MRVexpat Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 6 minutes ago, powderfreak said: Yeah we had that in both of those other seasons too. 2016-17 had a similar stretch over 6-8 weeks, including a 26-day stretch with 100” in it at 3,000ft. 2018-19 had a run early season Nov, Dec, into January I believe of just pow. Its nice to get back to what folks seem to call “an old fashioned” winter compared to past 5 seasons at least. Crazy to think the last several winters up here have had +8 type departure months. We knew once it flipped a bit it would feel ridiculously cold and snowy. Totally. Would be nice to get a monster storm to cap things off! 16-17 had Stella, which at Sugarbush gave us 42" in about 48 hours on the heels of that huge late Feb thaw.

The ground also completely thawed in most places with decent sun exposure. Last night was third consecutive with temps >32. i highly doubt that. I know that you are in the banana belt of SE NH, but I don't see how the ground could be completely thawed after a couple warmish days. I could buy they top 2-3" being thawed, but not completely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exposed areas are frozen, but under the deep pack it’s not that bad. My 4” and 8” depths are 32° each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having had at least 6" of pack since Thanksgiving night, I'm confident that the ground under the current 19" is unfrozen. Under our driveway the frost is probably 3-4 feet deep. 3.5" from 0.34" LE, with a trace of FZDZ on top. Probably 5"+ in the pack now, about the median for 2/28 (though likely below average). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 14 hours ago, powderfreak said: 269”… we’ll see if it makes a run at 2016-17’s 375” at that plot, or can get towards the more recent bigger year of 2018-19 max depth over 120”. It’s not second place for late Feb. I’m dammed if I do, dammed if don’t lol… rubbing it in or downplaying it depending on your viewpoint. Just let the stats fall where they are… it’s a solidly above normal snow winter, but not the best in even the last 8 years. A good winter. It was in 2nd when I wrote this. Now tied for 4th so sensy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling Forest area where the trails are is around 1,500ft right? 3-4 feet sounds about right in that mid-slope elevation band. That’s a great little recreation zone in this area… mtn biking, snowmobiling, ski touring, hiking, etc depending on the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a beautiful area and a great rec resource for people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
