Ha! I think we've had enough clouds to keep snow on the trees but the grass looks the greenest it's looked yet this spring. Little snow fertilizer. Funny to have green lawn and 1-2" on all the bushes and evergreens. Very odd look. I give it another hour till that falls too.

12" at 1,300ft 8.0" at 760ft That fits nicely and my brain likes nice fitting obs, ha. Good call on the low level NW winds through the *entire* event. I thought there was some SE flow early but nope, it was all NW. The craziest part is that 3-4 town zone around Bennington there, seem to get shafted in a large percentage of memorable storms (you can find them on the model mins usually).... its awesome that they got probably their biggest positive bust in May. Definitely the jackpot there along the NY/VT border and the two neighboring counties of Washington and Bennington.

That’s nuts.

6” in Kirby, VT (next to Lyndonville) Looks normal for this time of year.

Ah nice grab. Looks like that mid level band ran from like east/central NY up through Mreaves to Alex...then Washington County NY had some good blocked flow upslope. Looks like 1.4” will do it here for now, we’ll see if some squalls can fire up.

Yeah must be some weird convergence. You are right, it is legit, there’s enough 8-9” reports right in that area. Crazy as it’s literally 3-4 times the amount of melted precipitation as everywhere around there. It’s not even close but there it is in several different reports.

Seems low for him, Woodford at 2000ft with 8.5” just to his west. But some weird banding as we are seeing in that area and adjacent lower elevations east/west of SVT.

Wow that’s insane. And they aren’t mountains either, Washington County usually downslopes bad in a lot of synoptic storms but pulls 8-10” on May 9th.

I saw 8.0" inches in Granville, NY on 0.68" water. Was there some weird stuff going on last night? This stands out like a sore thumb but it's got 8.0" snow depth. At first I thought they meant 0.8" but the precip is nuts.

There are some crazy ratios coming in this morning for this time of year... Danville, VT 0.37" for 5.5" snow Ryegate, VT 0.29" for 4.2" snow Greensboro, VT 0.21" for 3.5" snow Landgrove, VT 0.16" for 3.0" of snow East Calais, VT 0.20 for 3.0" snow Who would've thought places would be ripping 15:1 ratios on May 9th.

Holy shit! Man, we just missed to the south by a county. Cold enough, just not enough precip! Not too often you can say that in mid-May.

It is dumping dendrites now. This isn't even wet snow. Just upslope cotton candy. Crazy town. This would add some quickly.

Welcome to mid-May? Upslope is building on radar and we'll see what today brings. Should be able to add some to the total.

Ha, elevated surfaces coming in with around 1" here. If only we had more QPF, but this is pretty awesome looking outside.

We tried to tell them! Nice man.

Wow nice! Doubt we will do more than a half inch here. No QPF. MVL... 0.08” MPV... 0.30” We were just north of the gradient.

Grass turning white with a quarter inch so far and can see the evergreens going white. Steady light snow.

Crazy to have flakes flying even down in the Hudson Valley this time of year. Looks like ALB is 2.5 mile vis.

We are gonna need some QPF though... 0.01”/hr isn’t gonna get much more than a deck coating no matter how cold it is.

Insanity for temperatures. Don’t need heavy rates in this air mass to get it to snow.

Crazy that it looks like the Green Mtn Spine up here isn’t getting into it yet. Odd for it to be snowing steadily in town with nothing happening over Mansfield.

Nice light snow, much steadier now probably 1-2 mile visibility type stuff. No accums but awesome to see steady flakes falling in the flood lights outside.

Mild 44F here... picnic tables have been rotting at 32-33F all day though. Wind chills in the mid-teens. Should be a nice day for a little hike with the dog lol.

I'll have to look for the storm summary map, but it was a big upper level low that brought widespread snow everywhere and then transitioned to a monster upslope event I think. @klw was living up in the Northeast Kingdom I think at the time, I remember he had like 14" or something? Peacham maybe? Funny how we remember that stuff, ha. Couldn't tell you anything else about him except I remember how much he got in a snowstorm a decade ago . I just seem to remember the set-up went from widespread heavy precipitation across the northern third of NNE as something traversed across, then the backside NW flow really added it up from the Spine back towards BTV. It had to be a frigid air mass though to get 5.5" at BTV this time of year.

Crazy as we had full sun up here and CLR skies this morning.... up to 49F at MVL while you are getting catpaws. Sun comes out and the temperature immediately corrects to about 50F even with sub-zero 850s.
