Been a tough couple of years in the county. I'm holding up The County economy best I can. Took a long sled ride and dropped $65.00 on a 4 lb lobstah at the Long Lake Sporting Club. Shared it with my kid. She got the rubbery parts. And she liked 'em too. Trailed a miasma of fahts all the way home. Probably made the unwitting sledders behind me hungry for lobster. Vim Toot!

dendrite Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Had a min of 15.2F, but up to 18.6F now. There's quite a temp gradient setup across S NH this morning. At 10z ASH was 35F and CON was 16F. At 1402' to my west on I89 the Springfield RWIS is up to 32.7F with a S wind gusting to 17mph. It shouldn't take too long to skyrocket today.

No snow overnight in town, dusting to a half inch here at the mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Speaking of impressive snow packs... the Jay Peak cooperative observer has a snow depth of 59", almost 5 feet of depth, and the location of the co-op is at the base of the mountain (1,800ft). 59" snow depth at 1,800ft is fairly impressive... the highest I've seen that co-op get is 100" of settled depth back in December of 2003. That record will be hard to beat, as getting 7-8 feet on the ground before the end of December is no small feat (though I did have my doubts at the time of that reading as even the summit station on Mansfield at 3,700ft didn't come close to that depth. I do wonder sometimes about the depth readings though because we have the same snow depth at 3,000ft on Mount Mansfield. Jay has been getting a lot of snow but they don't get *that* much more than the rest of the northern Green Mtn upslope region. I'd be curious to hear from Borderwx about the snowpack in the Jay base area. I have no doubt they have at least 3, probably 4 feet on the ground at 1,800ft, but 5 feet seems pretty high. For comparison, Cole's Pond at over 2,000ft has 33", Mansfield has 30" at 1,500ft; 61" at 3,000ft; 69" at 3,700ft. ...ORLEANS COUNTY...

I really have no idea where they pull there measurements from around the area so 5' with windloading would be very findable I'm sure, hell I could find 40+ in spots in my yard, but could also find only 20" in others. thers are some amazing micro climates in lee of the range, so depending on where the co-op is 1800' in the right micro zone would not shock me to see 59", I know areas in coventry, westmore, and newark that rival snow depths you find at 2500' on the range - its all with a grain of salt IMO looking like its gonna be a "sticky" ski this afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
