Funny...I recall you were retaining more snow than I was during the winter....I must have really avoided mixing out until the last moment on Thursday.
-
-
I know you aren't...I just don't know what to say lol I also said in the post above, that while I'm not right on the Merrimack river bed, I am in a little valley...so am not surprised surrounding areas also get a bit more snow. That probably worked to my advantage om Thursday because I didn't mix out until the front was coming through.
-
I also don't mean to imply that there is a uniform 7" of snow on the ground throughout Methuen, either...certainly not the case. Lots of bare ground showing up and it's gone near the main roads and under trees. I'm sure there is more consistent coverage in Brian's area....but IMBY, which is not heavily shaded, there is still several inches.
-
IDK what to tell you...I'll take a photo with the yard stick...maybe the sleet slowed the melt....
-
What did you have in the flizzard? I have a 10" in the that, and then avoided melting in the March 5-6 deal, as I added 1.5" of pack-preserving sleet, while rest of SNE rained and NNE had a few inches of fluff.
-
TBH, my locale is in a local valley, despite not being right on the river...I also noticed that I consistently come in a bit lower than the Culligan guy from Salem, NH, too.....I don't think he's misrepresenting, though I know you are just nut-crunching.
-
My area is like the garbage disposal of SNE...I clean up in the events no one in SNE wants Methuen...the island of misfit snow.
-
Last night was a perfect example of #1....right on cue.
-
...or use uber helicopter to my fly to my yard.
-
3/4" from midnight to 2AM.
-
Yea, my seasonal totals are usually considerable, but scrapped together by the left overs from NNE and SNE...don't usually end up ground zero for large events. Blizzard was a perfect example....royally bent over, but got 10" that NNE didn't get.
-
Two main factors allowed me to retain some snow 1 I have done a bit better than most of SNE in these garbage events, which is usually where I "shine" relative to the region...you guys will rain, and I'll get Dendrite and Jeff's sloppy second-crumbs. I had 1.5" of pack-preserving sleet last Friday while it rained a few miles south. 2 My warm stretch yesterday was fleeting bc I didn't mix out until the front was approaching. Not to mention I radiate pretty well...
-
I'm starting to get heavy recession billowing out from beneath trees...but the lion's share of the flat expanse is covered.
-
Same in my yard...

Raises hand...

I'm not a summer-seasonal guy, but I've heard it probably won't be that hot...
-
The first thing to watch this summer into the fall is the PDO....I think it will finally flip positive, but can't have that remain negative, or we are going to end up with that pig ridge right over S Canada again, like 2023-2024...... -PDO/strong El Nino is awful. 1972-1973 was another one.
-
At least we know it will be active next year...welcome change. Yes, we also know temps will be a big issue, but I am done with stein seasons....so positive there.
-
Yea, well...I didn't say it was 90 degrees....but when it's too warm to snow in New England during winter, that is kind of a torch. I didn't say it the warmest winter ever...
-
I can tell by the vibe and feedback from certain posters on here when I need to look.
-
I have managed to score in all of the super El Ninos, except 2015-2016 because that blizzard just missed me to the south.
-
I haven't viewed a model since my blog last week....says all you need to know.
-
I had like 15" over several hours, but some spots had like 2'...insane rates. Ayer, MA had like 8" in an hour. If everything lines up, you can get some crazy dynamics with the amount of moisture available, but the warmth that comes with it is often prohibitive.
