klw Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 5.9 f with about 3 new inches of snow as I left this morning. i should find my gloves if this winter thing is going to be happening. Trying to remember where everything is packed and shoved away is one of the downsides to redoing some of our floors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 19/8 after a low of 16. Should make it to the upper 20s here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsnowstorm628 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I think we had elements of three types of forcing to help maximize this event. You had the WAA ahead of the wave aloft that would have generated some light mood snows regardless. Then you had the WINDEX like enhancement along the Arctic boundary. Finally, you had the upslope component that lingered well after Arctic fropa. I have to say the local WRFs, although a bit bullish on QPF, were definitely the closest to reality in the end. I think if I had taken our local WRF QPF verbatim two days ago, it would have given me around a foot of snow on the rock pile. Not bad for the far end of its forecast range. Local WRF's, the RPM, and hi-res NAM had a solid 2-4" despite elevation changes. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adk Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 7-Faceshots at stowe. That's my report. Blower. almost 4k of skinning later, I'm at work and can't wipe the smile off my face. This thing was looking JUICY last night as it tapped some lake moisture. Performed stellar! Stoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 How did wildcat do in this event Website says 3" new as of 6:30 this morning. A little surprised they didn't do better than that, even being just downwind of the Presidentials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Smuggs reporting 12 new inches. Not sure if their reports r conservative, neutral, or bdl airport like, but that's I think nestled against the western spine of greens, right where I'd expect to see jpot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 7-Faceshots at stowe. That's my report. Blower. almost 4k of skinning later, I'm at work and can't wipe the smile off my face. This thing was looking JUICY last night as it tapped some lake moisture. Performed stellar!Stoked. Stoked indeed – I measured 18” natural snow depth at the Liftline/National junction at ~2,800’ this morning. I’m not sure how much of that was specifically from this event, but Stowe’s snow report has 7-11” new, so somewhere in there. On top of all the previous snow, there’s more than enough for even steep natural terrain – turns down National were simply bottomless and glorious this morning. The resort is going to have to be on poach patrol during operating hours because people are going to be very tempted to ski alternative terrain. I looked up some of the Vermont ski area snow totals from this morning, the north to south list shows the snowfall trends clearly: Jay Peak: 12” Burke: 8” Smuggler’s Notch: 12” Stowe: 11” Bolton Valley: 9” Mad River Glen: 6” Sugarbush: 6” Pico: 1” Killington: 1” Okemo: T Stratton: 0” Mount Snow: 0” A quick shot from this morning: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew13btv Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I wonder if who wrote that disco is going to receive quite a bit over playful mocking around the office for a little bit. Usually you don't see discos end up being that wrong. Especially when written essentially as the event was underway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I like to lean conservatively, I called it 7-11" but think that's correct as an upper bound (don't have my upper elevation snow plot set up yet off the Gondola). Probably could have said 12" but honestly I'd rather be low than high....it really bugs me when ski areas over-report, so I don't like to get too carried away. 13" past 48 hours and 21" in the last 7 days would make sense as to why J.Spin is finding 18" settled natural snow depth. I've got some great photos from this morning, will post in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Man today's cold has been impressive.... so far since midnight, at Morrisville-Stowe Airport (MVL) the max has been 19F (that was at midnight, the daytime high is 17F) and the minimum was 1F this morning. We almost had our first sub-zero morning but alas couldn't quite make it. Today's high/low: 19/1 Average: 38/21 The midnight high temp was already below our average low...and the afternoon high temp was 4F below the normal low. Pretty impressive cold.

powderfreak Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Some damn cold temps this AM... SLK -4 HIE -1 BML 0 Yeah we made it to +1F this morning at MVL. I had 3F when I left my house at 5am (I honestly thought the car thermometer was wrong, then I looked up the MVL obs and they were identical), and judging by MVL, it dropped another couple degrees prior to sunrise. Bunch of sub-zero stuff just NE of here. The cool thing is you can just about tell the areas that got sufficient new snow (say 3"+) prior to the clearing...the color contours of the coldest temps mirror the spots that got the best snow yesterday.
