So they’re starting to look like we don’t dip back into winter, at least, in terms of any more significant snows? That would be so awesome. I’m ready to melt out fast.

That’s a tremendous forecast discussion. In Philly what I most remember is that it wasn’t that cold as a storm started but the temperature dropped and we got up to about a foot of snow before sleet started mixing in. In Center City, I literally couldn’t walk in any direction facing the wind, because the sleep was slamming into my face so hard. I think we ended up with a little more than a foot but then it got very cold for a couple of days. You were probably in Hooksett then, but what were the snow totals up here? Anybody get 3 feet?

Glad you at least got a nice scene.

And during the late afternoon dumping.

Very hard to know exactly how much fell but I’m probably right around what Bryan got maybe slightly more because I think I was a head earlier in the day. What I can say is that in the fields I have anywhere from about 18 inches to about 27 inches. In the woods about 24 inches to 36 inches. Took my measuring stick with me on my morning walk and the depth change from the day before the storm till this morning looks to be around 12 inches a range of 11 to 14 actually. That probably supports about a 16 or so inch snowfall. The snow on the trees was three standard deviations beyond anything we’ve seen here. Unbelievable that those birches can survive. The dog alternated between having an absolute blast and then sitting down and looking at me like I was crazy and she wanted to go back in the house.

I think you are the winner in the places where people live. Congrats!

I hearby donate all of my remaining potential snow for the season to the DC to Boston corridor

Tuna, I don't ever report my measurements as official. I just pay more attention than the average person. I suppose I could try a board though, that'd be interesting. I'm pretty confident I got 15-16 today (even with my shoddy technique lol). What a fun day!

huge flakes dumping. not sure what I have, but def. 15+

Pivoting and joining with the band to the west. 18+ you and me and 2' for mama. This stuff has to be 2-3/hour. More yellow please.

The pivot is starting in that band that goes from Dover, ME down into SNE. I think whoever is in it now is going to be in it as it pivots, and then those to the east get some love.

Jeebus this band is really intensifying. Is that subsidence right to the east? I hope we keep the band! How much do you have so far?

Nice band from downeast right through and past Concord. Just getting into that dumpage.

I have no spot that I can measure undisturbed. This morning I had a good untouched measurement of 7.5 but then the shoveling and the tractor, snowblower etc. and from that point I measured when I shoveled. So I'm defintitely confident of having had 11+ just given rates since the 7.5, but I know it isn't proper.

I clear whenever I get my ass up and outside lol. Not an official measurer. Sometimes every 2 hours, sometimes every 4. My best guess is 11.5. Did you see my earlier post to Chris about the huge local differences just in Boscawen? Hoping we can stay in some good banding and break 15.

pics from earlier. just started dumping again.

Based on measuring every 2-3 hours where I've cleared, 11.5" with mod-heavy snow 1/4 viz. 16-22 pack in the fields and 24-27 in the woods (highest of the season)

we've transitioned to that fun kinda snow, with small flakes, blowing almost vertically....I guess 1-2/hour? It is drier and this has helped some of the hardwoods shed snow but the pines are still somewhat loaded. If we get much windier and if the intensity continues, we could get near blizzard conditions.

Chris the comment in the GYX discussion about 600' being the key elevation was right on target. My house is at 625. We had 8" about an hour ago. We have a 1500' driveway and it is about 525 at the bottom. There was an inch less at the bottom. Drove down our road towards the main road (King St.) in Boscawen and as I descended through 400' it was mostly wet slush and maybe 3". Friends in Canterbury were at 3" and were shocked to hear we had 8. Our trees are caked dangerously and they had no issue in their woods. Remarkable local differences.

pics rarely do it justice, but we are near 1/8 or maybe under and the wind is starting to crank.

Viz is below 1/8 now. REally rocking. Huge differences between 625' and 450'

heavy snow and blowing here. temperature falling to 30. Real nice scene, but slushy and wet literally 200 feet below.

7.5” at noon so 2.5 in 3.5 hrs. interesting very localized effects with friends only a few miles away and not at a much lower elevation only having received about 3 inches with no problems with snow on trees or anything. They were shocked to hear how much we had. And 7 1/2 is a fairly conservative estimate.

Quite a strong finish this year, and good to get more peeps involved in the fun. Not really looking forward to this pack staying around for too much longer.
