Finally starting to crank here, let’s see what we can do over the next 4-6 hours 

you're in a great spot for that rotating band (I think).

38” on the level in West Dover, VT 

I'm not disputing that as accurate given the location, elevation, and persistence of the band in that area all day...but...

I'm always skeptical of deck measurements, especially since most decks are attached to the house and right under the roof where drifting happens.  That one looks level with the rest of the deck at least...

Those echoes off the coast of ME are racing in.

bring it

Also, can I get a fish emoji on my locale?  I'm a nobody but at least i'm the PWM obs "ASOS"

Obviously overdone a bit NW of 495 waaay overdone 495 SE. that has 0 shot of verifying the way radar looks now  

I think that was intended for the March thread.  Look at the timestamp on the map.  That's from 12Z today through 06z on the 19th.

I thought CT

This is in Tolland, MA - west of Springfield.

That wind depiction is a potential problem for the coast up here

Unless you post here multiple times a day, please post your location with your obs.

Very minimal changes. Going to make the regional graphic look silly.

Can't speak for your neck of the woods, but if you add up each forecast for PWM and compare to actual, we're at 54.6" forecasted vs. 52.1" actual.  That's pretty damn good.  This is obviously unlike any other system this season w/r/t bust potential, but on the whole I'm inclined to ride the hot hand and go with their forecast.

I'm not a huge skier - usually get out 2-3x a season.  Was at Mount Abram this past Friday and as @powderfreak and @Lava Rock describe, conditions were incredible.

First 2 hours of the day was corduroy packed powder under deep blue skies.  No lift lines made for lap runs the entire day.

One trend I'm appreciative of is the move away from dong talk towards nipple talk.

To each their own, of course, but this is more preferable to me.

I can’t stop laughing at how true this is.

I have my phone set to greyscale and it's still a true statement.

How's the week of the 27th looking?

Asking for an observer abandoning his post 

Snow depth measurement is a conundrum this time of year, as you all describe here.

My NWS stake is in a shaded area  (you can see it to the right of the precip can in the second photo I posted above).  I use it as a data point, but not as the data point for depth.  I take a handful of manual measurements in that general-but-less-protected area.  It gets tricky as I don't want to disturb the snow anywhere near the stake.  

I think this is the recommendation from NWS, but the gradient does become significant this time of year.  At the end of Feb,  when we were just about melted out, I was reporting 3-4" as a depth.  As you drove around town, the exposed areas were T-1".  My stake was at 5", and most of the other readings were 2-3".  Apparently a member of the public contacted GYX to ask about the validity of my readings (like I said, around in non-protected areas it was relatively thin).

You better run. You better take cover.

Up a degree in the last hour.  32/22.

Dendrite/Mahk..   you guys have flakes in the air yet or are those radar returns virga?  Trying to figure out if that's going to make it here before midnight.
