The banding with these powerful storms, and how terrain and wind direction impact local areas, is always tricky. Here in N. Central VT we got under a meso-band during the MLK storm that was not predicted, with 2”/hr rates for a couple of hours. Fun to watch.
I saw some data that the northern stream energy that will eventually phase with ULL coming up coast may be a little slower and weaker. As I understand it this is driving feature for pulling storm on it’s modeled track. Will be worth seeing if this plays out as eastern trend.
Any thoughts on whether HRRR colder solutions which are verifying down south may translate up north? Seems like many areas are going to be affected by micro differences in topography, wind direction, etc.
Anecdotally, I went to school in Schenectady in the late 80s and I remember thinking it was significantly snowier than what I was used to living in Needham, MA through high school. Windier, snowier, colder.
Despite mixed bag of precip and some goggle icing issues, conditions at Stowe yesterday were really good. Way softer than it has been, and a lot better than Saturday. The rain/sleet combo seemed to create better surface conditions. Terrain limitations still an issue, but guns were finally going on Liftline.
We have a friend coming from out of state to ski at Stowe with us tomorrow. Is any appreciable upslope snow possible this afternoon/ evening with expected position of the low pressure in the GOM?
What’s the best place to access this radar imagery. I have a Weather Underground link with multiple options but nothing as clear as this zoomed in. Thanks.
