it’s the mid-Atlantic viewpoint, scratch and claw for every event. Instead of knowing it’ll snow on top of existing snow, again and again in New England. Hopefully the next couple events bring additional refreshes. Phin dude, you no longer have to wish for snow! With that said, we always hope for a hugger... bring it in close .
-
No rain events in a long time have made such a difference. There’s no ice layer on most natural snow terrain. Snowmaking is inherently wet (spraying water that crystallizes is different moisture content from natural dendrites), and there can still be ice there... but the natural snow terrain has been skiing amazing with each refresh.
-
Still getting some decent production from these lingering bands. They don't look like much but we are getting good growth under the radar beam... the echoes visible on rad are like seeder-feeder when mid-level lift moves through.
-
Never shut that down... going to raise some great ski bums, ha (that's a term of endearment by the way). They'll get addicted to that challenge and feeling of freedom. I know so many who grew up around here (I'm jealous) who went to ski academies and local schools that ski for gym class, and even as adults they ski all the time. It's a active mountain lifestyle. Props man. Your kids are very lucky.

You can home school kids anywhere, for sure. Though I have a good friend in the ski industry over there who lives in a part of North Conway solely for the kids' school. They'd rather live more isolated but I guess North Conway has the best school(s) in the region it sounds like.

I’m going to to be pretty darn close to your total @dryslot once this winds down this evening. Might be near exactly the same amount with a few more tenths, ha.
-
Flow looks real blocked, you should do pretty decent in the CPV. We’ve been getting some under the beam good fluff, almost another inch past 1.25 hours with nothing on radar... has to be 6000ft or lower in the atmosphere. Probably north wind funneling here between Mansfield and the Worcester Range.
-
Yes! I love that. The mushroom caps on like the hedge row out front have the very clear layers visible. It is cool later in the winter to dig a pit and check out the layers.
-
I think it is in the ballpark, I miss some of the lighter stuff and haven’t added the recent system in. Parts of CNE definitely are higher with the big synoptic storms. Think about it, I can snow all the time but it takes 5 different 3” events to get 18” that you got in like 12 hours lol. I had like a dozen snow events with snow on the ground non-stop for two months and then Dendrite made that up in like 10 hours, ha.
-
I bet he comes in with like 18” on big water. You’ve certainly hit the spot that I talk about where the view never really changes no matter how much snow falls. It’s just white. Your web cam today looked similar to how it did before hand, lol. Just a white blanket... 2” or 15”, hard to tell the difference, ha ha.
-
You nearing like 24” by now? Ha, crushed.
-
Confirmed 6.5”. Haven’t cleared board yet but decided to break it up so I can see the 12-hr total at 5:30am tomorrow. Awesome refresh to the landscape. All we ask for.
-
That NWS met now has 11.4” Storm total in Milton and only 1” last hour lol. I think we are around 6.5” here in Stowe Village. Steady snow still going.
-
Starting to crank back this way. A NWS MET just text me 2.9” in 1-hour in Milton just north of BTV.
-
Is that all snow or is there some graupel/ice or something mixed in those heavier echoes? Also isn’t that Tamarack’s hood? He’s had a rougher winter than most, hope he’s getting smoked.
-
Great storm dude, nice! Accelerated up past my snow depth of 15” in about 12 hours lol.
-
Snowy day dog walk from around 12pm when the snow started back up.
-
Yeah hard to say how it works out but that ME/NH moisture is working it’s way in. Visibility in town has come way down past hour with good snow growth. I can’t imagine what the NH/ME crew is getting right now. Just awesome.
-
Yeah it’s going due west with radar echoes, ha. Rare back here.
-
That wave of moisture coming ashore in Maine is nuts.
-
Send it! Firehose into you and now just north of here. Just north of here by like 5-10 miles has been getting crushed. Eden seeing 1-2”/hr.
-
You and Phin look to be getting crushed for the next several hours. Good feed into your areas on radar.
-
Around 4” at home so far, mountain though seems to only be at 3”. Looks nice outside though, love a refresh. Models back some of that precip in this afternoon so I think we can get 6”+ at home.
-
That’s awesome.
-
The secondary, but main, low pressure is maxing out... a large area is just getting smoked.
