29F in town with -SN starting. Feels like mid-winter with temps in the 20s waiting for snow.

That is curious going with an Advisory while forecasting 6-9” for Washington County... especially since warning criteria is 6”? Same up in the NE Kingdom.

Are you using Tapatalk? Ahh no, just iPhone normal web based.

Enjoy the snow. Side note, I can't see many of the images lately. They are broken links. Not sure if it's a Tapatalk problem or board issue Interesting. I see everything. Lava you are the only one where if I quote you, the message you quoted also shows up in my post.

Spent the afternoon wandering around in the snow with the dog up at the mountain. With some settling of the snow in today's sunshine and temps near freezing, I found depths of ~3" at the base and ~6" above 2,500ft. Heading back to the car though, we were treated to a cool sight of the snowmaking plumes along the ridge being back-lit by the setting sun. The sun was illuminating each plume of snow, so even though those trails are out of view you can tell they've got the guns fired up.

There''s a fresh inch on my car since I got home from work, but it looks like the sky is breaking to some stars. Love this discussion... .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 250 PM EST Friday...Love the snow? Well this long term forecast is for you, as models are coming into much better agreement compared to yesterday in regard to the potential for a significant snowfall across the North Country Monday night through Tuesday. Latest GFS/ECMWF/GEM are all in fairly close agreement with the strength and track of low pressure developing over the central Appalachians Monday afternoon and tracking along a stalled frontal boundary draped across the mid- Atlantic to southeast New England states. Some minor differences from west to east of the track does complicate the low level thermal profiles where the GFS and ECMWF show a warm nose between 925-850mb nudging into southern Vermont Monday night, but ensembles are slightly cooler. This would support a brief period of mixed precip across our southern zones, while elsewhere the soundings support all snow through the event. While early, indications are for the potential for 6-10" of snow in the lower elevations when it`s all said and done Tuesday evening. High summits could make out with a foot or more with upslope lingering into Tuesday night as well. Hate the cold? The rest of the long term forecast is not for you, because behind the snow cold high pressure builds into the region with strong low/mid level northerly flow ushering in the coldest air of the season yet with 925/850mb temps in the teens below zero through Thursday. This supports highs Wednesday only in the 20s with Tues/Wed night lows in the single digits to teens above zero. Some reprieve comes though Thursday into Friday as the high shifts east and southerly winds return. Temps look to warm back to normal with highs Thu/Fri in the 30s. &&

6.9" event total and 6.0" on the ground.... you did better than the base of Mansfield at 1,500ft. I was estimating 3.5-4" for the base area.

Building up that natural base...

People are posting about that band on I-89 right next to JSpin’s house. The comments of “that place is a huge snow belt, it’s always snowing on 89 there” are hilarious.

Holy shit man, 3”/hr with 4-5” new snow today?!

Meanwhile in the backyard... just a coating, but it is the first accumulating snow here at 750ft in the valley. Temperatures down into the 20s now.

Leaving work this evening...

We have an inch or so at 1500ft base of Stowe. Up north saw a bunch more. Here’s a shot from Montgomery near Jay...

Shout out to BTV who continues to mention snowmaking in their AFD's... always great to see them thinking of the local ski areas. Now we just need Legro to start popping that stuff into GYX AFD's, ha. .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... As of 612 PM EST Tuesday...Updated forecast to increase pops along and east of the central/northern Green Mountains for the next 1 to 2 hours. Radar shows weak line of showers along sfc cold front just approaching the western slopes. This will continue to push east and dissipate or be east of our cwa by 8 PM. Rainfall with this fropa will be less than a tenth of an inch. We received 0.02 here at BTV. Otherwise, temps gradually cool behind boundary with modest low level caa on southwest winds. Did note Whiteface down to 25f already, which could help snow making operations at area resorts overnight. Temps trends and winds look reasonable, based on current obs.

Driving back to Stowe, we caught some awesome views of Mt Mansfield from the west side as the clouds cleared briefly and the sun lowered. The great atmospheric speed bump.

A friends photo from Smugglers Notch uphill from the Stowe/Cambridge line area.

Thanks for the radar grab J. Sounds like the Notch is a mess.

I’m heading back north to Stowe but friends are saying it’s the first accumulation in Stowe. This was 1,300ft.

If you ever get up this way I’ll join ya for some beers for sure.

I wish there was a love button.

Yeah just take those heavier amounts by Alex and Tamarack, and extend that over to the heavy stuff by BTV and western VT....that gap between the two in NE VT is just radar not sampling it well.

That map doesn’t line up with CoCoRAHS in NE VT. If it’s radar estimated it’ll be low over there. NEK in VT was very wet even into Lyndonville.

With the recent flooding 3.5+ rainfall, since October 1st these are stations that have seen over 10” of water fall from the sky.

Severe Irene-level flooding from this event. I put a bunch of stuff in the storm thread. 4+ inches in Underhill, 3.79” storm total in Stow, 4” in Morrisville, Town of Eden is isolated. RT 108 in Stowe washed out. What a rain event!

DDH is a long way from you then... down west of Bennington. That’s a good spot you have there right on the start of the high terrain. Didn’t realize how close you are to Bromley.
