40/70 Benchmark Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I would not be AT ALL shocked if March challenges the general depth peak seen in Jan, and the shaded areas eclipse their Jan levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I think we went through that drill about 8 times between December 2007 and January 2009 over two winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Not a large leap of faith....MUCH higher launching pad.....I've only lost about 13" of the peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lost more than that off the peak. I was up at 37" and now down to about 19". Though its easier to lose snow when its higher like that since its usually still compressing decently.

CoastalWx Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I wish we could just get one moisture laden low coming in. None of this two storm junk. We gotta get those separate s/w's to somehow unite though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though its easier to lose snow when its higher like that since its usually still compressing decently. I've lost 13" on the dot, though it's probably more on BIrvings snow board in the rt 3 median. March 1996 rebounded to the tune of a 17" snowpack and I had been wiped CLEAN, before hand.....like I said, currently 20" of calcified crust at the stake.

CoastalWx Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Agreed. We need Tip to tell us how it would only be fitting for the two storm outcome, to be the one that aborts the zygote that is winter. Or maybe that's the -PNA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the equivalent of your snow protected area, we probably have like 23-24"...but most spots are in the 17-20" range now with the exposed sun area on flat ground at 15"....the steep slopes that face south near busy intersections obviously have less and those are areas where you'll start seeing a few bare spots around the bases of shrubs and trees. I'm hoping we add 6" or so to the concrete out there now...it will make it look much healthier again and certainly prettier. That will get the pack to about 2 feet after the new stuff settles, and then we can begin the melt/compression versus new events race to try and build it higher again. The tough part about late Feb and Mar is that in between events you will get assaulted a lot worse than earlier in the winter, so you need to keep them coming.

The lowest measurement that I could find, last night was 17"....so it's like 13-14", currently. Avg depth is likely about 16". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we saw 30" here. most I measured was 28-29" Yeah highest snow depth I've measured since March 2001 when I had up close to 4 feet. You probably had 50" pack where you are in Mar '01. I'm praying for a couple nice events between now and March 10th culminating in a huge nuke to get back up to the high water mark or pass it...but obviously that's asking for a lot.

ORH_wxman Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Can't imagine that......Jaffrey must have had 5'. I don't think anyone had 5 feet...but there were spots over 50"...its gets exponentially harder to add snow depth once you get higher and higher above 30"....nevermind 40" or 50"...the weight just crushes down on itself. But because it becomes so densely packed, its so tough to melt. I remember on like April 10th, there was still snow on open fields of like 8-10" deep and it was much much deeper than that in the woods. It looked like a late February snow pack but it was getting toward mid April. I think the snow in the woods didn't fully melt off up in N ORH county and SW NH until nearly the end of April. It also helped that March 2001 had no torches at all. ORH never hit 50F in the month of March 2001....that is pretty remarkable for March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newry Maine where I was at the time had over 5 feet but that's mountain terrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
