Yeah-I got multiple texts from my Chicago family asking how much snow.   I just curtly replied the amount.  My wife broke her right arm slipping on the ice 2/7.  Pretty disabling and she can’t drive-today is a f/u appointment-cast comes off in 2 weeks and then removable splint for 6 more-even she commented on the lack of snow in the lowlands.  She also told me that in her opinion this snow won’t amount to much.  I hate when she’s right!

Ugh!!! Even more reason to be disgusted by this winter. Hope she recovers quickly.

And regarding the latter... I'm sure most members of this forum have experienced the shame of --- after days of scrutinizing guidance and applying meteorology experience --- being wrong to someone who has zero awareness of the complexity.

I already heard today "why do these weather people get paid". Infuriating!

I can go from 5” imby to close to 30” 5mi as the crow flies.   I am actually going to take a drive up into the hills with my kid shortly.

Oh for sure...but your elevation gradient out that way is definitely steeper than in ORH county until maybe you get up by Ashby where you can theoretically go from under 500 feet to like 1500 feet in a short distance.

So the gradient near ORH was especially eye-striking.It was out of character with the typical elevation gradients we see there in marginal storms and I've experienced a LOT of marginal storms in ORH over the years.

Maybe not since 135 years ago?

How did Maine do in the March 5-7, 2001 nor easter? I know they were relatively lower than the monster totals in NH/VT/N MA, but probably not as low as this past storm relative to those areas.

I was just thinking about 2001. Can't believe this was a bigger event for S VT/W MA mtns than that one was. It certainly seems that way based on the reports from that storm. Obiously that storm was more widespread and included a lot of lower elevations but specifically for that area it looks like this eclipsed it. 

2001...

Not bad.  I don't have the York County numbers but it wouldn't be a surprise if there were some 20" totals there.  I measured 9.5" from 18+ hours of steady moderate snow while Farmington co-op recorded 14.0".  If we'd gotten the big dog from early month, some records would've been shattered as the co-op finished with 58.3", their 4th biggest month and tops for months not beginning with "F".  My 55.5" is the 2nd snowiest month anywhere, behind only the 61.5" for Dec 1976 in Fort Kent.

I ended up with 30".  Was expecting more wind than we got.

 

you at like 900’  right I.e higher part of town  

it’s amazing that like Brookline at 400’ had like 10” or so 

you could see that 800-850 was like the magic elevation number yesterday . Saw that difference between west End Wilton and Downtown

pretty infrequent then

I've read that some southern Maine spot got 16" from 3/1888, which compares poorly with 30" at ASH, not to mention something like 50 at HVN.  Only Maine record I've found was the Gardiner co-op, which recorded 8.0" on a day with temp 38/32 so obviously paste.

Won’t move snow, won’t move forward or won’t move because the engine won’t start?  Those issues become more concerning as you go from former to latter. 

The drive chain keeps falling off. I put it back on this morning, immediately fell off again. I'm done dealing with it for now, I'll just keep at it with shovel and plow.

Does anyone know if the 42" report from West Dover VT was final or accepted by NWS? 

My local seasonal pack maximum was on March 2nd, at 26" (down to 23" now) and it took all of a long winter season (started to snow here in late October) to get to that. We seldom get more than 10" in any given day but it keeps coming, did not rain much this winter, and thaw-melt has been rather minor, compaction of about 80-90 inches of total snowfall occurred all winter long and we were at 20" by mid-December, never changed much until a few snowy days in late February restored and then overcame previous peak of 24" in early February. So it took some people here all of yesterday to surpass my peak mountainside snow pack. Well done.

My guess is that 42” will be accepted as legit assuming it came from a coop. It doesn’t look that weird based on the location and other obs around that area and several pics coming out of west Dover definitely support at least 3 foot totals and likely some 40+ in there. It’s not one of those “why are they 30-40%  higher than everyone else?” type totals.

Got 1" and wind. Still have 1.5' in the fields and +2' in the woods. Will be sledding the river and fields till mid Apr as normal.

Reminds me of the SNE bomb of Feb. 1978.  Lived in Fort Kent at that time and we had 2" while some EMA/RI spots had over 3 feet.
And seeing a post from The County is excellent.

I measured 21" here in Dunbarton, NH (500') clearing every 6 hours or so. Measuring an untouched area on the driveway indicates it's already settled to 17-18" this morning.

Heavy damage in the area and no power since 8:45am yesterday. Here's a scene just down the road:

birchbenders.thumb.jpg.f8dc228443eed78b3b201246684a2542.jpg

 

The center of town is significantly higher at 850'. A local on facebook reported 31". Not sure about that, but certainly more than at my house.

Here's a couple pics from Dunbarton Center. Picnic tables:

In front of the town hall (snow is about 28" deep here):

35" reported in Peterborough which 17mi E. of Keene. 

You can see from the QPF map

chinook posted that they had about half the QPF in the shadow of mount monadnock as the monads had. They had worse ratios and it took longer to flip there at there lower elevation . My guess is they had to have had 6-8”

On my drive home Monday night it was raining in Milford but transitioned to snow on my drive through Greenville. Was snowing moderately when I got home.
