Yeah they got crushed. It’s switching to up north now. I still can’t believe how hard it’s snowing here at Stowe. I hear town got hit fast this morning with a quick several inches in two hours.
It is snowing so obscenely hard right now here on the County Line at 1500ft.
Has to be over 2"/hr. High Road Plot had 8" cleared yesterday and then another 6" by 9am this morning for storm total 14" and rising fast.
This is like being in a deform band.
Yeah tilt 4 on radarscope does the best for me... beam still is blocked by a few peak tops (like Mansfield) but by and far it shows the best of what's going on IMO.
On Wunderground the 2.45 degree scan is my favorite as the lowest that doesn't hit the peaks. J.Spin probably 1"/hr just above the "W" in Waterbury. I hear I-89 through the Spine is near whiteout.
That's great for the local mountains there... probably enough for you to skin up the neighborhood hills? That's a "game changer" for injecting a shot of frozen water into the snowpack.
HRRR keys more into the terrain though. Mansfield to Jay Peak stretch should do quite well as ratios increase. Ends with -12C 850mb temps which should promote some decent snow growth.
Yeah, I now see the guy a couple hundred feet above you has been listed in past NWS Chat as RANDOLPH 1.4 NE 44.39N/71.27W 1775. Good thump there for sure.
The latest 18z EURO actually has a more widespread look to precipitation between 7pm tonight and 7pm tomorrow night than just purely orographic. This second part could be a fun event in it's own right.
Yeah the Adirondacks were certainly deeper into cold air for sure. Pretty heavy elevation gradient around here but the QPF totals are pretty similar...which with such low tide is what really matters. This stuff was thick wet paste. Cleaning the 5” off my car at the end of the day, the bottom 2” we’re just like slush and ponding water.
Yeah agreed. We had 5” at 1500ft and 8” at 3000ft... and it contains a lot of water. I think we can add 6-12” next 24 hours on the upslope. A perfect right side up storm... bread and butter on top of pot roast.
Nice, it should keep coming lightly up there before the wind switch to WNW.
I picture you in a dark room in Maryland right now with multiple TV screens and monitors going with your webcams, watching it snow just like you were there ha ha.
Back to just pounding wet snow over here.
The upslope signal tonight and tomorrow is just sick. There’s a lot of residual moisture around to get wrung out.
Most models have 0.5-1.0” QPF as upslope for the Spine. Here’s the GFS starting at 9pm tonight through 9pm tomorrow.
