Yeah that's gonna be a problem if the entire state of VT receives 2"+.

Very similar numbers in Stowe Village. I think 24” here so far? Town’s been snowy this week with these types of scenes. 1-3” of rain will do wonders to this though lol.

What a stretch.

Won’t stop… eyeballing another half a foot or so overnight at home? Steady snow falling.

It’s definitely going to thaw, but enjoying the present stretch with the knowledge that it’ll snow again after the warm air intrusion. Tomorrow should be good. Detailed forecast for Lamoille County Rest Of Tonight Snow. Snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches. Lows around 18. South winds around 10 mph. Gusts up to 25 mph. Chance of snow near 100 percent. Sunday Snow in the morning, then a chance of light snow or light rain and very light freezing drizzle in the afternoon. Total snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches. Ice accumulation around a trace. Highs in the mid 30s. Southwest winds around 10 mph with gusts up to 25 mph, becoming west in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation 90 percent.

Pleasantly surprised here with 2” of fluff and it’s snowing half dollars. The 00z models have a decent QPF shot overnight.

Ha, hopefully it snows in the woodland. You guys are due. A wintry vibe on RT 108 this evening. Edit: My bad, that’s some Ginxy old phone shot.

Nobody cares, I know, but it’s firing up along the Spine ahead of the clipper. The low level S/SE flow is pushing moisture up the topography well before the better synoptic lift moves in after midnight. Then when the flow turns W/NW, it should snow again over the same mountains. Steady accumulating light snow in town at low elevation.

You got a Genie lift to decorate that thing?

That escalated quickly.

Check out Sugarbush’s latest social post. They’ve had to stop snowmaking completely due to low snowmaking pond levels. Thats a tough break.

Not a ton, like 8-10”? But it’s starting to look like real winter. Trees are caked.

Another 4” in town and like 8” at the mountain. This is wild. Just caked in white.

Just another showery round of fluff.

I still can't believe the mountains are 50"+ on the season to date and BTV has yet to record its first inch. You want to talk about microclimates... 15 miles as the crow flies between BTV and Mount Mansfield. One is looking for its first inch, the other has had nearly 5 feet on the season with a settled depth of 30". Even without elevation factored in, we've had 15" in town over the past two weeks.

That's awesome.

Lol just seeing a range of 4 inches triggers me.

Man the mountain got smoked last night. Impressive amount of snow even at 1500ft. The spots where cars were parked last night and didn’t get plowed are like a good foot of snow.

I can’t believe BTV hasn’t recorded an inch yet.

Looks sneaky snowy this weekend. Patrol opened Nosedive top to bottom on natural and we are very close to going wide open. If we can get another 6”+ over the weekend it would go a long way towards popping stuff open.

Interesting, I was going to guess you were 1”/hr. Still 0.5”/hr is a nice steady snow. What’s got me stoked is that radar image is classic. Just feeding cold moist air into the Spine behind the FROPA. Duration will eventually limit this but it’s been quite the upslope pulse. Over 7” between 3pm and 9:30pm is a nice sustained snowfall up high. This NW flow also seems to load the middle of the mountain more too, compared with the Lookout knob shown here. It’s probably pretty damn snowy up in the elevations right now. On top of the current natural snowpack this will feel deep. All the snowfalls start blending together on the ground and it skis twice as deep with the supportive base.

@J.Spin has to be getting crushed based on radar. Snowing good here in town. Mountain must be doing well.

Yeah, our ops alerts said 6.6 miles SSW, so that sounds about right. Dumping in town right now. Nice finish to the clipper.

Been a minute since I’ve experienced Thundersnow… that was awesome. That band is a beast down near Bolton now.

THUNDERSNOW! Walking the dog and flash, boom. Graupel and heavy snow.
