HoarfrostHubb Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I can see parts of my lawn where I snowblowed the walkway/edge of the driveway. Otherwise 100% covered 6-10" Also, the top of the septic tank is clear. Glad you wanted to know that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdxken Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Looks like the final damage was solid here, but we hung on pretty good. We lost a bit more since I took those pics last night...today was pretty mild, but at least the dews were low. Here's a few pics at sunset....the last pic you can see Wachusett through the trees. impressive. The rain did serious damage here, I have (sherborn not brighton) maybe 3 in the fields and 6 in the woods. I'll take it however, any year I get up around 100" is a good year..

powderfreak Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 oops forgot the pics.. left1.jpg left2.jpg Man that shaded drift in the corner of the house is definitely a weenie patch of snow haha. That's probably the last spot to melt huh? As a kid I used to shovel our deck and pile it all in the north-facing corner....would last like 7-10 days longer than any other pile or snow on our property haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Here's that visible shot today Really defined area of solid coverage in ORH county...you can see some of it extending back to KEvin in NE CT but its thinner and more sporatic there...like on weenie hills such as Kevin's. And there's def a weenie area of snow SW of BOS in that Blue Hill region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing what shade will do, as a kid I used to go to Ruggles Mine in NH for my birthday (June) and inside the mine they always had snow..love it.

CoastalWx Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 How about NE CT? You could see it, but looked very thin. The areas near ORH and just to my south stuck out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I have been meaning to ask, do small changes in elevation make a difference? by small I mean a couple hundred feet. I have a big hill on my property and it seems to but I have never been sure. Here's the hill: http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lon=-71.3922821&lat=42.2417633&datum=nad83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never forget the difference in snow I saw in Hyde Park during the day of 3/31/97. Sometimes when the temp profile is borderline at the surface and cold aloft, the temp decreases rapidly with height. 200' can mean almost 1F.

I think there's about a 200' difference is between Somerset Ma and Stoughton. I remember driving up rte 24 during some spring storms that would be cold rain in Somerset and then be snow in Stoughton.

The first part is just an incline near my house but at 42-45 seconds you can see the elevation of the big hill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downtown ORH is like a different world compared to up on the north side here right now...a good amount of bare grass showing...but up here almost 100% cover.

Yeah but at least summer in Boston is amazing...lots of highs in the 70s and 80s and not nearly as much as 90s with humidity stink as to the southwest.
