Thunder Road Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Today is Day 34 of consecutive snow cover. The ground has been white since January 7th, which is simply amazing for a year with a strong Nina and, in recent weeks, a +NAO. It depends on where I look as to how much is left. Shades areas are green again, open area have anywhere from 3 to 8 inches. What defines a "snow cover day" anyway? Does a certain % of ground covered have to be met?

wederwarrior Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Today is Day 34 of consecutive snow cover. The ground has been white since January 7th, which is simply amazing I think that this stat alone makes this a great winter. We have had sustained coverage. It is a huge plus, as opposed to staring at brown and grey as it usually is this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 What defines a "snow cover day" anyway? Does a certain % of ground covered have to be met? At least 50% of the natural exposed ground must be covered, with a total average of at least a half inch (which rounds up to 1 inch). If the total average is less than a half inch, or more than 50% of the ground is exposed, then it only counts as a trace of snow cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the total average is less than 1", or more than 50% of the ground is exposed, then it only counts as a trace of snow cover. very interesting. currently 47 straight days here... should make it to 53. ave snow depth right now is about 6" best year (in terms of total days) was 1994... 64 days of snow cover.... but the longest continuous stretch was about 30 days.

iceman56 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 At least 50% of the natural exposed ground must be covered, with a total average of at least a half inch (which rounds up to 1 inch). If the total average is less than a half inch, or more than 50% of the ground is exposed, then it only counts as a trace of snow cover. So I can have 6 inches all over my shaded yard that I should put down as a trace if the majority of ground elsewhere is bare. I've been recording it as 'Patches of 6"' or 'Piles of 2 feet' when the snow is gone most other places. Thanks for the clarification of this, never really knew that.

IsentropicLift Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Long range GFS is screaming typical Nina pattern with a strong S/E ridge and troughing in the west. At least two big lakes cutters with the first one coming in around day 10. If the temps actually warm into the 50/60's and then we get a 2-3" rain cutter that would be all she wrote for the snowpack and.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Nina-like pattern has to surface at some point. Maybe there will be a return to cold with another shot or two at snow in March. If not, no complaints. This winter far exceeded my expectations.

Much of the snowcover has melted, and there isn't a disproportionate amout of snowcover North and West to provide runoff. So where are you getting these predictions of flooding from?

easternsnowman Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 The long range gfs is so reliable...lol. La Ninas usually have cool springs and if the blocking comes back those 50 or 60 degree temps is what we'll have all spring, May included.... which is horrible!!

As I mentioned in another thread... its not necessarily the wisest thing in the world to base a long range forecast on La Nina climo this year, based on how well that's worked out so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Lightning Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Well, there's nothing else to do but to track tonight's cold and this weekend's "warmer" temps. Right now it's 17 outside.....just imagine if we still had snowpack on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
