Love this, the guy with the bike. That's the most Bolton Valley thing ever.

Getting some flurries at home. First flakes. Had some graupel this afternoon but these are actual snowflakes.

That photo is 1,300ft or so. I noticed the snow line on Mansfield’s east side seemed lower than it was through the Winooski Valley and west slopes. Robbins Mountain is 2,000ft and saw no traces of snow visible. Stowe had snow down below the 1500ft base area. Also went to Costco too… .

The densest 3-7” ever. Has to be like 5:1 ratios. Feels like sand. So tightly packed together.

Ended with 5” at 3,200ft cam. Looked more like 7” up at 3,700ft or ground based.

I always find snow lines interesting… like it was just cold enough 50 feet up the field to stick.

Lake Placid Village at the Olympic Complex is snowy.

A different world from CT. A completely different world being at that elevation, but in a valley surrounded by big terrain too. Elevational snows and radiational cold mins combined.

Its true. Until its happened, we do not know.

Looks to be nothing, unless it isn't. We just don't know. Good luck.

After hours of white rain and mangled flakes at 3,000ft... it's finally starting to accumulate. Looks like we have until 4-5am before it tapers off. My mtn forecast was for 2-5" at that location so we'll see. I think we can get 2+... 4-5" will be tough on that elevated snowboard. It's gusting 40-50mph up there and moving more sideways than landing on the platform, too.

Just got very windy here on the eastern side of the Spine down in the valley. Inversion aloft looks to be lowering a bit and compressing the air over the ridges, accelerating it down the eastern slopes. Coinciding with the upslope band migrating ever so subtly westward too.

If only it was colder… it has been pounding precip all afternoon and just keeps going. Prolific snow maker even into the low lands if like 5C colder today.

Classic Spine precipitation bomb. At 1500ft we are seeing 40mph gusts and just pounding rain.
