    It's so true. These are the best snows. These cycles always make me dislike the big hyped up storms even more. It's been special.

    Can't get any more NNE than that. Sub-zero with wind chills to -40F, then temps of 45-50F with rain, then back cold again with snow chances. High winds are certain when those type of environmental changes are occurring. Get a lot of wind with the warm front and a lot of wind with the cold front.

    6.5" at the mountain from this event.

    It is still dumping up here. Trails appeared to have 6-8” on them. The High Road snowboard should have a good stack. That’s a full on powder day out there. The anticipation of the chair opening was high today.

    2.5" at home and a healthy 4" if not a tad more now at 1,500ft. At least 5" up higher but I bet the 3,000ft plot pulls a half a foot.

    4-5” up here at the office overnight. Still snowing hard. Classic cycle up here where each little system just wants to snow. Went from mud after the double rainers back to a couple feet of fresh powder over the past week. The clipper parade came through.

    Duffville this morning. Only 2.5” at home (still snowing) when I left but a healthy 4-5” at the ski area. Mountain is stuffed with pow after this week.

    The mountain is duffed out. The fake snow adds up and leads to fantastic skiing. Today was high-end fun after yet another solid performer from Ma Nature. It's short lived this year, but fun to see the Mansfield magic finally come through after a number of imposter systems this season. The Alberta Clipper parade can be a good pattern in these parts it lines up.

    What a great stretch. I try to make a graphic for as many snowfalls as possible for the record. This system brought ~7" to the mountain (2/3rds of the way up). Over two feet there in the past 7 days. Yesterday and last night are the real bread and butter events.

    5-6” in the RT 108 axis.

    Ha! We see everything fun around here walking the dog.

    Been enjoying this event for the past few hours. Over 4" so far and most of it has fallen the past few hours as people eat dinner around town. Love the surprised vibe of folks exiting restaurants to a winter scene.

    The sky is just fluffing. They don't even fall that fast. It's classic meso-scale snow. Stat padder for sure, but just makes for a nice, snowy evening in a ski town. Went out to the Backyard for a beer and the vibe is happy for the snow. Trying not to think of the weekend cutter, ha.

    4” now in the driveway and on the car that sat all day. Continuing about 1” between 7:30-8:30.

    Just over 3" now in the Village on the front of my SUV. About 1"/hr snowfall rate past two hours. Snowy appeal.

    That fits with our 2” reading at 4:10pm at the High Road plot. I saw there’s a big snowmobile convention or gathering happening in the Notch this week… you involved in that?

    It's definitely been Spine eastward today... it's almost like a bit blocked on the east side with subtle S/SSE flow at the surface and strong westerly winds aloft blowing it downstream. Turn that surface wind barb around 180 degrees to NNW and the snow band would shift to the other side of the mountains most likely. All the minute details that put snow in different places around here.

    It is snowing hard up and down RT 108/Mountain Road. 2-3" of fluff now. Road conditions went bad real fast with the 30-35dbz ripples.
  19. powderfreak
    Ah for sure, no deep tropical stream. No joke, it is a type of season when just hitting 50F is a win without 1-2” of rainfall. Most NNE snowpack is low water content so it won’t put up a fight like a pack of 4-6” of water.
  20. powderfreak
    Hopefully it mutes itself, but would need a heck of a front ender of wintry precip to not lose in that warm sector. It looks pretty par for the course this winter.
  21. powderfreak
    You think so? I didn’t get that decent vibe. Looked more like run if the mill -SN/-IP, freezing rain/drizzle then mild showers. Strong south flow rips through the warm sector for about 12 hours. 925mb torches hard when that flow goes south.
  22. powderfreak
    Definitely snowing much harder. 1”/hr type rate but probably short lived. METAR KMVL 012135Z AUTO 17005KT 1/2SM SN FZFG VV015 M05/M07 A2989 RMK P0001

    Most of the lift has been Downstream of the Spine… it was actually pretty snowy in Morrisville running errands. Just started filling back in at Stowe. About an inch so far. Mountain High Road plot in with 2” at 4pm. I bet Jay Peak got hit hard today. Definitely the jackpot on SW standing wave flow. This up and down wave over Dacks and down CPV then up again in Greens likes to put snow in the NEK.

    Awesome shots J.
