Still definitely can. Just need some squall or snow shower to pop up or more through. Can whiten up the grass and mulch beds for a decent SHSN.

18z Euro is a bit less amped at the end of the run. Might start as a brief period of snow in “interior” SNE? Looks like Pike north best shot based on 925mb as precip moves in.

Holy shit.

Dog got a roll in one of the remaining Stowe “piles”… about 8” of water logged frozen matter masquerading as snow, each one occupying about the floor space of a two-car garage . It’s sort of a bizarre scene if you didn’t know about snowmaking. Just these equally spaced small areas of snow dotting their way down the trail and surrounded by grass.

It’s a start. Wednesday Snow and rain likely. Highs in the upper 30s. Chance of precipitation 60 percent. Wednesday Night Snow likely. Lows in the mid 20s. Chance of snow 60 percent.

Might be less marginal for CNE to NNE. Definitely a chance for first widespread snow of the season.

Could get some elevation snows going tomorrow afternoon/evening?

I’m en route with the dog lol. There we’re a few patches I could see on North Slope but effectively nothing. The other night’s strategic objective was stress test and training (had a crew of 15 out there, ha)… look for problems to fix in this warmth. But system handled 75+ guns fine and new guys got some good knowledge. They are ready to go tomorrow night. Snowmaking is very well staffed after last years’ issues. That made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

I like 1-3" into Monday morning for the hills. More like 2-4" over by Alex and Phin.

Mount Mansfield set record high of 59F at 2am in the morning. That's wild, ha. Near 60F overnight at the picnic tables on 11/12.

It was pretty incredible to see it be mid 50s last evening... and then RISE overnight... in mid-November in NVT. 6am was 64/63 at MVL... that's warmer than half the 6am temps this past summer. It would feel ridiculously anomalous except for the low 70s last week at 6am . It's bonkers.

1.74” here. Drizzle for now.

Fake warmth.

1.74” rainfall.

57/55 in RN/+RN heading into mid-November is a warm night up here. Dews in the mid-50s at this time of year is noteworthy. However it’s a step down from multiple evenings in the 70s… so it feels like a natural progression despite being so far above normal.

My parents are there too right now…. same exact spot. They sent this photo a couple days ago while driving around the area.

Ha that works. Definitely don’t remember that one. Probably from still being in BTV and not Stowe. There was a good looking 4-week period mid Feb to mid March.

It’s that time of year. It’s the tug between climo and desires. Like “above normal” in late April turns some folks thinking an official heatwave is coming.

Interesting on 2005. The Stake dropped to 40” in early February that winter. It wasn’t a bad winter, just about average, but compared to what happened down in SNE it was suppression with 100” seasonal totals for places that average 30-40”. Relatively speaking it was a suppression type season for the anomalies IMO…. But there was a good 4-week run in mid-Feb to mid-March.

I’m with you… the Weather Channel forecast maps back in the day were the holy grail. Seeing that 12”+ color was as invigorating as anything lol. Then wait for the Local on the 8’s to see the huge snowflake with his little buddy and just the word “Snow” under it. Like a drug in middle school back then… just wait another 10 minutes to get the next hit when the Local on the 8’s starts up again.

That event was a monster up north too. It was my first year at UVM, and BTV picked up like 55” that month of December, with 100”+ at the ski area summits. December 5-6, then 14-15 were both widespread 18-24”+. Then there was another one right before Christmas with double digit thunder snow paste job. I assumed that was just how it was up there, ha. My first winter month in N.VT and the atmosphere was just taking dumps on us. How naive I was, ha. Then in later years like 2004-05 I found out what suppression was . Here was the 12/14-15/03 event.

Need to take advantage of it at 200 hours out before TauntonBlizz debbie’s a suppression jackpot. But maybe all those inches received from b*tching only applied to rain during Stein.

That’s some Dec 2003… 18”+ in BTV and Weymouth. Just everyone seems to win.

Yeah it’s still early. Climo average highs are still decently up there for under 1500ft.

Just for fun
