Was pushing the camera lens again this morning.... but above the inversion the visibility was insane. Could see from Maine to Quebec and New Hampshire from Mt Mansfield.
I had never in 15 years noticed the trails on Cannon Mountain being visible from Stowe but could make out the top trails with the naked eye. The photo is a bit "noisy" but you can see the trails on Cannon with Lafayette behind it.
Gotta use it to figure out what VT ski area gets the most snow. Think you gotta ride with Mt Snow but I was thinking the banding on NAM might have been north of that even.
Yeah NAM 12km you responded to had a lot of SE posts but it s not that far off 12z. I think the fear was 18z would be SYR BTV BML, lol. It hit you good. Anything not north of 12z was a win for the forum.
Ha, I know you all think I’m trying to steal ALL of your snow. I just want 3”. Cover the grass blades back up and uniform white. Anything to whiten up the crusty left-overs.
Be interesting to see the other models. The NAM/ICON/GFS all made substantial NW ticks at 12z. RGEM was decently NW but not completely crazy. The other models when toggling from 6z to 12z were fairly substantial. Makes you wonder what data they got in.
It's almost like they kept the low more tucked into the mid-Atlantic coast for longer before going east... didn't get sucked east into that convective blob like previously. RGEM went over Nantucket instead of more like the Benchmark from 6z to 12z.
