NorEastermass128 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Not a blade of grass anywhere. Sure took a beat-down, the usual spots that are exposed to direct sun are still a solid 8-12" Could be the longest duration of snowcover since living here. Aside from only a few days with minimal snow cover (patches) during the torch at Christmas, early Jan --- Snow cover has held steady since mid DEC.

CoastalWx Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I think 2011 will be the benchmark for snow pack here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I think 2011 will be the benchmark for snow pack here. 2005 for me from what I can remember. Think I had closed to 36". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 2005 for me from what I can remember. Think I had closed to 36". Well I guess I mean in terms of depth and longevity. If we can tack on a couple of storms next week and have an active March, then I think we can make a run for a top snowpack March locally. Other than typical torch spots that are angled to the south and /or south face slopes...the snow had tenacity here. Better than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 We'll probably never match March 2001 back in the interior ORH-Monadnocks region...at least anytime soon. Even with still a healthy 15-20" pack over this region now, it would take some pretty huge storms in the next 2 weeks to even think about matching 2001. Depths were in the 4 feet range and over 50" in many spots...that is really pretty special when you are getting that deep any time of the year...nevermind middle March. But regardless, we'll def have a chance at another excellent snow pack March like in 2013. Pattern looks quite favorable for continued snow threats through at least 3/10.

rgwp96 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 still avg about 12 inches here. amazing considering i had 3 days well into the 50s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Had to take a drive to Norwood today and quite the difference in snowpack. Very deep just past Canton. The difference really stems from 2/13 when that area had 4" of mash potatoes and I had mostly rain. The line is literally my town. I haven't been SE of here, but it appears it diminishes quite a bit.

CoastalWx Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Foxboro still has a solid 6-8" Even the sunny areas had that and more in the shade. Granted it was just a casual ob I took driving by at 40mph..but pretty good pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 still avg about 12 inches here. amazing considering i had 3 days well into the 50s And that's without evergreens for shade. The dry warmth seems less destructive than the snow-eating fog. I had mid-40s in 3 of the past 4 days and lost only 4", down to 27". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Average snowcover around here is about 8-12" depending upon elevation and exposure. Still holding on to 100% snowcover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Eh, didn't have quite that at work unless shaded perhaps.I have very tall trees and most of my apartment complex stays out of the sun. On merrimack campus less shafed areas are probably 8-10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I finally went out to measure. I can walk on it now without falling most of the time. Lowest I measured was 8" in a sheltered area, but talking strictly out in the middle of my yard, it's a solid 9"-12" with most spots being closer to 11", so that BDL reading of 10" is probably accurate.

codfishsnowman Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 since the cool down ive lost a good two more inches on avg. the stuff is so solid now that i can walk on it and im a rather large fella....4 to 10 avg, i would think as long as it stays cold the melting or sublimating should continue to slow.

Damage In Tolland Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Tolland DPW came around this morning with one of those wing blade side plows and pushed all the snow banks back and made them 4-6 feet deep to get ready for the next 2 storms next week. We ain't seeing grass for a long long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Lots of torch spots facing south and sloped have grass, but for the most part it's snow covered even in the woods. Funny how variable it can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can walk on it without sinking in..but these snow/ice banks are just insane That's because you weigh 110lbs. You should get down lower in your first shot. I'm also surprised at what I have left. However 2 towns over has about what you have. I am right on the line where snowpack rapidly changes from NW-SE. Once I get to March..snowpack means less vs getting actual snow. We are all losing a bit of snow everyday in sun drenched areas no matter the temp. That will only increase heading through March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well even you at 275lbs. could probably still walk on it for the most part. if we add on another 18-24 inches over the next 10 days..there should be solid cover into late march at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
