MaineJayhawk Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Last day at Wachusett. Sad to see them close with side to side coverage on 21 of 22 trails. Plenty of snow left We actually were some of the last few people to ride up the lift (maybe 3rd or 4th last chair). Bluebird skies, warmish temps... very fun. From the summit you could see the slopes at Stratton Mt 67 miles away! Cool Congrats on reaching your goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 60-61 also had the early ending, but it was a better winter with more extreme cold and 3 KU events, all of which delivered 18"+ here. The arctic outbreak in late January 1961 was epic. Many places in NNJ had 40" snow depths after the 2/4 storm and over 100" seasonal total. This is a SNE thread though as Will said not as spectacular, sort of like comparing 09/10 NJ to SNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to get together next year! SR is wide open, must be sweet and soft. Wish I had some time off, would be a great April trip, but have to save some time for July 4 th camping week, conference and the August week in RI. So ready for baseball, women's team I coach looks great this year, looking to repeat. Might have Ginxed myself but snowblower went into storage this morning.

ORH_wxman Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Out of context as the discussion was between Jerry and I about NJ and SRI. 60-61 isn't that different from this winter here...both were pretty awesome. Snow totals not far off. This year definitely beats 60-61 on the coastal plain of SNE...no doubt about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a hell of an impressive snow thump on the GFS...but it doesn't have much support from NAM or Euro. SREFs a little more encouraging but not like GFS.

Mr Torchey Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 My head is not wrapped around snow, but just looking at goofus, WOW 850s look good enough, and with very low dew points could totally see interior sne get a nice thumping late tonight into tomorrow morning!!

nzucker Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Yea interior got smoked, similar ending, what were Teleconnections like? +NAO, huge 50/50 low, big +PNA/-EPO. The +NAO was so big it lowered heights in the 50/50 region and allowed for a lot of coastals, pseudo-blocking pattern even with low heights over Greenland. Negative neutral ENSO year...

Wow nice, quite a kitchen soup. LR is such a crapshoot, wonder what the solar cycle was like, beginning to believe more and more that the big ole star is way understood in weather prediction.

I'm booked until April 18, when it is school vacation, but by then almost everywhere is planning on being closed. Any idea when SR closes? hmmmmmmm I might move the snowblower tomorrow... have not used it in a while (late Feb?) Did not even shovel/snowblow Friday with 8". When I got home from work, my driveway was pretty much just wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Mud season has begun down in Stowe village at 800ft and it looks like its going to get worse over the next 36 hours. Hopefully we can pick up 2-3" of snow before the rain tomorrow. Snowpack hanging in there for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 This is a SNE thread though as Will said not as spectacular, sort of like comparing 09/10 NJ to SNE Wrong Steve. Most of SNE did beautifully in 1960-61 and when I first moved here at age 22, local weenies my age considered that the benchmark. SRI may have been subpar but the vast majority of SNE did very well. I think ACK had 30+ in the Feb 61 storm. 1960-61 totals in SNE: BDL: 80.2 PVD: 62.7 BOS: 61.5 ORH: 104.3 That year had more snow for ORH, similar for BDL, 20% more for PVD, 25% less for BOS. If you factor in the cold and the size and extent of KU coverage it was arguably a better year if you factor in modern snow measuring which yields way bigger totals vs yesteryear.

I think ACK had 30+ in the Feb 61 storm. March 1960. '60-'61 was epic in the interior, but from your area to Ray down to S RI...essentially most of the coastal plain...it was merely a very good winter. Not epic. Now if you include the March 1960 storm, then the one year period from Mar 1960 to Mar 1961 was epic...even on the coastal plain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you factor in the cold and the size and extent of KU coverage it was arguably a better year or at least similar. Again we were talking about personal experiences, you said I would have liked 60/61 better. I said not where I was at the time. Also show me some depths of 38 inches at any other place besides ORH.

Will, totals at the major climo sites suggest it was not as good along the east coast but similar along the S coast and better in the interior (or at least similar).

Also show me some depths of 38 inches at any other place besides ORH. Apples and oranges to me I don't think snow depth measurements are all that accurate and I don't look at them. But given the fact that places like ACK had 16 inches 1/20 and 14.4 2/4 and it was subfreezing in between with some sub zero nights I have to figure there was some widespread deep snow.
