Got the rare M1/4 even at the MVL ASOS down in the valley. Best one I've seen in a long time. No hyperbole there. KMVL 272049Z AUTO 32011G28KT M1/4SM +SN FZFG BKN013 BKN033 OVC047 M04/M05 A2968 RMK AO2 PK WND 28028/2041

lol... 7" spot today out of nowhere at 3,000ft.

Here's the squall in action. Visibility was one lift tower. Maybe a couple hundred feet at most. https://www.facebook.com/6902394/videos/480119820184208/

Best squall in many winters. I cannot remember anything like that.

MSS in N.NY went down to the rare M1/4 visibility. METAR KMSS 271820Z AUTO 32015KT M1/4SM +SN FZFG BKN012 OVC035 M04/M06 A2974

That line looks fun. Snowing good now and will be fun to watch this approach.
-
Weird temp. 34F at BTV and 30F at Morrisville-Stowe. Never thought temperature would be an issue?
-
That's surprising, I figured you'd have a couple inches or maybe it's been just north by a few miles. I thought I saw a Lake Effect connection from Ontario earlier today going from SLK to Mansfield, so that might have helped. It got down to -SN or even flurries for a moment but it's roared back snowing with a purpose again.
-
Interesting, just seeing MPV hasn’t had any reduced visibility but MVL has been snowing all day at 1-3 mile visibility.

Some great powder skiing in the lower angle woods that are trustworthy. The trails are pretty horrific. Ungroomed is just blue ice bumps (literally blue) with a bunch of fluff. Found some spots today though with a good 15" of champagne in them from the storm and we've picked up 3-5" so far today. Extremely variable skiing with a very firm subsurface.

It's been snowing all day up here. 3-5" on the hill so far. Total leaf blower fluff. Probably a tenth of an inch of water.
-
Nice snow showers this morning. A couple inches up at 1500ft.

March 2022 Obs/Disc: In Like a Lamb, Out Like a Butterfly

It’s a low snowpack. Before this past snow, the general region’s mountain snowpack was in a top 10 bad place over the last 60-70 years. Now depths are a bit higher but the 20:1 ratio snow settled. It still looks snowy but doesn’t really change anything long term. -
Yup. They seem to be a lot more loyal to Ukraine than Putin makes them out to be. Fiercely loyal. I love seeing the citizens standing up to a world super power any way they can.

That's great. Healthy widespread warning level event. Love those ones. I liked the BTV observations, just a quick shot of good DGZ, low-visibility snow.
-
That’s awesome… in a SWFE, on the coast. What a run. QPF rich too.
-
It’s leaf blower snow after a “denser” 10:1 to begin with, ha. J.Spin’s last 6 hour reading of 6.9” on 0.22” water for a 31:1 ratio was widespread this afternoon… sparkling fluff.
-
7.25” at home and 9.0” at the mountain. Incredibly picturesque snow clinging to every branch and elevated object.
-
7.25” storm total depth here at home. Seems about the normal reduction from 9” at the mountain. No intermediate readings. Absolutely beautiful snow, stacked on every object with zero wind.
-
I remember the first like decade on the forums you would get 14” in every big storm. You literally didn’t believe more than 14” could fall at once there.
-
Dude that’s wild! Man talk about being at the right spot at the right time. Dam burst there.
-
Beautiful snowfall. No wind and stacked up. 9” at the ski area.
-
We saw 2”/hr with that. Up around 7” now.
-
Not ideal measuring location but with no wind I'll take it for now, ha. That table stack...
-
2" in past hour....3" in 2 hours... so a 1.5"/hr rate. Flake size got nice and fluffy so snowfall rate increased a lot from the denser snow this morning.
