After 3-4 months, it seems like it's not quite the upslope haven compared to say Alex and obviously northern greens western slopes. It certainly is a great synoptic system spot though. It seems the moose fart short waves dont quite produce over there the same as in NVT. Im sure if a wound up LP moved into eastern Canada and slowed down it could hit that area hard with backside upslope, don't think we have really had one of those though this season. Like PF said, more like squally in nature as opposed to those radar shots PF posts of the precip slamming into a wall. Always good to refreshers though.

Picked up 1.6" today. Roads actually became a mess with that quick upslope hit around 6-630. 8.5" past 2 days. That might be it for little while down here.

Pounding close to S+ out there with some big flakage...wont last long. Tomorrow will feel weird with mid 40's and showers.

Snow starting to pick up, temp is 33.4F though. Maybe squeak out an inch, maybe two.

Tale of two valley towns. Crazy how much of a pit Bennington can be at times. Had to zip down there today for something. It's only a few hundred feet lower than my house where this pic was and also in same valley really, but pretty stark differences. Seemed like they did end up picking up a few inches yesterday though, depth was around 7" there. Bennington Home..

Picnic tables..lol. Only showing this because the past 2 winters never really had more than a few inches on this at any point in time. So many windy crappy events with rain mixed or cutters in between. So many calm events this winter, being so tucked in on the western slopes certainly prone to some high wind events out the E/SE, but just not many this year.

Yea, it was great. Classic SW/S upslope- Albany only had .03" in the bucket today and DDH had .11". Both were blowing out of the south pretty good during the meat of the precip while it was calm here. Mesos were showing this pretty well for a few days, but don't think the weeniest of mesos had .70" of precip here.

Got .70" LE on my 6.6". Hmmm, might need to do another one. Seems pretty low ratio, but flakes were small most of day even though it was pounding.

Finally got around to a measurement--- 6.6". Still some decent flakes coming down--somewhat of an overachiever. 29F with some -SN still falling. Great event here locally, looks great out there.

Yea, I know you guys have had some decent events on SW winds especially with help off Ontario, seems forcing is just a bit further south on this one maybe? BTV and ALB both are pits on SW/S winds. Yep, Southern Adirondacks get crushed on this SW/S winds--that is true bread and butter for them. Look at the topo map you can see how they would crush it in this flow.

Yea, I know Ginx was giving you a hard time in the main threads, but it has been pretty quiet up that way for a few weeks, your elevation and latitude will help moving forward.

Kind of sucks that SW flow uplsope is kind of the bread and butter here as that doesn't exactly scream deep winter pattern, but certainly producing today. I think 17-18 had a bunch of these hence the big season totals, along with the ridiculous March 18 bombs.

Definitely been in and out of heavy snow, but snow growth hasn't been outrageous. But visibility way down most of the day, but not some monster dendrites. Prob 12:1 maybe? Deep winter still going...for now at least. Temp rising slowly.

SW/S winds probably the only direction that isn't great there. If your going to downslope, that's the wind to do it on--not going to lose out on much over the course of a winter most of the time.

Looks like 3-3.5" here just eyeballing--no wind and sticking to everything. Oscillating between S+ and SN. Radar looking good for the Cadavers and Resorts in SVT.

Yea, your right. DDH traffic cams still show nothing. Its pounding over near Searsburg VT and even up by Bromley which is under much weaker echoes to my NE. DDH obs show gusts near 25 too blowing form the south. Its been said a million times, but that area from DDH over across the border to Hoosick Falls NY is one of the worst snow spots in NE relative to their elevation. Obviously the cape and coastal RI, etc are worse numbers wise. A lot of spots in SNE average less really than DDH.

Also, that radar looks like it should be S+ in Bennington, but traffic cams show nothing. Must be skipping over them as it's almost Mod SN here now.

Poor Albany on SW/S winds..

Could be, SW flow upslope is pretty good for the southern Greens. 6" high end probably, but we'll see. Thinking 3-4" locally 20 miles north of Mitch.

On a more positive note, hopefully 3-4" here tomorrow.

You have to find a good Doctor that specializes Lyme--problem is a lot or most don't take insurance and many of the big carriers still don't view Lyme as a actual disease so they don't cover a lot of the treatment and treatment plans--like you mentioned in the previous post. I feel like many insurance carriers view Lyme Docs has almost vodoo scientists. Because so many Lyme tests come back negative, I think the big Health Plans are hesitant to cover stuff. It all about getting on the right treatment plan. Just as quick background, last Jan I had these symptoms come out of nowhere---mine where very neuro based and I was losing sensation and tingling in my extremities along with rapid heartbeat, muscle fatigue and extreme muscle tightness, night sweats among others. Got so bad, I was bed ridden for a few weeks and couldn't even work even though I work from home. Super scary and had no idea what was going on. You think the worst and thought it was early onset ALS based on symptoms and my Primary care said the same--which I don't think he should have as it put the fear of God in me. I didn't even think of Lyme, but he tested for it too because of some of the symptoms. Got a positive Lyme test back on all the all Lyme tests---which was a relief in some ways because I knew what the cause was now. Back to the treatment--Primary care did the normal routine of doxycycline everyone doc does--said 5-7 days I would be much better, nope didn't happen. Was worse than ever and getting worse by the day. Was able to get a referral from a friend (who has Lyme) to Lyme specialist in Albany--guy was awesome, unbelievably knowledgeable on the disease and put me on totally different treatment plan with 3 different antibiotics and different supplements. He took more detailed tests too which also showed all positive for Lyme. I never saw a tick or bullseye or anything--he did think or was more recent just because of the the Lyme anitbodies showing up in the test which were off the charts he said. Took a while, but finally was getting better after a few weeks and much better now. Like you mentioned it definitely got pricy because they don't take insurance or insurance doesn't cover most stuff. My health was certainly worth it, that's for sure. You can PM if you want for info on the clinic I went to or more info on it. I know your far from there, but with Covid everything is virtual now anyways. Good luck with getting back on track.

Radar not showing much, but some decent flakes falling here.

Your neighbor averages 17" in April with a mean peak depth of 25" in April too. They will be prancing through Tulips on the CT shoreline while your still snowing.

I wouldn't be able to bread and butter up to 100"+ by this date without some help from a big dog or two.

Yea, most of the county is made up of the Taconics and Greens, so the map is just smoothed out I guess missing some of the valleys that slice through. But I would say even most valleys are near 80 outside of down by DDH like I mentioned.
