NAM crushes VT. Only a slushy inch for me. GYX not feeling the love below 4k'. Only an inch or two below that and most of it washed away Friday. I think that's a big bust potential considering the colder trend.

Fluff factored

This thread going to get busy based on 12hr euro. Slower means colder

@powderfreak is this one of those upslope situations where Sugarbush is worth the extra 45 mins over Killington or should it be pretty uniform up and down the spine Friday night? Trying to figure out where to launch to Friday night for an early start Saturday.

I think wind is going to be an issue Saturday.

Sitting at 46/27 right now with BKN skies. The 1500' sites are about 44/27. I'm not exactly thrilled with the BL wetbulbs for the chance to see any snow at the onset in this area. Gene is running about 42/24 which is more doable .

42.3/24 for me. Generally Gene and I are very close in temp. I think we're at same elevation.

Any snow is good snow. It’s NE last event of the year. We’ll grab a few , pad the stats and enjoy one last snow cover day on Saturday .

Wash that dirty little mouth out with soap! March in NNE is February in SNE. I see another 20+ inches coming my way.

Once again this looks favorable for lakes region north. Elevation going to play a role. Alex looking good. I think I'll be hitting up Bretton Woods Sunday. Maybe Saturday too if winds aren't too much of a factor.

I think a map would have been helpful. A 1/4 mile isn't very far. Hopefully he had the insurance.

Snow stake closing in (or already at) 120". Only gotten that deep a few times.

RIP to the skier who died in the collision at Cannon yesterday (no helmet).  Report says other skier suffered serious injuries too but will survive.

Profile's a great run when it's bumped up, but last time I was there a few weeks ago it was groomed, fast and furious. That trail is pretty exposed to the wind, so mix that with Cannon's legendary ice and you got potential for a fallen skier to actually pick up speed. I'm guessing he had to be going at least 25-30 mph. Scary, yeah, I tend to stay away from those trails these days, at least in those conditions. 

 

Looks like Killington's planning to ski into June.

Post please. 

NE Weather alert posted a few. Globe ad a story recently. Caribou with 147". That's about 40% more than seasonal and only Feb.

There’s a reason it’s release os delayed....

It's seemed to do pretty well compared to the GFS, maybe a little more bullish on snow for us, but I've been putting more faith (barely) than the regular Goofus. Maybe b/c I've been focusing on NNE?

The only storm (at least for CT) that has trended in a positive direction or you could consider a positive bust is Nov 15th. Everything else has gotten worse as we get closer or busted completely. 

Storms have been tracking farther west than normal and gotten worse as we get closer agreed. Probably something to do with Nino-Modoki, but NNE has been getting smoked, especially Maine. Some of the photos are approaching epic.

Looking like pretty meh for Sat, but Euro very bullish for Monday. That's the one to watch. If the FV3 is the more accurate model, the Euro is getting moderate support.

That’s actually pretty cool.   Were you in Civil E?

Yup, but I don't remember much of it.

I vaguely remember this from waaaaay back. I remember the professor said they will sometimes raise the ground below a bridge to increase flow and lower the water elevation. Seems counterintuitive, but it happens in certain flows.

Just got up here. Still hasn't warmed. 31.4/30. About 2" OTG

Looks like a couple inches according to my webcam. Still all snow. 31.1/30. Changeover imminent, but it's nice to see it looking wintry.

Gotta watch that cold tuck toward 09z and beyond....models are showing it, but it's 33F rotted air. But clearly they have no idea on the sfc temps over the interior. They are gonna be like 7-8F off....maybe as high as 10F in some cases. If we see 27F sloshing back toward BOS early tomorrow, that could be a total shitshow AM commute.

Got my interest. I shot up from 22 to 30 in about 2 hours then creeped to 31.6 over the past hour or so. So I wonder which side of 32 I go. Got freezing rain out there now on top of a dense pack of 4"

Warmth has moved into MBY. 29.1/28.

Measured 3.75" before the transition to sleet, shovelled that off, and another 2" has fallen. Unfortunately it's compressed to 4.5". Lots of meat in them potatoes. Man snow!

Back to snow for now

30.6

only in mid 20's a couple miles to your west. 24.8/24

Heavy, heavy pixie dust.  No sleet to speak of. Pixie is actually accumulating! 24.2/23. Pretty amazing to think there's a warm layer above this snow.

Hopefully I can get another inch for 4" of snow, add an inch of sleet, then we verify.

I got pretty close to 4" last measurement, but now it's actually collapsed almost down to 3. Good luck, cause it's comin!
