Winter is in place, with a fluffy light refresher on tap.
Hope you guys get fluffed. Large part of the north has a big/tall DGZ, add in some fronto banding and someone likely has a good event through CNE into NE NNE.
Just a screen shot of a video I saw of squalls marching across the Champlain Valley today, on the VT side of the Lake.
The snow squall warnings seemed justified, based on how bad the driving got from a very fast 1-2” whiteout.
This thing is going to put down like 4” here at the ski area. It is snowing so hard on Mansfield.
But then look at the radar has some 50+ DBZ cores approaching the west slopes and Spine by Sugarbush and MRG.
Those cores are crazy to me for up here in snow.
If the ICON showed a bomb instead of the widespread light 2-4”, would it move the needle for you?
ICON is a model where if it hits good, it’s a crappy model so don’t trust it. If it shows a less than desired outcome, it’s probably correct.
Today was a good day on the hill.
High Road plot picked up ~1” yesterday afternoon and 3” overnight. 4” total added in 18 hours. We like to clear the board sometime in the AM and sometime in the PM if it’s snowing. Round to the nearest inch, up or down.
Today the new snow seemed to dry out the crust a bit. Ski Patrol dropped a variety of ropes.
4pm. Cleared.
9am.
