    Going to pow town on the mountain. Finally feels like NNE winter out there.

    At the mountain when it hit we had to pretty much stop skiing. Pure whiteout in all senses of the word.

    Good 3” so far in the Stowe Base area this afternoon.

    Some incredible snow growth with these blossoming snow showers. Like 1” diameter fluff flakes. Stacking up like potato chips in a bag...half air.

    Best totals are in NVT near Canada... Morgan...9.5” Derby... 7.8” Westfield...7.0”

    Just beautiful snow globe out there this morning. Looks like a healthy 4” or so. Sparkling pow. All models continue to show high end snow squalls this afternoon up here.

    This was at 3.25-3.5" a little while ago (maybe 30-45 min ago)... the latest burst probably has it pushing 4". Not big snow for Dec 17th up here, but it does look like this will lock in a white Christmas. We'll see what the squalls tomorrow bring.

    In a hurricane it’s usually warm out and you have a lot more hours of daylight. Losing power in mid winter, no thanks. That’s a much different animal than in August.

    Yeah I saw BTV had some reports of 4-5” earlier in that band. Nice event. 3” here so far and 4” snow depth. At least it’s looking like winter out.

    We've been seeing steady light snow with some fresh accumulation in the past hour, but hoping we can get this final band to swing through. Really nice band starting to sag south towards BTV. Solid radar signature on that thing. Mid-level magic.
  11. powderfreak
    That's legit. Nice shot.
  12. powderfreak
    Eyeballing 2.5-3” on the cars here, will measure a little later, still snowing nicely. Just a nice steady light snow all day.
  13. powderfreak
    The funniest thing is the mid-level banding is even further north and we are on the southern end of it. Northern Champlain Valley towards Jay Peak looks to be in the sweet spot.

    We'll see... sometimes its the less than perfect looking ones that produce thundersnows as they hit the mountains, but I don't think I've seen quite that crosshair between extreme lift and dendrite growth. Thought at some point I think that lift is just too strong and it's pouring graupel anyway. It might need to calm down a little to get the good dendrites flying.

    lol at the 12z GFS for squalls tomorrow... this is BTV, probably hitting right as school gets out and the evening commute. Just incredible lift smack in the snow growth zone. Big time squalls.
  16. powderfreak
    Snow growth is excellent here as well. Probably around a half inch in diameter flakes.
  17. powderfreak
    Ripping out now. Gotta be close to moderate snow. Decent growth.
  18. powderfreak
    We’ll see what happens today....still think 2-3” may be possible, then there’s the arctic shortwave tomorrow. Hopefully squalls for all. 6z NAM gone wild up here in the mountains next two days.
  19. powderfreak
    Reggie getting there.

    It's interesting the P-type progs have it as sleet/rain at 21 hours. Sleet by 18 hours. No idea what the algorithms are but they have very little snow. Looks warmest around 750-800mb? The low level temps on this are a joke, above freezing at the SFC but like -3C at 925mb.... it's sleet and 32F or less...not rain.
  21. powderfreak
    He beat me to it. I was thinking 3-5" of white material on the ground at the end in your area, including sleet. Dense and white.
  22. powderfreak
    Yeah right after I post that the 00z HRRR goes nuts with a bunch of 6-8" amounts in the SWFE favored locals of RT 2 to SVT/SNH.
  23. powderfreak
    I honestly would be shocked if anyone saw 8”. Possible I guess but it just doesn’t seem to have the oomph right now.
  24. powderfreak
    I thought you were lower earlier today? I don’t remember you thinking 4-8”?
  25. powderfreak
    Ahhh ok thanks...yeah I was just thinking your area could get in on it too. Almost like convergence along a stationary front before the approaching system turns it into a warm front lifting north.
