Cold Miser Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 3.25" new here total Nice. What is your total this season so far down on the island? Snow banks on the streets of Newport going to stick around for St. Paddy's Day festivities? Edit. Never mind. I just saw your signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 1.5" for me in North Waterboro, ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 ORH is up to 115.6"...not nearly as close as BOS to the record, but within striking distance of the record which is 132.9" in 1995-1996. But 17.4" from here on out is certainly doable for them...esp since they are more prone to late season paste job. Still going to be a tall task though if we have to waste a week in the middle of March with no threats. I need 17" even....I'd say 20 percent chance. Too bad this winter morphed into 2010 for me.

NeonPeon Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I've got to ask, why would t.v. care about some random backyard snow record? Serious question but what is up with you and this anyway? You mentioned having press around for breaking the Boston record, etc. Why, how and who do you know in the press that would care about something so trivial outside of this forum? Are you a politician? You've never watched local ri news then. They lead with a cat in a tree on some days. In terms of fluff factor, this isn't even that high a stl ratio. It's practically hard hitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it's bad when even melt water from just solar insolation creates ponding. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 2". Weak. Same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Another underperformer, like every event since 2/2, though at least this one was close, forecast 3-5" and got 2.4" from 0.29" LE. It almost all fell in 3 hr, 9-midnight, and ended with a tiny bit of fzdz, just enough to make a perceptable little crust. If we get PC and 40, pack will be right back to pre-storm (at least.)

Lava Rock Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Dense snow. No ratios to save us. or less qpf then thought? Did SNE have better ratios or just more qpf? For once this season, I'd like to get an overperformer, but not looking likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Dense snow. No ratios to save us. Right. We had the most LE of any storm since 2/2 and a bit more than I anticipated, given gfs qpf. Had it featured the 20:1 ratios I've measured most of Feb, it would've overperformed, not under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Sure it looks sexy to have higher numbers, but 20:1 fluff in March will melt fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once this season, I'd like to get an overperformer, but not looking likely. I'm not comparing to SNE, just saying that we likely over-forecast ratios. Taking the climo average (12-13:1) up here was probably not the best solution. I don't think our forecast represented less than 10:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Just running back through our forecast. We had a general 0.25 to 0.35 inches QPF, and 3 to 4 (lolli 5) inches snowfall forecast. That's ratios between 11 and 13 to 1. From reports I'm seeing this morning, it's more like 8 to 1 or less, in addition to a little less QPF than expected.

I didn't do a core sample, but even when the better lift come in here, the flakes were avg at best...just a more dense snow I guess that fell with higher DBZ and not necessarily better flakes.

backedgeapproaching Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 1.5 snow/sleet. mild underperformer..again. Did put me over 100".

Well, I'm more concerned about amassing 17" additional on the season, TBH. Guess what? Packs aren't going to be sustained much longer, regardless.

This time of year, I'd rather be 45 w clouds, than 38 with sun. The sun does more damage than anything....aside from very high dews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we're rotting near 0C at 850 most of the day...if we broke the clouds with a good breeze, a lot of places would probably spike to near 50F...but prbably not gonna happen.

Up here we'll be mostly spared because this first push the dews are dropping. Not a snow-eater type air mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
