Default Storm Data

Here's some data from Black Cat during the storm of April 15-17.

Total snow: 1.0 inch (higher amounts occurred just 200 feet higher in elev. but still got washed away later.) This brings the island's monthly total for April to 17 inches - greater than January's total. There is currently no snowpack left. There have been 12 days this month with a snowpack of 1 inch or more.

Total liquid/rainfall: 2.78 inches

Max hourly Rain: 0.23 inches on Monday morning

Max 2-minute avg. wind speed: East at 41 mph, several times Monday morning. Average wind speed for the entire day (4/16) was 28 mph.

Peak wind gust: 64 mph at 6:59 a.m. Monday.

Wind direction remained from the east all day Sunday and Monday and did not shift, as the storm remained nearly stationary. On Tuesday it shifted slightly, coming from the northeast but gusting below 40 mph. On Wednesday it started gusty and the day ended nearly calm, direction still from the northeast.

Min. Barometer: 29.08 inches at 12:15 p.m. Monday - more common of a Cat-1 hurricane but still not as low as the Valentine's Day Storm's 29.04".

Lake level rose more than a foot in 3 days, to above full level. At the time of this post it is still rising.

General local damage: Pine trees uprooted. Weaker trunks snapped. Sudden breakup of solid lake ice resulting in dock/shoreline structure damage. 24 hour power outage from large tree on wires, Eagle Shore Road.
