I'm at 164" at 3,000ft which is a foot more than last year's total. 18" on the ground that I can walk on at 1,500ft. Now just need some upslope pow. This is night and day different from last year.

Tommorow should be very warm so curious how much of this meaty snow will melt. Most of the snow off the trees has melted but the snow in the yard has maintained a beautiful glassy appearance. love this pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Valley Snowman Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Since My definition of winter is about Dec 10-March 10 in my area around these parts it's about time for a mid term on the 2017 winter season. 1. Total Snowfall: C I have 17 and average 47-48 only at about 36 percent or so 2. Snowfall retention: F I've had to literally jump in the car right after a storm ends to take my kids sledding to avoid melting. I've held thin layers of crust for some periods but certainly a lack of total coverage for much of the winter 3. Temperatures: C- Despite having a few cold shots and a definite improvement over last year overall temperatures consistently average above normal 4. Excitement C- General lack of significant threats, probably would have been a D if not for the last storm although getting a positive bust and feeling good about getting 1.5" of sleet speaks volumes about the winter overall Overall 1st half grade D+ Not a total failure and a modest improvement from last year but lot's of work to do here to get these grades up. Time for the winter of 2017 winter to hit the books . Cautiously optimistic that Feb/Early March can make some improvements to these grades but not sold on getting past a C+ without some major 2nd half improvements.

I pretty much agree with all of these. Maybe increase the snowfall grade to C+ here. i would drop excitement to D+ though. The biggest excitement for me was the little 3" powder bonus I got NYE and the thundersnow squall that gave me 0.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the entire season is averaging greater than +3 or +3.5, that deserves a failing grade and certainly no better than a D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sufficient to overcome the dry spell, but Oct.-Jan. is running 108% of average here, assuming no more this month. Given the near 7" in my current snowpack, there should be a good groundwater recharge this spring. First time for everything. While I was driving to a forestry research meeting at UMaine yesterday morning, the car ejected the driver's side wiper blade onto the passing lane of I-95 south of Bangor. Not wishing to play "frogger" with trucks going 70 thru the rain (trucks had probably crushed the blade anyway) and with very limited shoulder plowing, I had to continue 15 miles to a rest area, where I could pull away from traffic and move the other blade to where it would be useful.

Rangeley records about 10% more snow, but if their respective depth records are valid, Jackman holds a bigger pack, having 7 winters of the past 30 reach the 50" mark.
