Still awaiting the precip (rain) on the uws. Being about as far NW you can get in NYC isn’t going to help in this one…
-
The next storm could mean major power issues here in southern VT. Trees are just loaded with snow.
-
Snow has finally ended at Stratton SvT. Estimating 12-14”. Very very very good storm for the mountains. -
It’s not often I agree with you but this is spot on. I personally think we do not get the futility record though.
-
Top three day I have ever had at Stratton currently. Just the right amount of powder and a weekday crowd for untouched epic ness!!
-
Somewhere in 10-12” range currently at Stratton. SN+ continues
-
It was more like 8 that went to a heavy rain on the south shore of Long Island. Which would fit this winter.
-
About 5” so far at 900’ SvT. A couple power flickers but still on so far.
-
This is our 1995 repeat, one shot storm in my opinion.
-
That’s was my thinking. Normal people aren’t watching the dual pol and cams obsessively, checking precip types and just assumed 8-10” of snow had fallen not 2” of sleet and 2” of snow. The trees up high are gorgeous with some of the best rime In years
-
Tons and tons of rime above 2k in SvT. The trees are going to have a serious bend after this storm cycle
-
Exactly, the differences can be extreme. I only had a foot at my house at 900’ during the December storm, while above 2k it was 24”+. My favorite snow spot in the area is on 30 by the old snow valley resort. When I look to buy up here eventually it will be in that area. Overall this looks like a good one here, after the warm air aloft crushed hearts and dreams with round one.
-
Had to have been a record crowd yesterday at Stratton. I have never seen cars parked for a mile down some of the access roads. And of course with the crowds everything skied off quick. Ended up having less snow and more sleet then forecast with the first storm. On to round 2.
-
Staying up in southern Vermont for this one. Absolutely worth a vacation day. Currently flurries with a coating that fell over night at Stratton, which should be in a very good spot for this.
-
Based on low level wind flow temps along the coast will be in upper 30s as precip moves in. So even if there is snow falling from colder air aloft, your going to need some heavy rates to get anything to accumulate. It will be a rates driven scenario, light snow and warm surface temps aren’t going to cut it.
-
Interesting, i work at Columbia a couple blocks from the parks and we had a very solid coating on all colder surfaces, so the park did as well.
-
Even if the park does manage a coating don’t expect it to be measured. We absolutely had a coating during the December event, I have pics to prove it, and it wasn’t recorded.
-
Townsend VT? I’ll be at my house in west Townsend VT later until Monday. Sleet was the big issue with round one. Hopefully round 2 produces.
-
Minus being overweight, pretty much me… Historically it was never a 100% chance you were going to get a ton of overtime ever winter, but even the 80s had several events requiring snow removal each winter.
-
A strong nino actually isn’t what you want. 82/83 and 15/16 lucked out with one big storm. 97/98 is more typical of what to expect with a strong nino. What you want is a weak to moderate nino.
-
97/98 made it to March with .5”. There will still be blockbuster winters in the future, but also allot of these everything goes wrong years as well. We were always on the border of a true snow and winter region New England and the paltry mid Atlantic. Unfortunately we are moving into their zone, where duds are just part of the deal.
-
A good snowy winter could mean doubling my annual salary in overtime. That’s a serious hit. Luckily for me I have other projects I work on to supplement when it isn’t going to snow. I have friends who do snow removal privately and the only way to make that work anymore is to sign contracts ahead of time. That, then comes with the risk we have a blockbuster winter. Which in my opinion will still happen moving forward. Feast or famine is the new snow reality in our area.
-
The guys a legend for a reason. I have allot of respect for the fork!
-
What a disaster of a winter. I’m not saying I’m going to starve because it hasn’t snowed but for those of us that have financial ties to snow this hurts. Snow removal = overtime for thousands of workers and business for many small businesses. You really can’t rely on it like you could in the past.
-
Main thread is pretty funny right now. Liberty has a conversation with himself, with occasional gloating from snowman (it’s his winter can’t deny it) and the occasional Metsfan looking for hope. I will say at least no ones beating each other up, NE forum is fully of the rails.
