What a tough pill to swallow that was. At least we made up ground that year. Yea, PD II shoved it up right up my tail pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Wind doesn't really do it for me...Super Storm was the only exception. I thought 1/29 may rival that, but it was nothing like it as far as drifting, despite comparable snowfall. Maybe winds were less? I had like 5' drifts in that one...1/29 was like 14" max drift, at least in my yard. Really underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is good. Had a very enjoyable late morning walk today. The club's big groomer had run the snomo trail thru our woodlot yesterday and with this morning's 19° it was still firm - much easier walking than on bare ground with the rocks, mush and puddles. Zero animal tracks since Tuesday's 3.5" (lots of deer tracks closer to the house, though), no deer, no coyotes, no bunnies, no partridge - though I did flush 2 birds from a hemlock as I passed by.Still 24" at the stake. That 3.5" had it momentarily up to 27", then the rain packed it to 25 and 3 days of near 40 could only push it down another inch. Probably 6-6.5" LE in that pack.

Some businesses out here rely on snow It's been a terrible winter for businesses that depend on snow. I know 2 people who recently decided to get out of the plowing business.

I try to tune out the whining. That’s the thing, I’m happy with an inch or two here and there but it’s been tough to even get that in the upper CRV this year. I was out in Charlemont yesterday, not far from Berkshire East and there’s better snow pack in Gardner than there is out on the East Slope of the Berks. Just a tough year, nothing I can do about it but move forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today is great skiing though! Yay! Plenty of cold weather helped Berkshire East, Mt Snow etc. lay a good base. We can’t really afford too many of these warm days though because it’s a pretty small bank account as far as base depth goes. I am not a huge IMBY guy for snow totals. Sure I like a lot of snow but I’m OK with getting shafted if the nearby mountains get snow and that just hasn’t been the case this year. I like snowshoeing and backcountry skiing but I don’t often have the luxury to drive two or three hours to find the goods. I rely on the Berkshires the Southern Greens and the Monads and it’s been tough in all of those areas. Whatever, we might still get a good storm or two in, otherwise hopefully blocking doesn’t show up to create April misery. I’ll still get outside and do things no matter what the weather.

But with respect to snowfall....its along side 2011-2012, 1994-1995, 1991-1992 an 1988-1989. I'm only 4.6" over my futility record of 1979-1980. This is about as bad as it gets here, and I'm not sure some realize just how bad it has been when I got shit on for complaining after the blizzard. Cold and dry is pretty annoying too. You brought some excellent examples from the late 80s and early 90s too. Was 89-90 up there for you too? 1979-1980 was horrible, and another one of those with October snow (all the way down to DC!) that did basically nothing afterwards. We basically had one shot to win the game with a HR and instead of hitting a HR it was a double and the runner was stranded on base (closest baseball comparison I can make to that blizzard lol.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
