Loose high ratio snow vaporizes or sublinates easier too.Soils that are sandy warm quicker but also cool quicker. Also Interior SE MASS has a very high percent of pine forest that locks in snow cover and radiates well at night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisStraight Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I notice in my yard higher parts of the yard facing south loses snow quickly, you can expand that to a larger scale and you would get similar results. My brothers house is on the bottom of a north facing hill and hangs on to snow forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interior SE MA is heavily wooded and is not densely populated just north of fall river to Brockton along route 24. On cold, clear, windless nights temps can be ten degrees or colder 20 miles north of the south coast beaches in places like Westport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry1978 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Relative to its neighbors in the Northeast, this was one of the outer cape's worst winters in a long time. Most parts of the New York tri state really cleaned house this spring with snow totals even though the snow lasted about as long as an average larry king marriage.

By mid March I could walk on the pack thanks to a few liquid events which as you said helps lock it in. 100" in a month will do that. I really do not retain snow well locally. I am not in a heavily wooded spot and get lots of sun. The fact that I had 12-18" still OTG on 4/2 was mind blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 2.8" in Burlington was reported at 8:30 AM while it was still snowing hard. Nobody got less than 3". Also you put the BDL total over Hartford, BDL is in Windsor Locks.

More hardwoods than pine, but even bare-limbed hardwoods can block 25-40% of sunlight. (Or why snowpack retreats from bases of trees as the sun gets stronger.) My snow stake is within 10 yards of dense forest in al directions except due north, and though that forest is 90% hardwoods, my small lawn is one of the last open areas to lose its snow. (The fake cold on still mornings doesn't hurt, either.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loose high ratio snow vaporizes or sublinates easier too.Soils that are sandy warm quicker but also cool quicker. That location has some wooded areas and actually I think is more sloped in a southern direction (worse than west), but There are other areas just north of me that seem to retain better, even in the open. My soil seems more clay like, but I am surrounded by ledge. This is just up the road from me a few miles. They received less snow, and even in this open field it retained longer.

And taking out those 2"ish amounts will make the whole map one color/no contours. tried to make it close to the numbers i went with then a higher range of 6-8 to see where i was too low. i think i will be taking out those low amounts because looking at the time stamp vs. radar...that poster is right, it was still snowing at a good rate there.
