Lava Rock

When was the last winter where there were no coastals?

Picked up 0.5" last night.

On FB in the last week, I have seen a lot of pics in this area from people of owls, I curious to the reason why.

Ended up with 1.3" in that heavy burst that lasted an hr or so and also had a visitor sitting on top of my snow gauge right in the middle of it.................

Back to useless cold next week. Maybe someone can “score” from that dinky clipper.

Maine, Area wise is huge, Elevation plays a big role and storm track as well, You have to remember, This year we had many of these systems that the primary remained west of here, And really had no big coastal storms that would favor down our way, So that favored the foothills and Northern areas that stayed all snow and we had several mixed events here that cut into the totals with low ratios.

Partly sharp gradient, but also merely climo asserting itself.  Long term average at 1st CT Lake is about 160", so while they're AN, it's not at record level - they measured 261" in 1970-71.  I'm 0.2" shy of 100 (have not added the Monday evening half inch to my sig) which is 20+ above you and Jeff.  The Farmington co-op's long term average is 90, LEW closer to 70.  For the 8 full years we've been on Kev W's snow table (starting 2010-11 and not counting this winter), my average has been 94", a bit AN.  Jeff's has been 93.6".  When climo points to a 20" difference but recent years show almost none, it's inevitable that the averages will bite back.

If we get no more snow this season, my avg over the same period would be 84.29". Not too bad and certainly AN.

Was not even that distance

Yes, Definitely just missed an 07/08 type year,  More elevation dependent this winter, It was this close to being epic here.......

I don't have exact % of avg snowfall by area, but Caribou is what near 150% this year and we're about avg. How often is there such a large difference in % avg between regions say in the same state? Another words, more often than not, wouldn't the state as a whole be either avg, below avg or above avg?

What's you season total? John up in Pittsburg is at 195". Awesome winter up there

We've done a lot better for snow here, so this winter will have 2 memorable aspects for me.  The first is length of continuous snow cover, which began here on Nov. 10 and now runs 123 days.  Most in the 20 years here is 142; if this year doesn't top that, there will be some flood headlines as a foot of LE would have to go downriver by month's end.  The second is not quite so nice - it's the plethora of snow-to-yuck events and lousy ratios even when it's all snow.  I've measured 12 events with 3 ' or more (which is high end for here), they total 72" - no blockbusters - and the average ratio is a tiny bit above 8:1.  Unless we get an 18" bomb with ratios above 15:1, this season will eclipse 2009-10 (year of the double-digit 4:1 storm) as poorest ratios.
Looking at summer preferences, my ideal summer day is 75/55 with dews about 50.  It can be 90 in the garden, but not when I'm there.    While I've donned warm outerwear in some recent early Junes (days with mid 40s RA), July-August essentially cannot get cold enough for me to take a jacket out of the closet, other than a rain jacket when advisable.

Crickets in here.

The pack is as deep as it's been all winter. Too bad she's gonna melt this week.

See how much of this melts today

4.0" looks to do it. Somewhat sad this will likely be the end to the pack building.

2.8". Back edge looks near

Looking at settings now....do you follow threads?

Is there a problem with the server sending email notifications even though I turn them off? If I reply using Tapatalk, for some reason that turns on email notifications and my inbox gets flooded.

Gyx dropped from 4" to 3". I'll assume we get 2". Too predictable

Maybe 60s.

50s by Friday up here? Wasn't expecting that

12Z Euro sure does increase qpf up here.   About .75" and it looks to be mostly or all snow for me.  Is this to be believed.  I've had enough and don't need to add to the pack.

don't worry, it'll melt by weds.
