    April 2024 Disco- SNE’s favorite month

    in New England

    Posted

    April cake.  This afternoon saw a glimpse of sun between thick clouds and steady periods of -SN.  Only 2” in past 24 hours (1” every 12hrs) on the plot board, but been a fun 3 days with 26” if you add it up.. but to me the true storm total was 23” from the steady storm snow. This winter has actually hit normal snowfall in the mountain elevations.
    Now a total solar eclipse coming. What a time to be alive, ha.

    Just can’t let that 2-3 feet verify, lol.

    See I think climo is southern/central/eastern areas in coastal storms, ha.  I wish I could be that confident each storm.

    Blind squirrel maybe? You know this climo better than anyone.. I just felt good about this one. When that sleet line started creeping north, I felt it was small enough jumps to keep us safe (mostly) but was inching the liquid up. The 3k had a couple runs with the heavy bursts jumping around north of rutland so if we scored a foot in the initial, I thought we’d sail to 20. But im sure this bs “gut” feeling infuriates those with actual meteorological knowledge. Brilliant people analyzing 700mb flow and dgz and I can barely read a sounding.

    Still light snow, but nothing adding any substantial accumulation right now..there’s been some settling, but this is probably close to storm total at 1900’. Pf would hate me saying this, but add 4-5 up high. Grooming reporting 8’ drifts on the ridge. First tracks in the woods absolutely sick today. Arguably the best of the year.

    It’s been sneaking up.
    Measured 278” now at the consistent 3,000ft level.  That’s really about average.
    Before we started measuring and verifying snowfall in the same location, the ski area averaged 330”.  After I started bringing some real accountability and being diligent (no optimistic estimates based on a deep pocket), our average is more around 280”.
    This year is now at that level. And considering the amount of major melts, the snowpack on the hill has been decent.
    I’ll have to run the numbers, but I think we are around 100” of snowfall in the past month up there.

    It’s going to be average here, maybe even a little above..impressive considering 3 melts to almost zero this season. Decent snow still...28 degrees. I can’t get any models because of the internet, so don’t know what latest runs look like, but just staying like this all night puts us 25-30 range for first chair.

    Very pleasantly surprised.  Sneaky big storm.
    keep forgetting it’s April too.  Might be the largest April snow in town since I’ve lived here.  Not sure what would’ve been bigger since 2010.

    What was your last mountain measurements? Snow seems a bit denser last couple hours.
