We came in with ~2" at the Lookout snow cam... similar elevation to the Sugarbush 2". Looking at photos from others it seemed a bit deeper on the Gondola side of the hill, maybe 3-4". But 2" will be the number into the seasonal snow tally, with 9" so far in November. https://player.timecam.tv/express/index.html?C=D786BEJG4F5A

J.Spin jackpot on the 6z EURO for the upslope event Monday evening. 12z GFS also decent signal.

You wonder if the upslope signal coming up is legit. 00z GFS Day 2-3 precipitation.

Shrewsbury, VT between Killington and Okemo. The ULL and deepest lift occurred on a trajectory from S/C VT northeast through the Whites.

I'm intrigued by that event for sure. There will be some elevation dependent WAA snow/rain ahead of the upper level low.... a dusting to maybe 1-2" with a brief period of snow at 1-1.5kft+. Then the backside WNW cyclonic flow with CAA/cold air advection... some spots (re: ski areas) could see 3-6" IMO on the return flow.

lol chicks dig someone who has a passion. And someone who will run out to get take-out from the popular Matterhorn Bar… it just happens to be located the closest to the base area, ha. Right hand turn out of the drive, and cruise a couple songs up the road to the promised land.

Quick hitter. 9pm and moving out of this area. The race was always between the cold air and the drier air moving in. A good "spring training" type event for NNE to dust off some of the cold season synoptic knowledge.

Awesome site. 0.5 mile visibility and the road surface just went to "ice" from "wet" ha. Good details.

The gradient moving through your area now! Ranging from 32F at Bretton Woods to Jefferson, and still 40F in Gorham/Berlin valley. Looks like it just pushed through Randolph.

Had to take the weenie drive up the road. Mixed rain/snow in the 700-1,000ft range, all snow by 1,200ft and then coating of white above 1,400ft.

Classic "hammer time" pattern of the warm conveyor belt making the hammer handle and the cold conveyor belt making the head of the hammer.

1500ft was snowing pretty good but accumulations were slow and only a white coating. Overall the event seemed to go about as planned, ending white at 1,500ft with the best snows above 2,500ft.

Just noticed it’s wet snow now down at 750ft. Far too wet to accumulate but it’s flakes. So about 90 minutes to go from a snow level at 1500ft to the valley floor.

@cpickett79has been seeing snow at 1500ft since about 6pm he said it flipped up there. I might need to take a ride up after grabbing some food from the Matterhorn.

PWS network showing some temps around freezing now along the Spine on either side. As expected that west slope of Mansfield is the coldest with the upslope cooling going on with westerly flow.

Good scene at the top of Sugarbush…

Nice man! 37F here and still rain here. But I never thought we’d see anything down here in the village with this round.

BTV bright banding would suggest snow levels in the 1000-2000ft range right now.

Mount Snow to Killington looks like the jackpots so far. The core of the ULL went right over the southern Greens, makes sense.

Just looking at the models… 0 precip falls from 8-9pm. It’s now to 7pm or so for us.

Non-accumulating wet snow at 3,600ft. Still seeing mid-30s up here.

I’m not sure, going to need to happen quick in about 3-4 hours of work. I’m leaning more 3-5” summits and 0-2” below 2,000ft. 925mb temps stay 0C or 1C. Though I think 1500ft ends with the ground white. I just don’t think the QPF will be there for 5-6”+.

Hoping some of this at elevation is snow... a solid shot of moisture over the next 3-4 days.

The 18z Euro had a healthy 6-hour burst along the Green Mountains tomorrow evening. The vort max and best upper level support goes from C.VT to N.NH and W.ME. That to me is the path that may see lower snow levels.

I grew up night skiing too. It’s a big part of my childhood skiing experiences. Memories from turning under the lights and riding the chairlift in the dark still dominate from that time in life. Stowe used to do night skiing off the Gondola when I was in college. It was always empty and cold, but there’s a different feel on the mountain in the evening. Stopped offering it due to lack of participation, among other reasons. Folks on ski vacations like to ski during the day; they are tired at night or want to go out to dinner/socialize. Bolton Valley still offers night skiing and is only 25 min from the Burlington area. That market keeps the night light dream alive.
