All these wxstation pics with interior temp 60. Toasty 73 here with the pellet stove cranking away.

Well, that pic was like 630ish AM in my family room before anyone was up. Keep it 60-62 over night. Have 4 zones in house and a jotul stove, no problem heating up areas when I need to.

Think this is my lowest since I moved here, can't recall for sure.  Maybe Feb 16 was close or some other super rad pit type night.

Mini overachiever, 25F with SN and 3" new.

Not sure if it's industrywide or not, but the past 2 Saturday's have been the busiest I've seen at Waterville in the past 10 years. Cars were parked alongside the road about 1/4 mile from the Tripoli Road intersection. I think it's great for the industry, but the selfish part of me was like I'm not heading out until noon (which was what I did yesterday). It still was an amazing day. Top 3 for this season. I made a post earlier this season that I didn't think there would ever be more than a 5 minute wait with the new 6-pack bubble lift, but sure enough I'm eating leather. I avoided that lift yesterday and longest line wait was maybe 2 minutes. Even the ride back to Lowell was congested on 93 between exit 20 and the Hookset tolls. That's something I never really have to factor in the winter.

I dont normally hit any of the local spots on weekends unless friends or family are town, but 9pm on Friday there were so many cars heading from Manchester up the mountain towards Stratton it looked like an endless funeral procession or something. Never seen it like that on a Friday night at that time.

Those views you post, is that facing SE? Those are your typical shots you post in the snow.

Yes that's my backyard facing E/SE more than due SE I guess.

Just now, CoastalWx said:

Are you exposed to SE?

Back of house faces due SE with full exposure.  Spine is only 1/4 mile or less from MBY.  Feels like the windows might blow in...lol

Windy as hell here in BW

Its insane here right now. Just put up 55mph on my Davis roof mounted anemometer. True house shakers.  28.7F with lt snow and blowing snow.

Late to the party posting, but 9-10" range here. No wind at all, love those. So many paste events here this winter, like every single one, whether 2" or 20".

There was definitely a weenie band over night through CVT into NH.  Rochester VT cocorahs had 12" at 7AM.

Had to have been a record crowd yesterday at Stratton. I have never seen cars parked for a mile down some of the access roads. And of course with the crowds everything skied off quick. Ended up having less snow and more sleet then forecast with the first storm. On to round 2.

Friend stopped by earlier that works there and said definitely busiest of the year. 10k+ yesterday.  I dont know, maybe everyone thought it was 12"+of fresh as opposed 4-5 of sleet/snow?

Grass looks great!

 Not exactly what you like to see pushing mid Jan.

Meanwhile, played some backyard soccer down here....

Take all of that with a grain of salt. 

I mean yea I figured, but they still put the numbers in there so was taking it on some face value.  I have seen some JSpin 40 or 50-1, but they are one offs with zero wind and much smaller events if I recall.

Why even put those liquid totals in there then? All 66" is like 50-1 or even more.

Wolfie I know you scoffed at the once in a generation AFD IN Buffalo but yowzers. So many dead. The combination of severe cold severe wind and straight up 40 hrs of Blizzard was the worst of my generation. 

39" on 50-1 ratios, damn.   And those last 6" at 100-1...lol.   That depth is nuts too.

The large evergreens are completely caked, just wet snow frozen solid on them. Wind is blowing here and they are barley moving.

Maybe an inch or so?  Not like 3-4”.

ALY had less than 1" here mid day. Some of the mesos did look good, but they can overdone at times around the mtns. ALY throw up a WWA after 3-4" were already down.  

4.7" with arctic dust falling now.

Wow! 4” there?!  That’s a great changeover.

2 hours of near whiteout.

Road is closed from Manchester up to the Stratton/Bromley area.. That almost never happens.

It just started dumping here too.

Quickly turning white in areas that melted.

HRRR looked pretty snowy for NVT.

Had to triple check to make sure, but almost 4" here new since 4pm, getting windy with some blowing snow too.

Total freakin' whiteout... down to 30F

Wow 70 at BTV.

 

Fairly typical stuff here, but was fun for a few.

2.5" SN.   1.65" total snow/rain precip. 

Winds almost calm now- 44F

Depth was 14" yesterday morning and 11.5" this morning at 7AM

Yeah western slopes already getting 40mph gusts well in advance of the strong LLJ.

Up this way this is a prime home station to watch, owned by a NWS member.  Gusted 39mph past half hour.  They come right off Bolton Valley area down to 800ft elevation.

Snowing outside in Stowe, maybe an inch?

Green Mountain Power crushes it down here.  Power was back in 2 hours even during peak winds last night.  

Interestingly, only gusted to 29mph on roof mounted Davis after power went out. (peak was 39mph).  Probably had 10 windier downslopes events in the past 3-4 years. Seemed like peak winds were in the far western part of SVT more removed from the tucked in Western slopes. Almost off the Taconics it seemed or further downwind from the Greens Spine--at least down here.

Power already out before the big winds even get here. Gusted 30-40mph past several hours. Ughh.
