Morch Madness Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It was a "positive bust" only if you believed the anti snow weenies here. Mt Holly was dead on with their forecast For those north of the city it was a positive bust. Mt Holly had most of Bucks/Montgomery counties at 2-4" and many places ended up with 5"+.

KamuSnow Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Looks great Kamu, do you ever tunnel inside and build a superman like fortress of solitude? Not since I was about 10 years old, with my brothers. Almost got stuck in the tunnel once. We also built a partial igloo one winter with some hard packed snow blocks (like we had last winter). I say partial cuz we never got to the roof part :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yeah I'm not complaining one bit about the type of snow either. It's still good for sledding!! Took my little guy sledding yesterday down a big 'ole sledding hill near us, so the fun continues! Nice - good to get out and enjoy it, especially with your kids....keeps you young!

Kevin Reilly Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 With 3.5 as of a half hour ago, and a couple more hours left, 2-5 might bust low. I too would love to know what the liquid equivalents were across the area 4.4" final total here in Media Delaware County appears to be some erratic totals case in point Springfield 1.6 miles from me 6" and central Brookhaven 6.5" they are 2 miles away had to be the broken nature of the banding moving west to east and then shifting southwest to northeast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard-on-GFS Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 6" in Hamilton Township, NJ! I may have been a bit conservative with that but that's my best guess after taking the average of several flat elevated surfaces. Great event and I'm finally happy to have gotten a 6" storm this year! Average snowpack is 9" in the yard. Hoping to freshen that up tomorrow night! ⛄️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Back home the 4.9" of snow melted to 0.24" liquid. Pretty epic, true 20:1. I must say, that surprised me a bit, I've never quite seen that back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The mid-Feb sun is really going. Roof tops w/4-5" completely gone... It's literal disintegration (sublimation) going on.

BucksCO_PA Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The mid-Feb sun is really going. Roof tops w/4-5" completely gone... this fresh snow has very little water content & will vanish this time of year especially on pitched south facing roofs wet snow, especially wet snow that has froze solid during a cold night will take longer to melt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just mentioning the sun means real business right now and will progressive get worse. I usually give up on daytime events once the 20 - 25th occurs unless a low ceiling, temps in the 20's and heavy rates. Otherwise you're fighting a losing battle and end up w/slop....I'm talking roads not grass etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sunny 40 degree day this time of year will do some damage to the snowpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say, that surprised me a bit, I've never quite seen that back there. Thanks for sharing that Ray so my 4.4" here can be estimated to about .31 at 15:1 or so.

wederwarrior Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 This winter sounds much better when when i can accurately state it's half last winters snow and even colder with just as many events.Would it be safe to say the last few winters have raised expectations a bit? Consistent snow on the ground speaks to the winters score in my mind...but yes the numbers are down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
