That radar went right over the heart of the ADKs and then turned northward into NVT. Jay was in it the longest, and it just clipped Mansfield. We saw 2.5” at the northern plot and 1.5” on the snow cam a mile or so south. 4-5” up at Jay Peak seemed reasonable.

Good point. If we are going suppression and deep cold, I want the folks as far south as possible to experience deep winter.

This looks like a problem down south… -10s in Alabama after the storm? lol. I have no idea what their records are but that’s wild if they get fake cold set up after snow/ice.

We've all been there and understand. It's just nice to see the page try to turn. The difference between looking outside and seeing a white landscape, vs brown and dead in the darkest time of year makes a huge difference aesthetically. -

It’s good to see Coastal rallying. ”Don’t let us win tonight”… you get one and the outlook changes. -

Was happy to see you score a good win yesterday. Look forward to hearing you again on 98.5 Sports Hub, ha. -

Ha, we can make ends meet without it. All joking aside, fairly normal progression as the jet lowers in latitude this time of year. We get in the sweet spot like Nov/Dec and then again March/April. Jan and Feb should be south of this latitude. -

Ha, it was more tongue in cheek. I mean just about any time it snows in Boston to Hartford it’s suppression up here. Don’t like the look up this way for synoptic snows, but we’ve had plenty. Time to get some mojo back in the southern lands. That AIFS run was wild. -

Nice! -
3” past 24 hrs from yesterday’s little fluffer at 1,500ft. Depth 31” at base of Mansfield. Snowpack is solid and robust even at that 1500ft elevation making great skiing to the road/108.

Another Coating of Snow Saturday - "It's all we Got"

About 3” of fluff here. More than I expected. Probably only a tenth of QPF. -

It’s above average over the last 20 years for mid-January. Plenty of QPF too. We have had some tough seasons over that time. Just like SNE. But this year has produced somehow. -

28” snowpack at 1500ft this evening. This is a QPF heavy, frozen snowpack too. I scraped an additional inch off the Barnes Camp board. The snowpack is respectable in both depth and frozen water at the Stowe base area. -

Almost as impressive is the next day max of 19F on that MOS lol. A nice 70 degree rise. -
Had 2” when it ended at 1,500ft and 5” at 3,000ft. 3K depth went 63” to 68”. Skiing felt even deeper above 3000ft. Top of Gondola might’ve had 6” but we don’t measure up there.

I think 2/14/07 takes the cake for me. We had 6” in BTV before temps hit 0F. -

But that doesn’t mean there can’t be region-wide fun winter events though still to come too. -
