powderfreak Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Just got power back after a 2-3 hour outage. Damn white pines love to break and wreck havoc. Luckily we are on the main line with the Mtn Road lodges and restaurants, so there's a rush to get it back. It looks like the Pacific NW out the back door. The birches are really bending too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just guessing that it is a model blend maybe given more weight to the Euro or something but I do see it a lot and it is pretty accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the WV showed a real dry patch develop on the leading edge of the wind. Figured that could be an area of enhanced wind. Lots of 80s in there too so I suppose. Crazy.

dendrite Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 No internet since last night now. Checked out the back woods and it was a pine that snapped in half. Looks like a few of them came down from the storm. The snapped one looked fresh and healthy where it broke and was about 10-12” diameter. Some of the “newer” old growth out there are tall and lanky as they tried to compete with the massive trees out there. So throw an inch of qpf at them in zr, ip, and sn and it’s not a surprise we’re getting some snappers. Pack is 9-10”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I was not too impressed with snow totals at the Maine and New Hampshire ski areas. Vermont was the winner by a wide margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My anemometer froze up so I have no idea what we’ve been gusting. And yeah, deep winter out there this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pouring snow at MRG and Wildcat but couldn't see a flake at Sugarloaf. Found a webcam at Sunday River's base and it looked to be coming down pretty good there, too. My son drove up early this morning to ski either Attitash or Wildcat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him I would have went to Cranmore. They are staying at the eastern slope inn.

tamarack Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 1 hour ago, Angus said: For sure, Sugarloaf especially got skunked. Sleet came way inland in Maine, so not a lot of inches to brag up but some solid base under future flakes. Storm sequence here was 2.5" from 0.24" LE on Thursday, 0.06" zr/dz overnight, 1.5" sleet thru 4 PM Friday (Prob. about 0.65" LE) then 1" SN 4-7 PM. 2-day totals: 5.0" and 1.09" LE, all but 0.06" frozen. Pack now 14" and solid. Never had a gust over 20, so no power issues in the foothills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Conway always is sort of a snow hole. They do well overall, but shadowed quite a bit. I find you have more snow to the south near east side of Osippees near Madison etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N Conway area has been the snow hole of NNE this year. Part of the reason is that a good part of our 7 or so inches were from upslope; but as I've mentioned in some threads Conway has gotten really screwed this year. They get no upslope and in several events their low elevation has meant rain. Never seen anything like it down there! Just a bad bad year for everyone but locally even worse for them. And their ability to retain the pack doesn't help when nothing is falling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was around 13" here. I rushed out this morning but there was an additional inch on my car from when I left this morning from when I shoveled at 11pm.
