I was surprised with how much snow that produced yesterday. Not often we can get this much snow out of a system tracking east of the Benchmark. Good spread the wealth system. It was almost like an inverted trough last night though on radar. Weird look.

18" was the last reading at 9am on the mountain. I got about 13" at home and it's down to flurries while we wait for stronger NW flow. Figure the mountain is good for another 8-12" while 3-6" here at home. Mreaves got like over two feet or something like that near Montpelier.

lol round two is getting ready to go tonight and tomorrow. What a cycle for the skiers and snow lovers everywhere.

Just amazing stuff happening. If these models are right about another .5-1.0" QPF through tomorrow afternoon it is going to get ridiculous. It's already pushing the boundaries of what is deep and skiable in terms of seeing where you are going.

18" at the mountain as of 9am. 5" + 13" are the two board clearings. 12z 3km has another inch of QPF. Lol.

11" at my house. 14" at mountain. Models showing up to another inch of QPF for the mountains in next 24-30 hours.

A dime a dozen these events are . A new generation of weenies has to be born now. If I was in middle or high school as a budding snow lover in Eastern Mass...I'd be hooked and think this is how it's always been. Getting pissed if you go 4 years without a 24-36" event.

I think that's too low in the Berkshires west slopes, but I'm sure they really spent a lot of time hashing that out compared to the population centers in E.Ma .

Didn't you have snow on the ground before the storm? Or is that just storm depth? Some of you must have some solid snowpacks between the last two systems.

5" today at a steady 0.5-1.0"/hr rate most of the afternoon. We'll just tick away for the next 48 hours lol. Snow rates in the mountains should get up there on the NW flow. I think the ski resorts end with 24-36". It's not death band snow but it is truly "days and days"...

There is a disappointing amount of photos from today from the folks under that band!

I would think the northern end of that should push west while the southern end works east a bit?

Sounds fun ha.

We are now in the northern part of that band that is reaching down into central CT. It's coming down hard and flake size increased notably. Crazy this band goes all the way down to HFD area. 12z EURO still has a long ways to go. Snows up here through 18z Thursday.

I can't believe its been sustained 1/4sm snow way out here from a low that far away. Definitely bucks the trend. The mountains are going to get feet from a storm that went what east of the Benchmark? We still have days to go up here.

That looks perfect for Ginxy... stoked for him. As usual ORH is just far enough in the right direction to get the pivot point, lol.

The simulated rad products do show sort of rare west flow upslope in your area up through the western side of the ORH hills. Obviously the best and heaviest stuff tonight into tomorrow morning will be west slopes of Litchfield county north through the Berks and Greens, but interesting to see the radar projections keeping snow going western side in your area north to Hubby. Don't see that too often.

Nice man! What are you up to in the past two storms combined now?

Snowing steadily and heavily the past few hours. Visibility has been 1/2sm or lower for the past two hours here with 0.16" in the ASOS bucket. Everything on track for a good synoptic snowfall followed by upslope crushing.

You are going to make Hay. Looks really good for significant west slope upslope all up and down the Greens. You'll probably do better than up here later tonight and tomorrow morning as you have better low level jet dynamics and perpendicular westerly flow.

I'll have to find it but I remember seeing a TV forecast for Vermont out of a BTV news station that just had "2-4 feet" written covering the entire state.

That whole winter was a wet dream or white dream for the interior. Even in ALB it was one of my first few winters really watching the models and I distinctly remember that 12/31 event become a much bigger event as it came closer (we had like 12-14" I think) and then remember the models jacking up the Feb 01 event as we got closer with further NW tracks. Then all events in March seemed to trend snowier, too, at least in the local high country. I do sort of miss the days of crazy model swings...oh wait...

That was a great storm. Around 15" at BTV got the depth up around two feet in mid-December...which is pretty solid for that location. Amazing coastal front there though...you've got 14s next to 30s haha.

Full on haha... love looking at the past photos every once in a while.

Not SNE but time for a weenie revisit to the beginning of last winter...which had several sweet snow events prior to Thanksgiving. Last winter the early season was pretty awesome. October 23rd started it off with 7-11" (elevation dependent) at the mountain... It snowed off and on for that final week of October... adding another couple inches here and there. October 28, 2018 After that there were a few mild weeks in November but winter returned/arrived on November 21st...a solid upslope snowstorm moved in with NW flow bringing heavy snow squalls to the area. Up at the mountain on November 21st. The closest building is "the office." Down the road at 1,300ft. Even down in town, November 21st rocked and broke my almost 2 year drought for a warning criteria event with just over 7" falling in the end. All from some moisture and NW flow. This is how it should look down in the valley prior to every Thanksgiving, haha.
