I have a 10" in the that, and then avoided melting in the March 5-6 deal, as I added 1.5" of pack-preserving sleet, while rest of SNE rained and NNE had a few inches of fluff. I just mean I was higher than you, cooler than you during the warmup, and we ended up tied at 8” the other day. Not calling you out. Just surprised I was losing snow faster than you.

The worst part about losing my pack before this event is having another round of mud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK what to tell you...I'll take a photo with the yard stick...maybe the sleet slowed the melt.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I also don't mean to imply that there is a uniform 7" of snow on the ground throughout Methuen, either...certainly not the case. Lots of bare ground showing up and it's gone near the main roads and under trees. I'm sure there is more consistent coverage in Brian's area....but IMBY, which is not heavily shaded, there is still several inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you aren't...I just don't know what to say lol I also said in the post above, that while I'm not right on the Merrimack river bed, I am in a little valley...so am not surprised surrounding areas also get a bit more snow. That probably worked to my advantage om Thursday because I didn't mix out until the front was coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only pack left is in part of the backyard. That area doesn't receive any sunlight at this time of the year....and it faces to the NNE. That area is always the last area to melt.

Funny...I recall you were retaining more snow than I was during the winter....I must have really avoided mixing out until the last moment on Thursday.

ORH_wxman Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago It could depend on your yard too this time of year. There’s a house at the bottom of our hill that has full pack right now on almost all sides except one. It’s deep too. At least 6-8”. Almost everyone else is bare ground with just piles. It’s tucked into the hillside just a bit so it prob catches all the cold dense drainage and maybe a little extra shade…but I think the former is the better explanation. Plenty of other shaded areas have less or just patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
