Yes, one of the best all day powder days I have had in years. 20” by last chair at Stratton. It snowed so hard it was near white out at times. Out west type day. One I’ll never forget
We were just discussing this at my house. Every time It looked like a break was headed up from the south it would just fill in. My theory is the upslope component is so strong it fills in the gaps of the synoptic snow.
Im impressed your doing so well on the west slopes. I heard downtown Manchester was mainly rain!
So far about 10” of pure cement at 1000’ west townshend SVT. Moderate snow continues, a few more inches here.
The big snow is over 2500’ with an estimated 20” at Stratton for last run. Snowed various levels of SN+ the entire day. Wouldn’t be surprised if 30 is in reach. Elevation and east slope upslope for the win.
Near whiteout at Stratton currently, somewhere in the 16” range up high but hard to tell. This is going to be one of the greats for the southern vt mountains
I’ll be at Stratton today-Sunday. I’ll give you the report later! Not promising at my house at 1,000’ so far with 2” of slop but another 1,000’-2,850’ may do wonders
This one screams SVT. The good thing about Stratton is top elevation is 3850’ higher then anything south of Killngton. I’m on the way up soon. My house is at 900’ though, should be an interesting one there
This is the one to watch for sure. A variety of high impacts not just snow. Coastal flooding and beach erosion on a level we haven’t seen in years. We have had a long run of swell and resultant erosion already this month, including this current storm.
I’m on the same page. We really need water temps to cool to start getting the coast in the game. Like bluewave has been saying, anytime there’s a primary in the Midwest the winds ahead of any transfer will torch the coast.
Exactly. I made sure to get on it early today. First few runs were great with natural snow falling at Stratton. Finally felt like winter. By 1030 it was scraped off and I called it a day
Driving back from Vermont the rain snow line was just NE of the Ct Ny border
one thing I did notice is the tops of the 57th street super talls looked to be obscured in snow above 800-1000’ I wish we had a station on top of the Nordstrom tower at 1550’. Probably be a few inches up there from this
Agreed, that’s gotta be the least chance of verification snow map of all time. I guess it’s seeing confluence causing the lesser totals to the NE. Highly highly unlikely.
Agreed, as long is we stay low amplitude in any direction we can get it done. Track will be key anything tucked will torch the coast as coastal waters are still in the 50s
To me this makes perfect sense given global warming. Reduced arctic sea ice means a lag in northern hemisphere cooling. Throw in record offshore water temps and it’s a recipe for delayed winter. I think this just intensifies in the future. I have no problem tossing the first half of December. Given the long range forecast at least we aren’t looking at a 01/02 style warm ratter .
Yeah but with this setup suppression is more of a worry then inland runners.
with that pattern I just don’t see how we don’t score at least one 6”+ event area wide. It may be several events with different areas doing better then others. But we all end up with at least one warning event.
this might be our first white Christmas at the coast in ages
