Decent cirrus in the Adirondaks right now, sun still coming through, so hope it holds like this!

Good morning old friends! It's been a while since I poked into this thread. Does Phineas still post in here? With the avalanche rating forecast to be "considerable" tomorrow I'm hoping to find some lower angle glades to ski instead of heading into the alpine, and I'm curious about the snowpack situation in the vicinity of Crescent Ridge. I'm sure they did very well with the recent storm, but I'm hoping it fell on a decent enough base. 

Down here in the Flatlands of southern NH we picked up 6" of incredibly moisture-laden snow. Decent event for the first week of April in this climo zone, but I was definitely missing the old cabin in Jackson for this one...

Phin got banned..maybe 2 years ago at this point?

Now I’m trying to figure this out lol. Leftover upslope scraps in Norwich?

I do remember him posting about some streamer/upslope type scraps like you mentioned a number of times. It's obviously not prime upslope country, but good enough to get some leftovers? Certainly closer to the source region of orographic type snows than Gene would be.

But, I am just spit balling and he would obviously know more than me...ha.

Property taxes in VT are outrageous compared to upstate NY. There are going to be huge increases next year in VT property taxes.  Have you looked at the property taxes in Manchester and Dover compared to the Albany area?

A new estimate puts the projected average property tax bill increase next year at more than 20%.

My property tax already almost doubled last year. They reassessed all of Manchester in 2023, they went through the roof.

6" new in about 2 hours under the last band that hung overhead.

Even with a good amount of IP, still up to 19.1" for the event. LOT of liquid in this. Could have been an all timer without that mid level warmth push. Still really impressive.

This guy is in a little trouble I would say..down by Mitch in Searsburg VT..lot of ZR I'm sure contributed.

Yep.

That's been well modeled for a few days, the mix line always looked to come in quick to his area. My area was more uncertain, but held off long enough to stay snow or mostly snow for now.

11.1" Total mixed bag though now as windows are getting pelted. Prob 50/50 SN/IP.

Even compared to 2K in srn VT....I can't recall such a dichotomy in the state. 

Been so many events with razor thin margins in this area--whether its IP, ZR, rain.

Mitch is only about 20 miles south of me, but we have the same totals this winter--I think 69" vs 70". He probably averages 40-50" more annually.

Stat padder week. 4.0", 1.8", 2.8" last 3 days.

 Surprise 4" fell here overnight.

1 year ago to the day pretty good too..

5.5" with 1.22" liquid equivalent. Solid 4.5-1 ratio..ha

4.5", heavy snow and wind. 29.5° F. Flakes occasionally aggregate and try to mix with sleet, but so far high UVVs and precipitation have been keeping midlevel WAA at bay. Very dense snow, probably a 6-7:1 SLR, but actually rather dry. Not loading up on trees or utility wires.

Everything getting pretty caked here now, been hovering around 32 most of the time.

Definitely overperforming for the valley up to your north here- 3.8" and mod to heavy at 1100'.

Accidents all over SVT right now, seeing a ton of social media posts.

1.4" very very low ratio, but some meatballs falling for now. Would assume more up high so far. My cam doesn't pick up night snow very well, anytime I can make out flakes I know they are pretty big..lol.

Moss grows based on environmental conditions--usually shade, moisture and soil make up. Unless you change a couple of those, it will most likely come back. Raking and products can solve the problem short term, but long term will be fighting the moss battle without changing the reasons for it forming in the first place.

Looks like another one of those ok winters in higher elevations, but shitty in the lower elevations. I mean even CT has a deeper pack than Mitch. 

He's got like 14" OTG, but your point stands, it's been a rat in the Berks up towards extreme SVT.  Mitch has the same total as me right now on the season, which is pretty crazy and I'm sure is a pretty low return rate of that happening in any given year.

3.5" the other night and looks like a couple more this morning. 

This weekend is up there was Columbus Day weekend...total zoo on the mtns and in town.  It's a pain, but in all honesty it's what keeps these tourists towns going.

Snowing really hard. 1.4" in 30 minutes from initial band. Back to moderate now.

I'm new here, do we have any posters in like the Woodford Dover Wilmington area? I don't think I've seen any yet.

Only posters I know of in SVT are myself and @wxmanmitch above 2K (near Woodford) who post with any modicum of frequency(Mitch mostly on twitter). Some members have second homes, condos, etc-- but not many that live here full time that post very often.  Unless I am forgetting someone?

Our new friend in Brattleboro too..

Certainly no "damage".  Zero outages in SVT via Green Mountain Power.  Temps were 30-32 though in the elevated East Slopes most of the night, so prob a decent glaze in spots I would assume.

Only a few spots in NE that hasn't had a 12" storm recently. Would be interesting to see a 24" map...

We were stuck in no man's land in SVT between the PF and crew band and the SE stuff most of the day. Pretty pedestrian rates and meh snow growth for big part of the day. 

Made up some ground with some 20-30:1 fluff this evening finished at 5.5"
