Allenson Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Yes, Thanks, Going to update it.... Always good to get to the triple-digit mark. I see in the tulip thread that there are a few in SNE that are tantalizingly close. Maybe the same thing will happen to the Yankees this year. Almost, but not quite.

simpsonsbuff Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Not everyday that you think it's raining when the blind is closed because all you hear is the dripping. Allenson's got it covered here in H-town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 1 PM total was 12", got that called in to GYX just in time to have it included with their latest obs list. Recorded 10.0" from 7A-1P, with 0.92" LE. (The bucket caught only 0.8", but it also had 3-4" on the rim at one point, probably keeping some flakes from getting for the meltdown. A spot on the Tonneau swept at 10 had 5.5" at noon, heaviest snowfall rates here since 2/23/09, and plenty sufficient to cut off our satellite TV reception. Since 1 the snow has averaged high-moderate, with occasional +SN spurts. Wind still cascading snow out of the trees, but they also still look pretty full. Couple of power blinks, but no worse (yet.) First real overperformer this season, and I'm loving it. About 2" from triple digits as I type - should be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenson Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Twelve for tamarack! Maine's cleaning house today. Closing in on 4" of sugar snow. Still snowing at a moderate clip. Yeah, there's a webcam in Washington, VT about three crow miles from my place (and a couple hundrred feet higher which can make a difference sometimes) looks to be showing about 4-5" on their deck railing. That one band is being pretty persistent over VT right now. Wish that had come through overnight.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattlacroix4 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 11 inches as of 12pm, but we had some more snow blossom over us, so I am going our to measure again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, that's a good point and I never thought of that. The cam updates every few minutes so they must have a good internet connection. I'm not sure who covers that area. Believe it or not, we have high-speed in Corinth through our little local telephone company, Topsham Telephone. People are always amazed that little ol' Corinth has high-speed, lol. Maybe Tops-Tele is in Washington too....

Allenson Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Not much happening in Hanover but the radar and cams are still showing persistent snows just pivoting over VT. Can't wait to get the hell out of work and see what's going on at home. 25 years ago my dad and I installed a heating system in one of the Topsham Telephone buildings. I remember crawling through the attic on an 85F day. That was the last summer I worked for my dad! Oh yeah, we just had what seemed to be the heaviest snow of the day, closing in on 5". 5"--not too shabby at all, all things considered. And an attic on an 85 degree sounds like a barrel of laughs.

MainePhotog Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 8.8" of snow here today. Brought my season total to over 100". Intensity of snowfall was awesome, with visibility at times around 1/16m. Tainted for a while with sleet/snow mix, which kept total down. Here is a HD video from this morning when we were crossing the Carlton Bridge between Woolwich and Bath.

Maybe I'll just mark it down as 11.1" That's what happened to me, measured after compaction. I just put what I measured, figured it's nearly impossible to figure out what it must have been before compaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Almost 6" and still snowing lightly. I'm surprised the band of snow stayed over eastern VT all day. The way things were going, I thought it woulbe done early afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Had another 2.5" between 1 and 4:30, 7:1 snow, so I suspect there was some compacting before I measured. That puts me up to 14.5", with a current dusting from continuing -SN. Evil stuff to snowblow - could only run at the lowest speed. Any faster and the snow just rolled up ahead of the blades. And once moved, the snow packed such as to require a climbover (or the tires dug holes in the driveway gravel.) Current season total at 99.4" - will probably not update 'till Sunday, as I want to have the final total for this event and I'm out of the house 4A-9/10P tomorrow (conference in CON.) And an attic on an 85 degree sounds like a barrel of laughs. The day I chose to insulate the attic in our first home in Ft.Kent, 5/22/77, was also the day that CAR had the hottest reported temp in the US, my favorite "man bites dog" story in wx. Their 96 tied the all time record for the station and beat Phoenix by 1F. Fortunately, I was done by about 11:30 AM, but by then it was near 90 outside and perhaps 140 inside.

klw Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I would say we had around 7 inches here. Maybe a little more before compaction. It has slowed to very light snow in just the past hour. I was able to make it out to a corner of the back yard where I hadn't gotten to all winter and found 20 inches was still on the ground in a large area. All in all a pretty good base where humans and canines did not tramp down the snow. Here are a couple of pictures from around 7ish this evening. I like how in the picture with my dog you can see the pile of snow off my neighbor's roof are still as high as the first floor roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Event totals: 0.3” Snow/0.17” L.E. Friday 4/1/2011 6:00 P.M. update: It seemed to snow most of the day in Burlington, a very wet snow that was flirting with being rain at times; temperatures were too warm for any of it to accumulate however. I watched the weather at the house via web cam, and after the initial 0.3 inches that accumulated this morning, temperatures at this altitude/longitude got too warm during the day for anything else to build up. From what I could tell the snow continued to fall all day as it did in Burlington, but the initial accumulation melted. At 6:00 P.M. I found 0.17” of liquid in the rain gauge, and non-accumulating snowfall continued. In the higher elevations around here the snow accumulated at least a bit better, but even there the accumulation seemed to be a struggle the farther north and west one went. I’ve added the north to south list of accumulations for Vermont resorts that have made afternoon and evening updates for this event; the accumulation at Burke really stands out, presumably due to its eastern location: Burke: 16” Smuggler’s Notch: 2” Stowe: 3” Bolton Valley: 2” Mad River Glen: 2” Sugarbush: 1” Pico: 5” Killington: 5” Magic Mountain: 6” Stratton: 7” Mount Snow: 3” The non-accumulating snowfall continued here into the evening, but at some point after 8:00 P.M. the temperature appears to have dropped to a point that is permitting accumulation down at this elevation. It’s been snowing pretty nicely at times with some larger flakes above ½” in diameter, and as of 10:00 P.M. there’s another 0.6” of snow on the snowboard. Some details from the 6:00 P.M. Waterbury observations are below: New Snow: 0.3 inches New Liquid: 0.17 inches Temperature: 34.5 F Sky: Light Snow (1-3 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 19.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Pretty sweet snowfall for you guys further east... nice pics and video on the last couple pages. There's a pretty tight gradient nearby with mreaves at 6" and klm at 7". Also Burke at 16"! We got nothing today (coating, maybe half inch on previous snow, cold and light surfaces) down in town as it was just too warm. It snowed all day long, pretty much non-stop, but -SN this time of year during the daylight hours does not cut it. Visibility just couldn't get down past 3/4ths of a mile, and seemed to mostly be in the 1--2 mile visibility range. I was mainly at 950ft during the day and we'd get a coating during these 15-minute bursts, then it would slack off again and the coating melts before the next burst replenishes. I bet if you measured after every burst, you may have come up with 2" instead of only a half inch... today's snow would've flown a couple months ago, but certainly not on April 1. Aside from the general lack of just slightly heavier precip rates, temperatures hovered around 34F even at 1,000ft. I know it was mostly 32-33F at 1,500ft but still slightly above freezing for the meat of the day. From 3,000ft and up temperatures remained solidly in the mid 20s all day and accumulations were a drier 2.75" at 4pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
