Wind wasn't anything too wild, really heavy precip for 3-5 mins, now just gusty and drizzling as the band passes to my east. Pea sized hail only lasted momentarily. Some nice lightning though.

Pea sized hail here. Dumping rain

Precip just started here.. Looks like the squall line has consolidated well on radar. 18z NAM has it staying together all the way to the coast. Also it looks like Mt. Washington, whiteface and the northern green mountain spine are going to pull a couple feet from upslope and lake enhanced snow on the backside of this system.

How do they prove if you did a 14 day quarantine, either in your home state or in VT? Its not like they're going to know if you went to a grocery store in that time.. From a non-local perspective I'm sure many of us spend hundreds to thousands in Vermont's economy each winter due to skiing, it stinks for everyone involved to miss out on that. I pay for lodging, food, gas, beer and of course a lift ticket each time I visit in the winter. Across all of the visitors each winter, that adds up to a big loss. Granted an infected population doesn't help the economy much either, skiing is such an isolated sport already that I think they can find a better way to make it work in everyone's favor.

Some cool clouds out there this evening. Theres a wall cloud looking formation to my south that is running ENE to WSW nearly parallel with the setting sun. Not sure whats causing it as it is clear to my north but cool to see! Is it just a moisture band from NW flow not making it to the ground or radar?

Wind is howling. Think there's a chance for a stray flurry tomorrow?

Great pic PF. Stoked I finally pulled the trigger on a pass that includes Stowe. Never have owned a pass and have always gone where the most snow/best terrain will be. Not sure having a pass will change that, but I am excited to save some money on the "down" days.

Was at Knobles with friends this past weekend. Made it down to 31F at 6-7am on Saturday am. The awesome sunset Friday night gave way to beautiful clear skies all weekend, which coincided nicely with the new moon. Couldn't have asked for better weather.

Great pictures! I live on Chester county and my area definitely hit the jackpot on that storm. Further south and west along the MD border I'm pretty sure there were totals closing in on 40".

I wish I was more in tune with the weather back then. Definitely one of my favorite at-home storm memories. Last January 8-11th, 2019 at Smuggler Notch is definitely the best event I've experienced with 38 inches. That was a huge positive bust with really localized upslope bands. Stowe, 4 miles south reported 'just' 27 inches. What an amazing experience and all-time east coast snowboarding. Also had two 2ft+ storms at Jay last march that were incredible and a few other foot+ pow days in southern vt that were fun but rocky... I got really lucky, especially since I was working full time in PA picking and choosing 7 days in advance on storms. This year has been much slower for me.

I got 28 inches in SEPA from this storm. First time ever seeing thunder and lightning during a snowstorm.
