I noticed at 4pm Brian had only a couple of tenths of snow when I had over an 1".   Couple of hours ago I drove to Bristol which is probably 600 feet lower than me.  Hardly snowing.  Drove back up the hill and the snow was coming down much harder.  Wonder in low dewpoints if snow sublimates that fast especially with such small flakes?

I made two additional rounds of observations today for the snow from Winter Storm Neptune; details are below:

 

Details from the 1:00 P.M. Waterbury observations:

 

New Snow: 0.6 inches

New Liquid: 0.04 inches

Snow/Water Ratio: 15.0

Snow Density: 6.7% H2O

Temperature: 17.2 F

Sky: Flurries

Snow at the stake: 19.0"

 

Details from the 10:00 P.M. Waterbury observations:

 

New Snow: 0.5 inches

New Liquid: 0.05 inches

Snow/Water Ratio: 10.0

The latest advisories and projected accumulations maps are below – there's not much change in the projected accumulations for this area, but we'll certainly have to get some additional snow to get into that range.

Equipment? Only equipment I'm worried about is my nose freezing off. I'm going to head out in about an hour but have a feeling this will be a short lived ski day.

Bolton is very prone to wind hold and Timberline is on wind hold this morning (the best part of the resort IMO).

Not sure I've ever seen a bust like this. Was under a blizzard warning for Sunday morning with 14-18, 24 hours ago and this morning have a half inch, brilliant sunshine and light winds. Incredible.

I feel your pain, we deal with busts like that in the tropics often..then again when we see a tstorm coming off Africa the Atlantic action thread starts lighting up with conjecture, lol
