lol. I walked right into that one. Getting hard to post anything these days . Joking aside, exactly 10 years ago I also witnessed the lowest snow depth in recorded history... 0" in 12/25/2015... the only time since 1954 without even a trace of snow at the stake. Not even a patch of ice on a cliff somewhere. Nothing. I suffered through that bullshit and did my time, so I could enjoy a winter like this, lol. 10-years apart. Worst and best Christmas snowpacks. Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays to the AMWX crew.

Back to the #1 spot.

Making sure not to have a White Xmas…

Healthy 8” (8.5) on the mountain.

6.5” -SN

3” so far of Currier and Ives snow. It’s not deep winter here in the valley after the thaw, but its a nostalgic New England village winter vibe.

Up this way the 2-5am time frame holds the most intrigue. Upslope signal with some 0.10”/hr SWE panels.

Damn, nice. Maybe 2.5-3” here? And started earlier up this way. 4” is a legit quick thump.

Surprisingly good snow growth so far. Somewhere between 1” and 2” so far and a nice looking band about to move in.

Snowing steadily, roads covered immediately.

Yeah that looks like a Hail Mary, more likely for a narrow zone on the Cape. But I love hoping those mesoscale things happen just for the oddity of it.

Scooter dong still there on HRRR.

It definitely doesn’t seem to bother you if it doesn’t snow, not nearly as much as people posting about how it bothers them .

HRRR dangling a dong over you. That 0.50” over Cape Ann would be fun.

Weak little wave put down 2.25” of Currier and Ives this evening. Nice unexpected little moose fart refresh. 18F

Yeah nice 2.25” of fluff stacked nicely on all the trees and even power lines. Looked festive driving home from Waterbury. It wants to snow this year.

Been snowing big fat fluffy flakes for a bit. Almost 2”? All air.

That run was a clipper parade. Your new spot will continue to clean up with us in NNE if we get energy every couple days coming in from the NW and plenty of cold. The difference from your area to the eastern Adirondacks is pretty stark in these types of patterns.

I think you'll do quite well too. Upslope looks a bit unblocked which should help drift your way on the backside.

Also, this high-res Canadian panel tomorrow night has me salivating. This would be a crushing from 2am to 8am... with 850mb temps falling to -12C, great snow growth, serious upslope moisture. This would be a pummeling for the ski areas. Curious how this clipper works out.

Nice little snowy evening for the holidays.

We take the herpes up this way.

Starting to think we might be able to pull warning amounts. Classic tide-in and tide-out type event. First SE flow then NW flow, dragging moisture over the northern mountains.

12z HRRR getting a look at the Tuesday night snows... I'm starting to think this could go fairly decent. Most models are putting around a half inch of QPF in the area of central/northern VT, with more along the Spine. It could be sneaky snowy heading into Wednesday AM.

Wxwatcher picked a great season to move to SLK. Cold and snow combo for the NW shelf of New England.
