40/70 Benchmark Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Who cares at this point...we aren't adding on and it's March....rip the band aid off.

OKpowdah Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 My parents said last night that they lost 20" of snow pack in 24 hours in Keene. Down from 34" to 14" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually ... that degree of precision over-states the frustration, because at the 10 Quadrillionth decimal place that is already way smaller than quontom scale, and would thus be well within tolerance for distinguishing between solid and fluid mass states based on Newton's second law of thermodynamics.

weatherMA Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Ended with 1.7" of rain, but looks like JUST to the SE it dropped off quickly. Snow pack is 4-8" in shaded areas and bare on sunny areas. Meh. Still want one more storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly have not seen more than 36" on the ground at any location I've lived at. I'm not talking all-time snow depths (this is my first winter here, 7th in Vermont and BTV just does not see deep snowpack)... this is big but nothing near historic for this area. I'm only talking personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Here's a pic of drifts on the mountain... this trail was groomed around midnight last night, flat from side to side. At 9am one half of the trail was covered in 5-8 foot drifts, the other half of the trail was passable. I should've gotten a skier passing by for reference, but the drifts on the left dwarfed skiers/riders. The tallest one is easily 8 feet deep above the groomed surface below. This is basically the story of today...big, big snow. If only every rainstorm could end with a nice two-footer plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I never was comparing or implying anything with regard to SNE... just stating what I have now, lol. But I am glad they got to see this amount of snow on the ground; it truly is surreal when fences start completely disappearing. It is still snowing so hopefully we add to this... more snow coming later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I know that, I only implicated sne as a point of reference because I thought that you would have witnessed a greater depth than that. Yeah, I mean I've only been in VT for 7 years and before that grew up in the Hudson Valley near Albany where depths definitely do not reach that level. I figured spots in SNE hit this depth after SNE's epic, epic stretch in January.. if it didn't hit this level of snow given the historical precedent at the time I would've been surprised. Either way, 3 feet out there sure looks purty. Town is buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Kev, Will and Steve had over 3' depth in early Feb, but I peaked at about 33". That was the 3rd time we managed over 36" OTG here since I've been living here. Peaked at 37-38"...the previous two times were higher. About 45" in January 1996 and just under 4 feet in March 2001. '92-'93 got over 30" a couple times but never got to 3 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Well, lets be clear....I am 30 yrs old and had never seen quite that depth before......so that is not common place.

OSUmetstud Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Ot...but I was just reading about the Chinese 2008 Ice Storm in BAMS...really nuts. The ice lasted for 27 days and accumulated 160 mm in spots....with 100 mm on the road in spots. It was over a massive area. Seems to put even the january 1998 ice storm to shame.

The last time it happened before 1996 I believe was 1966 and then again 1961 before that. I'd have to double check though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to double check though. How about March 1967? How much did you have? What was the peak depth in the Feb 61? We got up to 32" here downtown...there was probably near 40" in some of the higher protected areas after the 24" blizzard in 2/61. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
