Yea, I mean its a not a guarantee you will get it. You have not it seems, you might not have the fungus in your soil, or maybe you have Bluegrass or another grass type less susceptible, or random luck. But im not the only one in new england getting it. Golf courses are also know to get it because they are well maintained and fertilizerd. They apply fungicide in fall to help with it. Anyway we can take this to the lawn thread when Kevin decides to get it going.

Thats not how it works, it can make it worse if its a little longer, but I cut mine down to 2 inches in the fall and still get it bad most years. Its a fungus lying dormant in the soil until the conditions are ripe for it to appear(long lasting snowcover). It doesnt matter if its short or long, the fungus is still there in the soil. Fertilized lawns are more likely to get it as well. Certainly grass types are more susceptible as well.

Just rake it to get airflow, it will be fine. Don't need any chemicals, etc. I get it every single year pretty bad and its always ends up fine without any treatment. The snow mold areas might take a little longer to green up. Edit: let it dry some before raking.

24-25" average. Little bit more in the shaded areas, little bit less in full sun. I think my biggest event this year was like 6-7" inches. It's pretty dense, just little events stacking on top of each other.

Stunner out there this morning. 5" new. This view will be much different a week from now.

You can probably get some really healthy packs up your way in the right year with good retention that area has. Heck maybe even this year could get pretty decent. March 18 was prob high water mark for this area in general since I've moved here. This was at Mitchs, so 2k, but pretty impressive since alot of folks live in the 1500-2000ft zone. I think there was more added after this too IIRC.

Yea, has not been a great pattern so far for the lower CT river valley in VT. Mostly W/NW flow with the Greens blocking most of the precip or downsloping into your area. It hasn't been epic on this side of the mountains, but alot of 1-2" events seemingly every third day add up over time. Think Im in the 60-65" range so far last I looked.

Maybe its more orographic driven in SVT, but that initial push put down almost 3" here in about 2 hours.

Yea, I was talking more "backyard" snow depth optics. I went from 8-10" down here to T (about 30% coverage). Most dropped down to 1-4" like you mentioned, and even though those remaining 1-4" were totally waterlogged with pretty high LE, that is still a big hit and pretty much starting over regardless of LE. (again just "backyard" base) Now, obviously a different story on the ski hills, where all it really did was add SWE to build the base moving forward--even if there was a little snow depth decrease.

Yea, if you look at Cocorahs from Dec 21st the vast majority of sites had snow depths under 3" with most being 0, T, 1", 2" after the cutter. Montgomery went from 27" to 3" in a few days. Guessing that was mostly upslope fluff. I think as Jspin mentioned- Bolton, Stowe etc with higher El and more liquid in the pack probably held on better than most house sites which is not surprising.

Just curious, what have been your seasonal totals past seasons? Not many posters in the valleys west of the spine. I think myself, you and maybe 1 or two up in NVT maybe also.

I have been here going on 12 years now, I have NEVER seen Manchester as busy as it was yesterday, not even Columbus Day, etc. Xmas and New years weeks are normally busy, I don't know what to make of it. Maybe the cold and wind scared a lot of folks away from the mountains yesterday? Or just in general its been cold and snowy, so more peeps vacationing this week? It was strange, lots of folks commenting about locally too.

Very meh down here. Only 2.2", but just enough to guarantee a white xmas with at least 1" OTG tomorrow morning.

Even down here I have had 17 measurable snow events since Mid NOV. I'm sure that number is even higher up there(NVT). It works out to pretty much every other day if you were to average it out, which certainly makes it seems even more snowy as Froude mentioned. Edit: I see Jspin posted above and has 18 events documented, so similar.

Oh yea, that's a nice one..lol.

Yea, Im pretty bad at keeping up with that. Some years I do a little better job, but this year I haven't done any roof raking so I have more ice dams.

@WxWatcher007 why i dont have gutters, old house with crap insulation in attic = death icicles.

Surprised to get 3.7" here, definitely fluff. Really nice snow growth. 13" OTG

100% agree and same for down here, speaking mainly for my experience with W/NW orographic /upslope snow. The good producers are almost always at night here. Maybe places like Stowe or Jay it is more even, but I can say for down here there is a stark difference. I feel this has been talked about at some point maybe years ago, I just cant remember that reason. I think one of the possible reasons was during the day with the Sun it can make them more convective in nature vs at night more stratiform without the daytime heating (relative). I may be completely off on that though...lol.

Nice shot of snow for the SVT resorts. 9.2" so far at home. Residual light stuff still going.

6.2" as of 330. Zero wind, just stacking up nicely. Think the heaviest of it is over, but maybe still squeeze out a few inches more. Still coming down at maybe 1/2" hour clip.

Yea I know your in SLK, meant more that that there are probably nuances within short distances there like many terrain influenced areas of NNE.

I don't know where you are exactly, but you maybe be downsloping a bit on S/SW wind. Or maybe its just not enough lift into your area, not sure.

I think its the only stretch of road on the East Coast with a chain up requirement for Big Rigs.

Gotcha- yea, I don't think they will hit warning there TBH.
