Strong signal right there for sure Ginxy.

Nice dude. Grass blades completely covered makes a big difference in wintry appeal. Objective met, ha.

ALB with 2” in 2 hours. +SN. Theres still stuff out west for ya’ll. KALB 262107Z 04003KT 1/4SM R01/2200V2600FT +SN FZFG VV008 M06/M06 A2993 RMK AO2 P0003 T10611061

That’s not a problem because you are comparing snowfall and snow depth. Two different things. 6-inches of snow fell. Your depth at observation time is 1”.

I think of it more as snowfall vs snow depth. For snowfall you are trying to get a measurement of flakes falling from the sky, whereas depth is what lays on the ground. You are looking for 24 hour depth. You can certainly have more snowfall than depth even in 24 hour blocks.

I’m with you two. There has to be a designated time frame and 6-hourlies is what airports did growing up for me. I think of that as the official way to measure snow. Or at least twice a day.

How do you know how he measured it? I always here about how the official measurements at the airports down there are a bit low. Plus 4” of difference in a nor’easter isn’t that much when you are in that 18-24” zone.

An interesting take... I have generally had a much better outlook on this winter at home vs. on the mountain overall. The overall tenor of the season has been lacking at high elevation. Under 1,500-2,000ft has seemed to do better relative to average. Snow on the ground (grass covered) consistency has seemed high this season regardless. Depth hasn't been there except recently... but consistency of snow is worth something. Despite a decent snowpack gain after settling, the local Mansfield stake has been running a decent snow depth day deficit. Say that three times fast, ha. Even after a good cycle/week, the snowpack is still decently below average on the long term site.

That sounds like a cold front.

Yeah seems odd to have Hartford County as an Advisory... can’t really find a model that has it tipping the scale there more so than other spots. Not that it matters, just seems like an interesting choice. I’m sure Ryan enjoys explaining why HFD and not Tolland County is highlighted, ha.

This should be enough to get a NWS met banned, ha ha. A little surprised the advisories didn’t extend eastward in SNE to be honest. “Issued the Winter Weather Advisory where am most confident in totals falling in the 2-4 inch territory. Luckily for this event it still does not appear that the snow growth region coincides with the best omega.”

Ha who cares. “He knows mine is big too but never says it. Why doesn’t he say it? I need it said.”

That deserves a .

This is a good headline... Pair airlifted off Mt. Lafayette after one loses sneakers, runs barefoot in deep snow By Paul Feely New Hampshire Union Leader Jan 24, 2021 Updated 19 hrs ago https://www.unionleader.com/news/safety/pair-airlifted-off-mt-lafayette-after-one-loses-sneakers-runs-barefoot-in-deep-snow/article_1a793a64-5d9f-5505-82a5-538257b9bbbc.html

Yup for sure. It’s the blocked SE flow at 925mb under mid-level banding where Washington County is. Shocker, JSpin does real well with this look but we usually do pretty good in Stowe too.

12z NAM has many hours of snow... going to be some weird banding but several models have liked MPV to J.Spin and maybe up to here. It almost has a standing wave look instead of banding, so maybe there’s some weird terrain stuff going on. That pattern looks like mid-level banding with a blocked SE low level flow.

Car said -6F leaving my house this morning. Finally felt really cold...that nostril freezing cold as soon as you step outside. Looks like MVL hit -8F for the min. Crazy that’s only like 10F below normal and it feels like the face of the moon. Too used to walking outside to like 18-24F every morning.

I think the fact that he switched teams, and then took THEM to the super bowl, cements his legacy without a doubt. At his age too. Doesn’t matter who he plays for, they are going to the Super Bowl.

Had a decent sunset this evening.

There’s some sort of force field there.

Just because they do, doesn’t mean you have to look at them .

Ha, I saw this panel and was thinkin' about your trials and tribulations.

Ha yes! Perfect. I just picture walking outside with the dog at 5am and find that dude sitting in my yard. Your kids going "Daddy, there's someone out there."

We start to get excited and then channel the inner J.Spin science mind to try to figure out if it's valid to get excited, ha.

We’ve got a lot of water in the middle. The existing base was dense, then locally here I got about 2” of slop on 1” water, then some wetter/dense upslope... then some real dry snow the last couple days. I had 14.5” this morning... top is fluffy, then there’s a very stout thick layer from the high QPF event sitting in the middle (acting like a floor), and then semi-faceted snow under that.
