CoastalWx Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 The snowpack is still incredible at my parents. White Easter is a lock. The piles...everything is still massive. At home, getting a bare spot finally lol. The time of year where sun vs no sun makes a huge difference. Still snow on north side of trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 The only "snow" I have left is in small patches of solid ice 2-3" deep, placed strategically around the yard to prevent me from picking up remaining holiday light extension cords. Disaster. In hindsight, I probably should have made time to clean everything up before the glacier began setting in in mid-January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Seriously? I will say the house across the street has a bare sort opening up but it's a south slope so it has to lol. Front yard of folks is also getting a bare aspir near edge of property. These piles are still 6-7' tall in second pic. 20" in shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 The whole obsession with the snow pack is getting extremely weird. Every 5-minutes people are checking and measuring and are still surprised by what they see...it's almost as if everyone thinks it's supposed to all evaporate away in the matter of hours. Of course there is still a crap ton of snow in many places...we really haven't had much time of "prime snow melting" days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there is still a crap ton of snow in many places...we really haven't had much time of "prime snow melting" days. Don't get me started. I get PMs from people that hate it, and I'm suppose to think I'm being too critical? whatever... especially when it's so obvious. It transcends obsession, because if one is "obsessed" with being a good writer, or good at math, or good at singing, or public speaking, or a sport ... those are things you can practice toward a meaningful goal -- to transcend the limitations of self, and become something more. But obsession over something one has absolutely no control over? ...Well, it is weird actually. It's a very good word for it. And while I don't intend to point anyone out, I do think that because such is so pervasive here (as to outnumber those into "weather" for all its concepts and facets) we are forced to conclude that it is in a way become a consortium for those that can hang out with those of the same ilk. Hey, the upshot is..it shows that no matter how unusual one may think they are, there is bound to be a group out there that represents their same ah...shall we say, focus. The only reason I pop off ever now and then, and come off as heavy handed and well ...angry, is when I am attempting objective Meteorology on a f weather forum of all things, and immediately ensues pages of response parade impugning my insights, in the politest way possible. As if that's still not trolling... But, hey... I suppose if one doesn't like it badly enough, they can always go away and do something a bit more rational with their time. And not to be a hypocrite, come mid October(s), I'm just as gung ho for winter as the next person. Although, I got a kick out of 2012, just because in my own weirdness, when things are bad, I tend want to see just how bad it can get... haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonWX Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It's anomalous snowpack, at a very late date for coastal eastern mass (particularly the SO. Shore). It's going to be a topic of discussion (and obsession lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Given the date, it's anomalous, which is why it's interesting. is there really a need to measure every other hour and then be surprised? Is it anomalous? Sure it is but look at the pattern we have been in. It's really not surprising the snow is sticking around much longer than usual.

When you measure a million times in a small window of course there is going to be little change...except if you have high temps, high dews, both, rain, fog...whatever...which is something we haven't had much of.

Sure it is but look at the pattern we have been in. It's really not surprising the snow is sticking around much longer than usual. Well I'm staring at the output of an anomalous pattern. We're watching the dying remnants of a stretch not likely to be seen in our lifetimes, maybe that contributes to it Severe isn't happening anytime soon, so who cares?

BostonWX Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It was awful It's coming soon to all of us, but hopefully we have some above normal progs to soften the blows in a couple weeks. It was amazing driving home from Sunapee, minimal snowpack across the Merrimack valley in MA especially, all the way down to northern suburbs of BOS.

ORH_wxman Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Completely different. see text is correlated with a type of weather that may occur. It is still a weather-related obsession. A lot of people love snow because of how it makes the landscape look. We also have people obsessed with their lawns and a lawn and garden thread every year...hey, that's what they like...you like the idea of a few cumulus clouds ballooning up enough for a rumble of thunder and a 30 mph wind gust...each might think the other's obsession is a bit strange, but that is why we are on this forum.
