Gonna be tough for us to pull another rabbit out of the hat on that one.
-
Love this. Shows the parking lot vibe. The black and white shots on these days show what is important. White is snow, non-white is everything else.
-
Friend's photo... out that way they had 6-7" of paste last night. We had half that. This photo is from Elmore or Wolcott, on the line.
-
Nope, you're right, bad typo. Woodbury, VT. The Elmore, Wolcott, Woodbury, Cabot zone has done very well. Friends from the ski area who live out there have gotten dumped on in all of these.
-
Yeah, been lucky up here. Even though here under 1000ft has been tough at times relative to the local higher terrain, still up to 24” on the season. And all of it has been impactful it seems, which has added to the overall “feel”. Without even looking at amounts, one can pick up the seasonal zone… interior central-northern Vermont. Yellow to red is essentially 20-50” on the season. The Woodford and Greensboro sites already 40+ inches on the year, on December 11.

Nice quiet Monday on the mountain during a snowy day. Empty chairs coming up at 11am during a storm. Love Mondays.
-
Still coming down this evening at the ski area. Don't dare drop anymore obs in the main thread, lol. Getting dire outside of our little pocket in VT it seems.
-
When we are barely cold enough to snow up here each week, doesn’t bode well elsewhere. Upslope is ripping right now. Heavy snow again. Maybe best of event lol.
-
Ratios 6:1 not 10:1. What would be great is if you could use a sliding scale on the snow maps. They had the idea, you just need to know how to use them. Loved the positive depth increase maps in this.
-
I can’t remember so many beautiful paste events. One a week now for three weeks.
-
About 3” of paste of like 6:1 snow down in the valley. Looks nice outside considering this was going to be a hot multi-day cutter last week. Moving east wasn’t the worst thing, at least it didn’t go back west and torch for another 18 hours.
-
Looks like 2-3” of heavy paste and trees bending way over again here in town. 3,000ft about 6”.
-
Yeah as expected the snow level is about 1,000ft lower on the west slope due to upslope/forced parcel ascent. That extra 0.5C matters in the isothermal column. Now it looks like it’s snowing there. But reports of snow to 500ft on west side into Champlain Valley. Past few events have been the opposite with SE wind.
-
I’m not sure what it is there, but I find those night live cams make rain look like snow. Easily fooled on those cams, but looks like flakes either way.
-
Yup it is I think. Been looking at that for decades it seems like. It stopped working for a long time but I realized it was current radar again.
-
It’s weird, it was broken for so long but they seemed to fix it… always out of date and stuff. https://www.wunderground.com/maps/radar/current/usa Regional view: https://www.wunderground.com/maps/radar/current/bgm One of the better p-type radars out there IMO.
-
I think the cold is coming in now, just dropped to 30.2F at the top of the Quad. 35F at 2600ft and 36F at 1600ft. 850mb and 925mb cold we’re pacing at similar times so once it starts snowing at elevation it should drop to 1500ft pretty fast.
-
Yeah, over this way as long as we've took a full on cutter and turned it into a net gain with fresh white cover when it ends, hard to complain at all about any snow amounts.
-
Been leaning east and weaker, have had 4-7” under 1500ft and 8-14” above 1500ft.
-
I still think a bit more progressive, less cold sector QPF (than that run) is more likely. But maybe it goes bonkers.
-
That’s very marginal. Interesting from the snow map discussion… haha. Crushed 10:1 but reality could be 3-5:1 ratios in a QPF bomb.
-
Don’t have it yet, what’s it get to up here? Coldest is definitely 950-850mb from NW low level flow.
-
Lol 1.50” QPF as snow in under 12 hours and still going. This is a huge run.
-
Yikes that’s amped up. Over 0.50” QPF in 3hrs of ++SN… but that line gets close.
-
0z 3km is nuts. 1-hr rates.. up over 0.20”/hr at times in snow band.
