mreaves Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 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? And yet, if you could guarantee me full coverage form late November through the end of March, with no major meltdowns again, I would take it in a heartbeat. I am always happy to get more snow but am even happier to retain it in a useful manner like we have this year. Nearly perfect in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 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. Exact same here.

CoastalWx Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Exact same here. Definitely lost a bit today and last night, but still solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
