    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.

    Meh, need more amp than that.

    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.
  11. powderfreak
    Should help preserve the snowpack a bit more?
  12. powderfreak
    You looking for Bob’s old juice, huh. 30F

    End of day finally tried to clear up a bit right as the sun was going down.

    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.

    Late afternoon, wintry vibe, getting dark fast. Crowds have left, being a Sunday in November. Folks have work and school on Monday. Key football games going on. Its been an odd mix of November feel, but midwinter vibes to start the season up north.

    Your writing and prose is topnotch. Always very well explained. Writing like that, with such great storytelling, is a massive skill in itself, even aside from the meteorological portion.

    Even from NNE, that was good to click through and see. Graphics are great and that must've taken a ton of work to make happen. Kudos.

    Just a half inch today on colder surfaces at home. Roads wet. Got up to 34F as the warm front moved through. 2" at 3,000ft though.

    Surprisingly decent snow this morning with the clipper warm front. ASOS down to 1 mile steady -SN. METAR KMVL 231545Z AUTO 00000KT 1SM -SN BR BKN020 OVC036 M01/M03 A2991

    One of the best opening days in history. 85% of terrain off the FourRunner Quad open and fair game. Absolutely insane coverage too. All of this in the photos on natural snow. 59 trails, 258 acres. 50% of Stowe’s skiable terrain. And that’s only with 50” falling… can’t imagine what 93” would do

    I read it as the November lowest temperature has ranged from 17F (in two years) to -4F as the coldest.
  22. powderfreak
    Chilly night. 20F so far. I didn’t realize SLK made it 2F last night, ha. Already 12F there at 9:30pm.

    It all ebbs and flows... you get into ruts, or into great runs... up this way, we couldn't open until December last season. This season it is record breaking snow in mid-November. More snow on the ground now than there was during the entire 2015-2016 season in the mountains. The natural variation in weather patterns is pretty crazy year-to-year... and especially over decadal periods.

    The wolf in CT?

    HRRR has been one of the best up here lately with the upslope storms lol. 3km NAM is like 200% too wet. Global models don’t see the terrain that well. HRRR was really good with precip amounts.
