Yeah, this last one couldn’t even be hit accurately at 24 hours out, but fun to keep seeing at least chances show up on the models. Better than seeing two weeks of dry/boring on the runs.

Still shoveling a few Euro snowstorms this season... can’t trust any of them I say!

Not that impressed to be honest, ha. The last 24 hours of Euro runs have ranged from around 0.2” to 1.15” at MVL. The lack of consistency is concerning.

I just came in to post that we just had a nice flare up and period of decent snow dusting us up in the last hour.

Yeah it depends on where she lives. Alex at 1,500ft in Bretton Woods would be saved relatively on SE flow as he's tucked in closer to the terrain.... but get a few miles further out and it probably is a very sharp gradient. Similar to our upslope.

That's awesome. I love those differences, even when I'm on the lower end of that, ha. I love how narrow the difference in appeal can be in elevation snow. That's a big difference in vibe there...from gray/wet to white/bright.

Utterly obscene. It’s hard to match these departures over a 17-day period. I mean MPV/MVL are both almost -10 on the month. For here... 5 of the last 6 days had departures of -19F or lower, as much as -26F a day. BTV... -7.9 1V4... -8.9 MVL... -9.3 MPV... -9.4 This is holy shit level of cold departures.

Island Pond, VT at the ISPV1 station had a low of -11F and a high of 39F.... nice 50-degree diurnal swing.

Good quality snow out there today... cold but no wind and full sunshine...felt warmer than the temperature said.

I like a freezing rain to snow type transition with this one... maybe a quarter inch of glaze followed by 2-3” of snow? Euro maps... it cools it enough to flip to a few hour period of steady snow at the end.

You had 2”. Its the highest depth... makes no difference if you went to sleet, or the temp went to 60F and it melted in minutes, lol....if you had 2” of snow at some point, that’s your snow total. Inevitably it’s all going to melt anyway at some point...whether that 2” is there for 3 months or only an hour doesn’t matter.

About 5” of very dense snow at the mountain. Probably similar 6-7:1 ratios. Good water amount for a base layer.

Well that’s some really dense snow. About 4.5” that feels like cement. I see most CoCoRAHS are running like 5-6:1 ratio. The local guy had 0.78” water. No fluff here, sleet and some ZR to make it thick, ha.

1.5-2” on my wife’s car when I got home. Seems dense, I’ll be curious what JSpin gets for ratio.

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.
