Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Did some of you guys eat a lot of paint chips as kids? These threads have been wild lately. We should really focus on the heavy virga on the islands and the fleeting flakes a few people in the hobbit hills may see over the next week.

This has to be one of the worst years for snowpack retention around here that I can recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 This is one of the best late season retention airmasses ever. Not sure we've had any significant melting up here since the last storm, outside of the paved surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 How many years do you normally have snow OTG March 23, 1 out of 20? Yeah but lots of rain and thaws this winter in between snowfalls, often quickly following right behind. 22" of snow melted here in 4 days, thats not normal. It was hard to enjoy any of the snow this winter as it was often water logged and then frozen solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Not sure we've had any significant melting up here since the last storm, outside of the paved surfaces. About 50% of our snow melted here since yesterday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/8/1/014036/ Haven't time to dig deeper now but one is forced to wonder if that study is broken out into quadrature, because do I believe that is true for N/A on whole, which continues to register warm anomalous months the majority of times over the last 10 years. They do say "northern continents" in their abstract so perhaps they don't include the contiguous U.S. in their study... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I was in Marshfield yesterday which is north of Plymouth but no peepers there. Still had snow though so maybe part of the reason. Pretty late to not have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Not sure we've had any significant melting up here since the last storm, outside of the paved surfaces. Really?

Yeah, we compacted down to 6" after the snowfall, and were still at 4" today. Just a slow trickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Same, Wors't i have seen Yeah, 2010-2011 was much better around here for building up a snowpack. Overcast and 34F here with radar showing snow overhead, but nothing is making it to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost a good 6" the 1st couple days after and has been melting since, Might be able to get the 1st crop of hay off that hill in a couple of weeks.........lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overcast and 34F here with radar showing snow overhead, but nothing is making it to the ground. 2010-2011 was probably a once in 30 year type snow pack for your area...possibly even rarer.. Its a bad benchmark to use as something "normal" but it happened so recently that everyone remembers it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 This is one of the best late season retention airmasses ever. Yeah its been amazing...this isn't March 5th where we are holding onto a glacier...we are almost in April and the melt has been pretty darn slow with almost zero melting during multiple days in the past week alone. Easily the best 2nd half of March I've ever witnessed for snow pack retention. 2001 had a higher snow pack at this point, but it started so obscenely high after the first week of March.

HoarfrostHubb Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 This was an odd year for snowpack here. We really only lost it for a couple of days (never 100% gone) prior to the Feb 9 non-blizzard. (since Dec 26 until then), then steady since then. But it never got really deep. I don't recall the max depth. Maybe 20" at one point? Nothing crazy Edit - prob 24" max depth...

As of today, still plenty in woods and shaded spots which is impressive for south shore. Even here plenty in shady area and piles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
