Lava Rock Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Bridgton seems a little slant sticky to me, but pretty widespread 12-18" across the CWA.Lol, looks like there is a revised total of 12.8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 Seasons Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 2 hours ago, Mr. Windcredible! said: Yeah that Middletown report is BS...someone measured in a drift. I'm surprised Upton kept it in their report since it was only a Public report anyway. FWIW, I measured 3.5" here. That was after some sleet started mixing in, so might have been closer to 4". Either way giant bust...even the most conservative forecast here was 6-12". I'm usually conservative myself and figured we'd pull off 8" bare minimum. NAM nailed the thermal profile on the shoreline as I had been concerned about when Kevin was laughing at people for paying it any mind. I think the Bufkit numbers from the 18z run on Monday had GON at like 3" snow...maybe 6" for HVN...so basically right on the money for the shoreline. did you see this? What a ridiculous weenie map, shading for CT is wayyy off. BTW i am working in Middletown right now. I will be taking a measurement shortly, i know it will be slightly less than yesterday but you can get an idea, its probably around 10 here right now.

powderfreak Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Speechless. Still heavy snow. This was the big one. Hiked to the Coop stake and its back over 100". Was 67" before the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was 67" before the storm. Hard to believe that I've gotten almost 20" and feel shafted! This has been an odd winter, plenty of snow but not enough cold to keep it around away from the higher elevations. I posted on another forum yesterday that I don't know if this is the crappiest good winter I've seen or the best crappy winter I've seen. Either way because of the big meltdowns and lack of snow retention, I still have it as a D. Maybe a C- if pushed. Realize that my rating is based on the way that I enjoy winter and to lose 2+ weeks of snowmobiling in January and the the same in February and early March, it makes it hard to bring it up to average.

dendrite Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Jesus...just got internet/cable back. Took me 7hrs to clear snow because I kept breaking shear pins...hadn't broken one all year until now. Had to shovel some to get the truck out to get more gas since I ran out. The mailbox got decapitated and I had to dig it out of a 4ft snowbank. Fun times.

In NE outside of NY state---Woodford in SVT has 3ft so far, but yea widespread for NE would be up in BTV area over to JSpin and the elevations spots in NVT I would think.

At first glance, yes, but then you see donut holes up your way. I think its just a case of someone creating the map from the reports but not questioning any of them..unless it is done automatically through a program, not sure.

powderfreak Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 At 3pm it was still snowing around 2"/hr at times up on the mountain. I just can't believe how hard it snowed all day. We got 8" yesterday, 14" last night and 14" more today. This road was groomed flat with no snow on it yesterday morning. Gives an idea of the accumulation in the high terrain.

If March finishes significantly BN (currently running -6 compared to my avg), temp will probably rate a C, with Dec & Mar BN, Jan-Feb well AN. Snowfall will get at least A-, as it's 3rd of 19 for total, will probably be no worse than 4th for SDDs (with at least 16" continuously since 12/30), and had 3 storms 15"+. So B/B- looks likely.
