Sugarloaf1989 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 There's about 4-6" of snowcover here with 100% coverage in all areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowciopath Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 About 6-7" of snow in the front yard, and 8-11" in my refrigerator of a backyard. 100% coverage except under the pine trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Under 90%. Most of the melted areas are really southwest facing slopes. 3"-6" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Estimated average snow depth here (Naugatuck) of 2.5". Varies from 4-5" in shaded spots to patchy grass. The higher elevations just a few miles southeast have noticeably more snow on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 3-4" snow depth with 100% cover here at 800', much less at lower elevations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 17" at BTV but with drifts this is far from an even distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 3-4 feet in the woods up here. Andover and Pittston Farm in ME both sitting on 47" That's probably more than in Aroostook, as the far north has missed out on some of the high water-content events. Looks like about 6" on the lawns outside my AUG office, probably twice that up at the airport, just over 3 feet at home. SWE sample 2 weeks back had 8.02". If I get to it tomorrow I'm expecting about 9.5, as we've had 1.89" this month and almost no melting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I know folks like shade for snowpack retention, but parts of my yard are a canopy of 100ft+ spruces, so those sheltered areas where not as much snow fell to begin with are all bare. Open, undisturbed non-south-facing slopes and fields still have 6-7" though. Just took a core sample of a spot with 7" which yielded 2.4" liquid.

ROOSTA Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I've noticed the Charles River in Boston has been "icebroken" between Charles St and MOS. Must get the ducks in the water, already delayed for the first time since business opened. Inner River Basin is still 70% ice. WOW! Yard at home is covered south facing still about 4" averaging 6-8" of glacier. A very late leaf out, ice out is a safe bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowciopath Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Just took a core sample of 5.8" of snow, which melted down to 3.1" liquid! A 1.9:1 snow:liquid ratio. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it gets to 50% water, its pretty much ready to all melt at once. I think the definition of a ripe snowpack in hydro terms is 40-50% water. Last spring on the mountain, my hydro survey in April yielded 60" of snow depth and 26-27" of liquid (pretty much an entire winter's worth of precipitation). That was right before the snow really started releasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
