Once these systems mature though it’s like hit or miss mid-level banding. Just sit and spin and one zone can get 8-12” while another area just happens to fall in mid-level subsidence and gets 2-4”.
I forget you spent time up in Maine in the snow belt didn’t you for college? Man the time flies but shows how long the core group on here has been around.
Driving to Morrisville to get some stuff from NAPA Auto Parts and saw the NOAA techs checking in on the MVL ASOS.
Keep doing God’s work and keep the observations coming, ha.
The good news for SNE is that the conveyor belts look pretty favorable for strong dynamic cooling in heavy precipitation rates. As long as it doesn't occlude too early, you guys look to have a much better shot of it reaching it's peak intensity at the right time.
Figured I'd share the recovery efforts from Mother Nature after the big thaw.
At the High Road Plot at 3,000ft we recorded 23" of snow in the past week. The Mansfield stake depth recovered 22" during that time (from 18" to 40").
I like to post these from time to time to show that yes, someone is actually measuring the snow in the mountains.
We started with 2" of dense stuff before the first storm that brought 12" (7" and 5") and then the second storm brought 9" on the level.
Yeah J.Spin... same thing at Stowe. I would be very cautious under 2,500ft. It's do-able and I felt pretty confident above that mid-mountain level, but lower down it's still tread lightly.
A snowboarder got dragged out of the Notch by Stowe Mountain Rescue over the weekend after shattering his tibia on a rock.
I know I say it a lot, but I'm very happy we have one of the top technical rescue teams in the state right here in Stowe. The local terrain and need for that sort of rescue makes for one heck of a municipal rescue team.
Solid gradient around BTV... lake breeze? Mid/upper teens at times along the lake, including downtown BTV. Just inland at the airport and into the western slope hollows, it's cold.
Crazy that Chittenden County has a temperature range that could go from the upper teens in downtown Burlington near the Lake, to -5F in the elevated hollows along the western slopes.
Even the airport and downtown seem to have a 10F to 15F difference right there on the lake boundary.
Bluebird day in New England.... what a view today towards MWN!
Finally felt like winter with all the fresh snow from the week, crisp, cold January air and long views.
Final measurement today was 9" at 3,000ft.
Previous storm was 12".... 21" from the past two events and 24" this week total (last 5 board cleanings of 1", 2.5", 7", 5", 9") . Not a bad recovery from last weekend's torch.

5.8” at home, 7” at 1,500ft and 8” at 3,000ft. I’d bet it was around 0.5” QPF.
Still some -SN out there from CAA squeezing every last drop out of the atmosphere.
Snow depth back to double digits, which is a nice recovery this week after the torch.
