    Really happy for the Tamarack, Dryslot, Lava Rock, OceanSt, etc crew... the GYX region seems like it hasn't had a good solid win yet this season despite events NW or south of them.

    He’s consistent. I really don’t get how it annoys you guys so much. The dude likes warm weather, it happens.

    About 4.5” total after a half inch overnight. Essential sand, you barely sink into it. Should be some decent squalls with the ULL later today.

    Nice, December to remember down there.

    And the ones with widespread 8-13” for Dendrite’s area? Glad I sold them and went 3-6” up here. The snow maps had 5-10” but we know how it goes with mid level warmth. The mixed precip is always closer than you think.

    BTV CWA with some big ice in NNY... 1” ice is no joke: “A wide range of precip has fallen so far with the most significant icing across the SLV where, KMSS is reporting 0.86 and ground truth from airport officials are estimating near 1.0 of ice.”

    4” of the densest white material you’ll ever see. Has to be 5:1 ratios of this sleet/snow mixture. Has the appeal of a much larger winter storm based on the plow piles. Probably 0.8” water in 4” of accumulation. Big aggregates mixed with IP now. This stuff will be around for a while... true man pack stuff.

    Always go warmer mid-level temps in these and toss the snow maps. There are always those warm layers the models don’t extrapolate in those graphics. After some sleet and freezing rain it’s back to snow up here for the moment. At least it looks like winter again and the grass was completely buried again at home from the bare spots that opened up.

    A healthy 2” of dense snow overnight...now sleet and freezing rain just switched at 6:20am. Roads a mess...some healthy QPF in that 2” overnight.

    32/23 Should wet bulb nicely.

    Might actually get some snow out of this...though still expect more sleet than models show.
  12. powderfreak
    Swim? Ha.

    Looks like an interesting system... I think we could get 3-5” of snow/sleet up this way. Dense stuff and good upslope signal on Wednesday to follow it up.

    Not much precip at all for NNE on that 00z NAM. Don't want it if it isn't going to be snow. Might make sense with that high building in and the low levels have some dry air advecting in from here to Dryslot.

    Looked very similar here a couple days ago. Still fully white and crunchy depth. Only 2-3” now though. Bare ground under the pine stands.

    Not a bad look for CAD at the end of the 18z ECM. That’s got a warming aloft while wedging south at the surface look.

    Is this prog correct for White Xmas today? It’s better to have loved and lost, than to not loved at all. I feel like this map looks like one of those TWC white Xmas probability maps.

    Merry Christmas fellow weather weenies! A crusty 3” on the ground outside, not a fresh Christmas but guess it’s white. Need more snow!

    Ha I appreciate the concern for sure. I was just chuckling that I posted only a few posts above him there. Dont have much to add to the pattern thread at this time, just waiting and watching.

    I posted this morning, 6 posts in front of you? Dendrite quoted me in the post two above ya! Have had a dozen family members in town for early Xmas this weekend and just getting ready for the crush at the ski area. No weather makes it a good time to be busy.

    10-11F this morning here in the valley with freezing fog and mist...while it’s 31F at the picnic tables. Still only 17F at 9am.

    1V4... -2.8F BTV... -2.9F MVL... -3.1F MPV... -3.8F Very rare appearance by BTV up here that fits nicely in the departures. BTV, MVL, 1V4 all very close... Montpelier/MPV with the cold month so far.

    It almost seems like the tarmac sites run warm (say BDL and BOS), and then the other smaller airport sites run tad cool (MVL and ORH I know you've mentioned you think are a tad cool). Tough to find that "perfect" site. And the NWS calibration tend to find no issue. There are so many small local temperature variations. I mean I look at PWS stations and they are all over the place too, even right next to each other.

    On my phone I can only find this one from 2015... but I have another one with the past 3 years in it at work. The average is down to around 304” I think with 156” in 2015-16 and 375” in 16-17 and 286” in 17-18 and low 300s last winter.

    Measurement locations and method of collection. I don’t think Mansfield gets more but you’d have to do an equal comparison. Not all locations are the same. I think of summit snow as like measuring snow on your roof vs your yard. Sometimes the snow stacks on the roof nicely, other times the roof is blown clean. It would certainly be a bit different than the snow in the yard.
