HoarfrostHubb Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 This year, many folks did quite well as compared to climo. Others not so much. Who got the shaft this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Not King Tootankhamen, any longer. I'm still below average. Can anybody else make that claim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomNH Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Who else but Nashua? Above average by 8'', but still a low total compared to everyone else around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 The snow map this year should be interesting....though we still have quite a ways to go despite the pattern looking terrible through D8-10...especially for the CNE portion of my map and the interior hills.

Looks like CNE, NNE scores more snow from the SW flow event Thursday. Even may start as snow here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Relative to the rest of SNE maybe the Cape? Although they had an above average year as well. TBH I thought I would easily hit 100" after having 74" on Feb 2. Now on March 7 I have 84". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I thought I would easily hit 100" after having 74" on Feb 2. Now on March 7 I have 84". Places like Block Island and Newport, RI didn't do that well along with the Cape. I could see parts of the Outer Cape that didn't do well in the 12/19 storm being around average or slightly below...there was a lot of mixing in that storm further out.

DomNH Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 You were my first guess, then maybe around Winchendon No complaints though...any winter with a KU and above average snowfall is a good one. 10'' in the last week or so of February really helped.

ORH_wxman Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 What do you average? I forget his elevation but I think its right around 500 feet. If that's the case, then he probably averages about 64" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Co-worker of mine who's a met and lives in Bristol RI said he has 37" iirc. That's gotta be a sick gradient between him and areas just nw of PVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it 1/12/11 that really pounded them or the 1/27 event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it 1/12/11 that really pounded them or the 1/27 event? Parts of nw RI got 20-21" during 1/12 and then got into the good banding during 1/27 with 15" or so.

ORH_wxman Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Yeah... 475'. A general rule of thumb for most of our region is that for every 100 feet of elevation, you add roughly 1" of seasonal snowfall...all else being equal (i.e. latitude, proximity to ocean, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Burrillville got 17" in 1/27 and got 21" in 1/12. The difference between The western Hills of RI and PVD is about 40 inches, also people need to understand PVD is in Warwick on the bay not Providence which got a lot more.

So you average 70-72"? A little farther north and 400-500' higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 hmm, interesting. So you average 70-72"? A little farther north and 400-500' higher? Probably not quite that high...maybe about what the airport does (69")...I'm north of them by 3-4 miles but also a bit lower so it likely cancels out. Are you north of Rt 9? Latitude on the order of a mile or 3 won't do much. But it will become noticeable once you get to the 8-10 mile mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarveyLeonardFan Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Co-worker of mine who's a met and lives in Bristol RI said he has 37" iirc. That's gotta be a sick gradient between him and areas just nw of PVD. Scott, is that 37 inch total he is quoting you an estimate or an actual figure??? I didn't measure every storm, but my educated estimate for the southern tip of Newport was 35 inches....And I'm at least 13 miles south of him...and with just about every event this winter the farther north one headed up Aquidneck Island snow depths increased rather substantially....My guess is Bristol had between 45-50+. Portsmouth, RI sits on the same island (Aquidneck) that Newport sits on...and is due South of Bristol by only a mile...and whenever I was in Portsmouth they had double the amount of snow Newport had.

Mattfm always complains that PVD lowballs the snow totals and he's right. PVD can't measure snow for shi! but it's an easy and great airport to fly into and out of effortlessly. It's come a long way and grown up a lot since the mid-1990s.....but I'm a traditionalist who still misses Ned Martin and Ken Coleman and I kinda miss the Rhode Islandness of the old airport.

Collinsville Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I guess I'm in a snow hole or maybe I'm just honest? Only 65" here this year with wild totals in nearby towns in all directions. To put it in better perspective 2010-11, if no more snow falls, will rank in 5th place out of 15 years of measuring here! The duration of 10" or more of snow otg does rival 2000-01 and 2002-03 though so this year does have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 BTV is the major climate point up this way... they are currently at their 3rd snowiest winter on record (120 year period of record). It has been a solid winter up here, especially February and so far in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the extremely chilly December...and the January 12th storm for areas south of BTV, which gave Middlebury a foot of snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
