cheetah440 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 A-. Imagine if we didn't melt over a foot in Dec?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 When did it melt? I see a lot of coastal peeps here saying their pack will last til May, but my experience with 100"+ seasons (and 36" packs) is that by the end of April it is gone. I had snow linger until May 2nd in my backyard where it's shady. That day was also ice-out on Lake Winnipesaukee. The amount of winterkill the lawn suffered that year was unreal.

cheetah440 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I only lost about 8". We lost more than that on new years day alone. hit about 60F here in Billerica. You must be in a cold pocket there in Wilmington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Wizard Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 A big fat ugly D for my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Solid C and moving up; 2 weeks ago it was a D, due to mild rainy Dec and early Jan thaw (and only the 8" on 12/27 enabled a passing grade.) Today's 2/-20 brought my Jan avg temp so far right on to the 13-yr avg thru 1/24, and season's snowfall is about 1" above. Latest I've had continuous 1"+ snowcover IMBY is 4/23/01. Depth was 47" on 4/1 that yr, but highs 70s to 80 on 21-24 took away all but the piles. Only place I've had snow cover last into May was when I lived in the back settlement in Ft. Kent. Latest for continouous cover was 5/3/82, thanks to the April blizzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collinsville Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 This is the best winter for me since 95-96 02-03 is king since 96. this year still has got a ton of work to do to top it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKpowdah Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 B+ Classic cold snowy winter, but nothing spectacular here. Only way this gets bumped to an A in the coming months is if SW NH jackpots at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJonesWX Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 December gets a solid D. Too dry for my liking January so far gets an A. if there was no NY Day torch it would be an A+. So far I would grade winter as a B-, but that grade is going up almost every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivers Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 A+ and its been snowing here since 5 am . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitemountainhiker Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Well lets see. a cold December, 20+ inches on the Boxing Day storm, 12 inches 2 weeks ago, a few other 3-6 inches, (about 45 inches since Dec 27) and -28 Monday morning, the 4th coldest recorded temperature in Lebanon. That would be an A+ The whole thaw at the beginning of Jan is a normal part of winter in New Eng, and it only lasted a couple days. Yeah we lost most of the snow pack, but at least the deer arent suffering because of deeper snow. Yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 B+/A- Snowfall has been prolific along with snowpack but I have been on the crap end of the cf in the snowstorms. 2004/05 still better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Winter is roughly half over and I'm at 50% of average so that would warrant a C. I'll bump up to C+ for the active pattern, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-/B so far down here. above normal snowfall and AOB normal temps. not nearly as crazy as what's happened over the rest of SNE but fine by Cape Cod standards.

Allenson Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'll give it a B here so far....although getting completely snubbed yesterday/lst night and little on the near-term horizon tempts me to go with a B-..... We're at roughly 50% of average annual snowfall at my house, we've got 18" at the stake and a -23F low tucked in there. So, not too shabby despite it being a very peripheral year regarding snow events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I might bump it to a B is because we haven't had any melting to speak of. I haven't really goten up to 30° since the New Years mini-meltdown.

vttaconics Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 C.... but I might have to revise downward if the status quo continues. Snow on the ground, but not a damn synoptic event to speak of. Tired of listening to my folks in CT pissing and moaning about the mounds of snow outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Sounds like my situation (50% of aas, 19" on ground, -22.6F low) but I'm a very tough grader with the C+ Not that tough. (and does your area avg 80-85" snow? That's what it would need for 39" thru 1/27 to be 50%.) My earlier "solid C" was based on 3" more snow than you've had, 4" less OG, and a -20 low for my usually colder location. But I'm sliding it back to C-, due to this latest whiff and some further thought: ---Oct-Nov: Both milder than avg, snow slightly below: D ---Dec: Temp above avg, snow right on avg, missed the best of Boxing Day, big wet thaw midmonth, equals D+ or C-. ---Jan so far: Temp right at avg, snowfall a hair above but almost always less than points east, south, west (and north, if one doesn't go too far.) Give it a C, meaning no deduction for frustration factor. Even with a light weight for O/N, adds to C- at best. If 12z gfs is on target, will be down to D+ in a week. Hope the other models are currently closer to what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
