dendrite Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 MAV has sucked on the big cold rad nights up here lately, but regardless, here's the 12z MAV mins for tomorrow AM... HIE -11F LEB -8F BML -6F IZG -5F 1V4 -4F VSF -3F MPV -2F HUL -2F CON -1F EEN -1F AFN -1F MVL -1F SFM 2F LCI 6F BTV 6F PWM 8F MHT 8F Some of those don't pass the smell test (LEB vs BML), but regardless it looks like a damn cold night shaping up. The MET and 2m temps aren't much warmer than those MAV numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Very nice! Its gotten heavier since then... here's a zoomed in look but we are 1/4sm or less as I can't see any of the trees behind the base lodge. This has quick inch written all over it.

powderfreak Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Your typical November evening in C NH with a deep, glistening snowpack. image.jpg Nice dude...what's your snow depth at? Mine's settled to like 7-8", which makes sense given we had around 2/3rds of an inch of QPF and I've found snow tends to settle out to 10:1 in the end. Really though, out on the mountain today we were all talking about how its just Thanksgiving weekend. It feels and looks like it should be X-mas. I've had more snow this November at 750ft than I had last January...its hard for Novie to beat January so handily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 I just got home a little bit ago, and although there was like 3-4" at the mountain, the event total at my house in the village was 1.1". Blocked flow causing a sharp cut-off on the east side. Like within 2 miles of leaving the office the new snow started rapidly decreasing. That's part of J.Spin's benefit where he is on the spine, as he gets the west and east slope events. Over here and on the west slope, it varies depending on the type of event. But if you are right on the Spine like the ski areas and J.Spin, you tend to do well no matter the set-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Per usual the Greens and Whites are doing a simply fabulous job of keeping every snow squall and flurry away from me About 1 1/2" of powder last night. A friend of mine near Lake Winni just got his power back. He said his condo complex took a huge hit with the trees. Arn't white birch native to NH? They seem to always do poorly in wet snow and if they bend bad enough they don't come back. Here is a picture he took of the condo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 My dad called to say our generator died. They fixed all the downed wires along our street, except for one that was kind of hard to see, and then immediately left. My dad just went looking for them to manually report it and/or offer bribes.

I went out in it to fill the feeder and I'd say it's still about 10-11". Getting some -SHSN now with BKN skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Just about 5pm and my temp is barely drifting down. 22.8F I would doubt I would even see 10F. I'm guessing 14F. Greens are not doing their job 100% right now as flurries in the air. Getting dark but Im about 50% cloud covered so maybe when it clears I will drop quicker.

Yeah, a little better along the spine today with 1.8" from the day's activity, but indeed getting in on events from both sides is typically what gives us that extra boost in annual snowfall. The snowpack has settled since the big storm, but it's currently at 9" with today's activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yeah, a little better along the spine today with 1.8" from the day's activity, but indeed getting in on events from both sides is typically what gives us that extra boost in annual snowfall. The snowpack has settled since the big storm, but it's currently at 9" with today's activity. I'd imagine you are getting some more now, too... radar won't quit, haha. Streamer down the Winooski Valley between the mountains, and we keep getting blow over from the mountain. At times the air is just thick with huge fluffy dendrites but they don't fall all that fast...just float lazily to the ground. Then it moves out and goes back to flurries, then another 3-5 minute burst will move through. The main moisture feed seems aimed at Stowe/Smuggs, so may have some more snow to measure for the ski area in the morning. Its these types of little events where you notice the difference between the mountains north of 89 vs those south of I89. And although the radar isn't reaching to Jay Peak, I have a sneaky suspicion it may be dumping up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yeah Ginxy...doesn't feel like November out there. More like mid-winter. Jay Peak had some nice shots from this morning...upslope spots doing their job today, I know Bretton Woods is also in that NW upslope zone. Jay is reporting around 30" in the past 7 days. That's excellent; I've updated the north to south listings for the Vermont ski areas with accumulations reported as of this morning – it was generally the northern 1/3 of the state that got the additional snow. The first number is the 24-hour accumulation and the second number is the 48-hour accumulation. Jay Peak: 4”/17" Smuggler’s Notch: 3”/11" Stowe: 2”/14" Bolton Valley: 4”/16" Mad River Glen: 0”/14" Sugarbush: 1”/13" Pico: 0”/12" Killington: 0”/12" Okemo: T/12" Bromley: 0”/12" Stratton: 0”/13" Mount Snow: 0”/14" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had more snow this November at 750ft than I had last January...its hard for Novie to beat January so handily. Except when compared to an extraordinarily snowless Jan - 1/2014 ranks 121st out of 122 Januarys at Farmington. The 17" at my place is 3.3 times what I measured last Jan, and the most I've had in Nov since 1983, in Ft. Kent. Still 10-11" deep here, trees remain loaded, at least down where I have to walk amidst them. Deer trails from last night and this morning all over the east part of our woodlot. I, of course, hunted the west part this morning. One day remains. A friend of mine near Lake Winni just got his power back. He said his condo complex took a huge hit with the trees. Arn't white birch native to NH? They seem to always do poorly in wet snow and if they bend bad enough they don't come back. White birch are among the most aggressive species for growing toward sunlight (rather than against gravity), and so are often well out of perpendicular even before storm effects, thus increasing their vulnerability. They also have relatively fine twigs, offering more ice/snow targets than on coarse-twig trees like ash. White birch frequently hybridizes with the weaker gray birch, another grow-to-the-light tree and one with even finer twigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 1.8" when I measured at 3 this afternoon. Snow still coming down. Sweet! I had a little more than half that in this part of town on the Mtn Road. But it's snowing pretty good right now, at least 1/2" per hour as I'm up to an additional 1.0" since 3pm...with 2.1" on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
