Similar down here..full exposed to the SE. I'm only like 500ft feet from the spine though, so it just races down during bad events. So far, not too bad, just lows 40s gust.

Measured 1.7" in 45 minutes earlier, so yes definitely close to 2 an hour. Winds lessend a bit here and it been ripping for 4+ hours now. Were close to changeover, Temp up 30.3F. ALY had 1-2" for here. Got 5" down now--big flakes still for now.

I had a similar drive here earlier,.only mine was like 5-10 minutes..lol. But it was nasty out there for sure..hard to see anything.

Pretty normal here with a strong Low cutting. SE LLJ ripping down W/NW facing slopes of the higher terrain. Meso's showing this pretty well. Does seem to look worse in NVT, so see how it goes overnight up there.

26.8F. Pretty low VIS--gusts to 42mph already- snowing sideways with a mini ground blizz---lol

My temp dropped a bit from 30.2F down to 27.8F now. Bouts of-SN and already little breezy--27MPH on Davis. Lets see what the overnight brings--going to rip here I think.

Maybe he is a lurker and closet snow weenie? He has been living in Manchester VT full time for at least a decade I think...

Full ALY for SVT. As expected Eastern Areas did better in Windham County VERMONT ...Bennington County...

The valley here down through Bennington got totally porked. The deep east flow downslope along with never getting into any good FGEN lift resulted in not much accum. Ended with 6.9" here. Center of town Manchester prob 3-5" and heading south prob 2" in Arlington and 1" or less in Bennington. There was a little upslope that came through last night that added a little in those spots.

100%. DDH does get a decent amount of nickel and dime upslope/streamers to get to their average, but it's events like this that are killer.

Bennington and Brattleboro prob have similar averages, but would much rather be in Brattleboro if I had the choice.

Yea, I would guess 4-6 at this point.

Finally getting some decent rates here with some boderline S+...lots of wind overnight

Nice. Looks like nice totals from KLW up through your area. Looking like easy travels through Bennington VT...

ALY had a little write up overnight and why the relative porking with the intital WAA push. Only 3-4" here. Local guy at 1900' reported 4.5" and Stratton 5" I believe. Snow is continuing across eastern New York and western New England, however expectations of spatial coverage has not exactly met reality due to the evolution of the coastal system now currently located east of the Delmarva. According to SPC Hourly Mesoanalysis, the parent shortwave trough has pulled ahead and east of the coastal low, forcing its deepening to come to a staggering halt and stretching energy further east. Because of this, the precipitation shield has shifted to the east with very minimal northward progression. A secondary low pressure core has formed across western Pennsylvania in association with an upper trough, acting as another source to drain energy from the aforementioned coastal low and simultaneously push it further east in tandem with the pull of the upper shortwave pulse.

Yep, pretty deep easterly flow, going to be some valley screw jobs. Places like Hoosick Falls NY will be a local minimum.

Just showing the downsloping on the western facing slopes with easterly flow. Mesos normally show that on every event. Sometimes accurate, sometimes overdone.

Covering up the lush late Dec lawn..

We green still..lol

Well, this is what we have come to. Don't think I have ever seen BTV publicly post a percent chance of .1" snow map....lol.

Looks like only 2 years had 0" depth on 12/21--this year and 1969. Think there are like 70ish years with recorded depth,with some other missing years since the COOP goes waaay back. So actually reporting 0" on 12/21 seems pretty unusual.

You have just about used up your main thread photo quota PF before the first 1" falls in SNE.. Lower than expected totals here just like pretty everywhere in VT this last event. 2.5" sticky wet snow. Think I only have like 12-13" this season. Couple razor thin events where it was just too warm on west slopes. Been pretty decent early on at Stratton/Bromley, few good days have been had out there at both so far, east slopes and elevated have done relatively well here. Tight cutoff to the south for season totals as I think Mitch hasn't had too much so far.

Love when BTV puts these elevation graphics out. Cool stuff.

Yea as LongBeach said the bright banding on radar was pretty intense as that blob was heading NE, thought there could be a chance for lower elevations as temps were 33- 34ish here at the time.

Interesting-I was thinking that looking at my cam overnight. My cam doesn't pick up snow very well at night based on lighting, etc but you could see the Sierra cement really coming down. Only got 2.7" here, but more than I thought since it was mostly rain before midnight.
