Damage In Tolland Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I had 18 this morning..so maybe I'm left with 14-15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 i'll be interest to see how much is lost tomorrow...I bet not much at all since all the compacting is basically done...it can't really compact any more. It might halt at 16-18". Prob about 19-20" out there this morning (it was like 22-23 last night when I left...pack numbers are similar to those spots in N ORH county...maybe an inch or two less). But its going to be a total brick after FROPA. When the real cold gets here, we'll be able to stand on it. Like you said..you guys won't lose much with such high water content and compacted snow outside of total sunny spots. Even the snow I have is doing well...cold ground certainly helps too.

ORH_wxman Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Like you said..you guys won't lose much with such high water content and compacted snow outside of total sunny spots. Even the snow I have is doing well...cold ground certainly helps too. I think your area will escape with a pretty good pack. There was still like a foot of mashed potatoes here in Boston when I was outside at lunch a couple hours ago. I'm sure the south facing slopes along busy streets and such will have some bare spots in BOS, but the regular areas like Boston Common and here at Copley Square will keep it. I don't think tomorrow will be enough...and today is looking pretty shot for much of a warm sector....maybe really briefly if it happens. How much you have...is it like Boston? I know there's kind of a dividing line not too far south and southeast...you can see on the map I posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's kind of a dividing line not too far south and southeast...you can see on the map I posted. I am right on the line. I think I may have close or a hair less than BOS because they had 4" of mash potatoes in that storm while I was raining. I did have more from the other storm last week..but I noticed even Milton had a few inches more OTG than here and that it like 5 miles as the crow flies. Definitely rare to see such a sharp rain/snow line but my longitude hurt a bit there. Once in a while that will happen. The problem is that I have a lot of exposure to the sun so locally I will have patches I think. It's one of those things where in the woods they'll be snow and also shaded areas, but half the yard is bare..lol. I also noticed the S-shore down by Hanover and Marshfield have just as much snow as I have. That is a heavily wooded area and they do a lot better than many think for snowpack preservation. I was there two days ago and was actually surprised how much was left. They still have snow OTG from January. I did notice my elevation in a few events this year helped. I know it's only 120'...but that surprise snow in January that gave NE MA that 4-5" of snow was where I saw a difference. Sea level is right down the street and there wasn't much OTG, but once I drove up the incline to my house..you could see it stuck to the trees much more easier and I ended up with over an inch IIRC. 33.0F vs 32.4F can mean quite a bit.

CoastalWx Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 It's funny, my street is shaped like a C and the part that arches back is down a bit in elevation and shaded so even this aftn it was still snow and ice packed. I realize that is the weenie spot with snow still from January there as well. All the houses have deep snow there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cja1987 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 How much you have...is it like Boston? I know there's kind of a dividing line not too far south and southeast...you can see on the map I posted. Big dividing line is about the Bridgewater's in the RT 24 corridor. Raynham on the TAN line is on life support for snow, probably showing grass by now. Using that as an example because I have been going there multiple times per week for a bit. Here in Randolph we are 12-15"+ OTG and way bigger/more piles. I dont want to count chickens before they hatch but I'm amazed at the lack of torch here today for me, BostonWX and CoastalWX's general area. I think its pretty rare to see the furnace get to a GHG-TAN line and not keep on trucking right to BOS or so. Lightning as I type this... Its gotta be ways away but brilliant flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its gotta be ways away but brilliant flash As usual it did briefly catch us... But we're in the zone that gets torched for far fewer hours than the true south shore. Quincy/Braintree/Randolph/Milton area to about Jamaica Plain to Logan is a transition climo zone between coast and interior for these torch CFs usually. Still easily 12 inches here as well. Hingham looked like it had no more than 8 or 9 inches and this was before the torch hit the area (6 pm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Measured 13-15" tonight. Temperature down to 32 finally, so a nice refreeze in progress. Hopefully we get a nice big storm to replenish the snow we lost. A 12 inch type event would just be so so nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I feel like tomorrow is going to hurt more than we think. MAV has 58F at TAN and OWD tomorrow with full sun. Yeah dews are low, but combined with the wind we'll have a higher evap/sublimation rate. Hopefully it's just 2-3 inches lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorEastermass128 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Probably 12-15" of mashed potatoes left. Still have towering snow banks along the driveway. We'll see what today's low dew torch destroys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah dews are low, but combined with the wind we'll have a higher evap/sublimation rate. Hopefully it's just 2-3 inches lost. Today's going to be a melting disaster. Torch, full-sun with a decent sun-angle. Just a disaster. I bet they'll be tapping trees today. The location of the tap holes provides a great record of what snow-depth has been over the years in late February. There are some at some incredible heights and a few at some pretty meh ones. I'm going to rank this as a relatively 'meh' height. I just realized that daylight savings time begins in three weeks. 28.9/28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Ski-reports in NNE tell the story: Wildcat: Today is looking - dare I say it - to be Spring-like. The high is going to be mid-forties and the sun should be out more than not so the last wild card here is the wind which might pick up as the day goes on but should start out somewhat gentle Attitash: Today's forecast calls for highs in the low 40s with mostly sunny skies and light winds. Surface conditions will be spring-like and variable due to the latest batch of weather. A firm morning should soften up to spring conditions once the warm and sun hits the slopes. We're looking at another warm day tomorrow so wrap up vacation week in style Stowe: (lol at the spin on the temps): With those seasonably comfortable temperatures, along with ample sunshine, it is looking like an excellent Saturday to be outside skiing & riding here at Stowe - See more at: http://www.stowe.com/ski-ride/#sthash.CQPDDPb0.dpuf Sunday River: Remember how we promised you sunny skies today? Well, thankfully, the weather didn't make liars of us. We see some goggle tans in our (your) very near futures.....we've got 135 trails open or scheduled to be open (some of our natural terrain is just awaiting the OK), so you'll have plenty of ways to kill time out there, waiting for those tan lines to set in.
