0" in my yard, we got a total of 12" this season, 7" of it in one storm. We've had a lot of ra*n though. Very disappointing, at least it got cold early in the season so the local mountains could make snow early unlike last winter.
Not much but snowbanks here in Portland. I'm sure it's far different in the mountains even with the rain that was received.

Hercules is my second male Saint Bernard and both of them where not overly thrilled with snow. He has a long haired coat and thick fur on his feet, when he comes in from the snow, the whole house gets wet. My wife's female Saint is a rescue dog and she is used to living outside and loves the snow.

The NWS is starting to sneak the mention of heavy snow into my forecast for saturday night. Honestly I truly do not want anymore snow here and I am going to do an anti-snowdance if this keeps up.
Hopefully it's just rain with heavy snow in the mountains, where it's needed for a refresh.

Nothing here but snowbanks until you get into the woods then there's a good 8 or so inches.

We've still got about 3-4 feet on the ground after the rain. There have been a lot of roofs that have colapsed in the area the past few weeks! We will probably have some serious flooding when it all melts.

Nothing left here. Some dirty snowbanks in the bigger parking lots but even my driveway doesn't have a snowbank left.

The rain took away about a foot of snow. On the link below you can now read the whole 'Century 21' RE sign on my neighbors property. Also remember that the sign normally stands 5.5 feet high!

In MA - zero. In VT my guess is close to 3 ft deep snow pack.

We are getting a quick coating of snow right now here in Coventry with a heavy snow shower.

Coming home from VT yesterday, the snow/no snow line on I-91 was in the Deerfield/Greenfield area. However as you went North from Greenfield, the depth of the snowpack quickly increases. Basically within about 15 miles of latitude, you go from the occasional plow/drift remnant to a solid 1 to 2+ feet of snowpack. Not a slow transition zone at all.
Based on how deep the snowpack is, AND how water saturated it is, boy do we ever need a SLOW melt this Spring, or else flooding could be really bad this year
(Not to mention that a slow melt will keep those lifts spinning even longer!)Similar threads
