tamarack Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 lol. We see that kind of dot over Katahdin all the time, much different than the larger blob that frequents the Presidentials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see 6" happening in Manchester, not in town at 700'. It would have to be absolutely nuking to get temps to cool down for that accumulation on the valley floor. Thinking maybe 3-5" IMBY, maybe 1-2" in town? Lol..looks like ALY agrees with my expert assessment with the new map.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jculligan Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 1" down as of 7am. Feeling pretty good about this event in my area. Heaviest rates are forecast to occur from 12pm-5pm today which should offset the daytime factor. Currently 31/29 with accumulation even on paved surfaces. Hopefully this event can push my seasonal total up and over the 70" mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Late start at 1,500ft... really nothing overnight but it has really turned on with 2-3" in the past 90 minutes or so. We are hitting 2"/hr rates at times after the slow start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even need to look at anything but wind streamlines, they haven't changed in 4 days.... throw all QPF maps out lol. Gonna get crushed. Sort of like what NW flow does up here with the right synoptic set up. QPF is definitely the least accurate part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jculligan Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Up to 2.8" as of 8:30. Snowiest day since 2/22 for now. When we exceed 3" it'll be the snowiest day since February 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Looks like the official CoCoRaHS number was 133" for the season before today, but the record of the early April event is missing, I believe that was 3 inches here or so (I am terrible with remembering these little events). So it's probably more like 136" or so. We will see if we can get to 145" or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a respectable number...ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We managed 6" during the December 5th event, which completely hosed the valley. But yes, there was 14-20" above 2000' so that was a tough pill to swallow. Today's event will likely be the largest event since then, so the two biggest events of the season (at elevation) will both fall outside of astronomical winter lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backedgeapproaching Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Prob end up with 2+" of QPF and 3" snow.

#NoPoles Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 At Rt302 level, we hovered between 33-35 degrees all day. I did clear 4 inches off my car this morning at 10am. Must have had a a decent band in the earlier morning hrs...it snowed all the rest of the day but didn't really accumulate. Also, Bretton Woods gets shadowed on an easterly flow.

wxeyeNH Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 2.5" final snow amount at my elevation Moving up here from the flat lands of Greater Boston it still amazes me how just a few hundred feet make such a difference in snow amounts. At Newfound Lake level where most people live there is no snow and it was just a mix all day. Driving up a sideroad from the lake you go to bare ground to winter wonderland in less than a mile. A video from today of that.... It should say April 16 not 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 50 minutes ago, mreaves said: Ended up at around 6”. Good event. The snowfall definitely improved at a lower snow level as one moved south and east of up here. 1.0-1.5" snowfall at the height of accumulation based on wife's observations at 750ft. Was only a half inch of slope on the board when I got home at 4pm, melting all day after the morning burst. Sloppy white. 12" snow depth increase at the Mount Mansfield Stake. Strong elevational gradient. Drought concerns are minimized with a heavy QPF event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
