    BTV is 55/52… now that’s how you torch if you aren’t going to CAD. Dews in the 50s lol, open the windows there in the Champlain Valley. As I just posted in NNE thread, we found the ugly middle zone and MVL rotted at 38-40F all day long. Upper 30s and rain… I’d rather it just torch to 55F like BTV or dam it in and be 32F like Dendy/Dryslot. The middle ground between those is just a miserable day.

    I love the variations around NNE… such a wide variety of weather here. Personally looking at the local MVL obs it’s about as ugly as it gets. 38s, 39s and 40F all day. If we are going to warm up, I’d love to torch and be like 50F… or dam it in and stay 32F. Rotting at 38-40F for 12 hours is the ugly middle ground between torch and CAD .

    Haha I had 47F on my car leaving the office and 44F at home. Just plow piles and a random smattering of like “footprint” snow left where we walked in the yard. That 3” this morning when I left this morning is gone.

    Yup, we all go through it. Moving from that mentality that it should snow at some point vs the more anxiety style where I grew up near ALB. You just start to have this appreciation that it will snow at some point. You always want that huge monster record winter but then again are just fine with snow on the ground most of the winter. I think just NNE in general mellows you out too… from the hustle and bustle. Tippy might be able to add some psychological insight .

    This is a snow pocket up here at the ski area for sure. And I always laugh when folks talk about local differences… hard pressed to find a town border with more variations within the boundary than Stowe IMO. At 3pm I could see the fields in town looked pretty bare, but the Edison Hill and Robinson Springs area of million dollar homes still had healthy cover it looked like. Area in background of this photo.

    So far “pack” building isn’t really even a word to describe it, but it has felt like snow cover has been on the ground most of the time. We’ve been lucky with refreshes fast after the melts… but this one looks different. Might ride bare ground for a bit. The other times it seemed like 2-4” would land within 24 hours of melting out to at least make it white again.

    Probably more than me, I’d imagine the village got smoked today here. CAD getting it done in your area. 1500ft still seemed like half a foot around here as of an hour or two ago.

    Man that tornado stuff is so tragic. The power and destruction is hard to fathom. On a lighter note, I like this CHP graphic showing snowfall accumulations in the Sierra. Cool way to show it.

    Temp came up real fast here too. 25F at 4am at MVL… then 34F rain by 7-8am.

    You know summer Santa?

    2015 shows how any worry is unwarranted until like February .

    Back before liability insurance rates crushed all of them. When they just had to cover property taxes, some maintenance and property insurance rates.

    About a half inch and light snow with the warm front lifting through. 18F.

    This little event turned out pretty well for the ski area. 6-7" of fluff at the office. Probably .20" QPF. Stuff will vaporize in this warm up.

    I lost it January 2014 when we had something like more inches of rain than inches of snow and there was a frozen lake in my yard… while Philly ripped off like their 5th Winter Storm Warning, ha. “Leon” winter. Cutter, arctic air, no upslope, then Philly snowstorm… cutter, arctic air, no upslope, Philly snowstorm… repeat. Mother Nature didn’t reward me for my melt dammit!

    Every time we start really getting natural stuff in play (we opened some natural snow trails today that’ll be closed by Sat AM), it rains again. Like someone said up thread, sounds like eastern skiing .

    That will go down in infamy. Right after losing it over sledding in 2” on top of mud, it snowed 100” in 3 weeks.
  18. powderfreak
    Added another 2” today at 1500ft. Storm total between 6-7” of total fluff. Tire tracks are storm total. Looks like 1/2” today at home. 4” depth. All of it fluff, it’ll disappear fast on Saturday ha.

    That’s insane.

    It’s still snowing pretty hard at the mountain. Just total fluff.

    Good stuff out there this morning on Mansfield!
  22. powderfreak
    Town looks absolutely beautiful. Just ripping big fluffy flakes. I had another 2.25" overnight. Total of 4" in two 12 hour periods but more like 3.5" on the ground with settling. Standing wave right down Mountain Road with the steadiest snow in the village rather than the mountain oddly enough. Pretty cool when we get these standing waves off Mansfield's Chin. Just fluffing straight down in town. Drive up the road was beautiful with fluff on every little twig it seemed like.
  23. powderfreak
    The NW flow fluffed us up last night. Looked beautiful driving through town. Event total of ~4" after 2.25" of absolute dust overnight.
  24. powderfreak
    This new stuff will evaporate quickly when it warms up, but I will say there’s been at least some snow cover for many of us the past couple weeks. The sales team at Snow.Inc has had auto-replenish set to on with several light events that keep the ground white.

    Nice man, that stoke is the winter vibe this time of year.
