Snowpack Damage Observation Thread

**thetrailboss** · Dec 23, 2007, 8:44 PM

Hoping things change soon...we had a batch of mixed precip about 30 minutes ago...and it is still way too warm out there. Slush outside. Snow is absorbing the water well. We have not received any snow from this yet.

60 on LI...some rain crazy winds but most of the snow is gone.

The rain just ended and the temperature is starting to drop and is now down to 49.4F.

The snowpack took a hit and I can see some grass in my yard.

Beautiful sunrise this AM reveals that snow-wise, the storm was a bust...leaving a dusting at best. Snowpack is not hard at all, and one can break into it. No winds and temps in the 20's I'd say. Snow has settled about 3-4 inches I'd say. Groomer morning...will probably have VC.

The snowpack took a hit, but we held on to about 90% coverage. About 5-6" of wet snow.

Stake is still at 49. The snow in my yard is half as deep as yesterday.

We still have fairly continuous snowcover here, but grass is showing where water was standing until this morning. There is alot of ice and frozen snow outside.

We lost about half, but there's still 10-12" left on the ground. Just making room for the next storm . . .
