BTV climate piece sums up winter: && .CLIMATE... The meteorological winter (December to February) has come to a close. Preliminary average temperature data indicates it was the 3rd warmest winter on record in Burlington with a value of 29.0 degrees, behind the 2016-2017 and 2015-2016 seasons. Snowfall was 46.9"; among the last 20 seasons, this is the 4th lowest total, inching ahead of 2005-2006, and well ahead of 2015-2016 and 2011-2012. &&

Doesn’t look like the GFS snow map. Seems like the southern end is snowier though down to the Pike. -
Sort of nickel and diming but 40% of seasonal snowfall looks to have come in just two events. 12/16-17 and 2/23. Some decent events mixed in.
-
Given snowfall totals to date, it must be tough to bust low on most events this winter. That’s tough to do.
-
Yeah for sure... but I'm not greedy, just put me in a situation to get a nice Advisory snow of 6" or so and folks down south can have 12-18" or whatever. Just like to be invited to the party, ha ha.
-
These types of weeks are how I love my skiing. No Winter Storm Warnings, no hype, no powder frenzy, just daily snows that add up over time.
-
Montreal forecast ranges from 15” to Partly Sunny.
-
Yeah that was a nice correction at the end.
-
Looks considerably north of 12z early on.
-
Without those things this storm tracks over Detroit and it’s dews of 50F to Canada. Those two things are working hard to just get NE in the game.
-
00z ICON shows the potential north of the Pike.
-
Just added it up, within an inch of 80" for the season. J.Spin appears to have cruised past 100". Averages for a season are like 115" and 140" respectfully? It would take a healthy run to get to average, but even a slightly below average total this winter would be a win given the temperature departures.
-
It's a snowy pattern. It wants to snow north of the gradient. Another 5-7" for Mitch to Dendy to the ME crew?
-
Yup, some consensus early on with mixed line down to the Pike, south of the NAM.
-
NAM trying to keep Ray to Tip snow. Looks bad at first then gets shunted east. The block doing it’s thing.
-
Meanwhile in Mammoth Lakes, CA… 600+ inches at the ski resort mountain plots. This shot supposedly from a base area residence.
-
It's still spitting precip over here. We have had a long interesting period of freezing drizzle mixed with mangled flakes and pellets. Must be residual moisture and some weak lift residing outside and below the DGZ, resulting in a light spotty mix. If it was the fluff of the other day, we'd probably be seeing some decent accumulation this evening, ha. Really only a tenth or two here in the last 3 hours of spitting precip... but won't fully shut off either.
-
Ha, Runnaway, you wanted the individuals not the mean. This includes some earlier stuff too, not much but some in northern areas.
-
I got you. Totals from 12z Friday onward. Removes any earlier snow/precip. And the 24 hour trend from yesterday's 18z run to the above image. Definitely a solid tick south in the mean compared to 24 hours ago.
-
It may have snow issues in deep layer easterly flow, but it is definitely NNE in vibe. Borderline boreal forest, narrow evergreens mixed with dotted hardwoods. Cold. Frozen ponds early and late season. The vegetation gives a vibe up in that corner of VT/NH.
-
They are. The worst part of it is nearby is a solid meteorology program (Jim Cantore type alumni and some board members) and those weather weenies are forced to study in a place that can be tough for snow at times. It is a cold climate though, just suffers during the big east wind events. They've had some good deform bands though in the past decade I feel like. Going from Central VT through MPV to 1V4 (Saint Johnsbury). But you know those model progs get the weather students chapped .
-
Wild gradient in there somewhere between like RT 2 and north of CON.
-
68” over you lol. The Met weenies at Lyndon State are losing their minds I’m sure ha.
-
Spicy drive home on I-89 north in VT before sundown. Moderate to heavy snow at times.
-
4.3” surprisingly dense snow at home. Now a mix of light snow and freezing drizzle. Within the last week… 7.5”, 5.5”, 4.3”. Nice stretch.
