MaineJayhawk Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Just measured 13.5" on the parking lot at work in Portland, snowing nicely still. Looks like we'll hit 15" or so here. Meanwhile, my home in the country sat under Dendy's chicken choker band for a while, so I'm eager to see what lies on the ground out there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dangerous and historic storm will continue for some areas through the mid afternoon hours. The highest snowfall report in New Hampshire as of noon time was 38 inches in Grantham. The New Hampshire State record for a single storm is 49.5 inches. Have updated snowfall totals for southwest Maine and central New Hampshire. Extreme snowfall rates to continue for another 2 to 3 hours. 49.5? Did they toss Berlin's 55" in Nov 1943? Pinkham's 77" in 2/69 ("mountain" sites not admitted?) That said, this event may have the broadest span of 30"+ of any in the Northeast. Maybe not (or maybe so) for total area but for spanning from north-central PA thru NY, VT and NH and possibly into York County, Maine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instability must have been WAY higher than modeled/projected. Did anyone trend CAPE rates at the onset and transitioning to the height of the storm? How much you get?

weathafella Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Still accumulating in light snow. Need to go out AGAIN to shovel but probably not until it actually stops snowing. Very satisfying storm but I wish I went to bed later to catch the WCB but I caught some of it as I drifted off. Snow at 4AM was dammed strong. Other issue is Tim long-would have liked day into evening. But I also realize I’m fine shoveling manually and thankful I can. What better way to be out in the snow? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the shoutout! Well, I measured a couple different ways and I think I came up with 11.5"....almost 9 inches of fluff followed by a couple that compacted easily. When everything averaged out, 11.5" will do it for me. I should have cleared the board before that sleety mix showed up...next time, hopefully it is trying to determine whether we have 29 or 30 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it’s just the beginner terrain that is open.. there’s not much steep there in the first place.. but if it’s just the beginner lift, it’s even worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya definitely saw people struggling on some of the mountains webcams. Got to know the mountain and stick to the steep spots on days like today. I feel so bad watching beginners and intermediate riders on powder days get stuck in the flats and choose terrible lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
