wxeyeNH Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Eyewall. That totally, totally sucks. Keep me posted as what you are going to do. Last year when I had to deal with DJI it was awful. Maybe they have improved. I've had a few close calls. One was when I went up to visit Alex and took the drone. I didn't tighten one of the props and it took a back flip when I went to take off. Luckily no water. The infra red camera that detects close objects has saved me also. Sounds like that would not have helped with you. I have found as I have gotten more experience I tend to do things that have higher risk. Stupid on my part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recent beta on Nosedive’s coverage from your sources? I’d actually like to head to the Snowfields for turns this weekend, but it would depend on the weather or other obligations, so some Nosedive turns might be another option depending on the snow situation there.

MarkO Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Skied Tucks with the kids and friends last Saturday. It made day 30 for me which is the first time I've ever skied 30 or more days in a season, woohoo! Eyewall, I've dropped a drone in a river before. Dry it out, check the ESC's for moisture and check the motors spin freely. Before you send it back I'd remove the shell (if you're handy) and check for damage. If it fell hard, it might have cracked the ceramic GPS antenna located on the underside of the top shell. I lucked out the time I dropped it in the river. It ran fine after I replaced the props, straightened one of the arms (after I let it dry). The second time I lost it, not so lucky. The cracked GPS antenna wouldn't let it take off. Anyway, here are some shots. Next time I'm bringing the Mavic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Looks like May will end below normal in interior VT. It would take quite the torch in the last week to overcome these. St Johsbury is -3.0 Morrisville-Stowe is -2.7 Montpelier is -1.4 Meanwhile BTV continues its hot streak (compared to the other main climate sites) with +0.5.

wxeyeNH Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Rain and cold. Picked up about .15" yesterday and its been raining most of time the past 6 hours. Mostly light rain. About .30" this PM but right now its raining pretty good. Upper 40's to low 50's. Pretty darn cold for almost June 1rst. More cold and gloom. I keep having to turn on the heat every few hours.

J.Spin Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 It’s June, so I’ve got the May and snowfall season precipitation totals for our site below: May totals: 0.0” snow/5.23” L.E. Snowfall season totals: 186.5” snow/26.39” L.E. There was no accumulating snow at our site this May, and liquid was just about average (+0.36”) and well within one S.D. I don’t track the temperatures, but they seemed pretty nice – it was certainly cool enough to help with snow preservation. That should be it for the snowfall season, so the snow and liquid totals will likely represent what we picked up for the 2016-2017 winter season. Next I’ll start putting together my winter season summary data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Below I’ve posted some of the general snow data for our site from this past winter. Some highlights for snowfall were certainly getting an above average total for the first time in six seasons – that felt long overdue. The months really setting that up were February and March with 50.3” and 58.7” respectively; other than that the months were essentially at or below average, with December and January coming in with pretty lackluster snowfall. Certainly worthy of note was Winter Storm Stella, the largest storm of the season with 41.0” in total. Aside from the snowfall, there wasn’t much that made the season stand out – snowpack was well below average as determined by snow depth days. The duration of continuous snow at the stake was notably below average, as was the length of the snowfall season due to the early finish on April 8th. Season Snowfall 186.5" October Snowfall 1.1" November Snowfall 13.6" December Snowfall 34.2" January Snowfall 20.0" February Snowfall 50.3" March Snowfall 58.7" April Snowfall 8.6" May Snowfall 0.0" # of storms 55 Average snow per storm 3.4" Largest snowstorm 41.0" Max snow depth 29.5" Snow depth days 848 inch-days Earliest accumulating snowfall Oct 22 Start of continuous snowpack Dec 3 Latest accumulating snowfall Apr 8 Last day of continuous snow at stake Mar 1 Last day of continuous snow in yard Apr 16 Duration of continuous snow at stake 89 days Duration of continuous snow in yard 135 days Duration of yard snowfall season 169 days Liquid during snowfall season 26.39" Season Snow/Water Ratio 7.1 Average water content of snow 14.2% Days with trace of snowfall or greater 101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding some comparable data to what's in my sig: (Numbers in parentheses are 19-winter averages/medians.) Days with T or more: 73 (66.7/72.0) Days with 0.1" or more: 48 (41.5/42.0) Days with 1.0" or more: 28 (21.7/22.0) Days with 4.0" or more: 11 (7.6/8.0) Days with 10.0" or more: 3 (1.05/1.0) Ties 2000-01 for most. 12 of 19 winters have had a 10"+ event. Largest day: 17.0" on Feb. 13 (12.3/12.5) Largest 24 hr: 21.0" on both Dec. 29-30 and Feb. 12-13 (14.8/13.8) Max depth: 47" on Feb. 13 (29.3/26.0) That's 2" short of the tallest, in Feb. 2009. I've also reached 48" in 3/01 and 3/08, and 43" in 3/14. Total days with 1"+ OG: 137 (120/122) Had 136 consecutive, Dec. 5 thru Apr. 19. Latest 1"+ was 01, 07, 14, 08 with 23"/22"?21"/20" respectively. SDDs: 2,806 (1,720/1,400) Ranks 3rd of 19, just 16 ahead of 00-01 and 31 behind 13-14. 07-08 with 3,835 is unchallenged. 5th (08-09) is 301 back of 00-01. I took cores 3 times: Feb. 18, 41" pack with 9.71" SWE (23.7% water); Mar. 18, 30" pack with 9.50" (31.7%); April 1, 28" pack with 10.35" (37.0%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
