J.Spin Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Event totals: 2.4” Snow/0.17” L.E. There was 0.13” in the snow core from this evening, but 0.16” in the rain gauge, so there may have been a bit of liquid that fell as rain in this event as PF mentioned earlier. Details from the 6:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 2.1 inches New Liquid: 0.13 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 16.2 Snow Density: 6.2% H2O Temperature: 29.5 F Sky: Mostly Cloudy Snow at the stake: 13.5 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klw Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Nice shots Eyewall! I completely forgot to look at the sky last night. .6 overnight brings me to 99.9 inches on the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah very similar situation at Sugarbush. Judging from my experiences, The Forerunner does seem more burly than Bravo or Gate House, feels like it has just a ton of more power. Either way today will go down as one of the windiest days I have ever skied; in fact, I think the only place I've seen windier is on Chair 23 next to the Mammoth saddle! The sheer blast of air in the exposed places today did feel like a Sierran ridge gust following a strong cold front. Gusts near 40 at my sheltered location, judging by house creaks. Only time I experienced a wind closure while skiing was in Fort Kent back in March, 1980, and it wasn't due to the uphill transport - not often to get a wind hold on a rope tow. However, one gust lifted a slightly built adult off the intermediate trail and into a tree. He was not badly hurt (knee) but opted for a toboggan ride anyway. When the manage heard about it, things shut down immediately. (Two days later, Route 1 traffic between PQI and CAR was still being diverted to a potato field east of the highway due to well packed 15' drifts atop the pavement.)

ApacheTrout Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thank you. It was a small window before clouds moved back in. The usual in VT lol. Ain't that the truth! I've learned to be hopeful, but not too excited. I saw similar conditions down here in Orwell last night. The sky was noticeably brighter, tinged green, and there were hints of red hanging in the sky that disappeared if you looked too closely at them. And just when I thought I had a handle on what I was seeing, a bank of clouds skittered across the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Not sure John, Oceanstwx probably can answer this better then i can, I'm pretty sure they should be close to the top of the list if not number 1 i would think based on there ongoing snowfall all season Just saw a facebook post by a cocorahs observer from Eastport, stating that total snowfall was "14 feet 7.4 inches", including 5.7" from the latest event. My top winter (1976-77) in Ft. Kent had 186.7", and EPO is less than a foot away from beating that, about 23" from topping CAR's record 2007-08.

That is impressive if my maths right 175.40", Its possible they could top Ft Kent, There next shot is Saturday at adding to there total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 That is impressive if my maths right 175.40", Its possible they could top Ft Kent, There next shot is Saturday at adding to there total That FK number is my unofficial total on West Main Street; I also had 185.8" in 1981-82 in the back settlement 450' higher than in town. Record for the coop at the water company site is 171.2" in 1954-55, so the EPO cocorahs has gone by that one. CAR's record is 197.8"; somehow, FK had 40" less that winter (which I don't believe is valid, but I've ranted before about FK's snowfall numbers.)

dendrite Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah I'm surprised at how consistently strong the wind has been. Even overnight the ASOS sites we're cranking some strong gusts so it's not entirely a late March daytime mixing deal. 18.9F right now. 3 years ago today it was a little warmer.

The college basketball tournament is when I start thinking spring. Still hoping for one more good snow storm, but the fat lady is definitely warming up.

Still hoping for one more good snow storm, but the fat lady is definitely warming up. If you'd have been up here this week you know that it doesn't matter if she's fat or thin, she needs to warm up. Dry, cold and windy I'm sick of static shocks and chapped lips. Either gimme some more snow or melt it, this is boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
