It’s been sneaking up. Measured 278” now at the consistent 3,000ft level. That’s really about average. Before we started measuring and verifying snowfall in the same location, the ski area averaged 330”. After I started bringing some real accountability and being diligent (no optimistic estimates based on a deep pocket), our average is more around 280”. This year is now at that level. And considering the amount of major melts, the snowpack on the hill has been decent. I’ll have to run the numbers, but I think we are around 100” of snowfall in the past month up there.

...Lamoille County... Stowe 20.0 237 PM 4/04 Measured at 3000 ft. Love being one of the few trusted controlled mountain measurements. Can come with the receipts, ha.

Very pleasantly surprised. Sneaky big storm. keep forgetting it’s April too. Might be the largest April snow in town since I’ve lived here. Not sure what would’ve been bigger since 2010.

Just got home. 14.5” on the wife’s car and 15” depth on the ground. Absolute paste. Lotta QPF in this one. Yes, the positive depth models were wrong, ha.

Trench town.

High Road is in with 20” so far.

Power out at ski resort. We have to be near 18” and hammering.

Morning CoCoRAHS snowfall amounts. Pretty even spread but definitely heavier to the east of the Spine.

Whoa didn't know about that one! Nice.

If we get this between 12pm and 6pm, its going to get real deep in a hurry.

We are getting backside deformation. HRRR has been highlighting central/northern greens today.

Ha maybe he did? I read it a few times and thought he was asking about what I just posted at 3k .

13” at High Road at 9:15am.

13” and snowing 2” per hour.

Up to almost 10” at the ski area.

Not really wet over this way. More like mid-level deform snow. Just choking dry dendrites.

6” at the office and this has to be 2-per hour rates. 27F.

That sounds too easy. Suddenly white here.

Back over to snow on Mountain Road heading up to the ski area. Much more flakes here down the road all the sudden too.

Regardless of how this turns out, a good sized area seems to be wasting QPF on sleet or wet snow struggling to accumulate. This is another time when the 10:1 maps feel off.

Just hammering wind-blown sleet. Loud against the sliding doors.

Impressive but that look doesn’t make me think “huge NE snowstorm” . The fact that there’s even a chance of significant snow for some is a win with that.

Negative ha. It’s either 1500ft or 3000ft. Though could easily go out to that elevation and measure what’s on the crust from today.

Yeah got an inch and then sleet at 1500ft.

Just flipped from snow to sleet up here.
