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. 17.1" at GYX, 16.5" at PWM.

STILL N OF PIKE Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 4 minutes ago, masonwoods said: 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. Yup I went up 101A at 6pm Monday , was rain to about 800’ in west Wilton , and was sticking already at 1400’ by Temple Mountain . I would have been such a happy weenie if my place was high enough to snow that early . Nashua was 40 at that time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STILL N OF PIKE Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 One other quick weenie observation as I was watching the W underground precip type Radar around 10pm Monday nite from Jaffrey ..you could see a little blue pixel several miles East of the sharp S/Rain line that coincided with a weenie neighborhood in Hollis that maxes out around 815’ . No question they were buried on that Upper part of that little tiny division . I know most all weenie hills near me . The road is summit lane next to Birch hill.

Hailstoned Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I've gotten a report of 38" fallen in Harrisville, N.H. near Mt. Monadnock. This is quite the landmark event in that having spent 4 years in the 1960's at school atop a 1,500 foot hill in Harrisville, the most I remember on the ground is about 3 feet after the momentous storms of February, 1969 with possibly some residuals left over from the epic blizzard, the worst I've ever witnessed, of November 12, 1968, as well as subsequent snows. So 38" from one storm is indeed epic and historical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That area probably had a similar total in the Mar 5-7, 2001 storm...maybe not quite 38" but over 30" and the snow pack there likely reached 55-60" later that same month in 2001 after several more storms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisy Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Congrats to those who cashed in. I enjoyed watching from the side lines. Down here in snow helladelphia we have 0 snow for the season. Maybe a trace but does that really count? This is the first time in my life that I’ve gone an entire year without seeing an inch of snow since 0 chases this year. Life happens. You bet I’ll be going whenever, wherever next year! . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That obs came from 2 miles west from and 200+ feet higher than downtown. Might've meant an extra 10" (though 25" in town center isn't too shabby.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I remember the models lost Boxing Day at 2 days out and then found it again, but maybe it is just old memory, once the models came back, they were pretty close. Even after this event started, things didn't seem well forecast until yesterday morning (general details, not exact snow, but they seemed decent away from the coast generally). Was this that odd of a setup? Apples and oranges, but as more of a tropical weenie, I remember when Euro was the king (240 hour 500 mb showed that the Sandy capture was coming 11-12 days before landfall) of the tropics until all of a sudden it wasn't. I heard they focused more on European weather when changing the model, but I'd think mid-latitude weather is mid-latitude weather, even if mountains, plateaus and valleys in Western North America might result in challenges.

Best we can manage with Coops at the time is near Fitzwilliam with 24" at 1200 ft or so. So somebody higher up probably got plastered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monadnocks are just closer to the mean low track, and even if we get one to tuck the elevation just doesn't ramp up as quickly in our immediate vicinity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 5 hours ago, wx2fish said: Impressive lat/elevation gradient locally. Within 3 miles, settled depths 7-8" @ 200ft, 12-13" @ 350ft, 15-16" @ 550ft just over the Derry border. No appreciable difference between 150' and 350' here in Methuen...maybe like an inch.

While (I think) it was a different synoptic setup than yesterday, and certainly the makeup of the snow was very different, we did "just" have a 30"+ storm 10 years ago. These don't grow on trees, at least we're not as favored to have them as other locations (see yesterday) do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a little less favorable than places like New Ipswich, Temple, Greenville, Ashburnham, Ashby, Princeton, etc....Fitzwilliam and Jaffrey are on the lee side of the Wapack range. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BombsAway1288 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Winds are much stronger today than at any point yesterday. I think in the future it’s a prudent move to hold off on any high wind forecasts with a nor’easter if it hasn’t bombed south of NE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
