NWS: "Little or no snow accumulation expected"

I’d say half an inch is “little”. Remember, even though this was virtually a snowless winter in your area, it still isn’t South Carolina. 

7” here. 31.6°

7” here. Thank god for the heavy snow. I was concerned about drought this summer with most of the snow pack already melted.

I saw that. Also, a co-conspirator ended up dead. I guess I didn’t realize ASOSs were that vulnerable. 

3.5” and 32°.

The east side of the Spine is getting the QPF during this first part of the system.  SSE flow currently.  Then NNW flow starting later tomorrow.  The NW flow will move the radar echoes to the west side.

This type of flow is where I usually do best. Too bad it wasn’t 2 weeks ago and 10° colder.

Eyeballing 3 inches new, puking dendrites the size of beagles at the moment

13” or 15” beagles?

Maybe two-tenths so far?  It’s an elevation event above 1K.

I went out around 6:00. 1000’ seems to be about right. The valley here is about 800’ and it was white rain. Here at 1250’ we’ve gone back over to all snow after some sleet. 1.5”.

Accidents all over SVT right now, seeing a ton of social media posts.

Yea, roads were crap above 1000’ when I came home about an hour ago. Right now it’s a scalping sleet falling. I’m at 1250’ and looks like about an inch and a half.

Here too in East Montpelier.  Expected at least a bit of rain before changeover, so promising.

More than light here in Barre Town. This is the latest from BTV. 

Snow has begun here. latest from BTV.

Most of the snow will be occurring at night so that will help with accumulations. 
 

This is probably a more realistic map.

 

 

 

 

I have a hard time seeing RUT getting a foot.

You for goodness sakes!  Can't you just let a working man earn a living!

The positive snow depth maps will be much better in this one and it looks like a repeat of some of the early season snows that pounded the elevations, while white rain and 4:1 slop falls under 1KFT here in town.

Ugh. 

I don’t want the 6” that’s depicted there for me.

What is it that lights up the clouds like that? We don’t have that here.

Jeff only wants to see you try, as he has mechanized snow removal tools.

This winter seems to be following the 2005-06 pattern.  That winter we had 45.0" thru Jan 31 and only 7.8" after that.  So far this winter, we had 52.1" thru Jan 31 and only 3.7" since then and the weekend mess getting messier plus continued 10-15° AN temps in the following few days at least.

Soooo, you're saying next year will be like 2006-07?  I'll take it! Started somewhat slow but finished huge.

Maybe becoming a wuss but man today feels cold as shit even though it's not really that cold temp wise.

I was thinking the same.  My high was 41° and most early March days that would feel warm.  Today is raw and cold.

Since this a (loosely) science based forum, here is a real comparison test

yeeesh hate to lose another one ... feels like a changing of the guard. 

Just to make you happy, I reverted back this year.  My snowblower went down with the first wet, heavy snow in December and I never got it fixed.  I don't shovel though, I use a snow scoop.  Much better than a shovel and not much worse than a snowblower.

I need to see if NAVGEM is taken or not.

George will fight you for it. 

40° and rain has got to be the worst possible iteration of a torch.

I salute you. Just beaten down year over year and back for more. Kudos. 

I sort of get it. I’m not good at golf, I topped out at a 13 handicap and last year I had a couple of injuries that set me back.  But I enjoy it and it’s my release in summer. I know I’ll never be a single digit but it’s like a zen thing for me, it my meditation. Ray has mentioned similar feelings about his forecasting.

I appreciate the awe on youtube/twitter but no thanks IMBY. Had to deal with May 18 EF1 and that was enough damage experienced for a lifetime. 
 

I’ll deff chase when the kids get older but keep the worst away from my cocoon. 

None of my posts were meant to touch on the "morality" of weather discussion.  I was only pointing out that Coastal is sounding more and more like DIT.  I was poking at Coastal only.
