So I don't know why any snow lover would want saturday to bust. Because my job is hard enough without snow falling, and im working friday night. Snow totals when i cant play in the snow dont count. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted February 16, 2024 Share Posted February 16, 2024 A pondering question related to snow ratios: If location A measures 12 inches of snow with 0.5" SWE and location B gets 6" with 1.0" SWE, who got more snow? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted February 18, 2024 Share Posted February 18, 2024 25" or 26" of snow here is a lame (but not disastrous) winter. Spinning low teens snowfall with almost no cold air into something somehow acceptable is irrational exuberance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Star Posted February 19, 2024 Share Posted February 19, 2024 12" of snow since Tuesday, and all melted in the sunny areas. I mean it hasn't been above normal temperatures and it's only the middle of February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pellice Posted February 20, 2024 Share Posted February 20, 2024 I have a question about last Saturday's snow. It was very light and fluffy, but it also seemed to have very high water content, melting immediately if I even lightly touched it. Not sure I could have even gathered it into a snowball before melting. I thought those qualities - the lightness/fluffiness and the high water content - were incompatible, that wet snow was always heavy snow, but clearly that isn't the case. Is this type of snow rare, or was my impression incorrect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe people will learn something but I'm guessing most won't. Either way we had 2 good events during a hostile pattern so we should never cancel an event that doesn't look great or assume a pattern will flip to favorable and even if it does that it will automatically produce. And my snowhole has officially filled in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my snowhole has officially filled in and maximizing our potential (or nearly so anyway) is why this winter should be rated a C-.

Yeah this was bizarre how do you get such a wet snow that makes tree limbs sag down and even accumulates on wires making them sag, and yet it's a very high ratio snow of 20:1 and even 30:1? How can wet snow be a high ratio snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
