  1. 7.5" as of 8:30 pm. Just getting nuked! Not good snow growth (10-12:1 type stuff), since DGZ is quite high from WAA.
  2. 3.7" as of 5:15 pm. Just pounding snow and radar looks great upstream too.
  3. Dumping...+SN, ~2" new. Probably 1.5-2" per hour now. 17.4° F. It's go time!!!!
  4. 3.1" of slop from the great coulda, woulda, shoulda storm of November 2019. 1.5" on the front end overnight last night than a bunch of freezing rain and rain then back to another 1.6" of snow on the backside. Over an inch of liquid from this, so a little colder in the 800-900 mb layer and boom this would've been a solid foot of snow here. 5" depth on the ground.
  5. Crap-o-rama looks to be en route here tomorrow. No cold high to the north, FTL. A month from now you can get away without a cold high to the north more often, but this early in the season it can be tough even here to get a good snowstorm without it unless if midlevel forcing is enough to dynamically flip things to snow. NAM is warm between 800-900 mb and Euro too although I can't see soundings from it. HRRR looks like isothermal pasting but it's still beyond it's useful range. Freezing rain to wet snow is what I think here, 2-4". Hopefully the freezing rain won't accrete too much, but with heavy rain and surface temperatures at or just barely below freezing I don't think it'll be too bad as the water will drip off before it can freeze.
  6. 3.4" of wet snow this morning. Winding down now. Started as 0.4" of rain at 31-32° F, but it didn't accrete. Flakes were huge for a bit this morning as the best lift and snow growth came through. Photo from just before 8 AM.
  7. 2.7° F this morning. Absolutely glorious!!! The radiators will really mount up tonight. Widespread subzero temps in NNE's cold spots tonight?
  8. 1.0" snow, 0.17" liquid equivalent snow and rain. Underachiever, but I wasn't expecting much to begin with. I may go down to near 0° F tonight, which is incredible for this early in the cold season.
  9. Enjoy it up north folks. Maybe a get a couple of inches on the backside tomorrow morning, but this is not a S VT storm. Watching the potential for some freezing rain down here later today and tonight.
  10. 1.4" total. Still some random flurries dancing around. Winter has arrived...
  11. Steady snow and 32.6° F with a slushy coating on the grassy surfaces. It was cold rain occasionally mixed with mangled flakes much of the day, but it finally made the transition to all snow about an hour ago. 0.25" of rain before changeover.
  12. Anything less than 100" is a ratter in my books. The ratter of all ratters in these parts was without a doubt '15-'16. I'll gladly take another '11-'12 any day over that year. Last winter wasn't bad with ~150", but I would've happily swapped November for December. Novie was crazy, December stunk, January after the first week was okay, February and March meh at best.
  13. Shot this about a week ago on the lane beside my property before the big windstorm took almost all of them down. Just a few stragglers left now on the Beeches and Aspens. The golden yellows of the Norway Maples are coming out in the valleys with the mostly bare hills all around.
  14. Sell. Maybe a slushy coating or an inch if it goes over to snow at all, which I'd consider a win this early in the season.
  15. I'd say we're just about at peak here. Not sure what this talk about muted colors is all about, it's gorgeous here. Lots of reds and oranges again this year.
  16. Almost peak here above 2K in S VT. Should peak within the next few days. Nice color, but still some greens while a few of my red maples are starting to go past peak already. Last year it seemed like everything changed at once and then dropped at once.
  17. What's happened to this forum? I remember it having a cold, snow bias pretty much all the time. I guess I'm still one of the hardcore old school cold and snow lovers on here. I'd slam the button for a -12 anomaly every month of the year without hesitation and for >200" snow each winter.
  18. Full on moderate color happening here now. Lots of reds emerging. We're about a week ahead of last year at this time, which peaked October 5th-8th. Took these with my drone earlier today.
  19. Wow, congrats! 9/10 is not at all early for your first subfreezing low there, correct? I recall you getting frost/freeze in June, July, and August in past years. You radiate really well. 49.1° F low here. It clouded up overnight, so not much drop. I can't radiate, but I've had lots of 40s at night and the leaves are definitely starting to turn. Low diurnal temperatures and CAD dominate here.
  20. 1.34" through the tipper today. Quite a good soaking, but not enough to cause problems. Meanwhile everything is so beautiful after a fresh rainfall at the height of the green season. I stopped at the peat sphagnum bog a short walk from the house. It looks solid, but I wouldn't dare walk on it. I bet those dwarf red spruces are a lot older than their size would suggest.
  21. 4.5" of fluff on the board this morning. Not bad. Depth at my stake (in the shade) is 38-39". It was sunny an hour ago, but now we're cloudy with some light snow grains that aren't showing up on radar. This is probably a weak orographic response on the backside. Congrats to the SNE crew! This was supposed to be our storm 2-3 days ago, but you took this one right out from under our feet.
  22. Solid moderate snow with dendrites, 25° F. Looks like around 2" new. Nice little 700 mb frontogenesis band FTW.
  23. 25.9° F, moderate snow. Good snow growth. The high was 29.4° F and the 0.6" I had from last night didn't really melt at all. The radar looks decent. That band running through BGM may translate up here, which would be good. I still don't think I get much more than 4-5" though.
  24. +SN, 23° F. 11" of upslope, 7" from the storm yesterday.
  25. I do accept the higher totals from Wilmington over to Jacksonville, Halifax, etc. as they caught that band that I and Woodford narrowly missed yesterday. I don't always buy some of the WeatherNet6 reports, especially Woodford's. Sometimes Woodford's reports are more in line with totals around here, but other times they are not and this is one of those cases where it is most certainly not. My two week total is ~80", so there's no way Woodford has had that in the past week.
