    Damn, 16.5”. I was going to say that deck looked like 6”... maybe 8? South facing though and could be windswept... I think the standard building code is the bottom rung of a railing can’t be more than 4” off the deck so I was going off that as an estimate.

    Doesn’t look like a whole lotta growing on those trees in that picture he just posted lol. Nice overlook though Kev.

    JSpin, is Bolton still allowing uphill? I had heard they closed it. Of course that means different things at different mountains... here it was heavily influenced by Stowe PD and the town to keep people out of town from coming in to skin. Police have been making the rounds up there, so skinning just isn’t worth the looking over your shoulder mentality. Im sure Bolton doesn’t have that issue with no local bored police force ha.

    Suns coming out finally... gonna burn the snow off real fast. Mountain cleared out in the distance too.

    Yeah she did, until last night's surprise. Maybe today she'll have the last roll, ha. Once the Upslope Machine is turned on, it's hard to completely shut it down.

    Yeah, still getting -SN up here too thanks to that wind hitting the mtns. Days and days of snow.

    Measuring table with 1.75” this morning... bet the mountain picked up a good half a foot. Had temps been below freezing that was probably 3” last night... but alas mostly fell at 33-34F.

    Gotta love mesoscale snow. Moisture streaming into the hills. Like the energizer bunny, hard to get it to die.

    Best Radar look so far. Must be crushing at the ski area with constant 30-35dbz. Snowing furiously at home right now. Big fat upslope flakes.

    It is dumping outside right now. Quite a nice upslope band of moderate to heavy snow over the Spine. Must be getting some decent downwind drift too as it’s snowing furiously in town. The atmospheric speed bump at work.

    Glad to see SNE getting in on the snow squall action. Didn't have to go far to find "real" winter.... about 500ft above my house at 1,200-1,300ft there was about 3.5" of heavy dense snow. The squalls have been pretty consistent all day long, move in and out fast but can get some good pulses of moderate to heavy snow at times. And then this is a squall rolling through down in the lower elevations around 800ft.

    This is a pretty damn good snow shower... whitening the evergreens back up at home. Great snow growth, not aggregates though. Like high ratio fluff if it was cold enough, lol. Looks like there's another one building off to the NW and just tracking down RT 108 here.

    Still snowing nicely. These upslope snow showers just keep forming and riding overhead. Wintry appeal type day.

    Mid-30s. Still getting periods of under 2sm -SN at times at the ASOS. Must be steep lapse rates as the flakes falling aren’t wet. It’s like fluffy flakes falling at 35-36F on my thermometer.

    Dog enjoys what may be the last accums here in the valley...

    Still snowing but warm temps seem to be melting it back quickly now.

    WINDEX events will be 3-6” lol. Westerly FROPA, crushed.

    Looks like the yard faces south which is key in NNE for natural light/heat. You’ll lose snowpack with that open south aspect (could be bare now, with two feet in north facing properties) but that can’t be understated in getting some solar heat help through the picture windows. Like on Mansfield and Spruce, both got similar snowfall but the south facing aspects are bare/patchy while northeast aspect has two feet at the same elevation.

    Yeah you need to get into a cluster of hills so you can’t downslope from any direction. I’d be surprised if SE/S isnt a downslope aspect though, especially those tilted lows with strong SE low level flow under a broader SW flow aloft. The MWN zone is still a 4kft drop to 1500ft. Alex is at 1500ft and sees it sometimes. It’s the “windy -SN” flow.

    Yeah that house looks like its worth it in NH.... don't have to tear down any trailers on the property to build or anything, ha.
  22. powderfreak
    That same house in Stowe with a view and property like that would be millions. Seems like a steal of a deal for that, haha.
  23. powderfreak
    Yeah not hard to find that property online... But holy f*ck that looks sweet. Well done Phin. That's the American dream right there.
  24. powderfreak
    How does Alex fit in there? Looks like Randolph is a town to his NE? I had it wrong, I was confusing Randolph at first with Jackson. I thought he was SE of the mtns, not north of them.... that's a great spot. Must get some good NW flow snow in there.
  25. powderfreak
    It's no Montgomery, VT but should do just great there for snow. You guys want out in the middle of nowhere... the Jay Peak area will do that.
