ok maybe it's right...40 years ago I would have gone there and measured it myself...not now at my age lol...

 

 

Being in the woods makes a huge difference in terms of retention, which I'm guessing it is. Around here, there's 4-8" in the woods, and only a couple inches in the open.

I have about 2-3" left...Central Park is still reporting 8" as of this morning...LGA reported 3" this morning...Central Park has been stuck on 8" for a week now...That can't be right?...

Hard to stick a ruler into a glacier. I am guestimating about a 5" pack where I am but measuring would be tough, especially with drifting before it froze with the ice/rain.

Snowpack starting to get that dirty look so a refresher would be nice.

Agreed that some spots especially away from the sun are fully covered and those in direct sunlight are less. We've had a few above freezing days like today for example that have affected those sun facing spots more.

I'm sure the sun angle is beginning to play a greater role in melting and certainly will in the next 2 weeks.
