    Yeah I just looked at a topo… Heath is almost all above 1200ft, a lot above 1600ft and some folks at 1800ft. Thats some solid elevation.

    Just busting your balls.

    I know you are sort of joking but that event was pretty damn widespread that just went through. Add in ME and down into NY/PA, it wasn’t just Mooseknuckle Creek snowfall.

    Yeah I never know why this is much of a discussion. They are two separate things. One is the amount of snow that falls from the sky, the other is the amount of snow on the ground. It would be like measuring rainfall via run-off.

    Into the upslope persistent snows now. Fluffy and wind blown.

    Saw this from Wildcat. Those are some serious stacks on the chairlift. Feet.

    I love my fluff but this was a rare blue bomb. Literally the snowbanks tinted light blue type of stuff. Plow piles retain their curved shape when the plow leaves it behind, ha.

    13” depth of just blue snow. Trees already starting to shed. It feels warm out. Some of the heaviest 12”< snow I can remember here in the valley.

    Yeah this will satisfy NNE for a bit. No complaints with 12+ of absolute cake. Turned into a true slow moving QPF bomb.
  11. powderfreak
    13.5” total. Looks to be tapering off.
  12. powderfreak
    Still snowing.

    A lot of heavy wet snow. Eyeballing has to be near 10” now. Power flickering. Power went out at the mountain, back on but no network/internet. The evergreen branches are going straight down to the ground.

    Not a huge event snowfall wise locally but it does get into Winter Storm Warning criteria here. We’ll see what the 12am-6am period brings. High QPF snows lead to a larger impact for sure than warning amount fluffy snow.

    Up at Mansfield I can say that the snow plots recorded 5-6" of snowfall and I found 6" of wet, dense snow at home right after checking the 1,500ft plot. It skied much deeper but this sounds very similar to my experience at Stowe. With the wind and snowfall, one could make the case for a wide range of snowfall over the crusty base layer. But the plots showed 5-6". At home there actually was more accumulation for whatever reason, even given the lower elevation. It was very odd to be honest.

    Tim’s awesome. Great vibe and energy. Someone you enjoy hanging out with because he “gets it” and loves skiing and snow equally.

    All I can think about is strong NAO block maybe isn't as bad as suppression depression? All those years Will was laughing about -NAO and slow moving interior and NNE snowstorms while the rest of us worry about 2010 . We barely made it without rain in this one. In fact it's been ripping snow and while holding at 32-34F now since 12pm. Lower ratio. MVL has been above freezing for 9 hours now in this wet paste. Guess block doesn't equal cold suppression all the time?

    Such a slow mover if models are still pinging these 6-hourlies from 3-10am tomorrow.

    I can't believe the QPF, there's no way IMO? I'll eat a hat if we get near another half inch of QPF after midnight. The HRRR and NAM keep the party going.

    Wife and I just went to Sushi Yoshi here in town. Coming out and walking the Rec Path home in a snowstorm was awesome. This is what winter is all about. Good food, good drink, a quiet walk through the field and woods with evergreens and hardwoods alike bending under the high QPF snow. We don't get a lot of heavy wet caking snows here but this one is about as picturesque as it gets even if it's only 7" or so far.

    It's wild how slow it's moving. Going to be some big totals central/southern VT to NH and ME.

    Skiing was fun today. Quiet turns finally.
  23. powderfreak
    I love Tim, ski with him, but lol I give him crap for going ballz in every time. Adding another one to the list to rib him over.
  24. powderfreak
    Yeah you have a sneaky good big storm zone. Also get the upslope and lake streamers that fire up into Bennington County from the west. A good precip zone on the whole, that’s a “wet” area.
  25. powderfreak
    6” at home. Winter wonderland. Hopefully grab another few overnight. Models had 10” for MVL on average, might make it. Lotta water in this.
