Started with a couple hours of non-accumulating SN- during the afternoon. Just checked Farmington, and they recorded 7" - I think the heaviest bands stayed to our south. We actually got more (8") a year later on April 16, with most coming in a 5-6 hour period. The real excitement that year came earlier, beginning with January's 5 storms bringing 49", the first one going from nothing to 1/8 mile visibility in less than one minute. Other than in Fort Kent snow squalls, I've never seen such a wall of snow. Second was the Kennebec's record flood on April 1-2. Most of the 4-7" of warm rain fell on 3/31 following a week-long spell of 50s-60s attacking the remains of the January snowpack. The North Sidney gauge reached 232,000 CFS, tops for any Maine river by about 40K - 22 feet above flood stage in Augusta, washed away Fort Halifax upriver, after the structure had survived for 245 years. (About 1/3 of its timbers washed up on islands in the lower K'bec and were salvaged, with replacements for the rest enabling reconstruction of the fort.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have 70" of snow on the year with "nickle and dime" events while us southern NE coasties have been teased and tortured all year. I would normally prefer a big dog too but in a year like this one I'll take whatever I can get You make it sound like i'm complaining, Far from it, I'm at dead normal, I was answering Mikes comment of what is considered big this winter, And storms of 6" would be big as they have been far and few, Of the 21 events, 4 have been over 6" and 2 that were 5" ones, The rest were 4" or less, But in a normal year, We would have seen some 12"+ events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also WSW verification disappointment. I've kept track of warmed snowstorms starting with 2006-07. We've had 6 to date this season, right on the median for those 13 winters and this one's not finished (I hope.) 4 of the 6 verified with less than the lower number of the forecast range - I use the latest forecast prior to first flakes as the measuring stick. 3 of those 4 were less than an inch below the mark, so it's not as if they were total disasters. The other 2 landed within the range, one near the lower number and one near the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in March of 1990 or 1991, we got a 10" storm and I thought it was a blizzard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWolf Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 2 hours ago, 40/70 Benchmark said: Why? The EPS is favoring the closer time frame....that is good if you ask me. Guidance is struggling over which wave to focus on, but I would rather have stronger support for a closer time frame. I guess I was just meaning that they are not agreeing at all. OP has a big storm Monday, but EPS has that look for Saturday. To me that gave me pause that models don’t know what to key on, and that there is a bigger chance for complete failure lol. But I see what you mean though, and agree on that aspect for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski areas and NNE have near record snow...unless it snaps to 80 degrees by mid March, and stays excessively warm, they’ll be skiing well into Late April.
