Driving from PWM down to Pembroke, MA (South Shore) tomorrow evening, supposed to leave here at 4PM.  How shitty of a drive am I in for?

I never really hear many  reports from the Maine coast , but it does seem to have quite the microclimate and often be a snowhole due to BL issues as well as prone to some significant Coastal fronts  

You nailed it.  I had 9.1" on 1.24" liquid for a 7:1 ratio.  I haven't done the calculating but that feels like my average here for the past 5 years of records.

My sister only got 3-4 inches in York, I thought for sure she would get 6-12. Coast must have influenced more than I thought.

The sleet line parked over PWM area, WSW to ENE from midnight to 10AM.  Moved as far north as Gorham at one point.  South of that I think was raining that whole time.  That was the difference from York to PWM to Lava/dryslot/PowderBeard land

9.2" total for PWM

Even with 10 hours of IP/SN mix I might have a chance at double digits.  Was at 5.8" with the 1PM obs but have had steady rates and great growth since about 3PM.

Storm total of 3pm: 12.5"

Since Thursday night: 20.25"

17.5" on the ground.

Thanks for the obs.  I have family up on stark highway south so always interested in obs from there.

Looks like the last push before we slot

Note that the stake has acquired a slight lean thanks to the 12/23 deluge.  Therefore, a pack touching the 2-foot bar is actually only 23.92"  

Mine sunk an inch or so further into the ground after that.  Relying on manual depth obs since (always used to validate the stake, but now they're the exclusive measurement method.

That slug of precip that went thru you to laconia heading NE has my name on it................

that's headed right for you.  We just flipped back to snow here after about 10 hours of IP/SN mix, let's see what we can do from here on out.

29.7° and IP

Measured 2.6" new (0.57 liquid- all IP) at 7A for 4.3" total (0.77 liquid). 

Depth is at 11"

R/S line is like 5mi N of me based on CC

Same up here.  1.7" new as of midnight, just flipped around d 1145.

Nice bump north on the 3k

Tossing for no other reason than because I don't like what it shows for mby

30.4° -SN and a quick tenth or two down in South Portland.

See if we can stave off a flip to rain here.

My coop gonna get crushed?

Lol that’s wild.  12-18” zone.

 

Oh my

Coop'n

Is the antecedent airmass colder than progged up here because of the fresh snow cover?  Or does this question make a certain Tolland poster confused?

Didn't expect to be sitting at 16.2°F this early.

Not sure what “satellite parallax effect” is but clearly GYX not buying these 12z solutions 

Gotta ride the hot hand.  3 for the last 3.

Trying to square the GYX snowfall map and P&C forecast with everything I’m seeing here + GYX’s own AFD, which talks about heavier snow at the coast based on trends.

Checked out on this a day or two ago.  Would be a nice surprise.  Expected our pack to be wiped.

Nice dude! Think you take this one.  Good to see a win there.

Would be a rarity to be sure.  Just happy to have warning criteria this winter.

Another 0.7" of 14:1 @ 7PM gives us 8.0" on the event.  0.87" total liquid.

Still going and accumulating, should break 8" with the 7PM obs here in PWM

Still some tiny flakes in the air but accum is done, 6.5" with ratio of 12.5-to-1.  1st 5" was 11:1 but daytime feathers added 1.5" of 21:1 fluff.  17" at the stake.

Edit:  Good to see the Maine coast getting into the act.  Also saw 6.6" at the Jetport, time of obs not shown.

That's me - 6.6" was as of 7AM; 7.3" as of 1PM.

Our ratios are more what I'm accustomed to on the coast:

4:1 at midnight

9:1 at 7AM

12:1 at 1PM

Overall 9:1

Another 0.7" on 0.06" liquid at the 1PM obs

Event total 7.3" on 0.82" liquid.

Looking like we'll tack on another tenth or two before it stops.

Fairly narrow swath for monday.

Need a shift for Monday.  More optimistic about Wednesday.

6.3" on 0.68" liquid new from 12-7A

6.6" total on 0.76" liquid
