9” here. 110” on the season now. Pretty damn good for all the warmth lol. 

 

Nice.  The 6.5" I've gotten so far puts me at 98.75".  Maybe I can eek out a little more to get to the century mark.

Just confirmed my reservations in Magog, QC. 3:28 in darkness, weather still looks good. About 10 miles from the centerline. Looks like a pretty cool little town. Anybody ever been?

Sort of?  About 35 years ago some friends of mine rented a camp on Joe's Pond in Danville, VT.  We were up there on Friday night doing what 21 year olds do on Friday nights and someone says "Canada isn't that far, let's go!"  We piled into a couple of cars and hit I-91 north.  It's actually 55 miles to the border crossing and then there isn't really anything just over the boarder so we kept going another 25 miles until we hit Magog. Seemed like a nice enough town but couldn't really see much at 1:30 in the morning. I've driven through the area since but haven't really been back to the town.

4.5" overnight, 6.5" total. Still lightly snowing small flakes/grains. 29.4°

I haven’t gone out to measure yet so I may not actually be ahead. That was my guesstimate. 

Official board clearing measurement of 2.0” on the dot. Wind is loud in the trees and snow is light.

You’re a little ahead if me.  Maybe 1.5” but heavy snow now.

I haven’t gone out to measure yet so I may not actually be ahead. That was my guesstimate. 

Eyeballing about 2”. 31.6°

I was hoping to be able to make fun of the GYX onset map but they seem to be a bit more subdued.

A bit easier reading the colors on this map.........

BTV uses those colors too.

Before we get any real obs going...for the love of god, throw out a white piece of wood or even a cutting board for your snow measurements.  

Pains me to see deck railing and driveway measurements (cough cough astro' 'joyer)

Joe blow on facebook? fine, whatever.  You weenies?  For shame.

It’s hard to see but this is my PWS set up. I mounted it on a white board off the corner of my deck using shelving brackets. It’s 7’-8’ off the ground. It’s not perfect but does a decent job. I also have an NWS employee who lives not far from me and I check my measurements with what they report when the PNS comes out. Usually within about a half inch either way. 

BTV had things starting between 6:00 and 8:00pm.  Looked out the window for what appeared to be the first few flakes and then it ramped up to something between light and moderate.

Latest from BTV

anyone want to comment about the storm?

Yes, I don’t want any of it. I’m not expecting my opinion to actually impact anything.

This is ALY’s latest.

Bennington and Windham counties are ALY territory so I don't know if that is the actual BTV forecast or they pilfered it from ALY.

Of course I could just look it up.

BTV's map is more recent.

I think it will be busy.  The town isn't very big.  There are a couple of hotels and restaurants in town but not a lot else.  I think the best place to be might be the State Park and beach on the other side of the lake or the airport.  I've circled both in red below.

I circled the wrong spot for the airport.  Corrected below.

Think Island Pond/Brighton will be busy? Staying at the camp which is a 2 hour drive to there, but I don't want to deal with 93 and the notch, then a slog up to Colebrook. I have a feeling that's where everyone in MA is heading.
