    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.
  11. powderfreak
    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.
  15. powderfreak
    Really nice squalls moving through town on the backside.
  16. powderfreak
    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.

    Haha. Truly not trying to make anyone jealous, just like photo observations. This is an underwhelming event.
  19. powderfreak
    Pasty. But going to sleet now.

    If the ICON showed a bomb instead of the widespread light 2-4”, would it move the needle for you? ICON is a model where if it hits good, it’s a crappy model so don’t trust it. If it shows a less than desired outcome, it’s probably correct.

    Today was a good day on the hill. High Road plot picked up ~1” yesterday afternoon and 3” overnight. 4” total added in 18 hours. We like to clear the board sometime in the AM and sometime in the PM if it’s snowing. Round to the nearest inch, up or down. Today the new snow seemed to dry out the crust a bit. Ski Patrol dropped a variety of ropes. 4pm. Cleared. 9am.

    Whooosh.

    Japan is a bucket list snow spot on the north island. Cold air from Siberia, crossing the Sea of Japan, then plowing into high topography… it’s a dream set up. Theres a reason some of these towns average like 400-500”. 26” overnight in Niseko, Japan a couple days ago, with rates to 6”/hr. The culture plus snowfall and ski terrain… would love to visit someday.

    Someone put up a map of Dec 2003. Feel like that had 18”+ in BTV area and BOS area… which is a hard thing to do.
