Hope you guys can cash in and get the monkey off your back. El Niño and blocking… should deliver for someone down south.

God those were the best forecasts. So simple, but yet so captivating. There was no feeling like seeing the big snowflake with his little buddy and the word “Snow” on the screen.

Feels like that’s no biggie at times during strong cutters these days, ha. Maybe 60F, but 50s in a cutter at BTV is like a common occurrence these days.

The localized snowfall is a new level, even for around here where localized snows are not uncommon. Drove to Waterbury and it’s literally like a half mile for grass to turn into 3-5” near the Forge Gym and to Guptil Rd. Making a bunch of local news for Stowe too.

Still fluffing decently. Snow globe snow.

7.5” and coming down on mid-Mountain Road. Not fluff… pasty stuff. Theres some QPF in this.

Just keep the snow coming. 11pm. Still coming down on RT 108 in Stowe.

Song has been a big hit since summer. The male struggle to provide for his family is a big burden for many. Why don’t your links imbed? About as wintry in that video as the past couple weeks.

Couldn’t imagine a more picturesque snow. It’s just stacked on every little twig. For something 100% unexpected, it’s an interesting event. Model probability had to be 1-5% of the seen snow amounts.

There’s going to be 8” at some parts of RT 108 in Stowe and 1” a mile or two north/south of it .

Just keeps dumping snow. Standing wave going on almost 24 hours now. What a weird event.

It is still snowing.

Oh yeah there was some freezing mist and drizzle. Last night my car was coating in like two-tenths of ice. I didn’t notice a ton of it today. But just super weird localized event. And it wasn’t like fake fluff. It was dense cake.

lol 6” caking snow at Topnotch.

Barely snowing at the hill. If you are familiar with Mountain Road... it's from Matterhorn downhill into town.

Negative. Half inch at 1500ft. 6" at 800ft, ha. Its more of a latitude thing than a elevation. It's dumping like 2-3 miles SE of the summit.

It’s still crushing in the zone. My wife reports heavy snow at Topnotch. That zone has to be over 6” now in the standing wave on RT 108.

Hey now, up to 4-5”, ha. Still snowing in town.

I've only seen these standing waves over town from Mansfield a few times, but this one has gone for like 8 hours of 1/2" per hour snow. It's super weird... and it's not just high ratio snow. It's kind of wet. Also, other parts of Stowe have had just a dusting like Nebraska Valley. This is literally just on RT 108/Mountain Road. Tourists/visitors are going to be confused as hell... waking up to 3-5" of paste at all the lodging properties along the road... only to find it didn't really snow at the mountain.

Town getting smoked while mountain gets nothing. 3-5” along the Mountain Road from standing wave but as soon as you go up in elevation towards the ski area it disappears. The tourists are going to go bonkers. Like how the hell do you explain mountain topography where there’s 5” at Edson Hill and RT 108 intersection but half an inch at the base of the mountain. I had 3” and still snowing at home when I left.

3” overnight. God this looks so much better than endless April.

What a nice little upslope surprise. 2-3” out there pasting everything. Winter is back. This is a standing wave off Mansfield that’s been going for like 6 hours.

We didn’t get anything down here at the valley bottom (750ft) from the synoptic earlier… but orographic snow showers are whitening it up in the village this evening. Sort of a standing wave downstream of Mansfield right now, so hope it keeps up with some residence time.

My car was completely coated in ice this evening leaving the mountain. Like enough that you aren’t scraping it… legit freezing rain and pixie dust. Half inch of snow and then ice. Exactly what the mountain needed, an evening of sheet drizzle at 26F.

It’s a start.
