5” at the ski area so far.

Can see us losing our 1-1.5”/hr meso band there.

3” and nuking at base of ski area. This has to be 30:1 ratio stuff. This is how you get 9” on like 0.3” QPF.

Snowing hard. Nice mid-level fronto band developing that looks like it may hold this afternoon.

5F. Pretty chilly evening.

The High Road Snow Plot at 3,000ft at Stowe has recorded 29” in the past 7 days. The snow depth at the fabled Stake has responded accordingly. Another fluffy 3” this morning from overnight squalls. This site is one of the best snow measurement spots one could dream off. Heres a photo from a few days ago, but when we talk about the High Road location, this is the measurement site. Just a nice opening on a bench in the terrain 3/4ths of the way up the hill to sample the “upper mountain”… the readings here truly match with the conditions on the hill. It’s a great representation. If you skied through the woods at 3,000ft, this is the depth of the new snow you would encounter.

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.

Nice hit there for you Mainers. Develops at the right time. Could be some good ratios

Pretty widespread 3-5”.

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.

Added 2” more today through 2pm. Pow is back with 11” of dense on top of the crust.

Road shut down to and from the ski area.

Can see the squalls progression based on traffic. Its in the yellow zone now with good travel speeds ahead and behind.

I-89 through JSpin’s zone has to be an absolute bear right now.

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.

Holy crap, ha.

This has to be 3”/hr rates. Even if short duration. It is vomiting snow.

Only one exclamation point though, needs two or three.

It’s going down in Utah right now.

Nice crosshair of DGZ and best lift.

The rain runnels in the snowpack are the crazy part. Rare to see it like this… some Pacific NW stuff.

Yup. Great squalls moving through town here.

Really nice squalls moving through town on the backside.

They’ve been multiplying lately lol.

This forum has become something else when people who get 18” of snow are bitching and moaning incessantly within a week of that event.
