J.Spin has to be getting relatively crushed. I usually take the 30dbz yellow pixels, assume downstream drift, and then know that those echos are usually 1"/hr rates at least. That was a pretty good pulse for the Spine in J.Spin's area. Looks like I-89 and RT 2 are still just wet in Bolton, but looks like it's snowing decently in the low elevations (300ft) along the Spine. Once those roads give in to the cold temperatures tonight and salt doesn't work as well, it'll be quite slick out there on the Interstate through the Spine.

A dark time in our NNE snow history. Like 2010 in SNE watching some in mid-Atlantic rack up 80-100" on the season. It was pretty much that season's absurdity (south) and heartbreak (north), set just a bit further to the northeast.

Extremely dry fluffy snow here. Not J.Spin's inch but likely around a half inch on the wooden garden table I measure on, ha. There's no moisture in this at all, the flakes stack like potato chips in a bag. Just as reference when looking at radar between my spot and J.Spin... one can see how J.Spin is right in the max Spine axis. There's a decent amount of downwind drift, seen as the scan angle decreases it spreads eastward, but J's in the atmospheric sweet spot.

I just remember Eyewall moving from North Carolina to BTV... and then BTV didn't record a single warning criteria snowstorm at the airport for two full winters, lol. Hopefully Phin brings NNE better luck.

I’ll show him the good stuff.

Light it up. It’s dumping on the Spine. Snowing much steadier here.

You won't get the full NNE experience until it finally gets cold enough and then all the sudden the storms start exiting stage right in a suppressed pattern of "Congrats south of the Pike".

Persistent flurry up this way. Haven’t seen any accums under 1500ft... there was a tenth of two blowing around up at the hill.

Back over to snow at about 11:15am at 1,500ft. White rain is more like it but it is snow melting in contact.

Yeah every spot can be fringe city in the right set up...and it isn't a competition, but I am thoroughly convinced that Jay Peak is inch for inch the snowiest ski area in the northeast. Year in and year out, regardless of what anyone thinks of Jay Peak ski area measurements, the meteorology stacks up. It's like Mansfield plus 25%.

18z EURO was a little cooler and tried to get some front end snow going in NNE on Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday morning. Not much but even an inch or two would be appreciated.

I think you're going to be the bread winner this winter up there... another world at like 1,800-2,000ft on Jay Peak. What a true weenie spot. I'm so happy we have someone up there now to showcase it. Keep the photos coming all winter. We had a brief snow and sleet shower here a little while ago that also dusted up the ground but it's not as white as that, lol. It looked like all snow in the flood lights but once you went outside you could hear there were pellets in there too. It was a loud snow. Just cloudy now.

Awesome Gene! Looking good! Thanks for the duplicate, my wife started it last night.

Light snow starting at 2,600ft. Nice day for a hike with wife and dog.

33/20 over this way to the west. Virga sky, there's some snow falling up there somewhere lol.

A new thread with maps like that of 200 past snowstorms?! Sounds awesome. A one-stop shop for history.

Looks awesome. Well done on the map, wouldn't change a thing... and what an event for the ALB area, lol. Those type of two footers don't grow on trees in the Capital District.

Fantastic business plan right there, IMO. Thanks for the intel.

That’s a great idea. So they rent their barrels to brewers from elsewhere to add variety? I’m surprised someone hasn’t done that fully... just an entire brewery brewing other people’s beers from around the US, or even internationally.

New England all quarantined up now with today’s Mass update removing NH and ME from the safe list. From Boston.com: Massachusetts residents planning to visit family in New Hampshire and Maine this Thanksgiving will be required to quarantine for two weeks or have proof of a negative COVID-19 test upon their return, according to the latest change of the state’s out-of-state travel rules — and the same goes for visitors from two those states coming here for the holiday. As local officials urge residents against traveling at all for Thanksgiving amid the surge in coronavirus cases this fall, a spokesperson for the state’s COVID-19 Command Center told Boston.com that Massachusetts will remove New Hampshire and Maine from its list of lower-risk states effective Saturday. That means individuals visiting or returning from those states are now required to self-quarantine for 14 days or have proof of a negative COVID-19 test from within the prior 72 hours upon arriving in Massachusetts. Failure to comply may result in a $500 fine per day.

I feel like each Saturday is a repeat of the one before that. Hiking around it’s 28-32F and spitting flurries above 2,500ft... slate gray overcast again. This is identical to last Saturday.

It's mixed back out. 55F now from 43F next to the golf course. The cold air has been forced down river, towards the Lower Village. Everything should start to mix out if the wind continues like this. A few decent breezes here.

Yeah for sure. Those should crush there.

Southern Maine's time is coming. Missed the SNE October storm, missed the NNE upslope and snow shower/squall events. You'll get that Miller B that has us smoking cirrus at some point.

Hey @Ginx snewx, hope all went well with the back surgery today dude.
