Grandfathered in?

Single family are mutli-million for sure. Even the twin townhouses slope side are 7 figures.

Stratton can do OK in upslope, I really don't think they are on the same level as Woodford and Glastenbury. Stratton will struggle a little more in blocked flow upslope while Glastenbury/Woodford clean up, they also clean up unblocked as well. I've been up there a few times after upslope events and never seems like "wow, they got crushed". Synoptic storms, yes, they do really well normally as would be expected. Interesting about the snow making contamination-could be a factor. Here is an example of the Nov 2016 upslope storm I was talking about. This was purely upslope IIRC, but also a very blocked flow one too I believe. Woodford had 26", Stratton area 9" looking at that map. (ALY has the Woodford area shaded too far east on the map--they always do for some reason-so bump that really dark shading over west a bit.)

Hmm, would need to think about that. Oh, just off the top of my head one that may work-- NOV 2016 upslope storm was pretty big. Don't remember the exact dates or what was on the ground, but probably not much since it was NOV. Think Woodford had like 3ft from that.

Where are you looking for the SWE? This isn't very zoomed in, but looks pretty similar, if anything maybe a different shade of pink for Glastenbury?

Ok, so you think because Glastenbury is getting more of the fake upslope that the depth's may not be as impressive?

I've only been here since 2014. 30" in FEB 2015 and 30" in March 2018. Oh, and I guess 30" DEC 2020 too. But, not a great retention area on the Western slopes.

Nice, bring a yard stick--or two. We need some verification...ha.

Yes, we talked about exact thing in the ski thread a few weeks back. There is just nothing there at all and no access, someone had mentioned the Woodford snowmobile club ventures up there I think. The upslope on radar is ridiculous in Glastenbury (for SVT standards)--every event seems to light up right over that area. The meso models sure do love that spot--every event, no matter the wind direction, bullseye's that area--lol.

It's too bad they don't keep a running tally for seasonal totals on Weathernet--would be interesting to see the seasonal Woodford totals(and other spots too--like those high spots in the Catskills) In 17-18 Woodford probably reported 230-250". The upslope there is the real deal though--the radar is always totally lit up from Glastenbury Mtn down through Woodford. They do better than any SVT resort in that aspect IMO. As mentioned multiple times, little suspect of some of the totals myself at times--but like Mitch said cant say there not accurate unless someone outside party is verifying.

PF is brave soul posting orographically driven precip maps with a deep pack while SNE has daffodils popping up and tilling gardens...

80" might do it as far as realizing its obscene. When I was in the PNW in FEB 2008 depth was 120"-150" up at Snoqualmie pass.--certainly noticeable-ha. You could tell it wasn't your average 2-4ft. Houses buried up to the second story at the base of the Summit of Snoqulamie ski area.

Yea, roof stack is a good indicator if its been stacking up nicely without a lot of wind events over the course of a winter.

There's probably a threshold where it kind all looks the same--like 44" might not look that different than 58". Anything over 2ft looks pretty beastly to me.

1.9" overnight with snow continuing most of today--although not adding up to much other then some wintry appeal. Maybe a few tenths.

Berlin NH avg is 26.7F/1.5F for 1/18. So shave a few degrees off for his location, not sure how much you would take off. Maybe 5F? Interesting looking at Berlin data, 50% of the lows are below 0F for this date. Guess that makes sense since the average is 1.5F

Days and days...

Only one type of event will wipe this base out...hopefully we don't see it again until 2030. Might be a normal climo type storm by then..lol

Of course Woodford has to one up everyone and come in with 24"....lol.

Was cranking last night with the uplslope for a while--precip shut off now. 4.6" fell overnight. A little under 10" total--most pretty dense, top inch or two little fluffier. Nice event and more than I thought being that I don't live in the clouds at 2K

A warning, yes. But technically its only for 1500' and up.

Its close here..most spots 31-32F. Like you mentioned i think, mid JAN elevation events don't seem to be that common. Center of Manchester only had about .5-1" of slop couple hundred feet lower.

Phase 2 underway here. 4.9" of wet cement from earlier. Looks like maybe 1" down and coming down nicely with good flakes. Finally below freezing at 31.8F. Was above freezing for the entire event starting last night through all of today.

Sounds similar to what I heard from my buddy who was up there today.

ALY for part 2:
