What a crushing up there..congrats guys. Mini Firehouse into Underhill right now

Jesus--impressive stuff. Looks like a plains blizzard.

I know Ray cant wait for the next Stowe update

That radar up in NVT has been crushing West slopes, JSpin, probably Stowe, etc, etc. Moisture feed/upslope wont die down. Going to be some BIG mtn totals I would think

Lol. Right, those "public" reports can be suspect at best sometimes.

Some decent totals there. Winter of In and Up continues..for now. 7" here over past few days, but 12"+ in the higher spots nearby looks like. Woodford 17", Landgrove VT 12". Mitch probably close to 12" I would think.

Shocker---Woodford comes in over a foot with 13" so far.

Yep, flow is definitely blocked hence the radar look of the best returns struggling to make it over the taconics and into the valley here and over to the greens and east slope towns. Yes, been a number of events this year with a pretty blocked flow. That NOV 2016 uplsope event was pretty blocked if I recall. Flow becomes less blocked moving forward, but not sure how much moisture will be left down here, NVT is a different story.

Looks pretty elevation dependent again(guess not that surprising with this system), doesn't look like a whole lot in the middle of Manchester at 715ft. Definitely more "sticky" at my place higher around 1100ft. Had my wife measure and she said 4" new a couple hours ago.

2-3" inches here round one overnight. Actually came down pretty decent at times looking at my cam. See how round 2 unfolds

ALY with 2 separate references to "snow piling up" regarding the follow up system. Seems to be a tricky forecast, could be decent,especially for higher elevations Tue night into Wednesday... A second system will be riding on the heels of the first one with an evolving mid and upper level trough over the Great Lakes Region into the Northeast Locations north and east of the Capital Region, especially across southern VT, and the Adirondacks may pile up the snow and may need Winter Head lines with possibly a Winter Storm Watch. For now, we have 1-3" of snow in the lower elevations. Lows Tue night will generally be in the mid 20s to mid 30s. --------------------------------------------------------- The trowal to the system combined with westerly upslope could pile up the snow across the northern most zones again with western Adirondacks and southern Greens benefiting from the orographic enhancement. Additional significant accumulations of snow are possible.

Little under an inch with some pretty intense graupel/snow mix earlier. Got my backyard cam setup finally so I dont have to rely on my wife's "best guess" when I'm out of town.

Solid melt mitch Pretty crazy, usually a coastal transversing under LI is a decent track, but not today.. Only had about 4" in DEC here. Still along ways to go for winter weather..especially for your location

I dont know, look to be on the fringe of any meaningful QPF, and even then mid levels seem to warm--850s look pretty toasty.

1.9" here. Nearest cocorahs to me also had 2.0" at 1800ft east of the spine..so not really elevation or east slope dependent it seems. Woodford only had 2.5". The good stuff was further north and east it seems as per PFs 3am radar gif....lol Haven't checked any local ski areas--but wouldn't think any place had much more than 3-4"

Kind of related--I know there has been a lot of past discussion about 6 hour board clears vs once a day or only at the end of the storm. Just a FYI, that NWS ALY had a cocorahs event a few months back and I specifically asked the METS about that, they said they want 6 hour clears for longer events---if your able to of course. So that's the message they had to all Cocorahs members in the ALY zones.

Think he said he is in the 1000-1100ft range down the east slope near Jamaica. Yep, they events are awful for SVT. The west slopes stand no chance where I am, just immediate torch with no CAD abilities. The east slopes can hold and higher elevations too, but like you said mid levels just torch so quickly.

Yep, that low elevation of 1100ft(relatively speaking) definitely helped last event. You probably rotted at like 33-35F for most of the event

What a torch on the western slopes of the Greens last night. Pretty much bare ground up to almost 2k. East side still solid snow cover though.

Oh, lol--got it. I thought the 28.436.1 looked a little odd. 38F here now. Had a little SN/IP to start and mostly a cold 33-38F rain. See Bennington just to my SW is roasting up in the mid 50s

You might have the have the coldest temp in all of VT right now with that 28F. Most everyone seems to be above freezing with some outlying 31-32F pockets it looks like. Cold air just trapped in your little magical hollow I guess.

Don't you have a threshold for him to come plow? I don't have my guy come unless its 4"+ Now, if he's coming to sand/salt because of the IP/ZR, then that's different I guess.

As per usual in these setups, extreme SE winds on the western slopes of greens. Wife reported its been pretty insane overnight and kids have been up since 4-5am because the roaring/intensity. Gusting to 50mph at home while ALB is calm---good for flight coming in if it stays that way.

Not looking good for my ATL to CLT to ALB flight tomorrow....ughh.
