March 8 we do the clocks. That extra hour of sunshine everyday will wipe out the snow in no time.

this was actually a pretty good forecast 

i have always wondered what exactly happens on May 1 to make it worthy of a countdown. every. single. year.

Snowpack in the region now below year ago levels.

in what region? 

last year on 3/5 my pack was down to 4" and I had zero snow on 3/17, not even a stray pile.

yeah, it is only 3/12, but i have a long way to go to zero snow as i still have close to a foot in parts of my yard.

what is this rain that was spoken of last night? had a couple sprinkles that amounted to 0.00000000000" of precip

Nashua sitting @ 69.75" based on my measurements....

so that’s like 2” less than here

The most memorable thing about it has been the prolonged pack. Aside from the 20” storm, we’ve had maybe 1 other warning event… @512high can keep me honest. 

that’s fair, no real biggies but sustained pack for sure. But 69” is above average for you, isn’t it?

B-

Very forgettable.

must have been a big difference between Nashua and MHT, because I wouldn't call this winter forgettable. completely subjective and open to interpretation, of course.

what did you end up with on the season?

got home last night and the pack was standing strong with about 99% coverage. woke up this AM and the pack took a beating overnight, sunny front yard is >50% gone, shady side 100% covered, but sunny parts of back yard are going quick, about 75% coverage there. wrap it up.

I give this winter an A-. great pack year, although it was a little less great in the end of Dec and first half of Jan. my pack maxed out at around 2’, which is nothing to sneeze at.

Obviously there was plenty of cold around. as of today I am just over average at 74”. Was nice to get out on the local snowmobile trails for a change.

71 at MHT

74 on my sun-drenched thermo

66 at CON, how can that be?

I was worried about ice dams (which would have been a first for me) because my downspouts were frozen solid. after hitting 58 today, no more worries. it’s all flowing nicely. will be no snow on the roof by the end of tomorrow

It can end. I mean, we just had almost a foot of snow in three days.

I’ve been away for a week. what did you get in each event this week?

Whats the pack like up there, esp north/east of the first lake? Dont get much for obs since johns weather went offline 

well I’m doing my best not to bury my sled off-trail, so I’m not really sure but based on past experience, it’s deep, prob close to 3’. Saw a moose up that way up to its chest in the middle of a clearing.

got about 2” overnight up in Pittsburg NH. Pretty toasty today, snowmobile trails down low are getting slushy

So much beer.

today was great being outside with temp at 50 in the sun. -15 up north Monday morning is going to be a slap in my wiener when we get ready for snowmobiling.

Forecast for Thursday to Saturday looks brutal for Jay Peak.  Wow figures my son flys in from Florida at the absolute worst time all winter to ski.

COME ON MAN! You call yourself a sledder!?  JK but seriously, I've been out at 45 degrees below in central Canada... THAT was chilly, but we were dressed for it. We ended up coming in late for dinner to our hotel that night because of a problem Arctic Crap sled. We would sled from hotel to hotel for 6 nights, it was awesome!

yeah, been there done that, in QC about 15 years ago did a similar trip. woke up one morning in Jonquiere to -45, sleds were not happy to start. i really don't mind the cold, but it is getting late in the season to enjoy it, if you know what I mean

I was thinking the rad pits could have one last hurrah below 0F early next week. Cold high cresting over deep snow pack....that'll plummet regardless of when in the season it is occurring. 

i am heading up to Pittsburg for some snowmobiling next week. wunderground has them at -13 Sunday night, and -6 Monday night. i won't be out on the sled in those temps, screw that.

That’s great but we all have some kind of accolades in our life. Should we all sit here and put out everything that we’ve done and all the accomplishments that we’ve made on a weather forum? What relevance does that have?
 

i made the deans list one semester in college. what did you do that was so special?

Well I was pretty sure that’s what he was getting at…but I just don’t know why it can’t be said in plain language. 

Has tip ever made a post in plain language?
