powderfreak Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Today's accumulation on my car at outside the office. Snowed all day but anytime it came down heavy it turned to graupel. Very low ratio stuff. There was 1-1.5" up higher when I came down in the snowcat around 3pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did have a lot of trouble sticking to the snow-free ground despite temps mainly below freezing...probably the sun angle over the warm ground ;).

alex Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Snowing nicely at Bretton Woods, looks like 1/4" maybe? Not home till tomorrow so just checking through the webcam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Event totals: 0.1” Snow/0.05” L.E. The BTV NWS says that our current precipitation is from a weak upper disturbance embedded in northwest flow, and this will go down as the second accumulating event for the month here. It looks like it snowed at the house most of the day based on what I saw on the Web Cam, and there was snow and graupel on the snowboards hitting the 0.1” mark when I did 5 PM observations. The rain gauge held 0.05” that fell since it was emptied this morning. That northwest flow was still going strong at observations time: With the way things were cycling through accumulating and melting today, I’m sure a few tenths of an inch of snow could have been measured, but the tenth of an inch I found should be sufficient to represent the day’s accumulations. Similar accumulations have been occurring this evening, and again I’ll plan count just one round in the next set of observations unless we get something more substantial. Details from the 5:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 0.1 inches New Liquid: 0.01 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 10.0 Snow Density: 10.0% H2O Temperature: 38.5 F Sky: Light Snow/Graupel (2-4 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: Trace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Yeah J.Spin, snow and graupel has been falling fairly steadily up this way. Definitely a tenth or two of slushy accumulation on the deck and car...nothing on the warm ground. Quite slippery on the deck actually, haha, almost ate it hard heading down the stairs. Brief break right now but can still hear graupel falling lightly, with more moisture building in from the northwest so we should see another pulse up here in the next hour.

adk Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Just too windy for the good snow to develop. Gonna be grapple till this pulse ends. Classic case of that windy graupel falling all day and blowing into the netherworld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Event totals: 0.3” Snow/0.09” L.E. The cyclonic flow and associated disturbance that produced the recent rounds of snow in the area are expected to weaken today according to the BTV NWS forecast discussion, so we’re getting to the end of this event. There’s still been snow coming down this morning though, so whatever I find this evening will get rolled into this current event. Details from the 6:00 A.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 0.2 inches New Liquid: 0.04 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 5.0 Snow Density: 20.0% H2O Temperature: 34.3 F Sky: Flurries/Graupel Snow at the stake: Trace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 8.25" for the month in Pittsburg...more like the week. Wish we lived there. They must be a weenie spot when there is blocked flow because the best terrain is just SE of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Above 2500 feet I think that front end thump of snow will be really heavy. 6-8" certainly possible. Yeah, the initial discussion I saw a few days ago seemed to focus on a bit of front end snow going to rain, but that really appears to be with regard to the lower elevations. It was hard to resolve this relative to what Roger Hill mentioned in one of his forecasts this morning, where he talked about a lot of snow potential, but I think this excerpt from the BTV NWS forecast discussion gets at it: Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Burlington VT 744 AM EDT Wed Oct 26 2016 .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 418 AM EDT Wednesday... All in all impacts from this event are very limited at the surface, with any snow on the front side of the system only a dusting to perhaps 2", and any downslope winds along the western slopes Thursday night limited to 20-30 mph as the timing of max winds aloft coincide with the heaviest precipitation occurring. That said, it will be a different story across the higher peaks above 2000 feet where thermal profiles still support storm total accumulations in excess of 6" to up to as much as a foot of heavy wet snow through Friday.

In which case he is on a hill immediately west of the First CT Lake ~1800-1850. There isn't much to the east of route 3 once you get north of Lake Francis other than logging roads/seasonal camps.

backedgeapproaching Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 First T in the books, nothing on radar but have been getting on and off graupel/sn showers this AM. Todays T now matches my entire MAR 16 total of a T To be fair, I did have 2 traces reported in March 16, so OCT has some work to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's several hundred feet higher than the small downtown which I think is around 1600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Steady snow/graupel here in Winooski as of this post that is enough to dust the rooftops, cars, and a little on the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 We’ve actually got snow falling here in Burlington now as well – you can see this latest push of moisture on the radar, so I guess this event isn’t quite over yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wx2fish turned me onto that site as he goes up there quite a bit. I never knew how much of a weenie spot that area is. You know it's cold and snowy, but I had no idea to that level.
