MaineJayhawk Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Was wondering if they were going to pull the trigger now or overnight. SREFs came south ... all guidance indicates we're getting a good snowstorm. Gonna get the sleds ready for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlacroix4 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I can't tell you how perfect this timing is. I will be going with some friends either up Monroe Saturday or the Carters, but looking like the Carters. Going to be a winter wonderland up there.

The 15z SREF is also increasing snowfall probs too. Greater than 8" is now up to 33% for the foothills, with mean 12 hr snowfall around 6" running from Conway through Augusta.

I think we get our normal 9-12 hour thump and with snow ratios marginal that should leave use in that solid 6-9" with some double digit lollipops.

J.Spin Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 And snow core. 5.3" of water in 25" of depth. Decent amount of rain water in there from the weekly rainstorms we got through December. I was curious about what we had here at the house, so I ran an analysis this evening and found 1.43” of liquid in the snowpack, which is at a depth of 4.5”. Not surprisingly, the snow here is a bit denser than up at 3,000’. I recorded 1.24” of total liquid at this location from the December 27th-28th storm, so that is clearly a major component of the snowpack. There shouldn’t be anything going on tonight in terms of precipitation, so I’ll send the snowpack data in with my CoCoRaHS report in the morning. If I have time I’ll try to do another one next week to see how it’s changed. It would be nice to have one of those snow samplers though – that looks pretty slick. BTV actually has a page on how to make one. In an average winter season at 3,000’ around here, I bet you would eventually be pushing the limits with only a 5-foot tube on your sampler. I did one last quick snow board check and so the totals for this minor event will be as follows:3,000ft High Road: 1.8" (25" snow depth) 1,500ft Barnes Camp: 1.0" (8" snow depth) Here at 800ft it looks like 0.4" and there's around 5.5" of snow on the ground. Here at the house today at 500ft we picked up 0.2” of snow, comprised of a trace of liquid; that seems to fit in pretty nicely with the elevation trend of your accumulations.

red Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 After reading the AM CAR discussion it seems like they are going to go advisory instead of WSW. they're calling for 3-5 up this way. not great but I'll take it and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
