tamarack Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 For a storm that passed barely inside the BM, it was very nice here in the foothills, with 19.9". Then another 16.5" a week later. Only 2001 had more March snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a tremendous forecast discussion. In Philly what I most remember is that it wasn’t that cold as a storm started but the temperature dropped and we got up to about a foot of snow before sleet started mixing in. In Center City, I literally couldn’t walk in any direction facing the wind, because the sleep was slamming into my face so hard. I think we ended up with a little more than a foot but then it got very cold for a couple of days. You were probably in Hooksett then, but what were the snow totals up here? Anybody get 3 feet?

tamarack Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 That storm lived up to all the hype in all of the east coast states, but not at our Gardiner home as warm air aloft turned 1.70" LE into 10.3" of heavily rimed flakes, with modest winds. Also, February had produced 4 warning criteria storms, the top 3 dumping 11" to 14.5". However, the 31" pack on March 14 was our tallest in 13 winters there.

tamarack Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 The storm was down to flurries at our place by 8 AM that Sunday morning. Checking the hourly obs from GYX, I saw that BGR had light snow and calm wind, while 65 miles SE at Mt. Desert Rock, wind was 55kt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisStraight Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 That year had a good pack in March, I remember trudging through snow up to my waist when I was looking at houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 The thump from like 1-2pm or so until mid evening was pretty epic. 6-8 hours of crazy. We had about 20” and I’d say the vast majority fell in 6 hours. I think we got a few pellets right near the dryslot but otherwise they were a non-factor.

tamarack Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 With the lone exception of 4/9-10/2020, SNE has done better than here for April snow during the past 10+ years. (Of course, other than events like 1975, 1982 and 2007, April snow is no big deal.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing is right around 500? 515 good guess. About 700 yds up my hill is 725 and they probably average a foot more than me. Marginal from marine puke literally 500 yds down the hill in the valley is a snow pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was an incredible storm. Pretty much a 6-hour window or maybe even a bit less of heavy snow, several CG strikes locally that sounded like a summer-time severe storm with loud convective claps and snowfall rates of 2-3"/hr. We picked up about 13.5" from around 330pm to 930pm. Western CT had a truly historic event with 22-28" while the SE corner got hardly anything with an inch or two, quite the gradient. Here's the updated map i just did a couple months ago.... Had to look at this again and crack up at the Bridgeport reporting hole again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem for BDR is twofold actually. Number 1, it's in a valley. Many call it a shadow effect of the winds down sloping whether from an overall easterly or westerly direction. Number 2, they use a snow gauge. This has to catch snow that is already hindered by the valley shadow effect and also any wind will cause the snow to bypass the gauge a little regardless of a funnel put on top. With these relatively significant hinderances, one can pretty much see why a conservative snowfall report is somewhat the norm for that particular location.
