40/70 Benchmark Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Ended up with an inch here....nothing at all left at work in Lynn....sparse patches in Wakefield, greater coverage in Reading, then once you hit Wilmington, nearly full coverage. Full on the west side of town, where I am....about .5" of granular left. Hi 34 here, 39 in Lynn. GF in s Worcester said trees still caked there...

moneypitmike Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I'm not sure what I might have had when it stopped, but I had an 1" remaining when I got in at 8:00. So, I'll call it an inch. Better luck next time (which I guess is tomorrow night). Toasty. 34.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah--it's pretty for sure. The trees look good, but most of the snow on the road has melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Had 2.5" at my place, about twice what I expected. Have not done the LE yet, but anticipate under 0.2" - nice dendrites at low-mid 20s, good ratios. Snowcovered roads added 10-15 minutes to my drive home, then a stalled (or whatever, could not tell) semi in the middle of the Sandy River bridge in town kept us parked for another 25 or so. That truck was about 100 feet before the turnoff toward my place. C'est la vie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Yesterday's 2.5" had only 0.11" LE, ratio over 0:1. Nice fluff, but very vulnerable to warmth or RA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already had two events now in my yard that exceeded the largest one from last year and its only December 5th, ha. Finished with 4.8" here after one final burst of the largest dendrites of the event. No way I would've believed we'd get this much...but as BTV said, a nice overperforming warm front that left a widespread 2-6" across their CWA. Hopefully, the coming weeks will provide abundant snows so that the ski resorts will have a much better winter. Last winter was just awful across Upstate New York, northern New England, and Quebec.

Getting a little off topic, But, There is just no possible way for those area businesses north to rebound after a bad season, They rely heavily on winter tourism, Industrial wise not much going on there unless you work in the woods, And that can get very limited in bad winters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, one won't see something like that again for many years to come. We certainly don't want a repeat of the 79-80 and 80-81 sequence. The first winter set a new standard at Farmington, Maine (records back thru 1893) for low-snow winters. Then the next winter brought an inch less than that. Last winter was 4th lowest, 3.9" above 80-81 and just 0.1" from 3rd. (Of course, this is the Maine foothills, so Farmington's lowest is very close to Boston's average.)
