Some Sierra cement falling now, 32F with some massive gloppy flakes. Overnight was 32-33f rain/ZR for the most part, just flipped about 10 minutes ago. Should be moving out quickly, maybe a quick inch I think at best

Pretty simple, just get a 2' x 2'(or similar size) white board. Some attach a a measuring pole to the snow board, Dryslot/Jspin I think have one. PF has one at Stowe and some other resorts do as well. https://www.weather.gov/media/ffc/snow_measurement_guidelines.pdf https://www.cocorahs.org/Content.aspx?page=MeasureSnow#equip

Quick 2.3" in about 2-3 hours before it moved out. Now 21F. Liquid was .22" Noticed this new trend last year with the kids school, they always close and never seem to ever do a 2 hour delay anymore. Same with today when it was pretty well established this would be quick hitter this morning--still closed.

Had some moderate ZR at 30F earlier this morning before the flip to SN. Been coming down pretty nicely since 630 or so, should be enough to cover the grass at least, so guess that's a win. Probably end with about 2" or so before it moves out.

30F with freezing drizzle.....awesome.

Definitely a mid winter feel(sans pumpkins ) out there with temps mid 20s and on and off snow.

Yea, we all know that on here and understand why. It was funny reading that exchange though on that other site when someone doesn't understand the nuances of the terrain influences and just says "nope, cant be true".

Ha. I was reading some ski forum a few years ago that I think JSpin and you used to post in(maybe still do?) I think JSpin has it linked somewhere on his page, but anyways there was a guy on there that was blasting JSpin about his snowfall numbers because of his low elevation in relations to some other 1k+spots that don't get as much. I cant recall the whole exchange, but he basically was calling him a liar and that there was a 0% chance he was getting that much snowfall. I may be off a bit in my memory, but it was along those lines I think.

Magical Hollow.

Lol, its definitely an underrated aspect in selecting a house---flood light coverage for pure weenieism You certainly look to have adequate coverage.

Looks to be ripping pretty good on Stratton Summit cam at the moment.

FROPA of yore...half town lost power. Mine went out for about 2 hours this morning, just got back on. Have to say, Green Mountain power normally does a good job of getting power restored quickly, at least in my area.

Sorry, meant DDH is a few miles west from the immediate Western Slopes of Greens, not from me.

Right @powderfreak you cant get much closer to the western slopes than where I am now. DDH is a mile or two away I think.

Just want to keep the NNE thread alive and kicking Winds were intense today-I was chatting with Dendrite a few months ago about anemometers as I want to get one on my roof, haven't picked one up yet, wish I had it today. Solid 8 hours of freight train roars and wind. Had to be in the 50-60mph range in gusts.(Maybe I'm overestimating which I know is easy to due with winds-thats why I need the anemometer)Its just constant hour after hour. It's amazing how much the trees can bend without breaking--must be some acclimation as its windy often here from that direction. Somehow had 1.31" in the gauge even with those downsloping winds, I thought the rain was blown to Syracuse..ha.

Yep, I think this is the first year VT has officially changed it. My wife told me that the other day, I had no clue.

Seemed pretty busy around town with some post Columbus day weekend peepers invading---they are going to be pretty disappointed. Unless they enjoy some Brownish/yellow Beech leaves hanging on.

3.51" final. Feel like that is kind of maxing out on synoptic precip in the valley. Never lost power here but good amount of outages around here also--lots of limbs and a random tree here or there down, but nothing extreme it seems. No damage that I noticed around me, but winds looked to shift W/NW after midnight which is normally kind of meh here.

Not hard to pick out the SVT valley downslope screwgie....

Yea, Forky had a nice little troll post in the Foliage thread with 925Mb wind map, but I think the prime foliage areas in NH, VT ME are past peak anyway(I think in ME too?), even way down here we are past peak in the valley. If this storm was 1 week ago, then definitely would have made an impact on Columbus Day weekend peepers. Mostly a dullish brownish-orange-yellow hue looking out my backdoor. Although Genes drone footage still shows lot of green and mix colors in his area.

Betting the house on the over for 24mph max gust here. BTV shows that slim sliver of 40-50 gusts. ALY just didn't seem to get that detailed with it

Lol--ninja'd by JSpin

Just waiting for PF to report the first flakes at 4K...

Sorry man, that's incredible damage. Almost looks like dead crabgrass or something, but that fact that on May 19th it looked that, definitely not--looks like actual turfgrass. Crazy how thick it is in that pic. If it really is grubs, then the turf should pull up like a carpet and you should see ALOT of grubs.

Whoa, either that was an epic disease/ drought etc that wiped it out or their wasnt any "real" grass there to begin with. Mid OCT should be very green. Was that a newly seeded area or more established?
