kwt Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Looks like there's been a very good snow event for those in the western part of the band. I personally really enjoy the storms that start as rain and then change to snow and settle halfway through, its even more of a surprise to people when that happens overnight.

klw Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Getting some sleet here at the moment. Looks like quite a bit of snow out there but drifting may make a good measurement difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 AWT. Jackpot may be up through the Dacks and near BTV or just se in the mtns. I wonder if Vim Teets get some sleet. Definitely got some sleet here last night--and a fair bit of it by the sounds of the pings ringing off the skylight. And, by the looks of the deck this morning as I flip on the floodlight. Sleet/snow mix as I type. It was snowing last night when I went to bed and we were up to 3" or so but the sleet made inroads sometime in the wee hours. Haven't done any measuring or melting yet--need coffee first. 28F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Well can't say I'm disappointed in the fail considering I was only hoping for some ZR after 6z. I'd be more disappointed if I lived in LEB. Like I said last night...it looks like elevations above 1000ft did well with icing. Here it was just a cold rain. 33.8F right now with -RA. 2.26" storm total so far from the Davis.

dendrite Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Nice deformation band near MSS right now. Funny how the 18z models yesterday shut MSS out for wave 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Looks like an ice jam somewhere on the ct river? Take a walk down to the ball bridge, that is if you have steel ones. haha Ha-ha, the ball bridge--love it. I know someone else who calls it that to. It'll be an interesting ride into Hanover later this morning--where the precip type lines set-up, river levels, etc. I was pooping. It ain't over till the paperwork is done. the other, well... he just chills attm - Tuck alum) Head-hunting, cut-throat charlatans, the lot of 'em!

We dont need any power outages, so hopefully there is no more freez rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much glazing occurred above say, 1000 feet around these parts. The trees are fairly laden with ice this AM, and I figure there would be more in the hills.

Lost River was getting pounded with FZRA before it crapped the bed. The obs out of MWN over the last 24hrs are pretty cool too.http://www.uswx.com/us/stn/?code=c&n=30&stn=KMWN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adk Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Dawn Patrol Skier reported to me at least 18 inches along east facing slopes of the Greens above 2500 feet and still snowing hard. Also- and this is great news which I'd love PF to confirm- they reported that since the heavy snow fell before the ground had a chance to freeze up, there is little to no crust from the rain and thaw...that's AWESOME and really sets up the snowpack for a wonderful spring. The ADK is BURIED. The Misses is in Keene Valley today and reported 16-20 already in the High Peaks with absolute hammering snow currently. Fascinating storm...just wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I had 14" NEW at 800ft in the village and same amount here at 1,500ft. Groomers are reporting 17-20" top of mountain over 2,000ft above me. It is dumping, 1.5" in the past hour since I got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trees are fairly laden with ice this AM, and I figure there would be more in the hills. No glazing here at 1200'. Nothing but snow & sleet after the turn-over. Just took a measurement and we picked up 6.7" of a very heavy snow/sleet conglomerate. Turning over to more straight-up snow as I type.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 It is hard to describe how hard it is snowing right now... thick snow fog. I have no doubt we hit 18" in the lower elevations... probably within in the next couple hours. This is amazing... it looked like armaggedon coming up the road this morning.

red Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 32.4 and raining. Temp dropped from 32.5 1hr ago. Avoiding major icing by a few degrees. Just a fragile coating of ice on the trees and cars. Goodbye snow pack it was nice knowing you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Haven't been outside for a measurement yet but it looks like 13 - 14 inches so far and still coming down. Just found out that there is a delayed opening for work, 9:45. If my plow guy hasn't been here by then, I won't be going in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherEmperor Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Downtown Burlington VT is absolutely walloped with snow right now. I wish I could find observations, but this is easily the most snow I've woken up to this season. It looks like there is 1.5-2.0 feet of snow out there, with drifts as high as my chest in some spots, though I'm not sure if that's because of plowing. Cars are stuck everywhere, I can hear them trying to get out and failing... Also it is snowing very heavily still here. And I hear sirens everywhere...not sure why....

CoastalWx Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 CAR may get close to mixing with IP, but areas just west could get crushed. It'll be interesting to see if Toot, taints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt we hit 18" in the lower elevations... probably within in the next couple hours. This is amazing... it looked like armaggedon coming up the road this morning. Similar reports from some friends who ventured out today in the Stowe region. Apparently it was armegeddon in the High Peaks yesterday...Cars just everywhere and massive ice jam flooding.... DEC is prob. still performing rescues of people stuck by blown out bridges and heavy snow deep in the High peaks. If there was 3ft+ in/around Lake Colden I'd not be surprised. It NUKED there all night. Same as Nor. VT...just insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borderwx Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yessir, had to use all 23 horses for this one, in the wind exposed areas it was 18 or so, wind loaded was easy 24+, of course that was 40 mins ago and we have picked up over an inch since I started, mean storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I have no doubt we hit 18" in the lower elevations... probably within in the next couple hours. I’d say you are right on track with that Scott, we were at 16.7” as of my 6:00 A.M. report for CoCoRaHS, and looking at what’s on the snowboard from the past hour, we’re getting close to 18” total. I’m putting together my report right now and I’ll post that in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 OK, numbers and measurements accounted for. What a wild 24 hours. 2.02" of total liquid, 0.67" fell as rain, the remainder is locked up in snow/sleet. Had a lot of sleet here with the snow. 6.7" of snow/sleet (1.45" LE). Started the day yesterday with 27" at the stake, went down to 25" with the rain and warmth and now back up to 31". All in one day! Seasonal total now at a cool, crisp and oh-so-close, 98" even. Oh boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
