met_fan Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Nice area up there..That Old Lodge on the hill there was an awesome view. How much snow do you have on the ground? I measured 26" at my place down in the middle of town on Thursday...just got back into town last night, so haven't checked since then, but looks like we've lost a few inches since then. There must be some some pretty good depths up on the hill - the town is around 200', so there's a 1000' change in elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duality Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Rainy night in Georgia, congrats to all those that got pasted. Rain continues. Tough to go through this 3 day bitter cold snap with nasty old crusty snow. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 No, we haven't had any stalled '78 type storms...or Dec '92 type storms. Its extremely difficult to get over 2" of liquid equivalent snow. The Jan 12th storm though dumped about 1.5" of liquid equivalent over most of the region which was very impressive for a 12-15 hour storm. I hate that NOAA has dumped W.E. from the PNS when it's available. I never saw a wrap, wasn't sure on the totals. 78 and 97 are still my favorites. 2005 was good, and these storms this year have been nutty even here....let's hope it recharges and we get one 2 day storm. I REALLY miss those more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Will, can you post that snow depth chart you like or provide a link. TIA Its not always the most accurate...it sometimes over estimates depth where the water equivalent is very high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 That's a pretty decent ratio, on par with 78 back there. Hartford was 13.1 in 78. I think you'll easily get what you need to break 100". The pattern has changed no doubt, but there's going to be plenty of 3-6/4-8 type events and maybe a gale here or there. It's gonna be a long 10 days -2 weeks of waiting though. We've had such an active period since DEC 26th that it's really gonna be boring ..esp once it gets into the 40;s next week. As long as it's brutally cold thru Saturday it's fine..cold and dry is good...but I am not looking forward to next week at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Some pretty insane snow depth gradients in RI and SE MA...Burrillville, RI prob has near 30" on the ground while 30 miles SE has only a few inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which--do you have a lawn thread started? I'll need to post some questions. Also, as soon as this snow melts, I'm gonna be on a tear taking down trees. I have 15-20 tagged to bring down this year. Given how much wood I went through this year, I'm gonna just dive right in and start sawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most exposed areas are 20-24". There are some sheltered areas still up near 3', but in general its a 26-28" snow pack here right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of snow/cold to come March? This snowpack is going to get deeper in March. Maybe Mid/late April you should fire it up. This Winter isn't going to go out with a whimper. It's going to go down swinging. Book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I think 12/26-12/27 had a lot of qpf for KBOS. I'll have to look back, but I think it had more qpf then the 1/12 event. 12/26 had some relatively wet "dry" snow with pretty high water equivalent. This winter sure has been great. It's a little too early for me to throw out things like "winter of my life" since it's only early February, but a top 3 winter so far. I reserve to judge it in about 6-8 weeks from now. If it goes to the crapper from here on out, it will be somewhat of a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be fairly surprised if I can't muster up 20.3" from here on out....climo is like 29-30". Not a lock, but pretty favorable to reach it. If we get another terrible March, then I'll probably fall short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Winter isn't going to go out with a whimper. It's going to go down swinging. Book it. Remember last March? Summer started then last year.

I bet our snowcover is deeper than much of Eastern Canada so we also have that in our favor. Maybe the models aren't compensating for that next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man..that was awful last year. last yr we had 0.0 snow here, first time in history in march wont be happening this yr heavy snow, i agree with MRG pack will continue to build, my weenie forecast up here is to stay cold through the end of march similar to 1992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
