40/70 Benchmark Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 There wasn't meant to be any underlying tone. I was wondering if you'd rather the record, or the snowy period we had. None perceived. I answered. The three week stretch, hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 None perceived. I answered. The three week stretch, hands down. Cool. I know how bad you wanted that record and understandably so. So, that's why I asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have loved both just to put the cherry on top, but '96 didn't compare to this. This winter was akin to an olympic power lifter, '96 was a high endurance gymnist...more reps, but not the same power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The funny thing is you guys were so close to 1995-96 down there...but up here 1995-96 was worlds better looking at the stats. So far this season what I'm seeing for Mansfield Coop total is 142.9" but that seems excessively low so I'll have to check. 1995-1996 is listed as 309.6". So double the amount of snow in that winter. But the Coop snowfall records are very shady and suspect overall. One event earlier in March on the mountain had 13" at my 3000ft board over 2 days while they reported 2.5".

powderfreak Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The difference between 1995-1996 and this winter is pretty ridiculous up here it looks like. You guys have close snowfall totals to that season, but certainly not up here as far as this goes, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subdude Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Added another 3" from Sat. Respectable 113" for MBY. Still plenty left as well. Solid 6-8" in open areas and 12+ in the woods. Slow thaw is just what we needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stake_totals.png I've said before that on a macro level, this winter doesn't sniff the jock of 1996. No season does, really. It's in a league of it's on for large scale impact. This season was incredible in a relatively small chunk of of real estate.....this season was Camille, 1996 was Katrina or Hugo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 you might be surprised at the percent above normal snow in the NE No, I wouldn't. I get that, but you might be suprised by the large portion of the east coast not anywhere near the magnitude of their 1996 positive snowfall anomalies.

40/70 Benchmark Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I can't see that at work, but why don't you compare snowfall totals from '96 and 15' for the entire east coast down to N Carolina. Post that table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I meant...this was a good to great, solidly above average season from VA to ME....just that the departures aren't anywhere close to those of '96 outside of southern and eastern NE. If the NAO/AO had been negative and/or ENSO stronger, different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 96 while good for the numbers fetishes was filled with melts and sloppy days.Yeah I wasn't up here for that winter obviously but it doesn't look like it was that bad up here for melts. Snowpack stayed above normal all season...but not all that different from this season considering twice the snowfall in 95-96. It did max at like 130" at the stake in April though that year.I gotta imagine that winter would've blown this one out of the water in the NW quad of New England.

40/70 Benchmark Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 96 while good for the numbers fetishes was filled with melts and sloppy days.Down here, agreed.Like I said, I enjoyed '15 more....but I think parts of NNE and NYC points south would beg to differ. Numbers don't matter if it's like 20" in areas that average 50-60"........but when it's like 30-40"+ in areas that average 15-25"...yea, it def. matters. NNE didin't have the epic melt that we did.

No one from NYC southward did. This winter was colder, absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
