powderfreak Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Here's a wider view for more of New England in context...Newry is the red spot Good view, thanks again. They are pretty much parallel with me here in Stowe it looks, as I'm on the same line as BTV-BML axis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Thanks guys, I don't know why I was thinking it was down more adjacent to North Conway area...but I must've been thinking of Bridgton (another oft mentioned spot on the boards). Good to clear that up. Bridgton is home to Shawnee Peak, so definitely another favorable snow spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Little sleet coating Here too but over to all snow. Gonna need to come down a lot harder though at 33F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Good view, thanks again. They are pretty much parallel with me here in Stowe it looks, as I'm on the same line as BTV-BML axis. That map more than anything reminds me how ridiculously far north the rest of Maine gets...they are a different world up there. In the context of just the state of Maine, Sunday River looks pretty south...but then you line it up with the rest of NE and see that its the same latitude as your area and the NH panhandle and you think "damn, Maine goes pretty far north".

powderfreak Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Now that I know some of the towns, based on radar it looks like Waterford and South Oxford, Norway, and Greenwood are getting absolutely pounded on radar. Maybe even some TSSN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Well I am getting ready to go to bed. 28.6F very light snow at the moment. 5.75". Looks like the second half about to move in. Will I stay all snow??? If I do could be the biggest of the season, have not had a foot storm this season. This even has been fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really have to avoid using the term "north" at all because very little of our population considers themselves as living in northern parts of Maine.

ORH_wxman Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 3 New dumping Sweet...that first batch was like 2-3 inch per hour stuff it looks like.

Its true, haha. To think I'm one county south of Canada, and similar to northern NH (north of the Presidential Range), and that this latitude is still only the southern third of Maine is pretty wild. I took a class at UVM about small community ski areas and their operations, so we spent a few weeks visiting spots in Maine from Rumford/Black Mountain in the SW, all the way up to some spots near Caribou and Fort Kent. Spent a week in Fort Kent and that was a pretty cool little town. For one, the snowpack was huge as we went in March, but the vast open spaces was impressive. Tons of fields and treeless areas with incredible blowing and drifting. I just remember the fields would be almost bare but the woodlines would have like legit 20 foot waves of snow drifts. Very cool country up there...but man you are a long way from anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Its fun having you up there Ginxy...adds some more interest to the event than what we normally have. And nice that Will is going up too, as he has a vested interest in what happens too. More lively discussion than a normal NNE type event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Moderate snow now, starting to coat. Mix of cat paws and smaller flakes. Radar looks like we get a fun few hours. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And nice that Will is going up too, as he has a vested interest in what happens too. More lively discussion than a normal NNE type event. Yeah, I've been feverishly rooting for a nice paste bomb for SR out of this one and the big one last week...its easier to do also when you don' thave much of a shot at anything at home. Though even if ORH had a shot at 6" in this one, I wouldn't root against a north trend that much since I'm going to SR in 2 days and want to fresh snow there, haha. Saturday looks like a nice classic NNE clipper too...with a stripe of 2-4/3-5 from your area over to SR. I'll be out skiing in that one, so I've been following both. This system is interesting anyway though even if I wasn't headed up...its almost convective. You look at the radar and it doesn't look like anywhere in New England is snowing...it looks like a May or June late season upper low moving in from the west firing off thundershowers and heavy rain.

powderfreak Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Quite the spread in p-types across the region... -SN at 32F here. Whats really interesting is the mix/pink showing up in the downslope areas on SE flow...like immediately north of the Whites, and the western slopes of the Greens.

That's going to really produce some high rates at times. Just convective look to everything, and that first batch proved 2-3 per hour is totally a possibility.

Every now and then, a blind squirrel...err the NAM...finds a nut. I guess if the NAM was gonna score a coup, it is fitting that its a convective system like this.

dryslot Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Out of curiosity, where exactly is Sunday River located in the GYX CWA? My ski resort geography fails me in NH and ME for the most part. Is it in the southern part of the NW most county in Maine? Near the NH border? Where those yellow/moderate echos are? Right where it's ripping on radar.

OceanStWx Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 oh no when I thought things were looking so good, mixing with freezing rain 28.6F I'm not so sure that a permanent thing. Dual-pol shows it is just a patch of warmth aloft, maybe associated with a drier snow growth zone. But that's not to say you don't occasionally taint tonight.

OceanStWx Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Right where it's ripping on radar. Lol Sunday River just shared our latest Facebook post and reported 3-4" new so far, right in line with our own roving reporter Ginxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
