Take several measurements around the yard (Best ability one can) and average them together. It will at least be a good round total instead of nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was outside of the down sloping/shadow effect of the River Valley. Those numbers were recorded by Coops back then. They are pretty solid. 20" or more in single snowstorm in the Pioneer Valley is big, considering they get precip shadowed a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tough part id I have full snow coverage still, with the windows the driveway will be a bowl and fill up and the deck will have snow from the roof.

vortex95 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 10 minutes ago, WalpoleJoe said: Not to derail, I think '78, for everything written about it, is still underdone. The drifts were amazing, 10 to 15 feet easy. I was from a family of 6 and only two of us, my mom who was home and me who could walk home from school (5th grade), made it home Monday. 3 of my siblings, who were in high schools in neighboring towns, did not make it home and my dad, whose work was in Pawtucket, was stuck on 95 and made it to a gas station were he stayed. He made it home Thursday with the big equipment from the Army Corps when they started to plow...it was amazing. This was for Cranston, btw. 40" was common in eastern MA and RI, just did not have the degree of spotter/co-op observers back them. A fairly reliable measurement from someone I know got about 44" total in an open field in Woburn MA. Given the how the area between 128-495 NW of BOS tends to have a local precip max in many nor'easters, this is not unreasonable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember to measure it about 20' from one's house so roof snow won't count in the total amount/accumulation. Check the snow depth on the ground before the storm starts. Just subtract that amount from whatever storm total one gets as a final. It should be fairly accurate to the best of one's ability. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Greenfield had 22 inches in the February 2013 storm. Easily the biggest storm since I moved here in 2007. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to be wrong about these things. When I got the KU books I was mortified at how often Springfield got stuck at 10-12 inches with totals often double that just to the east south and a few times west. But I have seen personally close to two feet once here so I know it can happen. One can only hope. These opportunities only come along once in a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Paul Gordon Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 In Clinton, MA. 12 - 18 here? Are we in a good place for banding? This is our 4th winter here and the first with serious snow. So, still new to the microclimate here compared to Worcester Burncoat. Only a few miles away but we seem to consistently do better at least in terms of snow depth. BTW Lived in Belchertown MA in 78. The drifts came up to the roof on the windward side of our 2 story apartment building. It was amazing even that far inland. Amherst got 12 from that storm, if I remember correctly. We got considerably more to the east and a few hundred feet higher up. Don't ever recall seeing drifts like that before or since. The apartment complex looked like it got caught in a storm at sea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
