10.3" from 0.83" LE, ratio 12.4 was about 50% above what was being discussed.  Snow was just packy enough to sail a long way without clogging the chute.  21" at the stake, tied for season's tallest though by my 9 PM obs it will probably be 16-18.  1st warning-criteria overperformer (forecast was 4-7) since March 2018.  The 12 events between the 2 overperformers had 5 verify and 7 underperform.  Biggest spring snowfall since 2011.

you're still pretty buried.

Back 10-12 days when March temps were running +7 or more, I figured this would be one of the less common years when our snow cover failed to persist into April.  Would need some 70s or a flooding warm rain for it to go that quickly now.  Before this storm the pack was more than 50% liquid equivalent, much of it gray ice rather than ripe snow, so pretty durable.

Totals here were 8.7” snow from 0.70” L.E., which at least in terms of snowfall was definitely above the initial NWS forecast.  I didn’t run the snow thrower though – even in midwinter this would have potentially been borderline for a clearing depending on how packed the snow on the driveway was below it.  In this case the driveway was essentially clear of snow to begin with, so this is just serving as a new base layer – and its’ nearing the end of March now, so it’s eventually going to melt.

I took a look backward in my data for spring storms, and the one of significance I hit first was from last year on 3/21 to 3/23.  I guess that one is sort of on the border for actually being in spring.  Data for that one was 12.5” from 1.99 L.E., so obviously a lot more potent and dense with respect to snowfall, and I see it brought 2 to 3 feet of snow to the local mountains.

This recent storm has certainly helped with respect to seasonal snowfall, but we’re still about 14 inches behind average pace due to the lackluster snowfall for much of the month.  Average snowfall from this point on is about 10 inches here at our site.  We’d need about double that to really get close in to average snowfall, but even if we stop at this point, the season would only be ~0.6 S.D. below the mean.

Not an option for my 2WD Ranger and the small hill to get up the driveway.  Unfortunately, starting from bare ground meant tossing some of the gravel into the lawn, just like in November.

The forecast for the event ending early this morning was nearly flawless, however, the topographical influences across western New England were not accentuated enough. Thus snowfall around Bristol and Canton, CT was under forecast. The balance of the region verified exceedingly well, as this was one of the better efforts of the season.

 

Final Grade: A

I see that higher amount in the Brimfield, Wales are which is a higher elevation. Elevation definitely played a role out this way.

WELL Done Ray!  I went to that 5.8" region last night.  There was only 3" left with the rain (So I MISSED the Snowfall), but to see 3" and Drift in the car was great.

And BTV’s final map, updated from this morning. 

This event was without a doubt pretty poorly forecast/modeled in NNE.  The GFS even 24 hours out had 1-3” pretty much all of NNE, lol.  Euro probably won this handily.  

Definitely a much more widespread 6-10” than one would’ve guessed before the event.

GFS bumped up qpf to 0.7-0.8" Monday afternoon, very close to what we got. (0.83" at my place)  It was the ratios that won the day - 10-13 to1 while AFDs were talking 6-8.  The exceedingly rare Route 2 jack, the area's snow shield temporarily incapacitated.  :weenie:
