  1. Haha yes this definitely fit. They are always coming at some point in the spring.
  2. I've missed this wintry view. Like an October snowstorm (minus any foliage) when it goes from basically completely snowless to bright white.
  3. Your area got the jackpot, I was seeing shots of measurements on Pico from skinners of like 16-18” even after compaction. Seems like JSpin found that today too.
  4. Lol the number of zoom f*ck ups on the internet are hilarious. Have of them must be staged, people can’t be that dumb... actually maybe they can.
  5. But can you take your pants off, that’s the real question?
  6. 1500ft over this way is almost gone, granted it was only 4” but sun starting to poke through. Above 2kft still caked. No cold air advection anywhere so once precip stops it wants to get mild fast. Ahh spring time. Can tell its was dry as the rivers still don’t look like 1.64” water just fell in town. Interesting that 1.5-2.0” QPF did not bring much response in water flow.
  7. Miserable for sure. Upper 30s in the village with drizzle and light rain.
  8. Good event. The snowfall definitely improved at a lower snow level as one moved south and east of up here. 1.0-1.5" snowfall at the height of accumulation based on wife's observations at 750ft. Was only a half inch of slope on the board when I got home at 4pm, melting all day after the morning burst. Sloppy white. 12" snow depth increase at the Mount Mansfield Stake. Strong elevational gradient. Drought concerns are minimized with a heavy QPF event.
  9. Dendy and Gene had a fun evening in that one... was it thunder snow for them?
  10. 8.5” was the 3000ft measurement today after about an inch of rain yesterday . If only she was a bit colder.
  11. Well only a half inch wet coating down here in the lowlands at 750ft. But talk about a sharp snow gradient. This stuff is wild.
  12. I could see if it was only Union or your hill... isolated. But it seems like most of those two counties between you and Ginxy. My dad sent a shot from their summer golf course in Thompson, CT and it looks like 4-6" on the course. No idea elevation, but seeing enough reports from those two counties that it's odd.
  13. Apologize if this has been discussed.... but how is there no BOX headlines in NE CT from Ginxy to Kev? Or in a few other places around there? Seeing photos of like 4-8" of heavy wet snow in so many spots... not even a SPS.
  14. Yeah 5F lower could've gotten yesterday's precip to fall as all snow, plus today. Would've been a monster snowstorm for pretty much all if yesterday morning we had 0C at 850mb.
  15. I won't lie, I'm very jealous you are in Florida. Fun event back here but not as much as over that way into NH/ME mtns (or apparently Rhode Island). I'd go beach right now . We've been stuck around like 3" for a while at 1,500ft back this way... snowing steadily but just at like the same intensity as the melting from the wet ground or melting from above. Like watching it snow for the last 3 hours to maintain the depth. Above 2,000ft in this area is where it really ramps up to 6"+ as we didn't have the precip rates. MVL ASOS has been snowing between 0.5 mile and 1.0 mile but at 34F I bet it's not more than a sloppy coating at my house. Radar showing a decent band approaching so maybe we can start to outpace the melt again at 1,500ft.
  16. Is that the temperature of the ice in your margarita on a Florida beach? We've risen a few tenths above freezing now too at 1,500ft. Solar gain is still happening despite the clouds and snow. No real CAA from anywhere, probably dips a bit with sundown in like 7 hours.
  17. I remember an event like a decade ago I worked at Topnotch Resort for a second job, one night they were pouring rain at 1,000ft but 3 miles away at 750ft there was 4" and dumping snow. The only thing I could think of is the wind flow was off a ridge up at like 1800ft behind the hotel where as the village was in a straight shot up valley. Like a small eddy of slightly warmer air from a 700 foot terrain drop had it raining at a higher elevation than plowable snow a few miles away. In this event... we are up to 6-7" above 3,000ft.
  18. You get a downslope flow off even a minor hill? Some sort of compressional warming that is very slight but enough to alter a half a degree Celsius or something?
  19. Looks like a crush job for you guys.
  20. Good to have one last snowy day.
