16" at our stake. That's 4" BN for the date, logical as snowfall is 8" BN. However, we never lost all the snow following the 4" on Nov. 11-12 so barring a repeat of March 2012 (or 2010) it will another season for high-end snow cover duration. SDDs - that's a very different story.

Greatest total I spotted in Maine was 3.5" at Union and Belmont - another midcoast town - was the only other site reporting 3". North of my place had many 1-2" reports, south 1.5-3, but my 0.4" on 0.04" reflects the Route 2 snowshield going back into effect. Glad it was for a puny storm rather than one with SECS potential.

Highest SD of the 4 snowy months at my place, easily highest CV. March ranges from 0.6" to 55.5", both the least and most for any DJFM month and only Dec 1999 is close.

We felt the same way in Bergan (Norway) in August 2017 as we walked past the old (and/or reconstructed) Hanseatic League wooden buildings. It rains there perhaps more than anywhere else in the country. Good coffee there and -RA at 60° makes it taste even better. Also, Bergen claims that cinnamon buns were first made there, another plus. The all-day downpour in Oslo was less fun, especially the late afternoon 45-minute wait for the bus back toward our air-bnb during the day's heaviest rain at mid-upper 50s. Every tourist in Oslo was likely doing museums that day (understandably) and buses were often full before they got to our stop. What are you looking at other than the next week or so? The AO is forecast to fall of a cliff after that. We will get help from the arctic, and it is far from too late. I am sure you remember 1993...a dog of a winter until March. Doggy thru late Jan up here, but Feb had more snow than March, though both months had loads. FM 1993 is Farmington's snowiest for that pair, topping even 1969 (snowiest Feb) though '97" in 1993 tops 2001 by a mere 0.4". In 1993 that co-op's snowpack went from a trace on 1/31 to 56" after the superstorm. Feb won't contribute all that much this year; we'll see about March.

Final visible (thru the window screen) flakes just before noon, though ASOS at the AP was still reporting snow. Nothing interesting upstream either. Looks like CF thru N. Maine - FVE 13 with NW wind, MLT 31 and calm.

Or that light is from a train of BDs and misery mist - typical April wx in these parts.

Weenies fighting for space on the Tobin?

0.1" fell sometime 4-5 AM, just cloudy when I left home at 6:45 and didn't see anything falling until 12-15 miles south in Belgrade. Echoes above my place suggest less than 1". Current radar has a 15-20 mile wide "dry band" directly above Route 2. Is traffic so heavy it's vaporizing everything up to 10,000'? Nice burst here in AUG dropped 1"+ between 9 and 10, now back to -SN, maybe 2.5" total.

Some models predict increased snowfall in colder climates for the next few decades, as the modeled increase in precip more than balances snowfall lost to p-type issues.

Lowery day for sure. Something's in the air here in AUG - fog, dz, frdz, can't tell (could go outside, I suppose.) A number of stations reporting precip outside of the areas of radar returns; maybe it's originating too low to give a return.

Very much so. And even though I'm a bit ahead in total snow, my biggest event would rank 3rd on your list. Apart from 2005-06 which didn't have even a 6" event, I've got to go back to 1967-68 in NNJ to find a winter without a storm greater than my current 7" max. Thursday is unlikely to be that storm, but there's time.

The stat-padder produced 3.4" from 0.22" LE. If dendrite growth is decent we could double that.

Finished at3.4" from0.22" LE. No p-type change - I think the Kennebec Highlands kept the warmer air at bay, though temp touched 32 as clouds thinned during the afternoon. Stake at 17", deepest so far this season.

And 77 years ago on nearly the same date, CON hit -37 and PWM a head-exploding -39 just a stone's throw from (mostly) salt water. Even NYC shivered at -8, their 3rd coldest morning on record.

Lot of sleds on the club trail thru our woodlot over the weekend, with enough to run the groomers. Probably not great but snow-hungry sledders who don't trailer to the north country had that itch. Another 4-6 followed by cold would set up the coming weekend just fine.

3.0" of 17:1 fluff overnight. Switched to RA here in AUG, not sure what's happening at home under the dry strip. Yesterday was my 1st 20/20 day, for a mean of zero. Makes 18 of 22 winters here reaching -20 or colder. (Misses were 01-02, 05-06, 09-10, 12-13.)

3.0" from 0.18" LE at 7 AM. Not sure if anything since then, as W. Maine radar features an west-to-east dry area between areas of decent echoes. Only 10-15 miles wide but that's enough to keep my place centered in it.

Wet snow followed by wicked cold can make a real mess. In Jan 1994 in the BGR-area +SN changed to RA then back again as temps dove to subzero. I-95 south of the city had immovable ice clumps 2-4" thick such that going much over 15 mph was hazardous to one's suspension. Even the big graders couldn't scrape off much.

Was surrounded on 3 sides by places getting 2 times as much. Though I'm just north of the map, that green wedge in the upper right tells the tale. Knew it would underperform at home when I left SN with 6" new in AUG to find -SN and <1" on the porch steps. (Shouldn't complain about an 11" event, however.)

Beautiful. The only snow on the trees here is the final inch, after 7 hours of sandblasting had cleaned everything off the branches.

Same here, with some of the same issues. Blower would hit crust and wheels would dig a hole, requiring a backup, and as there had been a lot of ice on the driveway pre-storm, occasionally my feet would slide sideways adding to the fun. Usually takes about an hour or so to clear a 10-12" storm with equivalent LE but this 5" one took just under 2, most time needed since needing 3 hours to clear the Jan 27-28, 2015 blizz, which had 2.17" LE compared to 1.09" from this one. That storm was 9:1 sand and had 12 hours of settling before we got back from SNJ but it also had no crust.

Up to 44.9", still about 6.5" BN for the date.

Storm total 5.0" SN/IP with 1.03" LE plus 0.06" zr over the 2 days. 8:45-4 yesterday 1.5" IP, heaviest sleetfest since moving here, probably 0.65" or so LE. Walking is slightly unsecure as the "earth" moves under one's feet.

Sleet came way inland in Maine, so not a lot of inches to brag up but some solid base under future flakes. Storm sequence here was 2.5" from 0.24" LE on Thursday, 0.06" zr/dz overnight, 1.5" sleet thru 4 PM Friday (Prob. about 0.65" LE) then 1" SN 4-7 PM. 2-day totals: 5.0" and 1.09" LE, all but 0.06" frozen. Pack now 14" and solid. Never had a gust over 20, so no power issues in the foothills.

LEW, AUG, WVL all reporting SN at 2 PM while it remains all IP here, which I find odd. At last BGR still has IP.
