CoastalWx Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 There's 32" at the stake right now. Thought I'd snap a pic because it'll be going down, down, down this weekend. lol Nice. Don't be surprised one day if you see me going down that slide naked, as my hands are flailing in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 The webcam near my house... snow depth is 27-28". Chairs next to the pool are almost buried. Fence around the pool is 4 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinch1989 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Epic pack still hanging on IMBY, 6-12" the norm in the yard. The brown you see, is the wood pile path. Sorry for the junky blackberry photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Well I was over in the general area of my parents, and I'm impressed at how their snowpack is retained. It's like the Tolland of the south shore. I broke the yardstick measuring the snowpack, but almost 18" in their backyard. I can jump on it and not break through. Still about 6-10" or so in the woods, where some of the water dripping from the trees may have compacted it down. So while Messenger is planting tomatoes...still pretty wintry about 27 miled to his nnw. I'll post pics later. South side slope areas are torched, but most of the area probably still has 4-10" where it receives a respectable amount of sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good guess from what I'm seeing down here. Some bare areas, and then some deep stuff still existing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 That's a good guess from what I'm seeing down here. Some bare areas, and then some deep stuff still existing. Even people who work here that live in GON residential wooded neighborhoods still have 6 in their yards, amazing the depth in the shade areas. I measured a north hill side neighborhood in Sterling CT yesterday with 18 plus of pure cement. Across the hill on the south side was probably 4-6, even down here in SE CT I run across these houses in knolls that have nice deep depths.

mreaves Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Taken yesterday. 15" brick still resides here for now I see bare spots on the shoveled path, therefore your snow depth is officially 0"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random house, but some pretty deep snow in Norwell My street in Marshvegas. Driveway to the house. Back yard. As you can see, it is somewhat protected. Measured just under 18" before stick broke. I couldn't get a close up because of the sunlight. Torch side of lawn, but most wooded areas in the area have 4-10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Not epic but that's a solid 30" snowpack in our yard--NWS precip gauges and roof-rake sleet-plastered to the garage roof to boot! No bare ground to be found anywhere around here....yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Here's an illustration of the variances in the snow pack...2nd pic is my side yard with 25" still holding strong. Then, across the street there are grass patches. This actually is more common in more urban areas, as the rest of the street still has 10"+ on both sides, but this house is on a hill combined with getting torched in the sun has given this one house near me some grassy areas. Common snow depth around town is 12-15". Of course, near roads is 0" and protected areas are near 20." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 its amazing what the sun can do. Sub blows this time of year. I'm impressed how well areas even to my south held the snow. I had more snow this year, but little to show. Urban heat Island FTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban heat Island FTL. I do wish the sun would have an effect on the end of my driveway by the garage. Solid 1-2" of ice because the sun never really gets to it. Still 19+ inches around mose of my year. Some more, some a little less. Septic tank showing again Wachusett was fairly crowded for mid-summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Scott I have not seen snow pack like that here since about feb 20th or so. The pack literally evaporated vacation week while I was in maine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pattern became a little more latitude favored later in January too. My buddy in Brockton has quite a bit of snow. I did notice that areas like Kingston had little snow, and areas to the nw like Hingham had more. You saw that first pic. Clearly the sun hits that, but still quite a bit. There has to be a big gradient somewhere. You have to look away from highways and main roads, because those areas are pretty torched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last meanigful snowfall was over a month ago and it was 4". I am glad I was in me for the 12" that fell with 1/4mi vis for 3 consec hours.

weatherMA Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Theres even more variances then I thought. I was in a little area at 700' in Shrewsbury tonight and they have wide spread 24"+ on all sides of the street. It looks just as impressive as Will's pics. Then you go into more sun torched areas and you feel like you've changed seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooralph Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Here in the city, all but the heartiest snowbanks are gone. I am fine with that and welcome as much rain as possible to wash the sidewalks clear. My father's house in North Reading is a different story. He is WINNING. These were taken Saturday, March 5.

They are trying to sell the house. The pool will be open before that pile is gone. The overall depth blew my mind. It's still at least 10-15" deep across the entire yard.

ORH_wxman Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Here is what is left after the carnage....we are down to about 80-90% coverage in the typical sheltered neighborhoods and about 50% coverage in the torch busy street areas. Here's some pics today from winter hill and the last one is of Indian Lake still frozen solid after that disaster. This pack won't survive another onslaught Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
