USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 This storm is going to use more energy from me than I can write, so I am going to take a few days off to pay attention to this storm. I think it deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm going to need 3" to surpass 11/12 Only need a little over four feet to surpass 11/12 in my backyard. At this time in 2011-2012 we were just getting over a nice 17" upslope event in town and 36" at the picnic tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Well there is absolutely no question it is over. I feel like breaking something lol. This one may be the worse than the cutters because it looked decent until just yesterday and now will pretty much screw us entirely by less then 100 miles.

tamarack Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 55% here 55% of YTD, or of avg annual snowfall? My 41.2" is 63% of YTD but only 47% of annual. Need 27" to top 11-12, but only 11.7" to avoid being 18th of 18 winters here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 29" was peak. Which is pretty damn good for the SVT west slopes below 1K which aren't exactly known to hold great snowpack. Yea, I remember your picks---impressive. Pretty much everyone at decent elevation from your plot down in extreme SVT up through this area was at 36"+ of snowpack through most of FEB into March. Being in a narrower valley, I think your location in Manchester is a bit better for snow overall compared to a bit further north from say Rutland up through the Champlain Valley or further south from Bennington down toward Williamstown. Without the Taconics and Mt. Equinox just to your west, it would be a lot tougher there. Downslope effects can be negated a bit in narrow valleys compared to wider ones. While easterly flow will downslope from the Greens, it ultimately has to upslope over the Taconics again, which are very high there. The same logic could be applied to westerly flow too. Large scale flow will sometimes "skip" right over very narrow valleys. Your valley is wide enough for downslope, but narrow enough that it isn't as brutal as some places.

codfishsnowman Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 was reading the climate summary for Feb in northern Maine and only a half foot or so otg in Car but areas bordering Canada up to four feet...now that is a sick gradient!! car picked up a few inches this morning so the otg right now might be a bit higher but still....wow!

Thanks, that does make sense. It's a not "great" snow location here by any means,but it does seem to be better for snowfall and retention than RUT,DDH and CPV south of BTV. Your explanation kind of explains why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 You are by Equinox right? And does J Spin live south of I89? J Spin lives practically right on I89. Right where it cuts through the spine on the Waterbury/Bolton line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
