Winter Storm Warning up here too.

Yeah that season recovered nicely in Feb/March with big snowpack in the mtns. I have a photo somewhere of my yard, like 6" of standing water on top of a crusty 2-3" of icepack... I had a lake in the yard. It ended up freezing into like a yellowish color too. It looked disgusting .

I like 5-8” up here, 8-12” for the mountain. The upslope signal on backside with some cold moving in looks pretty good. Snowy day today, another 2” on the mountain and visibilities down to 1 mile in the valley at times with upslope. In the snow flow.

2014, ha.

Absolutely love all the photos. An image is worth a thousand words seems to sum up weather observations. Should see an uptick in North Country business going forward. People see some snow in SNE, and also know NNE has seen snow over the past week... the economics of the north could use an influx while building some momentum. Service industry wages are through the roof after the past two seasons of high visitation. Now the staff is in place, and the winter has been on the slower side. Anyway, the Mount Mansfield Ski Patrol keeps opening terrain with the good SWE gain this week. Snowpack depth is near 30" on the upper mountain, which is low, but it has a very firm/frozen base and then a foot and a half on top of that. Like I said, hopefully we are building some momentum across the region.

Not bad for 7pm Wed if this is what radar looks like.

All it takes is the grass covered for full mood enhancement. Will’s photos too, sweet. We all bust balls but at heart we all are snow weenies so it’s good to see so many having white landscapes tonight. Hopefully you guys can grab a few on the front end of the next one and then hold in the 30s. You’ll come out with pack.

Doesn’t have to be deep winter, that landscape looks worlds better than before. Glad you guys scored some down there. Reach around was not a Fraud 5 today.

Jeez, nice! What a storm for the places modeled to get it. Finished with 4-5" up this way.

Turning the season around pretty fast for sure. Ropes continue to drop with about a foot and a half falling in the last week.

Tippy, love your posts and contributions dude… but why do these discussions always end up making it seem like everyone else on here is a little sensitive child and couldn’t possibly understand the point you are trying to make?

We worry about 1C on this forum all the time. 34F vs 32F.

15z HRRR looking good for a finish. (Again, lower ratios by up to half of this).

Ahhh! The famous Tamarack Stake! Nice.

Last evening there was a meso-band on radar arcing right through C.VT... Killington area and just north of there. Heading up towards your area. Can see it on the reports pretty well with 8-12" overnight in that zone.

Can see the swath on CoCoRAHS of snowfall ending at 7am. Probably moving a bit south of there today? But that's generally the modeled axis in this storm.

The best way is to just know and understand the snow maps aren't to be taken literally, but to show the area where the model thinks that amount of water might fall as snow. Use your own ratios to figure out up or down from there. The other way would be to just use the p-type accumulation maps... ie model thinks 0.50-0.75" will be snow.

4” at home and 5” at the mountain. Just caked on everything. What a scene from past two events.

Tues to Thur looking widespread?

Started snowing earlier, I think the real WAA burst is over up here. Snow growth is good, but S.VT/S.NH and adjacent Berks & ORH hills look to get some solid QPF as the anomalously moist and mild air (Pacific origin?) runs into the boundary zone. The cold from the north just barely turns the region snowy. It is a very warm month, usually frigid. This year is just persistent marginal temperatures.

Bucket list for sure. Skiing in an absolutely buried Sierra, with views of Lake Tahoe.

The driveway. 1.5"

Ahh gotcha! I thought you meant what was allowed to ride on through here. Sometimes the weekend crowd can get curious of different paths on a sled, ha. Yeah they "groom" these spots almost daily in the winter, leads to a good packed down surface. The spots with conifers are the worst, much of the snow up in the trees and not on the ground.

They can access it around there legally. There's a path to get to the Alpine Mart/Mobil for gas. They just can't travel on the Rec Path except for that stretch. It is signed and I've never seen anything but super considerate behavior from any snowmobilers when encountering them with the dog.
