tamarack Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Another frost this morning, though lighter than yesterday's. The character of the snow, given equal SWE, should be irrelevant, unless powder sublimates wa-a-a-ay faster than paste, and no one has said that. 10" of 10:1 snow has the same LE as 20" of 20:1 snow. While the fluff factor is trumped by SWE, the same pattern that gave my place just 45% avg precip for Feb and Mar could be related to the lack of recent rainfall. However, it's not a groundwater issue in the Northeast, and wouldn't be unless it were to continue all summer. The problem is lack of recent significant rains, for some, at a critical part of the growing season - it's real, but related to the top 4" or so, not the water table.

ORH_wxman Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Wow the wind looks goods too. Good for SOCAL as well. That ULL will eventually give the northern Rockies a huge dumping too...like the Tetons up through the Bighorns and Beartooth ranges....just smoked. The NAM gives them like 2-3 inches of QPF....even Tellruide down in CO gets like 1.5-2". The skier in me cries a little inside everytime I watch these monster snowstorms in spring dump feet and feet of snow on closed ski areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#NoPoles Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 meh, my town's household hazardous waste day is tomorrow, but they don't take latex based paint. proper disposal is to open the cans and dry them out and then they can go in the trash. So, now i have my firewood wagon filled with open paint cans hanging on the patio trying to dry out, and i have to keep an eye on the radar so i can pull the wagon into the garage if it looks like showers...fun times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 15 years ago a I sat up on Bell Rock with a friend and watched a November storm come in form the SW and blanket us with a few inches. Still etched in my memory.
