    There is a definitely a threshold where the lines get blurred on pack depth and just the optics of it. Like when you get to 24-26" I feel like it doesn't look "that" different from 3ft just from an overall perspective kind of like you were mentioning. Like even last year after the grinch wiped out 30", got back to 28-29" in FEB I think with little freshers all the time and felt like more OTG.

    The Woodford measurements are not totally accurate IMO. Little bit inflated I've noticed at times, even with it being a total weenie spot and probably the best in SVT. We talked about this I think in the ski thread last year or maybe the NNE thread, the spotter is a woman around 90 yrs old or older and who took over from her husband who passed away some time ago. Amazing dedication to be doing that at that age, but seem to be a few discrepancies that I have noticed and even Mitch too I think.

    He had 1.7". I had 1.1" I wouldn't say epic bust by any means, as we were always on the fringe, but things definitely didn't break right to grab a little more than expected.
  4. backedgeapproaching
    Highest gust I had today was 12mph on Davis..still damn cold though.

    Going to be some SNE peeps flying up the snow table standings blowing into top spots, well outside of the top 3 that are locked every year of course.

    Up to a balmy 1.8F....Maybe like 1" give or take. I know Dendrite said forcing wasn't there, whether forcing, dry arctic air seeping in ,subsidence or whatever--most models nailed it here with little to nothing accum wise.
  7. backedgeapproaching
    Yea, that would be nice. Has 2.5" QPF of snow/IP down here.
  8. backedgeapproaching
    Yea, even under some halfway decent radar returns there is nothing at all coming down right now. Stratton summit cam has like miles and miles of VIS..lol. I was always out of it really even here, but, not sure even places east of me in VT got much?
  9. backedgeapproaching
    There is certainly some cold air nearby for you guys to tap into. I'm currently at 0.6F with some very light artic dust falling in SVT.
  10. backedgeapproaching
    Yep, love those..covers up the "tired" snowpack look.

    Nice, always loved the eyewall drone shots.
  13. backedgeapproaching
    -7.3F
  14. backedgeapproaching
    Little further south? I guess I'm Im kind of faux NNE anyway down here..lol..
  15. backedgeapproaching
    If your going to downslope, prob the best direction to do it..cant think of many blockbuster snow events on a south wind. Only issue is a strong cutter making a dent in the pack. Interestingly, south wind here is one of the few directions that is a non event..even tonight is weird, every station in the valley here is 35-37F while its 31.1F here almost calm.

    This map sums up this storm pretty well. Terrain influence heavily in play.
  17. backedgeapproaching
    Just give up. Its death by a thousand 2.7" upslope's.
  18. backedgeapproaching
    Had exactly 1.27" LE when I melted down..kind of interesting given our vastly different locations. 11.2" total though.
  19. backedgeapproaching
    Last batch moved through..skies brightening. 11.1" barring any addt snow tonight.
  20. backedgeapproaching
    11.1" All local hills should be good for 12"+. Well see if any uplsope materializes tonight.
  21. backedgeapproaching
    Its crushing in the last batch moving through with wind way down. I had 8.3" a little while ago--might be able to squeeze out double digits even here. Surprisingly not that much less than Mitch had. Think the wind and ratios just played havoc on the higher end totals overnight in SVT. Just super dense base builder stuff.
  22. backedgeapproaching
    Stuff down here is super dense, this ain't no fake Fluff. Very nice base builder as mentioned.
  23. backedgeapproaching
    31.4F. Went from blowing and drifting to caking as the warmer air comes in.
  24. backedgeapproaching
    Congrats on reporting as much as Stratton and Bromley! I think the winds are just making it impossible to measure honestly, I would think more than that has fallen. But certainly some work to do to hit even bottom end of expected totals. Hit 51mph on my Davis, snow and blowing snow. No idea how much, seems in the 5-6" range based on eyeball, lots of blowing and drifting and crappy needles falling.
  25. backedgeapproaching
    Absolute whiteout with the winds over on this side of the Greens. Where are u this year?
