DomNH Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I still have 2-3'' of complete snowpack in the back yard and 8-12'' in the front yard (thanks to snowblower piles). Disgusting, dirty snow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just looking at it from a homeowner standpoint. Unless, you have widespread snow, then I suppose that's different. Any snow is good snow.

ski MRG Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Still holding the snow here on the East Slope of the Berkshires but the snowpack has certainly been under assault.

Once I'm up there I'll get a good dose of Winter mainlined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of early for bare ground in the higher elevations of NW/NE CT. Snow pack has been taking a beating for over a week now. I had over 20" at the beginning of the month and now there's grass patches showing up in the exposed spots while the more sheltered areas are down to 6-8" of cement...with a few really sheltered areas holding onto 18-20" bricks. But even in the past 10 days there's been a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sad, but the pattern looks remarkably dreary these days. Terrible +NAO with zonal Pacific flow across all of the United States. I'm sure your area will get a couple more snow events, but we need a severe pattern change to bring snow down to the coastal plain at this point; this seems unlikely given that the strong La Niña appears to have broken the back of high-latitude blocking in late January.

Thanks for the pep talk. My focus is now AK although I would be astonished if more snow didn't fall here before the season was truly over. Hey, it's snowing now.

moneypitmike Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Returned from Iowa last night. Nice to see the snow has held on during the four days I was away. It's pretty dirty though. All the crap that had blown off the trees at various stages between storms becomes more intense as the snow from those storms gradually melts. Off to Maine now to move furniture. Ugh. 31.6/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
