New England snowstorm memories.

[tamarack]

That mid-March storm was remarkable both for the amounts in NNE and the relatively modest barometer.  We'd had a very strong HP in the 2 days prior to the snow, and the pressure was still about 30.40" when flakes arrived at 9 PM on 3/13.  We had 22" from 6A-8P on the 14th as pressure slowly lowered to 30.05".  Rates peaked at 3"/hr 11A-1P, right when Fort Kent school admin decided to close schools at noon.  All students got home safely, even those from Winterville, 25 miles and 2 major hills south from FK.

My records for that storm (obs time 9 PM so nothing on the 13th):
3/13   10   -18     0        0     46    (Allagash had -32)
3/14   12      2   2.08  25.0   65
3/15   28    10   0.10     1.5    64

We had to retrieve a disabled snowmobile a couple miles south from Estcourt Station on the 15th.  I found the depth was 80" there, presumably several inches less than when accumulation had stopped.
