ORH_wxman Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Like I was melting down last week when I told you this was rain. You are coming off a whiny cry baby though snapping back at Scott about how this isn't unprecedented and how the Euro vomited all over itself...whther that was your intention or not, its what a looks like to a lot of people. Big deal, you get 4 tenths of an inch of 34F rain and end as snow...try again next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 If 1969 was the last time depths got to this size in many of the lower elevations and coastal plain (I think 2001 was deeper in the interior), folks are likely going to have to wait a long time to see this again, haha. I had close to 3' in '05 and '96, in protected areas, but it lasted a couple of days..lol. The snow that I'm looking at now in those same places to the south is very close to that, but this snowpack is exponentially more impressive. If you want to make the argument that some areas may have had more in '05 and '96, then fine I guess you squeak by, but that argument is weak imo. The depth, consistency, and time that this snow has been on the ground is ridiculous. Many spots around here have had over 2' of snow for a few weeks now. This just does not happen much down here..and even in parts of nne away from the high elevations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Well more or less for ern mass, it is. I don't mean that for 3 hrs after a fluff blizzard, you might touch 30"...of course you may. But it's unprecedented for most of us east of ORH. "Snow Depth Days makes a better measure of impact a winter's snows. The depth days for a whole winter are simply the sum of the snow depth on the ground for each day of the winter." Compare this winter to 1969 in that regard... I've always been a fan of snow depth days as a way to measure the winter. I wonder where this winter stands? I'd bet if you added up all the inches on the ground each day this season, this is close to #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad facts squeak by in your book. lol I agree with your sentiment, which is why I rank this winter #1 and we aren't even done.......but all I said was is that mby has had deeper in the past...only one time, but it has.

CoastalWx Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 This depth is not unprecedented......for longevity of a 20"+ pack, maybe.....but the former simply isn't the case. Likey my fav winter of all time, but facts are facts. Where in E MA is this the greatest snow depth on record....not se MA (96 and maybe 05), not Boston (96).....not here (69) and not ORH ('01). It doesn't have to be the greatest. The point is that it is very close to all time records in most areas, NW of PYM. I'm willing to bet parts of the area sw of BOS have 3' OTG. That's epic. Combine that with longevity, and Feb '69 probably could not beat that. We have two more chances next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I honestly don't think that Tues will happen in a significant way.....and I do feel that the bomb will be a hugger, but it still could be a great event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 It is epic...no argument. You're about the numbers, and I understand that. I guess I'm just trying to put into perspective how incredible this winter has been so far. You have the second highest depth in recorded history for your area, with the a snowpack that likely has never been so deep and lasted so long (I don't have the facts so you can check). This statement can apply for most of ern mass. Even in se mass...trade off a few inches of depth, to weeks of longevity. This is what I meant by unprecedented.
