eyewall Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Snowing here as well which was surprising considering it began with sfc temps in the low 40's (now upper 30s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Grass and rooftops are whitening up. Yup same here...hoping for a few hours of good steady snow. May be it for the season in the lower elevations below 1,500ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It is hard to tell because it is surface dependent but somewhere between 0.5-1 inch so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Accumulating even on roadways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew13btv Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Man, I just made a round-trip Rutland to Burlington and back this evening. RT-116 and RT-7 southbound were really becoming serious hazards as of 7 pm. 100% accumulating on the roads with zero apparent treatment in place. Was behind a bus for most of the time that had a car start to spin out towards (we were uphill, they were coming downhill with too much speed - you could see their tire tracks from where they lost traction). Could have been a really bad accident. Really think this situation is more dangerous than the garden variety 6-9 inch 24 hour storm as the public had no idea snow was possible this evening.

eyewall Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 2 inches here in Winooski as of 9pm (on the grass). The roads have a greasy coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew13btv Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Bah cell phone picture that pretty much only can be used to confirm the presence of precipitation in Rutland. It is not quite snow not quite sleet not quite graupel. But certainly sticking. Wish winter's last breath at least was an event with excellent dendrite production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 About 1.75" here. Started around 7:00 and by the time I got out of my meeting at 7:45, the ground had completely whitened. I concur with the post above about the roads, very slippery, high water content snow and low visibility make for tough driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Looks great. Might be uninspiring for some in Maine though. At least that's what I am told.The official opening date for my golf course is one week from today, actual opening date? May 1st? Like Dryslot, I am about the pack and besides, even if we had 4 ft on the ground, snowmobile season ends on the 15th. So, other than something truly anomolous. I'm set for snow.

J.Spin Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Event totals: 3.1” Snow/0.23” L.E. The snow definitely started to stick in Burlington toward the end of the day as Eyewall’s pictures demonstrated, but when I got home to Waterbury there wasn’t much going on. At some point after 7:00 P.M. it really started coming down though, because as of 10:00 P.M. there was 3.1” on the board. Details from the 10:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 3.1 inches New Liquid: 0.23 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 13.5 Snow Density: 7.4% H2O Temperature: 31.8 F Sky: Snow (1-12 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 5.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApacheTrout Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 1.75 inches of snow, liquid water 0.47 inches. Looks like there was a period of freezing rain, as the top of the snow contains a 2 mm crust of ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 3.5" of 15:1 powder, bringing the pack to 19", though my evening obs will probably see it back down to 16" again. Accum looked to be only about 2" in some parts of Belgrade, then up to 4.5" in Augusta, with reports up to 6" between there and midcoast. Even a small overperformer is a good way to end the snow season, and it's nice to see the trees prettied up one more time. Might get some semi-frozen at the start of this next system, but slop-to-rain seems likely. After that the cold air looks to be exhausted, at least for a week or more, and with no big rain events showing up (yet), meltoff looks to be low-drama, unless there's ice jams.

Allenson Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 4.5" last night with 0.45" of water in it...now all sitting on the already very muddy road/driveway. Back up to 20" otg at the homestead and 97.4" for the season. Didn't think we'd make a run at 100" when I was sitting in the high 80"s in late March (only 9.6" for that month) but 7.9" so far in April has pushed me pretty close to the triple-digit benchmark. Average here is ~100" for a winter season. So done with this sh*t right now.... Good chance this is the last one for the season but let's not be hasty!

powderfreak Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Eyeballing it I thought around 2" but when I measured it was only 1.7". We had a mini-screw zone here... I was watching it last night on radar as those heavier 30dbz echoes never made it this far north...they seemed to keep sliding just to our south, and this morning's CoCoRAHS confirms that: The Stowe Village CoCoRAHS guy had 1.2", and similar 1-2" amounts on the other side of the Spine. Just south though was getting crushed with 1"/hr yesterday evening. However mere miles to the south it was widespread 4-5" totals. Like literally 3-5 miles away in Waterbury. You win some and you lose some. I'm always fascinated by how localized it can be at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Those Washington County folks stole your snow! quite literally they did. Persistent banding there, while just north we were sucking subsidence exhaust lol. Still looked real nice with the trees all white...but watching radar last night I had a funny feeling that's what was happening.Had only 2.5" or thereabouts at 3000ft so it must've been some mid-level banding subsidence because it didn't seem terrain oriented. Just a low spot in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
