Like the cool high school click, the west of river folks just want to get a taste of what cool feels like.....if we are allowed to.

Hazey Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'm telling you...these guys didn't start whining out of control for nothing...they saw it before the rest of us did. They are all doing very well after throwing multiple tantrums earlier this winter. We were behind the curve. There is a method to the madness. In all seriousness I haven't complained in while. I only really melted over the holidays when the pattern sucked because...well...the pattern sucked. February has been very kind. No denying that.

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I melted, and the winter has been respectable ever since. I think its over for a while, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 3 hours ago, OceanStWx said: It would probably be 1969 though looking at the Farmington coop (84" on 2/28). That record really stands out, as that co-op's 2nd tallest is 28" less - 1971 and 1993 tied. It was reached when 43" fell atop a 41" pack, which seems odd - no compaction? However, the depth then decreased about as one would expect given the wx over the subsequent weeks. Next highest I've found (prior to the current pack in Andover) was mid-70s, in Andover, Jackman, and 2 yr ago in Machias, at 20 asl. (Their next tallest is 39" - no surprise that 2015 blew the doors off.) My dream of topping 50" slipped off to the south. That Tuesday afternoon map would've done it, but my 6.2" merely brought the depth back to 46". Plenty solid, though, with 11-12" LE. If I get ambitious over the weekend I'll take a full core - the 2" IP/ZR crust from Jan 24 will be hard to sample accurately, however. (Maybe I should assume 50% water and measure the rest?) In 1983-84 (Fort Kent) the massive pack included a 3" crust from a mid Dec ice storm that held 1.9" LE - don't ask how long it took me to make a core. That moose-carrying layer had 1/2" of clear ice surrounded top and bottom by 1.25" layers of ZR-welded IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 2 hours ago, ORH_wxman said: Not on the mountain...they've basically been maximizing every upslope event there. For the rest of VT, those other two winters were much much better than this one. That’s right, as was ‘08-‘09. Snowfall at my site through today is 111.8”, which means we’ve essentially caught back up to average season snowfall for this date similar to what eyewall’s been reporting for BTV. The ‘07-‘08 (154.9”), ‘08-‘09 (130.6”), and ‘10-‘11 (134.8”) seasons were all notably ahead of average pace as of Feb 16th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember looking at radar thinking you may have done well. Guess so! Wow. What a run in NNE. It was about time. We didn't really get anything until 3pm when it started snowing 2"/hr for a time. Overnight it was just classic orographic assist at a steady 1"/hr. Up to 14" now as it keeps snowing at the mountain with dim sun in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then of course further north into Rangeley. They have to be the best snow retention area in New England given their elevation...maybe minus some spots way up north near Allagash, ME. Like 600 feet elevation in a town like North Waterford...they'll attain a 40"+ pack without too much sweat in a decent winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
