Hopefully we can see how much snow is at the stake. But don't worry, at least we have tons of high pressure nosing in from se Canada over the next 10 days.

wxmanmitch Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Some nice elevated convection around here with downpours and some decent lightning and thunder.

HoarfrostHubb Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Where is your work, south of home? There was and is no snow in the point/click forecast here this morning, hopefully those heavier echos coming are frozen for a bit longer. Also, it would be sad if the seasonal snow totals here were lower than CT. Maybe a small accumulation to boost that up? lol Today: Rain. High near 43. South wind around 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. I work in Leominster, which is ESE of my house, but about 700' lower in el. It actually came down pretty nicely around 10:00AM or so. Huge heavy flakes that were falling really fast, to be replaced by huge lazy parachutes. Whitened some surfaces for a few minutes, but was quickly gone. Some parts of CT did amazingly well wrt snowfall. Around my house a little above avg.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Had a few flashes and rumbles the past 30 minutes. RA/RA+ 40/38.5 Had light snow and sleet accumulation this morning. Great, another .25" to add to my seasonal total. As Scott and Ray said above - these are the types of days that make me done with winter and ready for spring!

weatherMA Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 No snow/sleet here today...just off/on downpours with even a few lightning flashes...at 42F. Absolute downpour right now...lol at the nam yesterday giving me less then .1 qpf. Don't have a gauge but it must be at least .5". Just had a house shaking thunder as I typed this.

If 76" is my average, I was at 116%... so yeah, a little above. Lot's of SNE folks were at 150% or even higher. Great for them. I'll show them next year, and they will all be sorry! Although 2009-2010, I was right around average and many were below so I should have been happy. Wonder if there is still any snow in my yard after this rain...

Someone who averages 40" can get 150% by going to 60"...if you are +20", then you are only about 125% above average and need something like 110-115" to get to 150% above avg. But even taking that into account, the more impressive anomalies were south of you and to the east along the CP. Even where I am just to your south and still with some decent elevation was about 28-30" above average. I estimate your 76" average from the Ashburnham coop with very good records which averages 78" per year...they are at 1140 feet though and a little north of your latitude, so I think you'd be a couple inches short of them.

I ended up +24" from average this year, which is like 130% or so. I think you got more in 1/12, (like 20" vs, 17", although I might have under measured), 4/1 (3.8 vs. 6.8) and 2/25 where I think I started with 1.5" before rain and you got like 3". Those are the 3 events I can think of that led to my 88.7" total being about 9-10" lower then yours. Of course, there were probably some more elevation dependant events as well that led to maybe a half inch greater for you or something, but those are the main ones I can think of.

Yeah, I bet Winchedon, Gardner, Templeton get a bit more than me due to a few miles difference and maybe more upsloping? Hubbardston seems a bit flat compared to some of the surrounding towns, too, even if the el is ok. Westminster has some neat elevation changes on Rte 2 and I love when I enter snows around there on the ride home, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
