Mets, read an article today that terrain has no impact on banding because it does not provide enough lift. Is this over simplified or hold true in events such as these?

Yea I am thinking that as well but more of a gut thing, not sure why. Think I'm to used to the NW pattern with thunderstorms.

Our kiddo's first real storm being able to run around. I can't wait.

Awesome lol. Let the good times roll.

This year they really cleaned out the Hollows. Previous years it was creating "Voodoo." Some volunteer days they basically made entire new areas that, luckily, still are not on the map - I believe "Narnia" was a volunteer glade but could be mistaken. Since the east side is one massive glade now the west side needs some love. Only 5/6 real unmarked areas there that are named.

Yea I'm really thinking that rt. 8 stretch from Waterbury/Winsted jacks and breaks 20". The Snow Capital of Norfolk could make a run at 2'.

HRRR really thumps that Waterbury/Bristol/Torrington, CT area from12-2am. Could see some 3-4" per hour stuff there.

Hahaha. Not "The G-Spot", the other side of Red. G-Spot has been sneaky good the past couple years, almost like it was forgotten about. Been to many volunteer days, always a good time.

All natural, just how it grows with that exposure. My handiwork has not translated well (i.e., narrow chutes down multiple large ice falls that can only be skied a couple days a year). Guess I just don't have the eye for it. The guy behind the camera in these is the master at it. Probably done 10-12 areas at Magic and they are all fun and unique. The lower 200' of one some of use made is pretty sweet though, just gets loaded at the bases of these ledges because of a main trail 100' below it. (I clearly need to stop landing in the backseat)

That would be nice. From BOX... I`ve stressed higher snow amounts further to the north and west; after a front-end-thump of heavy snow overnight, this transitions into a potentially slow-pivoting snowband affecting the Berkshires, western/central MA into Hartford and northern Tolland Counties in CT. There is still spatial uncertainty in where this band may set up, and while amounts here were raised into the 12-18" range, local amounts in this admittedly rather broad area could be as much as 20" for those who happen to remain in this quasi-stationary band.

Hoping to try this area for the first time tomorrow, about 600' of nicely spaced and clean woods There is another area close by that is similar but much steeper and would need 10" of cement not blower.

Oh stop. It's all about sun angle. Especially with these overnight deals.

Exactly what happened for this storm March 6-7. Was painful. I think we only had 5-6" in Amherst from this. Just watched the radar get shredded while both east and west were pounding.

Yea I'm excited to see how it pans out. There is some serious micro stuff in this area. As radarman mentioned earlier in this thread, and told me when I moved here, the difference between living off rt. 21 and 202 in Granby can be 8" vs 1" of slush. Same for 202 north of town vs. south. Even when it R/S is not a concern, center of town can get baking powder and 3-4" for the duration of a storm and Swift River area is 8-10". It's fun for sure. I think BOX is "going big" because of ratios. This should be more of a 12-14:1 storm. Closer to some of those Kuchie maps than the standard 10:1.

Yup, up until yesterday I was still thinking 6-8" and am still doubtful of 10+ here. We have done so well the past few years in terms of snow and severe here we are due for a bust while other areas rake. If things are white and it results in a snowday for my wife I'm happy. The tracking of this event has been fun and quite the learning experience.

That snowhole over my house is consistent on so many models and was initially showing up 3-4 days ago. Pretty funny stuff.

Nice. Forgot what 13* felt like until I walked outside in shorts, a t-shirt, and boots on this morning to get some firewood.

Definitely. Mohawk/Sundown for the New England jack? lol

Youll get busted for trespassing. Super strict.

So many ticks north definitely seeing some dryslot potential in central/western CT up through central Mass. Still lots of time to figure that one out.

Bust...

Definitely a good step.

We should have ratios higher than 10:1, just a matter of what is there for liquid.
