I haven’t seen any outrageous rates here at the house yet, but thus far this morning there’s been a steady light to moderate snow out there with some large flakes up to 15 mm at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both up for sale obviously since they are in receivership but I think they were trying to sell them separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we had an hour or so of 1"/hr at the ski resort but now the wind has really picked up and with the fluffy snow it's hard to say what accums are exactly. I'd venture 1-2" as a safe bet so far.

I'd venture 1-2" as a safe bet so far. We had a period of small flakes for while this morning, but as of late morning it’s changed over to huge flakes and much more vigorous snowfall at the house. We shouldn’t have any problem hitting the 2-4” in our forecast since we’re already getting close to 3” from the event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Did the flow just become unblocked? We had been having light snow on and off most of the morning and then bam! it started coming down pretty hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Decent snow squall. Temp plummeting down into the low 30s now with the ground trying to whiten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 A good 3-4" at the base of the mountain. My wife says 2-3" at home but take that with a grain of salt, lol. Just crushing winds lately at the mountain. Kids rolling through the base area like tumbleweeds on 50mph gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Not sure how to measure, it's very windy. I'd guess 1.5", based on 1" in spots and 3" in others. Very squally. Also different types of snow mixed together - flakes and pellets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backedgeapproaching Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Little under an inch with some pretty intense graupel/snow mix earlier. Got my backyard cam setup finally so I dont have to rely on my wife's "best guess" when I'm out of town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Snowy day in the upslope region. Near blizzard conditions at times above 1,200ft. Found 4-5" of fake but real looking snow in the parking lots at the end of the day, wind made it impossible to see exactly how much. About half that amount fell at home it looks like, eyeballing at least a couple inches or so. Roads snowpacked and with -SN still falling (plus a lot of blowing and drifting) it feels like a stormy night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Squally but really starting to pile up (haven't measured though). The squalls mean business and the howling wind makes it feel stormier than it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even MVL has been down to 1/2sm SN today at times. Heading home from riding at Stowe today we saw plenty of fairly heavy snowfall. I grabbed a radar shot form a bit earlier and you can just see those streamers blasting across the spine: We had a fantastic afternoon of riding at the mountain as well – I’ll put together some notes and images when I get a chance.

Hitman Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 We skied at Lincoln peak until 1. It was dumping the entire time. Noticed the winds picked up around noon. I don’t know what they’re reporting but there was at least 3-4”. Surprise powder day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Event totals: 3.9” Snow/0.32” L.E. The totals above represent the final values for this event. With about a third of an inch of liquid equivalent picked up down here at the house, and likely more in the higher elevations, it was actually a pretty nice resurfacing storm, especially on top of other recent rounds of snow. It certainly felt that way when we were out at Stowe yesterday. Details from the 6:00 A.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 0.2 inches New Liquid: Trace Temperature: 5.0 F Sky: Mostly Clear Snow at the stake: 12.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 ALY with 2 separate references to "snow piling up" regarding the follow up system. Seems to be a tricky forecast, could be decent,especially for higher elevations Tue night into Wednesday... A second system will be riding on the heels of the first one with an evolving mid and upper level trough over the Great Lakes Region into the Northeast Locations north and east of the Capital Region, especially across southern VT, and the Adirondacks may pile up the snow and may need Winter Head lines with possibly a Winter Storm Watch. For now, we have 1-3" of snow in the lower elevations. Lows Tue night will generally be in the mid 20s to mid 30s. --------------------------------------------------------- The trowal to the system combined with westerly upslope could pile up the snow across the northern most zones again with western Adirondacks and southern Greens benefiting from the orographic enhancement. Additional significant accumulations of snow are possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
