    It really cooled off. You can tell it was paste at some point by how it’s stuck to the cars. Arctic pow and that wind the cars are probably cleaned off lol. Perfect right side up snowfall for the skiers up there.

    Sugarloaf posted this for the morning photo... Prob the best shot I’ve seen so far from this one.

    What a spot dude. Mountain cabin... I love that. Just a very angry inch here at Stowe... winds are absolutely cranking, gusts to 50mph even in the base area. Quad on wind hold.

    Good looking radar backing in there.

    That’s incredible, almost in a novel way. Those can be sleet ratios. No wonder there are a lot of power outages in that swath.

    For the record I’ve seen 3 or 4 flurries float down into the dry air while walking the dog this evening by headlamp along the river.

    Great pic. 6" or more of paste looks real nice.

    Last to get started, last to end is the NNE motto. Need a measurement pic, get outside!... fire pit area looks like a good spot, lol.

    Snow capital of the East in coastal storms for sure.

    Yeah those widespread 12-24” are going down in a dumpster fire. Fascinating event from the outside. I’m shocked.

    3.5" for you... wow. That looked like a lock for 8"+ too. We definitely over-estimated the dynamic cooling and should certainly pay better attention to 2-M temps next time. Last night's 00z EURO had widespread >0C surface temps as of 8pm tonight but as a forum I don't think we really discussed that aspect. The idea was the dynamics would flip it easily to stackable snow. Wonder what your QPF is?

    It's impressive that ORH at 1,000ft on December 5th, ripped off 1.14" of water in a 6-hour period at H85 temps below 0C and didn't hit 32F... all the obs are 33-34F. That's an average of 0.20"/hr pretty much at sub-freezing temps a few thousand feet above them and still couldn't hit a true 32F. I figured they'd be down at like 30F ripping snow with those precip rates.

    Wow. I was way wrong up there. Figured 8+, too.

    You home or up near Waterville?
  15. powderfreak
    Those are the official boards. Best type of snowboard you can have. I love those things at the mountain.
  16. powderfreak
    Just catching up... really?! I thought you were a lock for like 8-10” or more.
  17. powderfreak
    Interesting ORH’s temp is up to 34F now. Dews are up to 33F from 29F in the heaviest precip. Really marginal when this time of year with snow falling as it lightens up the temp/dews come up?

    700mb fronto

    Your area is looking really, really good right now, ha. Jelly. If you are already snow that is a lot of moisture feeding into that. Those radar echoes are legit just north/west of the radar site.
  20. powderfreak
    Great shot man, keep 'em coming! More snowy than the base of Stowe .
  21. powderfreak
    The hourly rates at ORH are impressive... 0.20” last hour. That’s some legit precip. Even as high as 0.33” in an hour.
  22. powderfreak
    Radar making a more noticeable push towards you Phin. I bet you’re really ripping in the next 1-2 hours.
  23. powderfreak
    You need a snowmobile that you can just fire up and rip through the neighborhood checking snow stakes . I’ll build you 3-4 and you can string them from Gorham all the way up up to the Ice Gulch Path.

    Ha yeah for sure but they’ll flip over as soon as any serious lift moves in. Looks like Berlin went to snow around 11:30am at the air field. That dude at 1800ft is probably even whiter. I’d just be wandering around he neighborhood all day lol. It’s funny here at the ski area we’ve got a road that goes up to over 1,800ft where folks live, and I’ll even drive up there to see how much whiter it is in marginal scenarios like a good weenie.
  25. powderfreak
    Yeah, I’m surprised how wet it still looks on the cam. Some whitening but that has a look of being near the snow line. I think once better lift moves in it’ll flip to snow right to 700ft. Doesn’t seem like areas seeing rain up there are missing out much yet. Shows how marginal it is as I figured you’d just be accumulating right off the start.
