Sugarloaf1989 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Still around 50% snow cover remaining in Enfield, most of this will probably make it into April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 The cover we were told would be wiped out by many here by April 1 looks likely to be in place. What a winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I don't know. I see that in NH a lot too. There's some of it around here too in a few spots. Why wouldn't they just dispose of the garbage like most people..put the tires away..bring the old cars to the junkyard..etc etc.. I honestly just don't understand.. It has to be they are just flat out slobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whineminster Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I don't know. I see that in NH a lot too. Northern Maine is the worst for that. Was pounding parachutes at 33 deg. at home. Here in FIT, just rain and 37. Still full pack in my area except for some south facing slopes and highway medians. I'd guess 8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 do you guys count 50 pct as a snow pack day? I would...I mean this time of year snow cover varies considerably. Just because someone's front yard has grass doesn't mean the pack is gone. It's pretty much 100% here still. My soccer field across the street which gets sun from pretty much dawn to dusk is 100% covered still. I probably have 4-12 in the front. 6-16 in the back.

Well to hoard is one thing..if they want to keep everything. But why can't they hide things. If I lived near someone that did that. I would have to move..Honestly. I get so angry when i drive by a place like that. I lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 0.25" RA at my place, and 22" at the stake this morning, so less damage than I thought would occur. Sandy River ice remains firm, untl the next one.

Well I've only been as far north as Baxter S.P., and that seems like northern Maine to me. I tend to forget half the state is still above that haha.

It has to be they are just flat out slobs Sometimes it's about money and practicality. It costs money to dispose of stuff and some people just don't have it. They need the tires to get to work and the extra $50 it would costs to dispose of them properly but use it for food. Other times someone sees a product that they can make use of.

Haha yeah, I don't see much of that up here, and in Vermont in general. But its always been something I've noticed between Upstate NY and Vermont... Vermonters as a whole seem to take more care of their properties than adjacent New York for whatever reason. Whenever I drive from Albany, NY to up here, a lot of rural NY seems to have the same issue to garbage and run down cars on cinder-blocks, etc. Then I get into VT and instead of a pile of tires in the yard, someone has used the tires as a planting bed and created a nice landscape project. It just has the feel of folks who take more pride in their property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to forget half the state is still above that haha. When we moved to Fort Kent in 1976, family in NNJ heard "Northern Maine" and asked if that meant north of PWM. We said that when you get to there, you're almost halfway. Cloudy, 30s, might still be dz in Augusta. Snowbanks that were crowding the paved walkways last week are now pulled back a couple yards, though the lawns are 95% covered still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet almost all of us (even Blizz), has a "back area" where they pile some old crap they don't need. Old rims, old boards or pieces of pipe you might need, pieces of chicken wire fencing, etc. Typically its behind your garage or shed...out back in the woods....ya'll know what I'm talking about. It's just that some people take it to the extreme and it takes over his/her entire yard. The funny thing is....you always see these people poking around at stuff in the yard, having constant burn piles, etc......but nothing ever gets done or cleaned up lol.

Whineminster Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Just because you have some materials left over from doing a project, doesn't mean its "junk" and you should just throw it away.... What if you have some left over fencing from enclosing a garden? Wouldn't it make sense to store it behind the garage in case a branch falls on a section in a screaming sou'easter? That way you can replace a section or a piece, rather then spend $50 on a new roll at the depot when you only need a small amount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 wow, still deep deep winter up there. I just want one powder day up north this year , feel like they've been few and far between this winter up north. Yeah, been a little below average snowfall (J.Spin's data confirms this in the NNE thread), but we've still done alright with over 260" at the 3,000ft stake. The equivalent of 26 days with 10" of new snow...so there have been powder days. The problem for folks planning ski days is that most of these are "under-the-radar" storms so to speak. People have no idea they will happen and have no idea it did happen. Most of our powder days don't come with big ticket storms, with Winter Storm Warnings and all the hype of a big storm. Often times those can even be a bit of a let-down. Our best powder days can come with just a weak shortwave moving overhead, or a clipper that for all purposes *should* be just 1-3" based on models, however the orographics just go to town and you end up with 10" overnight on a forecast for 1-3". Then for those big ticket synoptic storms, you'll get 10" out of a forecast for 8-16". I find those tend to be under-whelming due to the hype, while those "surprises" are the best. Its always nice to know that in today's information age, you can still get surprise snowstorms. Up here you can still get that feeling you got as a kid when you woke up and looked out the window and were like "whoa" where'd that come from?
