We did have a good storm in there but no where near the Whites, SVT, and Catskills. I remember snow front end then a bunch of rain everywhere but the summits up here? The stake did well. But at least locally the storm wasn’t enjoyed as much due to 12-18” followed by inches of rain mucking it up.

That's how it works. Remember 2010 down in the mid-Atlantic? If it's epic down south, it's usually not up here. Wasn't that good of a year up north. Had to wait until late in the season to get our licks. But lo and behold the largest event of the season came on April 27-28. Snow cover lasted to May 1st. I think even BTV had 5.5" in the Banana Valley... a couple days before May. One of my favorite events, coming at the end of the season once again. Can see the trees leafing out too.

Looks to be more cold air to work with north of the frontal boundary in the next event... and definitely behind the system. Some legit CAA at all levels. GFS continues to keep -6C at 850 as the coldest and -3C to -4C at 925F when the precip swings through. Then has a nice blast of cold air on the backside upslope flow. Nothing like -10C to BOS-BDL during the last week of April.

It's how places get a high seasonal snowfall average... winter's like this will chip away at the deficits before they finally end. It's hard to get totally shut out... at some point it was going to snow. Just like getting big October or November snows. Like November 2018 was huge... snowier than months later that winter. Winter chances run October to May, this ain't the mid-Atlantic anymore where if it doesn't happen in the heart of winter it's over, ha.

That's a wrap on the ski season at Stowe. This was 4pm right before last chair. Staff lining up cheering and fist bumping everyone on their final laps of the year. I was just rolling through making sure to get every single one a fist bump. Tons of hoots and hollers, like one giant party. d The Stowe closing day vibe is always awesome (as are most ski areas). The parking lot was one giant party. Dogs running around, grills going, beers flowing. Good stuff.

Because that’s when it snows in Philly, NYC and SNE. We snow October/November and April/May .

lol for Tue/Wed.

Haha yes this definitely fit. They are always coming at some point in the spring.

I've missed this wintry view. Like an October snowstorm (minus any foliage) when it goes from basically completely snowless to bright white.

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.

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.

But can you take your pants off, that’s the real question?

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.

Miserable for sure. Upper 30s in the village with drizzle and light rain.

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.

Dendy and Gene had a fun evening in that one... was it thunder snow for them?

8.5” was the 3000ft measurement today after about an inch of rain yesterday . If only she was a bit colder.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
