tamarack Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Had a fairly quick 4" of non-sticky snow before it went to IP about 6 AM, then to an IP/ZR mix by 7. Only a slushy inch or so in Augusta. Quite the patch of colorful echoes moving from NH into Maine, undoubtedly the wash-away part that has accompanied almost every storm this year. Should still wind up with the same or a bit more snowpack than I had yesterday. It's all going away next week, I think, giving this winter a chance to beat 99-00 and 11-12 for fewest days with 1"+ OG. Those years each had 86 snow-cover days; today is day 68 for this season.

eyewall Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 What a modeling fail for that area......lol It was a total fail within 24-36 hours as well. I went from an NWS forecast of up to 7 inches to actually seeing 0.3 inches of mainly sleet. Obviously the NWS had to walk back amounts as the models indicated disaster, and they did so appropriately. There is zero chance we see a warning level snow here before time is up this go around. I don't even think a solid advisory snow is in the cards either at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to say, I think the RGEM and the Euro is going to be close to reality up here, The GFS just puked all over itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Didn't go too bad for the Whites. Looks like a couple of inches from webcam, and the temperatures are already falling looking at the MW observatory reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I looked out and saw the white wall along the mountains, and it looks like some backside snow is blowing up along the spine on the radar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApacheTrout Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 0.49 inches of mixed precip. There was some freezing rain, some sleet, some snow, but the end result was an unmeasurable (in terms of snow depth) slop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Storm preformed as expected here. Net gain, ground white. Sleet started in late evening with temp around 28F Quickly transformed to heavy snow, the heaviest of the year. Didn't last long but put down an inch or perhaps a bit more. Turned to sleet and freezing rain. I slept in but at 8am we had freezing rain/rain and 32.2F. Rain ended and a brief clearing moved in boosting the temp briefly to 34F and melted some of the glaze. Clouds moved back in and we had a period of light snow for about 20 minutes with temps back around 31.8F. It was suspiciously calm so took the drone up to look around. Winds were picking up fast and I didn't realize how windy it was above treeline. Drone almost flipped and couldn't fight the wind and started drifting away at 250 feet. Got it down quickly and landed it in my field. Close disaster. Here is quick video of area after the storm. Definately white with glazing above 1400 feet or so. https://youtu.be/9HlA9QN8NVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 just checked the Sb webcams and its snowing. also, interestingly the super bravo which goes up to 3000' is on windhold while the heavens gate to the top is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Picked up at least a quick inch in the past hour. Very heavy snow with that upslope push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Nice day here in CON. Plenty of sun and 40F. Looks a lot more dreary 20 miles north at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Might have been the last snow of the year here today Never know... My latest in season for measurable (May 14) and 1"+ (April 29) came in 2002, after a pretty awful winter. The earliest dates for last measurable (March 11) and 1"+ (March 6) came in 2009, after a winter that saw snowpack peak at 49". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowing_hard.jpg that's so cool how it can snow that hard with just upslope. Down in our neck of woods, it would have to be huge storm or blizzard to see something like that.
