    Measured 3.3" from 0.26" LE at 12:30. Still snowing with very small flakes but it's likely that the 12:30 depth is as tall as it will get, though the ratio will suffer. Forecast at 7 this morning was 2-4, looked later and it was revised to 3-5, probably when the day crew looked at the radar and now-casted. Either way, it verified here.

    Had 3" from 7:30 to 10:30, nice moist feathers, little since but radar shows another patch of decent precip - hope it's white.

    Horrific for sure, not one but two huge losses. May you stay strong through this trial. The bolded reminded me of my mom, years ago. At age 55 she was diagnosed with emphysema, thanks to 40 years of 2-3 packs/day. She quit cold turkey, but over the next 15 years her lung function gradually failed, the final 18 months on O2 24/7. In the last months she felt that she could never get a full breath of air. Her two non-smoking sisters lived into their 90s.

    Current GYX forecast says "cloudy", storm goes like Bass and Norwood.

    0.2" ice on the snowboard, only 0.1" on the twigs. Currently mostly sunny, so the trees should shed later this AM. Used a goodly amount of ashes on the driveway and stairs.

    Had 18" of windblown powder Feb 15-16, then 24" paste bomb March 20-21 at our NNJ home. March 56 thru Feb 61 in NNJ had more big snows than any other place I've lived.

    Adds about 1/25". Horrors!

    Add the Mahoosucs. I can't imagine going thru Mahoosuc Notch in winter. In Sept 1985 a bunch of BPL folks went about halfway, entering from the east, then headed back out. With no pack it was a fun scramble/slither thru the huge boulders.

    Lots of sleds buzzing on the town trails in southern Franklin County, though the scenery isn't quite the equal of the top of Coburn Mt.

    Maybe try cocorahs.org. There's an active observer in Brattleboro, WH-29 (some inactives from the town with lower numbers). I was able to get to that observer's data dump without signing back in, though as a member since 2009 I'm somewhat familiar with the site.

    Rescue dogs On the dim sun menu most of today, after the -12 low. We must've decoupled earlier than the other rad pits. We're almost never colder than BML/HIE on calm nights.

    You've read enough of Tip's tomes to know that he thinks we're all neurotic about snow and cold, himself included. And I won't argue that. Always consider the source.

    Our 1st few months in Fort Kent (and some other periods there) displayed the lots-of-modest events snow. From when we moved there on Jan 1 thru the 1.5" on May 7 as I tilled the garden, we had 93.5" with no events larger than 8". (They did have at least one double-digit storm in Dec 1975.)

    Only 2 minutes totality at CAR. PQI and especially HUL would be longer. So would MLT.

    And 23-24 would make the 6th since 17-18. (I think - I'm well known for misunderstanding things.)

    Mansfield co-op at 3,950' reached 149" in 1969, and hit the 130s in 1996 and 2001. Jay base at 1,875' recorded a 110" pack in 1994 so 70% more near the top might not be impossible. Would be better if they had a Stowe-like opening above 3k with a continuous spot to measure and photograph.

    Feb 1987 was dry and near snowless. However, we'd had 5 storms for 49" in Jan, so cry me a river.
  18. tamarack
    Only 6 (17-18) but still a horrible run.

    My NNJ home average 40", current home just shy of 90 and our years in Fort Kent over 130. Yet that 5-year period in NNJ had big storms like no other time I've experienced. 3/19-20/1956: 24" 2/15-16/1958: 18" 3/20-21/1958: 24" 3/3-4/1960: 18" 12/11-121960: 18" 1/19-20/1961: 20" 2/3-4/1961: 24" (That 60-61 winter also had a 10-12" paste bomb on 3/23 with most falling in 4 hours, also a cold rain on 5/27 that had a few pingers.)

    Same here, 26.5" on 3/14-15/1984 in Fort Kent. Reached 24.5" at my current residence on 2/22-23/2009, also 24" five times - one here, one in FK and 3 in NNJ between 3/56 and 2/61. (That 2/3-4/61 depth involves guesswork due to high winds. A nearby site recorded 27".) 2nd straight January with both temp and snowfall AN. Last January was almost +9 for temps; this month will probably finish between 2 and 4 AN.

    That piqued my curiosity, as we were solidly BN for 2017-18 and even moreso in 2018-19, in which the 4 coldest months were all BN. 2016-17 was AN for DJM but slightly BN for DJFM thanks to March being 5.1° BN.

    99% of this season's tree damage came on Dec 18. We get a gust to near 50 every few years, but that day the gusts continued from 10 AM thru 2 PM.

    First 7 hours brought 3.5" and it looked like an underperformer. Then 2" more 7-9 PM and light stuff past 10 for a total of 5.7", right in the 5-9 forecast. Dry powder but only 9.7-to-1 ratio; probably less than 8:1 until the evening feathers.
  24. tamarack
    Better bands are mostly to my south (and west, and east, and north). Adding to the dense pack, however. Barring a record (and long) thaw, we should have snow OG thru late March.

    My wife just got back from Farmington and said the roads are awful in this Franklin (County) too. I thought with temp near 20 and discussions yesterday we would get high ratios. Have not taken a core but walking in the stuff suggest maybe 8:1 sand.
