You guys definitely do get in on those ML bands sometimes. Yup... my profile pic is my back deck in Oct '11. 22" in the later storm after 3-4" a few days earlier. We get hammered now and then... close to a foot here today. I need to go measure/snowblow in a little bit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaGrangewx Posted December 17, 2020 3 minutes ago, powderfreak said: Back to that Ski Patroller at Okemo... she’s posted some great stuff on FB this morning. If her time stamps are correct (no reason not to believe it), they were getting 8” per hour rates. Actually, they were getting 6” SNOW DEPTH increase in 45 minutes... at those snow depths, there has to be settling. I wonder if this was measured on a cleared area if it was actually 8” in 45 min or even more? I mean this is some of the highest documented rates I’ve seen. But to have snow depth increase 6” in 45 minutes is a 8” per hour rate. I wonder if they had rates of 10”/hour on a cleared surface? 3 inches in 13 minutes is almost 14 an hour. I bet you’re right they would’ve Had 10 if they measured the hour of peak intensity on a board 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was surprised how cold it was even on the warm side of the coastal front. Was worried it would be in the 32-33 range rather than 29-30. Deerfield helped to avoid power problems. I was checking on that beast WCB band before I went to bed wishing on some level I could be there... Maybe some day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, just the other day I was wondering about the highest snowfall rate ever recorded. Whatever it is, I'm sure Okemo and dendrite came close. Is a foot per hour even possible? I can only imagine what it would look like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It had QPF and crosshairs in the DGZ. I bet they still had 2”+ water in a narrow zone in that band. Its fluffy but there’s still water in it based on the reports. Like BGM’s 42” had 2.80” water. Good fluff factor but 2.80” QPF in 24 hours at temps in the teens is nothing to scoff at. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
