    Going to need a big tick NW up here, but unlikely given the stability of guidance. The GFL-RUT-LCI corridor likes to max out frontogenic forcing. Climo favored zone on hugging systems.

    Looked like some big accident involving TT unit and multiple cars on 89 near Berlin maybe? Down in town my car was iced up but roads fine, up here at the ski resort everything is a skating rink.

    This looks like climo for a weak coastal system and poor low level temps.

    The nighttime temps this month have just crushed snowmaking opportunities. Snowmaking relies on those daily temperature averages, and especially the mins. Chop 10 degrees off the lower end of the daily range and it’s been a struggle to make snow consistently in the elevations that need it. A ton of tepid air masses. Looks like it should improve. I always loop 925mb temps to gage snowmaking chances. Need to see -5C or lower sustained at 925mb for true snowmaking opportunities at 1500ft.

    The new climate… just days and days of normal highs and torched lows. Another +5 day. Yesterday’s high… 40F. Normal high… 40F. Yesterday’s low… 32F Normal low… 22F.

    It’s been 9 days since we’ve seen a mean daily temp departure less than +4. November is at +5.3. That pretty much explains the air masses we’ve seen. Not surprising this event will be marginal under 1,000ft.

    Luckily not too bad. Kitchen in the secondary restaurant up there, The Waffle. It’s all concrete around that space which contained it to like a 20’ x 20’ space and it snuffed itself out when crews reached it via snowcat. Thats what I gathered listening to the radio and Lamoille Dispatch.

    From what I gathered on the radio was the fire was contained to the Waffle kitchen and had snuffed itself out by the time crews got up there via snowcat. Was lucky a Lift Mechanic was up there to spot it though. On the radio it sounded like heavy damage to the kitchen but that building is like a concrete bunker that contained it inside the walls of The Waffle. It’s all concrete around that space.

    Damnit. Everything trends worse all the time, after it trends better. I had locked 10” in.

    You get a run that jackpots an area... of course its going to get worse after that though. Like you aren't going to run 7 days of jackpot run after jackpot run.

    That would give me some partial sunshine. Deal.

    What happened to you? You sound like me now, questioning everything that could be fun weather, lol. You used to see 0.1” QPF and lock in 3-6” five days out.

    Finally a widespread precipitation event.

    Snow football brings back some childhood feelings. Like it fits the time of year perfectly.

    It is dumping in high-def live TV there.

    That’s a legit cam shot, looks like a plows gone through there on RT 100 in Ludlow. Okemo cam only shows 1” though. Those variations are certainly possible though given microscale effects.

    Can see the cold and dynamic cooling working on the SW side of the system. 32F from BGM to AVP.
  20. powderfreak
    Yeah you’re gonna need 0.10-0.20” in the bucket each hour to get that low level warmth eradicated. It needs to vomit snow to cool it below 1000-1500ft later tonight.

    Positive snow depth increase is the map to use with the mild low level airmass.

    Another night, another mild one at elevation. The mid-slope climate is well mixed and in a mild month, you can’t hide from it like the valleys can. 28F in the valley and 39F in the base area. It’s cold where people live, but warm on the mountain. The inversions are things that skew public perception on snowmaking.

    Its got a devastating ice storm vibe.

    How were winters following quakes AND fires?
