wx2fish Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 About 12" up here at Newfound Lake in Central NH. Temperatures today stayed in the single numbers and as of 5pm is -1F. Winds were blowing mostly in the 30''s all day, my Davis recorded a high gust of 36mph. Lake is obviously frozen and shore roads along the southern side had a ground blizzard going all day. Forget 1/4 mile visabilities on some stretches it was down to 25 feet at times. Here is a short video I took driving along the lake. That lake gets crazy on NW-NNW wind.

N. OF PIKE Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Nice Vid of the drive by the Big Lake! That visibility illustrates why a Ground Blizzard can be so dangerous /accidents.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathercoins Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Just spent two hours outside. I am just in awe. Amazing. Getting dangerously cold right now and had to go in, but just amazing. Took a ridiculous video of the wind and snow coming off the frozen Charles. Will probably never see anything like this again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. OF PIKE Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 How much does it have to snow per week just to maintain the 39" pack ? lol do I need daily refreshers of like 2-4" or more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 WOW note in the article , officers cited a "snow squall". No snow squalls at 245pm today (time of accident) more like from BLowing snow reducing visibility in that area. Wonder if the open "area" to the right ( west) of that south bound lane at exit 27 was really catching a good amount of wind and blowing that drifting snow onto the road producing some slick road conditions See the ice near the crashed car? I had a friend telling me when they cleared this fluff they exposed under some of the banks that were left haphazard last time. Ice sheets next to travel lanes is a bad combo.

Yukon Cornelius Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Doesn't get any better than this for winter bliss around here. Spent a couple hours walking around in the woods after clearing off the driveway. My wife laughed and looked at me like I had two heads when I told her that I'm heading out into the woods for a walk.

dryslot Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Unbelievable, more snow in Boston and the western suburbs than northern Maine and Vermont. Those areas don't get as much atlantic influence, Winds are howling, Several gust in the mid 40's and we just cracked 50, 51 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highest I recorded was 26mph. Undoubtedly they are much stronger, but I don't think we had much of anything over 40. 2.9/-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 2" Beats my 1.5", as usual (this year.) I got more from the Jan 3 mixed/mess event, but for the next 11 events on your sig, LEW beat New Sharon every time, and those events totaled 66.5" there (assuming I added right), and 45.9" at my place. Hard to justify complaints, though, with season snowfall now just 2" away from my annual avg, and the almost certain shattering of some monthly cold records this Feb. Edit: That snow depth map looks like it was posted upside down. Ft. Kent under 12" and lowest in ME/NH, while eastern MA has 4X as much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about the same as VT east of the Spine, but I figured the foothills and western coastal plain spots would've been around 3 feet. The highest snowpack in the state of Maine was literally on the coastline. Very rare I'm sure to have the beaches with more snow than the foothill towns.
