which then tapered off. Snow ended by midnight. At 1 a.m. we had starry skies. The graph from the temperature is pretty cool, and 6 p.m. last night is still on there for a few more hours. To see it, visit the WeatherCenter page and click on "graphs" in the upper right corner.

The sun is warm today, with temp at 26. It's melting and drying the areas I've shoveled.

So the lake is going to be a mess huh. With temps in the 20's I don't see the slush freezing. Bummer.

How's the buildup on the roofs? Is it time to think about going to the island and shoveling? Hoping the snow has been light stuff that blows off. My roof is dark green metal so I does a good job of self cleaning where it has sun exposure.

Unfortunatley if Tuesdays storm is rain, the ice is going to be a huge mess...

Well I'm here in Meredith. Nice to be back. The conditions are awsome. No slush, great snow, great weather and good ice. We have about 10-12" halfway down Meredith bay. I think the snow really insulated it. Either way it's great.
