looks like the system is pushing more west, lets hope she shifts more east...

Accuweather is forecasting 14" of snow for Bethel, Maine this weekend (more of what they don't need) but it looks like it may mix with freezing rain/sleet.

Of course they need more snow..there's no such thing as too much snow..I hope this becomes like 1816 for Northern New England..the year without a summer..Summer is over-rated..an endless winter would be so sick..

What Northern New England needs from now into May is normal weather, with I hope no extreme heat or rainfall because the spring thaw is going to be pretty extreme this year.

The NWS is already giving the heads up to people who live close to the Connecicut River to be aware of flooding this spring. This snow is cool to play in but I hope nobody looses their homes or worse this spring due to flooding.

You don't need to live close to a river to be flooded out by snowmelt. If Maine in particular where to get heavy rain in the next few weeks, it's a potential disaster area for alot of people.

How deep is the snowpack where you live??? Has it ever been so deep??? I know you guys haven't even had one thaw..

My snowpack is nearly all gone and it never really got more than 10-12" deep at any one point. Northern Connecticut was in the "battleground" all winter with I-84 and I-90 being the boundary between rain and frozen stuff this winter and I estimate we had about 65" of snow this winter.

I am seeing my lawn completly bare for the first time since mid-December.

Once you get north of Nashua/Concord in New Hampshiere the snow rapidly deepens to 2-3' on average with 3-5' in Western Maine.

There have been several thaws in New England including a fairly severe one in mid January where Saddleback lost about 50% of their snowpack. If not for that thaw the snowpack would be trully immense.

Thanks for all of the info..I googled Maine snowpack and it talked about potential spring flooding. Lets hope the spring flooding holds off until after April 1st-6th visit to Stowe..
