Damage In Tolland Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Houston we have a problem. Never in a million years did I ever think the four foot fence I put up not be tall enough to contain two 14 inch Bichons , assumption fail. Had to dig a moat.

ScituateWX Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 The MONSTER! The 96 countour waiting to go to the graveyard Bush FAIL Side Yard It might not be the best snow pack thats for sure but just the duration of how long we have had a nice snow pack is really cool in my mind especially down my way which is rare!

CapturedNature Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Here's some of the snow banks along the main road through my town. This gives you an idea of scale. I have a full size PU and the guy in front of me has one too. Oh, that's a semi coming the other way. I have a sugar bush on the left hand side and I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get in there. Even if I get by the banks, it's still 3-4' on the level in there.

That's pretty impressive. Those banks are huge. Great pictures, everyone... thanks for sharing. Only around two feet on the ground here (I never thought I'd be saying, *only 2 feet*) so we've got some catching up to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yesterday on the way home . I spent some time admiring the banks and piles, even down here in SECT things are totally impressive. Probably maxed out for depth as the sun is getting stronger but maintenance of depth looks pretty good and if we pop a good one maybe a foot increase. At any rate the piles are unreal in the commercial lots, we should start a pool , take a picture of a random pile and predict the last day of it's existence, preferably a shady pile.

cpickett79 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 You need to get out of your car and give us some depth pictures not ugly road shots.LOL i think it's a horse drawn carriage. If i can get some more icing on top of this pack i think i may wet my pants. Temps should drop like a freakin rock tonite....i'm still under clear skies ...light winds.....hopefully clouds fill in around 3-5 am.....and seal in the cold.

If I go to the hardware store tomorrow I'll get a yardstick for some depth shots, all I have are tape measurers.lol Also want to do a test pit and try to illuminate the side wall so you can see all the layers from December on.

Dan Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 The electric outlet sitting in the snow is at about 3' - 3 1/2'. At the end of the driveway that pile is almost 9' tall (was higher, but has compressed a bit), can't throw it any higher. The piles along the driveway have already been spread out once, so a very wide base. These pics were taken earlier this morning, probably sitting close to 30" - 33". Probably something we want see around these parts for a long time...really incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I figured my shots from today that I posted in the torch thread should go in here so they can found easily later on.... Here I two I took tonight on Winter Hill: Now compare it to the January 5, 2008 shot where there was roughly a 17" snow pack...maybe a tad higher in spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how that works...lol. But 34" is twice that of 17"...so not surprising that 17" looks pathetic now next to it. At any rate, I have really enjoyed the look of the landscape. It will be nice to freshen it up tonight as you can see the piles were starting to take on a bit of color....even in a quiet neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Nice pics. Plenty of snow depth. Yet...and I believe this is ground truth, we've reached the high water mark and will maintain but week to week drop. By the time we get our next KU if it happens this year, it will be harder to hold depth. Nonetheless, having solid deep snow cover for so long in this Boston area...basically from the solstice possibly to the equinox...is epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry, I hope you are wrong...but I agree that we've probably reached the peak depth. My only hope is we nurse this down about another 12-14" to around 18-20" of depth and then get totally whacked with another KU in early March that dumps 20"....then we'd have that on top of 18-20" of totally incompressible concrete and we'd reach the high water mark again or surpass it....but that's unlikely...however, we always have room for some optimism.

The depths could have been totally unprecedented if we'd gotten one of the storms this week. Everyone was very excited last week about record depths and breaking the 95-96 snowfall totals, but alas, we may have to wait another year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
