Mansfield Stake at 0"

[from_the_NEK]

It is official. No more snow at the stake on Mansfield. I was hoping it would make it to June. What an Down (November-mid January) and Up (Mid-January to mid-March) and Down (Rest of March) to Up (1st half of April) to steep down (mid-April to now). Very strange season.

That's sad.

The historical charting function is fun to play with, though.

Hot weather doesn't care about base depth, kills things off regardless of how deep it is.

I'm counting on a mid-July spike back up to 90"

Wow. That went fast.

Check out the date of this photo from the website!

Four feet of snow on the mountain ten years ago today!!??

I also looked at the graph.

There must be a mistake in the data for the end of April...notice how the chart indicates that the fell to six inches of snow and then picked up five feet. Though that is around the time of the last Nor'Easter, which dumped mainly rain. :blink:

There are alot of places where the graph spikes down like that- I think there are some holes in the data. Or it could be rain.

That's a good point...does the graph represent snow depth, or snow accumulations after they fall? I thought it was the former....

EDIT: it says depth. So there must be data points that aren't right.

Yup- 2/15/07 is blank for the snow depth. April 24 shows 73, the 25th is 7, and the 26th is 70.

Missing data point I assume. They had at least one other point like that during the season that was eventually corrected.

Yes, that graph is depth. It's a mistake.

I say let it melt. Means we're one step closer to next season!

Why can't we have this season blur into next season so that they are indistinguishable, and you can't really define whether you are skiing in the 06-07 season or the 07-08 season?
