dendrite

Holy shit. I went out to let the chooks out and I looked at the edges of the pack where I snowblowed and thought it looked quite a bit lower. All of my measurements were 22-23”. So we lost 7-8” in about 12hrs.

I hate the pack being disturbed too. I do clear and orderly area of grass for my birds to free range on, but my neighbors make me go full tilt sometimes. Yeah, I know...they have kids having fun in it so I’m not really mad. But he will snowblow almost half of his backyard in a circle and blow all of the snow into the middle and make a mountain. The kids have a blast, but my OCD goes off the charts.

Kinda. But it looks really impressive for a couple of days. Thank god this wasn’t paste or else everything would have came down. I briefly lost power and had my cable wire come down in 3” a couple weeks ago, yet with this 34” not even a flicker. The bamboo is going to love it...nothing stuck to it and it has a nice insulation from the cold. Heavy, heavy migraine this morning. I think I got so amped up since the 00z models Wed night and then the following cleanup just wiped me out.

Newbury NH cocorahs just came in with 43.9” and a 30” depth. That’s the same depth I had at peak yesterday.

I have this thing where there’s no way I can start cleaning up the snow until it’s over. I need to see the untouched aftermath or else I get ragey. It’s probably a Kevin OCD thing.

Heh. To be fair I was intrigued and had a lot of posts and interest in the thread. There was a part of me that thought it could get up here, but I didn’t have a lot of reliable model guidance to back me up. The euro was so paltry up here every run that it was hard to accept the NAM and canadian models. Everything ticked south at 18z and I figured I was done for. Before the 00z runs rolled out I noticed the trajectory of the band in PA/NY looked pretty good for mby so I waited the 00z runs out and that’s when everything came way north again and Ray started melting. it’s probably worth giving the mesos more weight once inside 12-24hr when the synoptics are mostly ironed out. That was a draining cleanup though and I’m still not done. I’m already ready for a repeat though. I think even Lisa enjoyed it.

Just noticed I had more snow in 12 hours today than I had during the entire season of 2015-16.

1.89” so over the coming days it’ll work its way down to 10:1

Deck pic. There was nothing on it at midnight. That’s also on the east side of the house so no blow off.

34.4”

Found the truck.

I have a bunch of pics and vids...I’ll screw with the vids later. Youtube always gives me problems with vid quality.

Up to the top of my knickers.

Still cleaning up here, but the Ariens is a beast. I raised the blower about an inch up with my Armorskids and just plowed through. The snow was about 10” above the top of it, but I did one pass slow and let it cave in and then cleaned it up a 2nd time through at a higher speed. The chicken coop and run was back breaking though. Next up is cleaning off the vehicles.

Down to -SN. 2.1” last hour...mostly in the first 20 minutes. 34.4”

There was some TS in SW NH this morning. Just a few strikes picked up.

I think hotdogs were literally falling from the sky this morning.

Still moderate here. These may be lower echoes below the beam...not sure. I think the easterly returns up there were there the entire time, but the deform band probably overwhelmed the returns.

Lol at adding in the purple shades up to 96”. Storm of my dreams right here where everything came together. I’ve been waiting 42 years for a 30 incher. I may get emotional.

Down to regular heavy snow right now. Nearing the end of the insane rates.

I posted earlier that my cleared totals were 32.3”and my new depth is 28.5”. So clearing every 6hrs has netted me 3.8” so far.

OK lol...core sample is done. Had to put 2.38” of hot water in to melt the 19” down. 12a-6a: 13.3”/0.81” 6a-12p: 19.0”/0.99” Total: 32.3”/1.80” And it’s still pounding.

This may be the heaviest yet...at least some of the best snow growth.

I need jebman...crazy and all.

32.3” new 28.5” new depth (no clearing) 6hr core time. This sucker is 19” squashed into a 12” stratus
