wxeyeNH Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 10:10am 25.4F heavy snow. I did not expect this at all. Sleet changed over to heavy snow past 15 minutes. Really cranking!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 We switched over to a moderate snow, all snow, about 10 minutes ago, here in St. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Better snowflakes in AUG than before, still mod snow. Wunderground radar over the past 2.5 hr has shown MBY stuck at 0-15 dbz while places north and south had 20-30. The Route 2 snow deflector remains effective, at least west of BGR. (What's happening is still much to be preferred than the mostly rain event shown 2-3 days ago.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainePhotog Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 The coastal front must be wavering over my head. Temp had leveled off to 34°F, then dropped for a while. Currently at 33°F. When heavy precip occurs, it snows like crazy, big heavy wet flakes. When precip is light, it's back over to rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 No snow at all here. 37 and pouring rain at the moment. The curse of living at the coast. Yep, here on the Portland peninsula it seems to be plain rain - not freezing. Sounds like it may be snow back at the estate, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 11am 26.7F sleet and snow grains. After the heaviest echos past to my east the precip went back to sleet. Some very impressive snow for about 45 minutes that produced about 2" in that time. Total new snow/sleet 2.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Sleet mixed with snow. Heavier precip turns to mostly icy flakes. Checked our Snow Study Areas at 10:30am and found the following: 3,000ft New: 1.3" Depth: 55" 1,500ft New: 1" Depth: 31" Our 1,500ft plot does get a bit effected by the wind, so the total depth is on the conservative side. We are going to build a Wyoming snow fence around the plot next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlacroix4 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Odd storm, back to snow here after 6 minutes of heavy sleet, and the back edge is rapidly approaching. Looks we stay mostly frozen here north of Portland. Net gain! Portland is 36 right now, and I am 25, crazy coastal front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 +SN in AUG last 15 minutes. Temp 9/10/11 was 21/25/30, and flake travel is right to left outside the east-facing window. L-R has a better progosis to stay snow, but we'll see. Probably 2" new, though it's hard to guess from 2nd story. Last Fri I was guessing 5-6" and found 8-9 in the parking lot when I headed home.

powderfreak Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Due to our snowfall numbers for the previous 24 hour period getting recorded at 6am each morning, we are done with snowfall in February, so here are our numbers off the two Snow Study Area snow boards: 3,000ft February Total: 72" Seasonal Total: 246" 1,500ft February Total: 50" Seasonal Total: 142" So 1,500ft elevations in this area are nearing 150" on the season, with near 250" in the higher elevations.

hvysnow79 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Pure sleet the whole way, from top to bottom. Roads weren't too bad though.... Tick-tick-ping! Wife is reporting the all sleet in Orford as well. I see that ASOS at KLEB is having a tough time determining what exactly is falling, you don't see the UP too often.

MainePhotog Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Coastal front is crashing back to the south. Light snow for last half hour and picking up in intensity at this time. Temp currently 32.0°F and falling and winds have turned to the east, where they were south earlier. Even as I look out now, visibility had dropped to 1/4m +SN. What a surprise! ENE 15.0 mph G 25.3 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Just keeps switching back and forth between snow and sleet. Looks like this storm will be all frozen! I see even at 10am, Morrisville-Stowe Airport was down to 1/2 mile vis moderate snow. We are still seeing light snow and sleet mixture but radar seems to suggest this is just about done now. Final looks to be around 1-2" of snow and sleet. Net gain, and the snowpack is even more robust and durable now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Portland has had a mixed bag for a while now. Was straight rain earlier but flakes and sleet have come back into the picture. Glad to hear inland areas got a relative pounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear inland areas got a relative pounding. If anything, what has fell hasn't punished the snowpack much. Unbelievable fluctuation in the temp this morning. Only hope the temp keeps falling now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
