dendrite Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Happy Leap Day! We get an extra torch day this met winter just to add insult to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 If we didn't see another flake this winter would be below average..... But nowhere close to futility or ratter. 3 warned events.... With an 11" wet snow bomb. 14.80" in 2011/12. Doubled that this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I used my snowshoes once - and that was at Acadia ... lol Have not even taken mine out of the shed. The 10" here is either hard enough to support boot-clad adults, or (when it warms up) corn snow that would tumble onto the raquets, making their use more cumbersome than going without. Farmington's nadir for snow is 43" in 1980-81. Their #2 was 44" the year before, so their 2-year total was a couple inches below their annual average. They're probably around 41-42" at present, and tomorrow night's useless 2" (meaning, melts soon after measurement - this winter's specialty) might kick this winter into 3rd-from-worst. Also have a good chance to set the record max for leap-day - only need to top 47 and forecast is low 50s. Leap-day record min was -20 just 8 years ago, in a slightly different kind of winter.

With an 11" wet snow bomb. It must be getting close to a full year since we have had a warned event here or at least an event meeting warning criteria.

Leap-day record min was -20 just 8 years ago, in a slightly different kind of winter. I can't believe you have 10" snowpack when most of New England is bare ground. You really do have great snow retention. What events is that from? Yes, March 2008 had some very cold weather. I was in Poughkeepsie working nights outdoors, and it was brutal. Couple of record lows set.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoth Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 What a peerless spring day! Windows flung wide, that sweet petrichor smell on the air, birds singing. I think a long slow jog is the order of the day. Soak it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Happy Leap Day! We get an extra torch day this met winter just to add insult to injury. And to make sure the leap day has a good high temp, we saw a 23F increase in temperature in 1 hour overnight between 3-4am. Pretty crazy jump for the middle of the night, mixing out that inversion big time. That's a 1F rise every 2.6 minutes for an hour straight.

codfishsnowman Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 as much as this winter blows, last winter was way more frustrating being a half hour to forty five minutes away from epicosity the gap between the haves and have nots is not quite as severe...six to thirty five inches area wide better than 50 to 130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 This winter was 100 times more frustrating I get your point But that was being jealous of others fortune. Sorta like complaining when you have Maryann as a girlfriend (Gilligans Island) when a friend in Weymouth has Giselle. This year we had a stack of old Women's Day magazines and a box of Kleenex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Dave, you got like 10" less than I did. I've quite enjoyed N ORH Co. joining the screw club, if only to get Dave's commiserating posts, since my neighbor Eeyore up in Shelburne checked out over a month ago. This will be my first time in Greenfield (8 winters) going into March with virtually no snow otg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even 2012 had some on the ground I'll have to back and look at 2012 but despite being awful, with more than a third of our season snow coming in Oct of 2011, we still had snow otg heading into the march torch that year. This year has been surreal in it's awfulness. Maybe I can pull of 1" of sn/pl tomorrow night to get me over 15". lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 It really was an awful winter out in western MA though. Those numbers, or lack of, truly are almost impossible to do. Luckily you won't see that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
