9.0" as of noon. Missed the big stuff, but nice and wintry again. Been gusty at times here on the Western slopes. See if we can somehow squeak out a few more inches later today tonight to get 12" Interestingly, had almost exact same total and precip at 7am as the Peru COOP at 1700' up the hill. 8.3" with .76LE here 8.3" with .79LE at Peru COOP

Heading back home a day early today to get ahead of whatever this turns into. Always room to adjust up if needed

Out of town, but also hearing about some big time boomers rolling through SVT.

Decent size bust in SVT...nowhere had more than a few inches. Saw Mitch had 3"..think that was probably the max in all of SVT. Peru Coop at 1700' only reported .8". Stratton only 2". Warm nose and not a lot of total QPF (outside of the VT/MA border where they had closer to a 1") Had .7" here after the flip last night, never even flipped below 800' in town--rain only.

How did you make it in the event yesterday? Hopefully the few hundred feet you are lower than Alex didn't affect accum.

Couple tenths here tonight as some orographic snow kicked up in the past hour

Right, as PF mentioned your tucked in close, similar to me with the greens, so not as much distance for the downslope waterfall effect. Where is Nopoles, i guess a little further out?

RGEM is interesting, nukes this little sucker CVT/NVT up through NH and NW Maine. ALY totally MEH on this event in their AFD

Just looking at the topography looks like downsloping from S, SE, E. As you and Alex know though you can reap the rewards on the Nw/N upslope flow. HIE is known as the one of the biggest SE downslope pits I believe. Look at every 3k nam precip map, you could have March 93 redux coming up the coast and I swear it would print out .25" qpf for whitefield. It does the same for DDH, always a ridiculous minimum in any SE flow event. A bit overdone, but you get the idea.

Going to be some pasty elevation snow somewhere on the northern fringe if it plays out like this...

Yea, for sure. Still being in the valley I will end up on the wrong end of elevation events as well. In Manchester itself though there is pretty much nothing above 1250' house wise. Lots of stuff available near or above 2k though up the hill in the Bromley/Stratton corridor. Funny picking the kids up from school in center of town and doing the 4 minute drive home and them being shocked and excited to see the fresh blanket of white compared to the gray/wet (as you aptly put it)they had at school all day.

As Gene mentioned, definitely one of those early season elevation dependent events, not a huge snow maker, but big difference just down the road from my place into middle of Manchester. My temp was right around 31- 32F all day. Measured 1.6" new here and about 1-2 miles and 300-400 ft lower down into town white rain all day. In town: Here:

2.0" here on .25" LE Some massive aggregates at times, only added up to the 2" though. Ground was totally bare before this morning..only some patches in woods.

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.
