After the super cold swfe that's what I had for peak depths. As far as met winter goes this really has been almost wire to wire.
-
Yup. Sweet little event from the Mountain north and high impact. Not nearly as much snow below the pike down here but it cranked for a little while and then we had a nice layer of zr on everything for at least a modest impact. Yesterday turned out pretty wintry almost statewide. The fog and zr after effects are stunning here and still a respectable pack. One would never know the sun was out not far up.

Looks like over two feet otg?

What's the pack like?

2025-2026 New England Snow Recordkeeping Thread

1.0 today......seasonal total 47.1 inches -
How can a modest amount of zr be better than several inches of fresh snow on a still very decent pack?? Your zr fetish amazes me. I hope you really clean up tonight.
-
Solid inch of snow before the changeover. Was a quick inch too, all really between three and four pm then light mix and now light zr. Makes up a little for the one to two flakes on Sunday . Exactly what I was praying for to happen here happened 25 miles plus to the north....so close but so far Happy for the folks up north. This afternoon and evening should have put back most of what may have been lost Saturday up there. Must still be some big on the ground totals up north as well. Warm up looks slightly less robust in the short term anyways

Good God I hope not
-
I hope we get a surprise inch or two of snow to make up for yesterday's nothing burger This can't be it for the season....as bad as it is in this death valley there's got to be a little more to squeeze out of Mother Nature. End of the week looks horrible
-
I vividly remember reading the posts in here from Northeast mass as that was starting, at least until most lost power out that way That was some crazy weather and I remember a kid I worked with in the summer show me what over 30 inches of snow looked like in SE New York.
-
I really hope winter isn't over... We've avoided cutters all winter and its been great. I hope that warm forecast turns into misery mist in the 30s before 55 plus and partly cloudy
-
Oh my God!!
-
Just a couple flakes.....I thought we were going to get an inch or two Bummer
-
So a net increase of 11 inches from a snowfall of how much?
-
Ok well that's big if the metars had over 30 the next day of the new snow. My former supervisor and a coworker (Green Hill and Coventry RI respectively) each sent me a few pictures and it looked like at least thirty inches of snow at both places. Unless he didn't drive all over the place but said he did?? I don't know and its giving me a headache lol. I guess I just wish he had gotten buried.

So the areas he measured away from his neighborhood did have more snow. Seems they were generally 16-18 new snow otg and a decent amount of old snow which he clearly finds with the yard stick. So I can see the new snow compacting a few inches from the depth when the last flakes fell which pushes the total to say a roughly 20 inches when the snow stopped . I understand by measuring every six hours with those crazy rates , snow settling under its own weight , winds pulverizing the flakes, temps 29-33 causing a wetter snow etc one is certainly going to get bigger numbers for snowfall. But is the difference really ten to fifteen inches making storm total snowfall 30-35 inches? It just seems like a 30-35 inch snowfall would leave a depth of 24 to 30 inches on top of the old snowfall and then overnight and next morning til he got there to measure would find depths around 21 to 27 inches. I have never had a situation like this to deal with so I don't really know. Just seems like reporting 36 inches of snowfall and then not even twenty four hours later a settled depth of 18-19 inches is suspicious. I know the difference between snowfall and snow depth. Listen he is a lot but I think his researching the issue was more than reasonable and doesn't make him more crazy.

2025-2026 New England Snow Recordkeeping Thread
codfishsnowman replied to bristolri_wx's topic in New England
1.4 today.....46.1 season to date Call it seasonal average reached....the winter already has an A in the bag with the extended cold , frequency of snow events, lack of cutters and days over 50F, one big event and snow otg much of the winter with deep snow otg for over a month! The only thing that would bring this to an A+ would be one more big storm 15 plus or another 25 inches of accumulating snow. -

Especially with the timing...at least for most of CT. Was there even a special weather statement? -
Wow...even Worcester varied a lot.
-
BDL used to be terrible back in the 90s and early 2000s. Those PNS statements are pretty wild too, especially Upton's. Sometimes the same towns with similar time stamps are 15-20 plus inches different lol Agree it was ordinary made much more dramatic by all the wind. At least we will make our 50 inch "average" this year.

I'm only 3 miles from the CT border and I only got 6 inches.

I'm going to record six inches. Anything more than that I think is suspicious. -

In good conscience I can only record 6 inches where I am. It was very disappointing but watching the system bury the bottom half of RI was pretty cool. Tracking the system for a few days was cool too. It seemed from just north of Providence the amounts for awhile went down pretty quick...that is one of the biggest variances in snow amounts over a short distance I have ever heard of , Inverted troughs aside.
