    This is some of the worst weather conditions I've seen in a long time.  Just high winds, sleet and freezing rain going sideways.  My car was completely encased in ice after driving up to the office.  It's 23F up here and 13F at the summit now.... it was in the low 40s like 90 minutes ago.

    Everything flash freezing as we speak and ice pellets just slamming into the windows.  

    how were the roads?

    Ha at some point you’ll be up north long enough to be ok with sharing snow and lose the southern anxiety.  You won’t care about seasonal forecasts or patterns.  Your kids will start listening to jam band music, growing out the pony-o.  Half of them will ask for teleboots for Christmas.  It’s coming.

     

    Isn't the next stage that he buys a Subie with a good set of Hakkas, sets up a chicken coop that he quickly tires of, moves his webcam so it overlooks his snow depth pole, and gets a retriever?

  4. BTV has extended its warning until 7pm

    https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=VTZ012&warncounty=VTC027&firewxzone=VTZ012&local_place1=West Norwich VT&product1=Winter+Storm+Warning&lat=43.7543&lon=-72.3728#.Yf10zOrMJPY

      inches for a storm total of 9 to 17 inches.

      Vermont and northern New York.

  5. 11.9 inches when I left the house at 10 ish.  The radar off to the SW is looking healthy for another slug later.

     

    BTV has extended the warnings:

    .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
    As of 1234 PM EST Friday...Have extended our winter storm
    warning to continue through 7 PM, including the evening commute.
    CAMS models are showing reinvigorating shot of snow in the
    18-00z timeframe. Have increased snow amounts and pops in that
    timeframe to account for this. An upper level shortwave moving
    along the nearly stationary frontal boundary to our southeast is
    adding enough lift to help reinvigorate the snow this afternoon
    into the evening.
  6. Storm report from BTV show pretty uniform amount in northern and central VT

  8. I enjoyed this apology in the BTV forecast discussion this morning:

    Previous Discussion...Overall winter storm conditions are
    playing out nicely this morning with widespread moderate to
    heavy snow across most of the region. Unfortunately our forecast
    did underestimate the potential for freezing rain and sleet in
    far southern Windsor county where several hours of moderate
    freezing rain have been observed at the Springfield Airport, and
    we`ve seen many reports on social media supporting this with
    some sleet observed in the Ludlow area. KVSF so far has accreted
    almost 3 tenths of an inch of ice, and with a couple more hours
    until a full changeover to snow, that storm total ice will
    likely push closer to 4 tenths. Sorry Springfielders!

  9. 10 inches as of 6:15 am.  Our door of the garage opens out so it took a good push to get it open enough to get out and shovel out an area for the dog and to get to the snowboard.  Snow definitely has some heft to it but no sign of sleet or any mix over night once we changed over.
