Lava Rock

I'll take that

Looks like 6" on the ridge over Lake Compounce.

Another week coming of wasted "winter"

Didn't hit the forecast upper 30's. Hi of 34.1f

The ice on Raymond Pond is pristine for skating.

Only the GFS op runs, but the mildest on the 16-day periods at Augusta has regressed from low 60s (with 2"+ RA) to low 40s (with small RA/mix events) over the past couple days - still 5-10° AN but the furnace seems to be burning lower.

oof! that would have been terrible

Agreed. The rhetoric is a little over the top on this. It's a pretty solid mild period and the numbers at the end will bear that out. Luckily, it's not going to set in for a very long time. It should be out of here by Xmas...my thoughts the past few days has been hopefully we can sneak in an event before Xmas. The transition period can sometimes be favorable for that. 

at least it looks like we avoid the deluge next weekend.

Just fixed my FARS yesterday. Fan was blocked by old hornets nest.

Let me get back to you on that. I need to see the difference in the mounting options. The 24hr FARS has its own batteries and solar panel. I would think the passive is disassembled from underneath the rain gauge and the FARS mounting bracket is assembled in its place. 

Did u get a vp2 or Vue?

New Davis station arrived.   Hopefully will get it out in the field today.  Sitting in the driveway the low was 7.6F  4 feet off the ground.  Old Davis on the roof had a low of 11.4F.   30 feet vertical makes a huge difference.
Fan is working fine on the new station but will not be able to get anemometer up there til probably spring.  Roof is still snow covered.
6" of cement on the ground at my snowstake, but more in the woods.  Maybe, hopefully some bare ground next weekend for the animals.   Coming up on a month with constant snowcover
 

That's great.

So I made my kind-of move up to Pit2 a month ago.  When packing, one of our indoor cats managed to escape outside and vanished.  My wife came back the next night and reported it was under the deck.  I drove down the following night to coax it out.....no sign.  I stayed the rest of the week; she was gone. Then the snows and November cold set in.....we were sad, but it is what it is.
Fast forward to last night.  I came to Mass to make sure the house was still standing.  I'm watching TV enjoying the return to my wood stove, and both my dog and and I suddenly sit up because we hear meowing.  I'm like 'no way'......well, after a month Wilma had returned to a spot under the deck!  I'm so happy I came back last night--with the single-digit temps I'm sure it would have been a struggle for her to keep going much longer.

Sounds like you didn't read the rest of the post. 

nope. I read the worse part, but went back and saw the chances for some snow, so fingers crossed. Mother nature blew her load too early

Mild up is going to likely last to at least 12/22 or so and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes right through Christmas. 

This doesn't look like a December 2006 or December 2015...so no need for the weenies to totally freak out. But def going to skew above normal. As can be seen on some of the clown range runs, we can still get snow events in those types of patterns. Also look historically to the final 3 weeks of December 2002. That was an above average regime but we scored some good interior events (the coast even cashed in during 2nd half of Xmas storm). 

awesome. Love a brown xmas.

It has a solar powered aspirating fan. I have a few other outdoor temp sensors and it seems pretty accurate to me when compared to them and nearby stations.  

the price of these newer units is attractive. I'm going to buy a new WS this spring and will likely go Davis again, but they are so much costlier. Although, can't complain about reliability. Mine's been going for 14yrs. Had to replace a board and solar shield.

Pretty cool. Colorado based company. The only issue I see personally is you have to upload your data to their servers and can then view only on phone app or WU. I've been using weather display for years and upload data to my own site, which to me is better option

The weather flow station Hazey referenced before is interesting. Claims it has no moving parts and uses an ultrasonic wind speed sensor and haptic rain gauge.

Those look like pretty slick and modernized. The specs for temp and rainfall are in line with Davis vp2. Davis need to upgrade the console badly.

Can't believe they are full open. Nuts

Its dumping on the Sugarloaf cam, they are full open. Unreal

Almost looks fake. Gorgeous

I'm not sure I've ever seen the combination of late-day colors along with the inversion like I did this afternoon.
This stuff was insane.

Yes, far as I know

Is the ski area there still open? Camden ski bowl?

Rack it up!

Moderate snow, 1.5" so far this evening, bringing the total to 15.25"

Lots of dripping. 37F

I had plowguy do driveway cause my auger on snowblower was busted. Bad timing

10”-12”. I know there was a lot of compaction. This might be the hardest snowblowing I’ve ever done. Not made any easier by the fact that I have a flat tire on my snowblower. 

Nice. I'll take my measly 6" and go home

There was a COCORAHS report just north of Killington of 18" on 1.44" water this morning.  
Mount Snow saying 19", similar at Stratton.  
Once the upslope plays out, this will be about as widespread a 1-2 foot storm for VT ski areas as you can get.  Probably 18-24" for all by tomorrow evening.
