ALY bumped up totals a bit in SVT. Went from 4-5" earlier here to 12" now. I don't see that happening in the valley. Also some 18-24" in the Stratton zone, this thing is moving pretty quick for 2ft. Seems a liittle aggressive, even if we can add some backside upslope. Going to be interesting to see this how this plays out across the area with all the terrain nuances that will be even more in play than normal with this event.

I have no empirical evidence to back this up, but yesterday seemed liked a record low max for my area since I moved here. Got to 0.9F for high and with some wind, just nasty. I honestly cant recall a colder daytime high past 7 years, maybe I just don't have the steel trap memory of Will and some others.

Definitely a secondary wind max here in SVT on the west slopes. Classic setup to absolutely rip.

-11.8F here.

Hoosick Falls one of the worst snow spots around..sneaky awful.

Nice, where are you again in NH? Is it that lake band going through Rutland County? That EVT/NH border area is a total dead zone for radar.

Yea, some mesos have had that band right in Southern Rut County since yesterday and thats exactly where it is right now. Pretty nice modeling job nailing its location.

Decent downstream Ontario scraps causing some close to whiteout conditions little earlier..quick 1.5". Might be it snow wise for a little while

Not to derail the thread, but NWS tossed 2 potential 24hr VT state records from DEC 20 near me in SVT-Peru and Landgrove. They don't specify clears, but say "NWS guidines" not followed or something. 20210315-Vermont-24-Hour-Snowfall-Rejected (1).pdf

Its almost impossible IMO. I never clear in any wind events, which I get from time to time here. And they are normally more on the dry side, so it just blows off the board.

Well, we have certainly had the clear vs no clear debate too many times to mention on here...lol.

I think most of those DEC 20 40+" reports were just ruler in the ground reports, there really wasn't enough time for any clearing, it was all in like 9-10 hours. One clear would have been the max, if it was even done. Im not sure how much the total would have increased from that one clear anyway--maybe in the absolute max spot could have been near uppper 40s to 50". No one had 50"+ on the ground, but pretty damn close. There are pics of 42-44" OTG. I measured 33-34" OTG a full 30 hours after it stopped in that prime zone just north of me, obviously it was pure fluff so it was settling quickly, showing it was certainly 40"+ OTG the day prior, but 50" probably a stretch.

31.4F with bareground and -FZDZ. Awesome..

Paltry 2"-2.5" snowpack is now Swiss cheese with 40/39 and some fog this morning.

Not that this is an epic pattern by any means, but these in-situ CAD/ wedge type patterns can at least be somewhat workable for Lakes Region into Maine. But man, total dog-poo for SVT, especially west of the spine. Even East slopes has been crap.

Yea, I was trying to look at Truckee data too, maybe it seems more prolific because it comes in such huge amounts over relatively short time period? Edit: see they responded to that..more "general area" It is pretty insane out there right now as we know..

Merry Xmas NNE weenies. 32.1F where ZR come to die---west slopes in SVT.

He's back..he posted in other thread.

Lol, let's have PF put in a good word, he seems to be in tight with them.

Not that BTV should totally care about SVT since we're not in their zone, but more accurate depiction for down here from ALY.

2.9" on .55" precip. Less precip than I thought, prob some downsloping here, along with warm nose equals sort of underperformer, little bit of a valley screw job.

Maybe some shadowing /downsloping for you and Alex keeping Accum down a bit?

This looks like a solid event for everyone that frequents this subforum except me.. Should have a nice sleet base though mix line north of RUT now. I dont think anything showed it getting up that far.

Central and Northern. Mitch up to me kind of porked in SVT with the mid level warmth punching through. Been crappy growth for a good portion of the day too. Maybe 2-3".

Well see how it plays down here in the southern part of the state, warm nose has never, ever underperformed...death, taxes and mid level warmth going further north than modeled. Feel like 3-4" maybe more realistic.
