40/70 Benchmark Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Nice setup and def heavy heavy snowpack. I can now see why your temp read so low during the torch. It's submerged in snow lol The sensor is protected, but it stays colder right near the ground.....I honestly really don't care what the temp in on my roof.....I care what it is1M over my pack.

free_man Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 SNE has had anywhere from 10-20" since winter was over. lol. Have they? Maybe right near the border towns ..if you want to be icky about it and call the area I live SNE, yes it has been wintry. However I said CNE and NNE the snow and winter wx will continue to cover that aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All after "winter was over." You could argue that south CT/RI and the cape haven't much snow but that's climo at the end of Feb. BOS and ORH are above normal for the month sf. lol.

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Deck is about ~2' off of the ground. That 29" (Just under 40" @ the peak) depth area is obviosuly not in any way, shape or form representative of the area......it gets absoloutely zero sun and I mean literally NONE. My avg depth is likely about 20". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 There are a few other areas around town that still have cars buried above their wheel wells, but that is obviously the exception rather than the rule, at the point. That deck area is not a drift, though.....it's just as sheltered as you can get....it's a level depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveyLeonardFan Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Great pics Moneypit. Quintessential New England countryside!! When tourists think of New England they think of a couple things. Boston, the colleges...the colonial history..the Red Sox...the old fashioned countryside and of course the coastline. And for those of us who live on the coastline...the south coast, cape and the islands...Birving has been dead on. Hundreds of thousands of people travel to the South Coast, Cape and Islands every year and yes....we are still part of New England. And, yes, the substantial part of our winter (snow wise) basically ended in late January. The Feb. 2 storm dumped no more than 3 inches or less in these areas...and the last two snow events have been insignificant and low impact for us. Although BIrvings proclamations have been met with stiff resistance in this space, his forecast for the southern half of SNE from PVD-TAN on south has been excellent.

moneypitmike Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 nice guitars, didn't know you played. One would think I play a lot better than I actually do as I have six of them. Boy--what a dead board this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Here are some pics. At peak depth of 34" this morning. 32" was the previous peak on Feb 2. It seems like a lot more snow though, probably because while the depth on the level is similar, the piles are bigger. It is really an incredible scene and if we manage to get snow this weekend and next week it will become epic. Something like 32" in our supposedly disastorous February. The tree in the second pic is like 8 ft tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 LOL...Ray, there was a general feeling of disaster in the thread, and indeed we went almost 3 weeks without appreciable snow. But we recovered in a big way! Dave, we succeeded in getting the snow off of the worst most vulnerable part of the roof. Actually the new snow anchored the ladder well. the only suffering was me at the bottom, holding the ladder and getting snow dumped on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Snow study=safe place to burn one.lol Haha, so far the locals have not discovered this spot... no one knows how to get in here which is why we picked it. It would not surprise me to show up one day and interupt a smoke session. I had just under 2" of sleet (sand-like snow) at this location yesterday... this was after I reset the snow board.

free_man Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 yes? Will has had 12-13", I've had 10", BOS has had 9-10", southern NH has had 15-20", Kevin has had abot 10-12". All after "winter was over." You could argue that south CT/RI and the cape haven't much snow but that's climo at the end of Feb. BOS and ORH are above normal for the month sf. lol. you are arguing something completely different. What I said was, "No more snowstorms for SNE until at least early March" and I even said "March 8-11 looks good for potential" That was two-almost three weeks ago I said that, not recently. What I also said was " SW CT would not see a winter storm until next season, they are done" Finally I said that NNE would do very well in this pattern compared to SNE. All of those things have happened since Feb 10th. Since 2/8, how much snow has ORH BOS KEV GAY had? Don't give the overall month total because it is irrelevant. The pattern went to crap 2nd week of Feb and you're taking snowfall from a different regime when SNE was still in the game, so to speak. It's been a huge gradient for snowfall since, you know it and I know it. It's been all CNE and north since (including N parts of SNE that are more climo-orientated like CNE). We have had 15.8" here in the past week. How much has BOS had, or TAN, HFD, even ORH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
