Its definitely picked up again this morning, snowing 1/4sm to 1/2sm at times. With the drop in temperatures the flakes are over to that high ratio upslope that you'll find with summit temps near 10F. GFS actually keeps precip going into tomorrow morning possibly. Hard to believe it started around dawn on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowing steadily this morning at Stowe after another few inches overnight. 72 hours straight of snow. Anytime I hear the wind cranking up high on a cold day I think of you getting slammed by upslope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlantStick Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 It looks like the fluff has settled more than half of what fell. Lost a good 15" in depth since Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Don't be afraid to be honest...if you want to call BS, please do....I stand by it, and I think your work will confirm that. Appreciate the analysis. FYI...check out the Reading, MA coop for April 1997...total snowfall was 27", but max depth was 21". My max depth was 23.7"..snowfall 31". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got a fluff job and the timing of your clearing probably allowed for primo stacking as the best bands moved in. I don’t think your measuring was flawed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something about being the “lucky” unexpected one to jack. I remember feeling that, after the long duration Feb 2015 storm. I did not expect that much snow. I had to take a walk to admire what transpired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I crashed at midnight with 1' in the ground in 1997. 3.62LE on 4/1 vs 1.7" on 3/13? No contest, there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 BTW, I actually started suspecting my area was going to jack just before and as the event started.... 1) It began as rain, which oddly enough excited me because I knew damn well KPYM wasn't going to jack and the system was a bit west and warmer than progged. 2) The death band moved near Montaulk PT, which is a pretty good proxy for systems that nail my area. As an aside, I think this season would have made a run for the seasonal record had a weak el nino developed as I had thought last summer...no way we would have punted Feb.

ORH_wxman Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 This was the radar when Ray cleared....he cleared at the 5pm mark, and this is probably about 3-4 inches per hour type snow over him at the time so it was definitely a perfect time to clear to optimize high totals.... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSnowman Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 On 3/14/2018 at 6:22 PM, BombsAway1288 said: Lol once again Pete B mentioned it this time saying "Some controversy regarding the top spot. After speaking to someone who is close to the reporter of the 31 in Wilmington" he then said the same thing about the 6 hour clearing method saying "this is the right way to measure snow" and "the NWS said 'what? 31in is too high' but I think it's good and very close to the 28.3 report Methuen." Lol this is getting hysterical. I somehow JUST saw this BombsAwasy1288! So Pete Bouchard Actually DID mention me by "Speaking to someone (Cory) close to the reporter (Ray) of the 31" in Wilmington..." That's Awesome! I somehow missed that! Yes, I'm looking back through the Poor Man's 12/09/05 in February 2017, and this, the Ray Jackpot Blizzard of March 2018 for the 2 Best Storms in Recent Memory. BOTH OF WHICH I Missed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George001 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I remember this one well, the last blizzard of the 2017-2018 winter. Haven’t had a great region wide New England winter like that since. That winter had it all, arctic air in Dec- mid Jan, multiple blizzards, and pretty good snowpack retention. There really was something for everyone, hell even Torch Tiger got in on that winter when some areas hit 80 in late Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
