I was on my way to having some good totals until that band set up just N of me. It sort of positioned itself there. There was actually ice after sunset on some of the slush as temps tickled just under 32. Then the band moved north lol. I bet those areas like Arlington may have had elevation. Some of that area is near and over 200'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah same with Winchester and Newton...there's some hilly terrain there that may have given them a couple hundred feet. Which matters when it is hovering just above freezing.

The snowpack up there has to continue to rival 2000-2001. There's 40" on the ground at 1,500ft and probably 90" up above 3,500ft. That is just awesome! I am going to have to pay my annual visit this Friday I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forcing was really overhead all along, but the band was so intense to the east that we ended up in subsidence from it all day. Once it weakened we filled back in.

Was up there today sweeping snow that was blocking the sat dish. Still very glad to get 3 tons off that roof, and the new stuff doesn't have the late January crust that's about 10 lb per sq.ft. all by itself. I had to stomp repeatedly to break thru so I could get the scoop under the pieces, though sometimes it was easier to just heave them by hand. Had about 5" since clearing the board at 7A, still borderline mod/hvy. Only need another inch to crack 20. I hope the plow driver pushes the big pile far enough to allow mail delivery when he does cleanup and winging back. I'm not interested in shoveling a pathway that's wide enough for a letter carrier's vehicle through a pile 5-6' high, 15+ feet long, and all on the town road (which becomes unmaintained once past the house.)

Hazey Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 17" and still coming down. Calling for another 4-6". Hope to get 2' but I'm happy with what's come down. Still windy giving blizzard conditions. Work was closed today and I'm not sure if I'll get out by tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still snowing pretty good, 24*F. Sweet you should take an average of 10 measurements in a sheltered spot, whats your depth and pics always are appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 5 minutes ago, WthrJunkyME said: We never got the wind that was forecast. Steady 10-15 but I see other places in town have some pretty good drifting. We usually get it pretty good being on the Kennebec river too, kind of odd. I think AUG and WVL ripped up on the hills, but the lower spots it was pretty run of the mill nor'easter (for wind). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House is new to me and I'll know better where to take some measurements. I figure total depth has to be 38-42 inches by now. Just took a few photos in the dark and snow, not great but you can get the idea. I ran the snowblower in the backyard and it was a good workout for it!

Many times I was accused of inflating totals. Never did understand that. http://arlington.wickedlocal.com/article/20140601/news/140609851 I think the coop totals are now reported (submitted) by a nearby neighbor. Many a Spring storm witnessed 6" at the top and a slushy mess at the bottom. So jealous now living vicariously... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
