9" measured on elevated surfaces within 24 hours is a solid snowfall (1-1.5" before the flip). Closing in on a half inch per hour average over an entire calendar day. That's a good shot of snow for the northern Greens as the trough moves through.
-
That makes total sense too... probably a tenth of an inch of liquid or so ahead of Mansfield. With these good ratios, 2-3" storm total increase makes sense. Say a 9" vs 12" event. This was 5pm at 1,500ft.

First Winter Storm to kickoff 2025-26 Winter season
powderfreak replied to Baroclinic Zone's topic in New England
Agreed. The default is certainly more progressive... it has to work to amplify, like all systems do. It's why we know the Messenger ticks are a thing. It's probably a more SNE/CNE event rather than NNE. -
Still cranking away. Storm total is what's on the stack plus 1-1.5" that was there between 5-6am before the board flipped. The base area probably is only an inch behind or so.

First Winter Storm to kickoff 2025-26 Winter season
powderfreak replied to Baroclinic Zone's topic in New England
Ha it was in jest as a joke. Personally, I want it over like metro-west of BOS, lol. I feel like it’s my duty as a white walker north of the wall for a comment here and there… but in reality it is nice to see enthusiasm and hope again on the forum. It feels a bit like the old days on here for the past 48 hours or so. -

Ugh. -
Yup, it was 3” in 24 when I posted that. Two hours later it’s 5”. Really not much difference between 1,500ft and 3,000+ feet. 1” last night and 4” since 6am.

4” overnight plus today up there? Must be a sweet powder day. Its been snowing for a couple hours (1”/hr) and about 2” new today after 1” overnight. This is accumulations since about 9-10am in the base area.

It must be, only does it during standard time. Unlikely to show feet of snow during daylight savings time. -

I couldn’t resist . It was either that or post something about how that run is suppressed. I’ll go back to watching from a distance and come back on Sunday when it starts to unravel again. -

We just don’t know. Could be lower. -

180 hours out. Unlikely as modeled but the chances will be there as the seasonal baroclinic zone sags south in the means. -
While we are into a thaw, today was an incredible day. 30-40 degrees on the hill, chalky packed powder up high, a bit of hero snow on the lower half. You know it’s going to change in 24 hours with rain arriving tonight, but today was about living in the moment. A fine November stretch… from 4,000ft to 1,500ft has been beefed up so far.

That is a crazy sequence of events in the final week to Christmas. Is it better to have loved and lost, than not have at all? This was 2015 Stowe/Mansfield on Christmas Day. Only Xmas Day since 1954 with no snow on the ground at the Co-Op stake. This November reached a higher snow depth than was seen at any point during that 2015-16 winter. -

Doesn’t he post pics of a Christmas tree farm? Someone on here does. Or they just like rows of 3-7 foot tall trees in their yard. -

Yeah we can take the 36 hour thaws but need to avoid a 72-hr bloodbath with 1”+ rain. -

Hard to hate the start so far too. Even low elevation woods are ok… we’ll see in a couple days though, haha. -

Should help preserve the snowpack a bit more? -

Yeah we just have a crusty couple inches in the yard and the fields are melted out. Highly elevation dependent start to winter. Only saw 3” total 24 hrs at all plots at Mansfield, like you said. But looks like adding another inch at Lookout since the flip this morning. Academic but guess it’s now 4” up there in 36 hours.
