2/22 Storm recap

Precipitation began as a mix of wet snow and sleet and fell lightly through 6pm. By 7pm, the precipitation had changed to all snow and was coming down moderately. Half an inch of snow accumulation had occurred. Snow continued moderate to heavy at times through 11pm with 2.8 inches of accumulation. An additional .5" occurred as the snow tapered off through 1am. Total storm accumulation: 3.3", bringing Keene to a seasonal total so far of 25.7".

Temperatures fell as this storm passed through so the last 2 inches is fluffy, light, dry snow. However, the snow on the bottom is still very wet. Our current snowpack is 12 inches with 10 inches of wet and two inches of dry. The dry snow will likely settle and wetten tomorrow, so count on a snowpack of 11 inches tomorrow.

Our next storm threat is this Monday and will last through Tuesday, with a second storm pulling through on Wednesday. This series of storms will result in an overall light snowfall in the area.

Another storm will affect us next weekend and could be potentially larger and stronger.
