warmer temps will help with the crust that must be under the dust. Although I know no exact dates, I have heard scuttlebutt that the latter part of this month is forecasted to be much better than the start.

Latest forecasts I've heard on that storm sound an awful lot like the one we had this past weekend...I sure hope that's wrong.

I heard that too :angry: FWIW last week at this time they were forecasting the last event as a snowstorm...so maybe they will go wrong in the other direction.

Interesting how more often snow forecasts bust than rain forecasts flip in our favor. I know it happened once at the beginning of February, but it sucks that it seems easier to accurately forecast rain events than it does snow events.

The other thing that sucks is that so often in NE, the forecast looks like this:

Monday
High: 13
Low: 3
Sunny, cold

Tuesday
High: 24
Low: 12
Partly Cloudy

Wednesday
High: 42
Low: 34
Rain

Thursday
High: 21
Low: 11
Flurries, wind gusts 30-40

So it's Monday and I'm thinking, "No way is it 42 and rain Wednesday, it's freaking 3 degrees out there right now." And then Wednesday comes and no, it's not 42 and rain, it's 49 and rain, and the next day it's very cold again, lots of wind. We got warm just long enough to pick up 3/4 inch of rain. And then the warm front sweeps off and leaves us with wind-blown dust on crust.

I dunno. Looks like the bulk of the precipitation is getting here like.. Right now..

Don't think it's going to get cold enough until really late tonight for us to get any sort of significant snow.

I stand corrected. As of 6am this morning, we've gotten 2" in Lyndeborough.
