Nope. Greenfield looks like it has as much snow on the ground as North Conway. I have come to the conclusion that its just not going to pan out in my area here and am just going NW the remainder of this winter, Plenty of snow up here in those areas.

So it atleast looks like winter. Theres a pretty deep pack up toward Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as you know it happens. Wish I was skiing again as Sunday River and Sugarloaf look great heading into March. As you know March can be stupendous up there even in the crappiest winters. No one knows what March will hold,no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And North is really Loaded up. When it doesn't snow at home....you just go and find it and it's fine. Wish we could grab something before winter passes into history, but maybe this is the Ratter we've been dreading(since 2012). Like Ginxy said, "it happens."

And last year was no (snowy) picnic either. We're .75" shy of that, granted that 60% it fell in 24hrs. But most don't consider big storms a penalty on the overall 'feel' and coverage days have been better than most winters ironically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWolf Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Just now, Bostonseminole said: i guess I have a short memory, don't remember much of that one. It was a Ratter for sure. But it did have the Octo-Bomb that was really something, and it did have one Warning event in January where I picked up about 6-7". I finished 2012 with about 17-18" that year; and that's where I am at currently for this year. So if no more snow falls, this winter will be as bad as 2012 with regard to snow, but 2012 had a Warning event for my area..where this year so far has not. This winter has not had a Warning event for a lot of folks-we missed out on the big snow in Early December for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 4" BN for the date, logical as snowfall is 8" BN. However, we never lost all the snow following the 4" on Nov. 11-12 so barring a repeat of March 2012 (or 2010) it will another season for high-end snow cover duration. SDDs - that's a very different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 15-16 had a nice paste job back earlier in Feb. the combo of temps and lack of snow since early December is close to rivaling all time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you haven’t let the run finish first and no right minded soul a) believed it verbatim and b) thinks or wants a great solution for like 60 consecutive runs anyway.

ORH_wxman Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 1 minute ago, White Rain said: When you think of retention to me its not really about snow cover days, even here we have had a useless amount of snow/ice on the ground most of the winter days really. Its about what has fallen vs what has been retained. The warmth/rain has quickly dwindled pack after every major event. We haven’t sustained a 6”+ pack for any length of time this season and that is unusual. Yeah I was thinking how basically the northern half of ORH county is doing pretty decent for snow cover days but annual snowfall could end up below average and snow depth days well below average. Uusually I would think "that's due to a cold and dry winter"....but it's been warm and dry since mid-December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
