    Yeah, still days for changes coming too. Hard to lock in Day 5-6 solutions as the end result.

    -15F now, car was slow to turn over this morning. Looks like HIE and SLK hitting -20F or lower. Absolutely bottoming out. Way over this. Trees and decks popping with the cold.

    The weather does not care who starts what or when.

    Super cold day, temps in the single digits in the base area of the mountain all afternoon. It was 6F at 2pm with wind. All three snow plots on the mountain came in with a storm total of 9" which is interesting. In town we were 7.4" but the hill saw identical snowfall at 1500ft, 3000ft and 3,300ft with 9". Good cold powder out there this afternoon. Not the deepest snow but skied nicely on the smooth bed surface.

    More clarity the following day at 12z too.

    Absolutely frigid mid-winter day. 6F outside all afternoon at Mountain Operations 1500ft with 30mph gusts. MVL down to 10F with wind.

    If it helps, the NAM at 84 hours is a lot more jacked up than the EURO at 84 hours, ha.

    Still widespread Advisory snows. This talk of missing and cirrus, figured it was nothing.

    Ended with 7.4” for the event.

    Cool product. Narrows the goalposts.

    Yeah we don’t do deep pack to be honest, we do consistent pack. I’d wager 12-18” is a zone we live in most winters for a long period of time. Like you said, this pack is essentially a 6” block of ice with 6” of recent synoptic snow on top of it. The Stake is really only one more event away from normal too. 10” under normal can be easily made up. Tonight might get closer.

    Where I live is around a foot, not too much. It’s more like 18-20” up here. I’m MOD tonight so hanging at the ski area till 8pm watching it snow, ha. Stake is up to 52”.

    Snow has picked back up. Round two moving in. It’s loud snow mixed in… not quite sleet, not quiet all snow either.
  14. powderfreak
    Light snow starting up with Round 2.
  15. powderfreak
    Agreed. Also depends if tonight's round is included in those though too. Like this is what the GFS has from 12pm today onward. I always was including the second round in the forecast but I looked at BTV ended their initial forecast this afternoon which wouldn't include this stuff. I think most of the ski areas can get another 2-4" tonight... but the northern tier busted badly last night. CoCoRAHS around Jay Peak was only 1-2" on both stations.

    5.5” at home this morning and about 6” at 3,000ft. Pretty wild that BTV, Picnic Tables and Stowe Village all had about exactly the same amount from round 1. Guess that’s what 600-700mb lift does with no terrain enhancement. Depth at home back up to almost 12". I think we've got another 2-4" coming from round too. GFS and NAM have 0.25 - 0.33" QPF. I forecast 8 - 14" for the ski area by tomorrow morning and we'll get into the range.

    What a scene. That's awesome!

    This feels more like winter on the forum now. Day 6 ICON runs getting looked at and refreshed.
  21. powderfreak
    -SN started up here.
  22. powderfreak
    21/8 with north wind at 10 mph. Its gotten cold this afternoon. Going to wet-bulb into the teens with precip.
  23. powderfreak
    What a panel.
  24. powderfreak
    All this futility talk… some of these runs give you half your annual average or more in the next 10 days in SNE lol.
  25. powderfreak
    Heaviest tonight IMO up north will be on the 700mb thermal gradient. Best mid-level fronto. Models like that CVT toward Lakes Region.
