wxeyeNH Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Elevation making a big difference around me right now. I changed to very wet snow an hour ago. 34.8F. Actually now that its lighter its going rain back to snow every few minutes. Looking up at the ridgeline behind me the trees are white at the top. Barely make out the top in 1 mile vis snow. Yet looking below me I can see about 6 miles or more so just plain rain around 500 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craziest thing I've seen yet. As I left the resort parking lot, snow went from 1.5" to 0" between 1500-1400ft. Then it changed to rain. Then a few miles later as I'm getting home at 750ft it goes back to snow with a paste on the trees and grass. lookin at the smuggs webcams, all white from village (1100') up the mountain. it seems like they've gotten more snow (little/no grass visible) vs stowe (grassy shots). as much as one can tell from the webcams. something happening on the leeside of Mansfield... seems to have gone all snow in BTV recently. no accum.

Looks like that area is getting decent snows, band doesn't want to budge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Rapidly closing in on the 10" mark for the storm total, 8.5" depth. It's absolute dumpage out there right now as the Froude number must be perfect for my location. Froude has risen a little as the PGF on the backside of the storm has helped to increase the winds as it pulls away to the NE. It was a little lower earlier allowing for the silhouette of the sun to briefly appear through the clouds with much lighter snow. This resulted in some compaction and melting for a bit when temps rose to 33-34° F. Roads were snow covered early this morning before clearing. They are beginning to grease up again now though. What an awesome event! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snywx Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Some pictures from my hood here in western orange county. Snowfall ranged from 2-5" depending on elevation. Elevation in these pics ranged from 800'-1300' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduggs Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 There are going to be widespread 10-20" storm totals in eastern Columbia and Rensselaer counties, the western Berks, and elevated SVT. Some places are already well over a foot. Much of that area is not particularly mountainous and does not typically see big upslope totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I had an inch down in town earlier but now the warm ground has melted it back. Still white but lots of grass blades. Just some more elevation needed. From 1,500-1,800ft is a big difference and there's 5-6" as of an hour ago at 2,000ft and up. Now snowing at all elevations. If you looked at the temps the cold air seemed to come UP the Champlain Valley and hit the west side first so that probably helped them get accums quicker lower down in elevation. Though I still can't figure out how we accumulated so well at 750ft and it struggled so much at 1,500ft but then once you got to 1,800ft it was back to just full on paste job.

klw Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Just measured 5 inches here in Nowich. About 130 I went through town and it was just rain down there. It was really just the last mile coming out to the house that it switched over and was sticking. We maybe had 1.5 in at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
