Stealing my 00z snow... that is a lot of precip. Hills get crushed in CNE.

What day... full sun and mid-40s. Feels beautiful out here with a wind chill near 32F lol. Our expectations are real low right now, as it does feel like a nice day. Despite the sun, snow still holding on in the shade and on mulch beds lol. Dew points near 0F aren’t melting this fast even at 45F.

Nice on the snow, ha. It shut down quickly here when the drier mid-level air moved in from the west and skies became broken pretty fast. Crazy day, full winter to nice sunset. Weird having the sun set so late in the day after a day and so far north on the horizon with that type of weather today.

What a fukkin' sunset... Earth Day special from Mother Nature.

Finally tapering to just scattered wind-blown flurries. MVL ASOS getting up to 34F now that the snow has largely shut off... the high for the day. The persistent light precip certainly kept temps down. What a way to run a winter day in late April... 12 hours of snow showers.

Yeah I posted this in the other thread, but you know where this is... by the corn maze on Mtn Road... that field with the first great view of Mansfield. Judging from my car odometer, it was two tenths a mile to that road the house is on. The snow growth is so great that these massive flakes are very efficient at reducing visibility... this is about 1/4 mile +SN. Crazy to get this type of snowfall with the radar echoes in clear air mode. Interesting note, the dark soil of the freshly turned farmer field was really struggling to accumulate despite the snowfall. Sun angle is still there behind this stuff.

Damn suppression depression finally as we head towards May?

Lake Placid COOP reported 5.0" new snow at 7am this morning with continued snow today. If they have fresh snow cover around SLK, that could certainly help get them low tonight with this air mass.

Man these squalls pack a punch. The snow growth is so great that these massive flakes are very efficient at reducing visibility... this is about 1/4 mile +SN.

Flow is definitely pretty unblocked... seems to be extending quite a bit downwind of the Spine. You can see this where the radar can "see" through the Winooski River Gap and I-89...showing good echoes all the way into Montpelier area.

Backyard scenes.... almost noon in late April. Mid-20s and perfect fluffy snow growth like its Currier and Ives season. Even the rooftops are bare because the dry powder is getting windswept off it. Fun little weather day.

We are up to 25F! MPV torching at 23F, lol. What a fukking cold day. This is insane.

JSpin, snow machine switched to on. 3/4ths of an inch to maybe an inch now at 11am.

We upslope. Snowy morning.

Yeah straight CAA. It definitely took me a little by surprise but the air mass is legit. Pretty much everyone got this cold from CAA, with no radiational cooling. If we mounted up as radiators in this air mass it’s probably 12F outside right now lol. Only 3/4ths of an inch snow so far but it’s not even close to being wet, blowing off the rooftops like some January squalls, lol.

I mean I’m blown away this morning. Low-20s and ripping snow. Look at Whiteface Summit in Adirondacks... 4F with 50mph winds. Mid-winter cold.

These temperatures with snowfall are obscene. Upper teens to lower 20s. Straight mid-winter. 1/2sm at MVL, 3/4sm at MPV.

Dude. It’s 22F with 1/2sm moderate snow and everything is white again. It’s like a semi-mild January morning. 22F...M06!! KMVL 221143Z AUTO 32005KT 1/2SM SN FZFG VV013 M06/M08

WTF is this on the 18z Euro lol. Temps 33-35F and pounding snow? Little Friday fun day?

Before the clearing... elevation paste event today. Looks like 1500ft and up saw some snow.

Got some late day clearing in... nice look for the Worecester Range in Stowe.

Just flipped to snow up here in the valley. Wet lazy flakes.

Ha yup. Today would've been a clipper windex hybrid, then back-to-back great tracks later this week on the Euro if it was like 4-6 weeks ago. Friday has a 996mb passing south of the Islands in SNE.... and then a 993mb low goes over the Cape elbow over the weekend. Just a parade lately of very favorable storm tracks for New England winter weather had climo been about 5-8C cooler.

Man what a pattern this would've been a month ago.
