It made for good pack retention despite the occasional rain storm. Expand Yeah, Your response was my short response to Ray, A lot of messy storms here but the gradient really was not very far to the west for something bigger, Only about 20 miles separated a great winter from a good winter here.

Expand I started beating that drum a month ago, seeing a no-mix winter (07-08) become an always-mix scenario. In 07-08, events bringing more than 3.0" had an average ratio of 11.8 to 1. This year, such events are running 8:1. The 12 such events this winter have brought 1.1" less LE than the 19 in 07-08, and 46" less snowfall.

Expand Maine, Area wise is huge, Elevation plays a big role and storm track as well, You have to remember, This year we had many of these systems that the primary remained west of here, And really had no big coastal storms that would favor down our way, So that favored the foothills and Northern areas that stayed all snow and we had several mixed events here that cut into the totals with low ratios.

Expand CAR has had 153" to date and their norm is 114, so their YTD is at 134% of full season avg. I think it would be hard to find a Maine winter in which no 2 stations were farther than 35% different compared to their respective norms. In 1970-71, PWM had 7" more (in their snowiest on record winter) than CAR. One place had over 2X average, the other was 20% AN. So that favored the foothills and Northern areas that stayed all snow Change "all" to "mostly" for the foothills and I'd sign on - 9 of my 12 storms of 3"+ had mixing, some minor, some profound.

tamarack Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Perhaps 2 "firsts" (for me) can illustrate the oddity of this snow season. The Nov. 13 snow to rain event marked the first time our snowblower chute got clogged (4X in 10 minutes before I gave up) in the 8 years since I bought the machine. Then my biggest event, the 11.7" on Jan. 19-20, included the first time I've observed IP with temps below zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
