I like these cool Spring AMs with not a cloud in the sky. Sun will do its dirty work. Already in the mid 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toss that garbage to Franklin and make heroin out of it. I've seen times where more than half of my town was practically bare but you'd still have yards with solid cover. What are you supposed to do?

powderfreak Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Nothing says April 1st like watching dry powder blow across the yard from last night's fake fluff. 26F with winds gusting 20-30mph and plumes of powder blowing off the rooftops. The sun looks deceivingly nice out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't looked at much, but saw MOS had 43F for CON so I was hoping for upper 30s to knock out more snow, but it's not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing she asked this morning was "Why did it snow?" I tried to make the claim that a little 1-2" coating just covered the mud and dirty snow and she claimed she loves the mud. Because mud is the next step to green and she hasn't seen the yard since like Halloween. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trivia note: researchers have found that such litterfall is up to 1/3 of what deer eat when yarded up in winter. Brief warmup early afternoon yesterday, high of 52 tops for March and tied Feb max - in both 17 and 18 March failed to reach the Feb high. 0.31" RA with a few flakes at the end. Only lost 1" of pack, now 26". Probably still close to 10" LE in that stuff; Saturday plans for a core lost out to cutting firewood. The deer vacate my area when the snow begins at the end of the fall or soon thereafter and head for the valleys. They'll return when we leaf out and stay until the snow returns the following winter. My total for today's upslope ended up at 6.0", which was a nice surprise. I had to snow blow the driveway. By the time I was down in the valley by the MA line there was only a dusting that was pretty much all but gone everywhere except for the shady areas. It never ceases to amaze me how localized these events can be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way anyone in town here has 10” of solid cover. Can't see Northfield from here, but I'm sure folks here know that totals can vary across a short distance (both horizontal and vertical.) On March 10 my pack was 1" taller than at the Farmington co-op. On March 29 (their data for 30-31 not yet on Climod) I had 11" more. My place in the woods holds pack well, though most near the house are bare-limbed ash and maple. The Farmington site is more open, with scattered trees. Nice clean-looking snowbanks at Roxbury.

dendrite Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 If he's on Shaker Rd there that's 600-640ft...I'm at 615' and have more than the top of my 800ft hill. Whatever he's measuring isn't representative....probably not even for his own yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
