The cutoff S of RT 2 has been astounding this year. I drove to E MA and back today and E or S of Gardner there is almost no snow. You have run away and hidden from me at 38".

So it seems that snowfall is near normal (I'm assuming this is for Waterbury), while temps have been warm (as with the entire eastern US) and snowpack is slightly below normal. That tells me that the ski season hasn't been so bad around Stowe, especially after that storm around 2/7/2020 (with the full moon shining over the fresh deep snow, the following weekend really was the perfect time to be up there). Right, my data are from the Waterbury area, more specifically along the Waterbury/Bolton line to the west of town along the spine of the Greens. Because of that location, our site does a decent job of mirroring what goes on at some of the local resorts like Stowe. The plot of the snowpack at the Mt. Mansfield Stake gives a good sense for how the season has gone. That stretch of below average depths played out sort of how you’d expect – conditions were perhaps a bit below average, but that’s really not all that bad around here. Hitting that storm (Winter Storm Kade) earlier this month was a good time to be around here though – it was a nice shot of snow that actually got the snow depths up near average as you can see on the plot.

Ogmios Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 9 hours ago, OSUmetstud said: Yeah I think northern Maine, northern New Brunswick, and eastern Newfoundland are the only places with significant positive snowfall anomalies in eastern North America lol. In fact only 53% of our Meteorological WInter snowfall has fallen this winter compared to the measly 63% from last season as far as Dec to Feb is concerned, though there is ankle room for growth which might edge up the numbers for this season. The fundamental difference between the two seasons for my geographic location is that the average temperature despite the firehouse Pacific last season landed on the cold side of normal, while under the Strong Positive Arctic Oscillation the temperature are currently and will likely end up on the very mild side. The winter of 18-19 ended with 98% of snowfall though in March those numbers bought it above average overall which I do not think we see an epic March anywhere as many are hoping. Here are the numbers: Greenwood, NS (based in cm) Year Dec Jan Feb Total Percentage 19-20 21.4 45.6 34.9 101.9 52.3907455012853 18-19 28 47 48.2 123.2 63.3419023136247 17-18 58.2 108.7 23.2 190.1 97.7377892030849 Average 194.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Gfs continues to look a bit better for the 27-28th system. That’s pretty close to being a nice solution for most of SNE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 With that said, of note is the coastal low which evolves from the coastal mid-Atlantic northward towards coastal New England late Wed nite into Thurs. Prior runs of the ECMWF were hinting at this period being one to watch for coastal low pressure, and now the GFS indicates an approximately similar solution. Uncertainty`s large in this period with complex interaction of shortwaves aloft heavily influencing what ultimately transpires, but an interior wintry event around Thursday is a possible outcome and is something to watch in the coming days.
