Lazy ass observer…never legitimately measured depth and accounted for compaction. They just kept adding new snow values to the pack. lol

Going from 42" to 6" in 48 hours would be quite a feat, though I guess we saw similar after that Dec 2020 time period in CNE to E.NY.  But this is presumably a pack that is dense enough to see no settling at all.  That stuff would take an absolutely substantial energy to melt that fast, even with 2" of rain.

Obviously some wild unlikely things in that snow depth listing.

Isn't the more likely explanation that the snowfall totals were underdone and only given as change in depth?

Here are the candidates for highest snow depth in Massachusetts. The first three are data entry errors and can be excluded. The next three are legitimate, in the sense that they are what was reported in those winters from those locations, but they could be other than data entry errors.

Is the 62" at Arlington plausible? Taunton reached 45" and Ashburnham 48" at the same time. How about the 60" at Washington 2 in 1963? Snow depth reached 4 feet at West Cummington at the same time. Also, two locations (Hoosac Tunnel and Adams) reached 50" depth in 1947. I knew 1947-1948 was a doozy, but I guess 1946-1947 was quite harsh as well. The most recent 50" depth was at Boxford 2.4S - a CoCoRaHS observer - in 2015. A number of 40"+ depths were recorded that winter, including 45" at Blue Hill Coop.

The first one that I buy is the Adams total.

For sure. I think lots of times we all can get hung up on this. As we all know, snowfall systems are so very nuanced, that sometimes an area(ours lately) can just get into a rut, and can continually get porked.  While up steam or downstream gets slammed. It’s Just some bad dam ju ju.  Eventually that will change, as it always does. And another region will spend some time in the shit barrel. 

It's not just bad luck. CC is affecting the weather patterns. This is why the Great lakes storm track has been so dominant and we've had a pacific jet on steroids over the last decade (record warm ssts western Pacific). 

The classic coastal track and even miller Bs have been practically non-existent for several years now.

i’m sure New Orleans and Virginia snow weenies are loving climate change right now

Grandpapi says it snowed so much this one time, that them crawfish froze solid in the mud, so CC can't be real!

if you think what i said implies that i don’t think climate change is real and has an impact, you must be mistaken. the over attribution is just a lazy cop out most of the time
