What a game! This is insane! American Football at its finest this weekend.

Upstate NY represent!

Well said… the less data and the lower the resolution, the more error downstream in time seems perfectly logical.

I love your evergreen and snow fetish... I'm right there with you. Young evergreen varieties with snow on them is such an aesthetically pleasing winter look.

Yeah that's quite common. Snowmaking trapped under the inversion. Here's a buddy's (Mike Hitelman photography) drone shot the other day of snowmaking moisture trapped under the inversion. All of this is 100% snowmaking pumping moisture into the air and it not being able to break the mixing layer. You can see the snowmaking going on above the inversion too. But every gun pumping moisture below that is just filling the lower elevations with high RH condensing air.

Up over a half inch! Lol, nice mood snows heading out to dinner.

That was wild! What a couple catches by Kupp.

Yup, 0.3” at home.

It’s pure moose fart. I bet I got a dusting down at home or something.

That fluffer just hit the mountain pretty hard! It's total fluffy but looks great. A solid 3" at the Lookout Snow Plot and 4" at the High Road plot off the Gondola. Nice 3-4 inch afternoon on the hill!

Quick fluffy inch on the hill.

Start there. Can always go higher if need be.

Just started snowing steadier here. Probably around 1 mile visibility type stuff.

We had a period of light snow earlier and now flurries. The Lake Ontario streamer was just north of this area… someone north of BTV may have grabbed a fluffy 2-3” in that persistent fluffer. Now looks like into BTV but starting to extend east. Weirdly it’s looked to be the valley the past 3 hours. Maybe some northerly surface convergence just north of the boundary and Champlain Valley does good convergence funneling between the mtns.

12z GFS also sort of pops a bit of coastal reflection and would hit our Maine crowd with a bit more steady snowfall.

Maybe seeing it be 970mb over SYR would be better at this time frame?

Touche! lol. Lets see if we can get some light snows out of the clipper. The 3km NAM really tries to blow it up over @dryslot a bit.

4F and 30 degrees warmer than yesterday morning. 30 degrees is pretty nuts for a 24 hour change. Like a min of 40F one night and then a min of 70F the next night.

I never got the competition aspect of it, but I also have a fetish for meso-scale over absolute values. Some definitely take a "mine is longer than theirs's" perspective of weather, . Even with temperatures. It's all good and having an appreciation for local climate... whether that's in SNE coastal plain, or deep Hudson Valley/Champlain Valley, mountains, elevations, hollows, etc. No one can touch the differences in NNE, no one. From one street to another and it is scientifically awesome. Weather lovers just truly appreciate the different variances. It's mind blowing to me, how localized and fluid the atmosphere is. Even from one street to the next. With that said, my waking hours are spent in an extremely snowy location which will be wintry into May, while the sleeping night time is a few miles away in a more moderate climate but with high diurnal ranges. Love the differences in my day.

Same here. Eyewall always showed the winter scenes in great representation. Looks snowier down there than in his first winter up in BTV. Keep the stoke coming.

It's definitely going up the Hudson Valley now. All joking aside, nice post dude.

Largest storm ever. Passing a bit off shore. Meteorological awe. Nothing fake about it, except it wasn’t experienced by anyone.

Looks like Stowe restaurant prices for the past decade at least, haha.

It's hard to get that far below normal at BTV these days. That's pretty impressive. Seems like a pretty good gradient from N to S.

Absolutely... I joke too and know Scooter and Will are as well. No matter how I come across, I'm very rarely if at all serious. Its a love of weather extremes.
