Little melting at my friends house right now. He still has a white landscape not far from here. Hovering around 0C with sun
Nope. This was in a deep freeze.. it just melted on the tarmac and not by a large amount.

I know when we had a deep freeze in March a few years ago, the snow melted gradually over about 10 days even though the high temp barely exceeded 0c.

Actually yesterday if a perfect example, 2 nights ago we got 2 inches of snow and now there is lots of grass showing and the high yesterday was only -7C. So how do you explain the snow dissapearance?
Yeah that's what I'm saying. The sun is too strong and the days too long now

Water freezes at 0C so either you had sheet of ice being -7C or it disappeared through evaporation like I said.


Understand there are other factors including amount accumulated, air temp, ratios, and length of time with sun. Just because the sun is out it doesn't mean its all going to go POOF. lol The colder it is, the longer it takes. The more you have, the longer it lasts.
Hmm. I've seen several inches of snow melt rapidly in April even when the high only reached 3c.

Latest Hi-Res NAM Radar 5pm today to Tuesday 8am every 3 hours..

Snow starts after midnight for NYC into CT, shows it changes to rain after sunrise for the coast then back to snow for sunset. Notice stays all snow for northern CT and MA

Darker colors are heavier snows.

Those are instability snow squalls in New England now ahead of the approaching clipper snows


Snow forecast totals. Will nei get half foot???
Sky reminds me of October 18th combined with unseasonably cold weather. Was thinking of it this afternoon while driving. I think the temperatures were a bit warmer and not as windy.

Yeah, squalls do have an awesome look.

Did Grandfather mountain beat Mt Washington in wind gust today?

Whats up with accuweather? its showing a low of 29 on Tuesday. No other website is showing that cold, it is an outlier, wunderground is showing 34. Weather.com is showing 36, local weather station is showing 32, and wral is showing 31. Doubt it will get any colder than 34. 29 is the record low for the 5th, so doubt we will get that cold. This week is going up and down, tomorrow we will be in the mid to upper 70s, Tuesday will be more like a early February day with temps in the low to mid 50s, then back to the 60s then back to 2 days in the upper 50s before we go back to temps in the upper 70s and after that everything looks warm with even some 80 degree days in the forecast next week. average high for today is 69, Tuesday the average high reaches 70.
