Finally saw flakes at 80' elev in Augusta just before 2, about 3 hours later than I'd expected - tried to stick for a bit but now --SN and no stick.  Off to a forest certification meeting in about 10 minutes, site is about 2 miles north of and same elev as the airport, where it's been snowing since noon, so a short trip into winter.

Hard to say how much at the mountain with the first part... I'd estimate 5-6" of wind packed slabby snow.  

Pretty much all lifts are closed for 60mph gusts rocking the base area...blocked flow is giving us a whole bunch of wind in the lee side.  West side is calmer and stacking the snow much more efficiently.

Classic windy vs no wind difference in snowfall amounts right now from east side to west side.

Snow has just about ended.    Storm total  7".  Another hit to the birch trees.  Just amazing the difference between me and areas south...

I made a 1 minute video clip as the first backside winds started up earlier this afternoon.  Just a quick whiteout with the first NW gusts of wind.  Skip to the 30 second mark to watch what happens.

8" new snow with moderate upslope snow continuing. Snow was very wet earlier, but it's drying out now. 

Roads are treacherous around here with chain requirements for trucks on route 9 between Wilmington and Bennington. In fact, it looks to be closed in Woodford currently. 

Mitch , do you have a seasonal total calculated

You guys are having the types of storms I had last year. Cement bombs

Yesterday I did my snow survey at the base area and found 26" of settled depth at 1,500ft with 6.5" of water in it. 

Settled snowpack should easily be 3 feet in the base area of the mountain by the end of this.

If I were you I’d walk thru the woods and toss some fiber gummies to the NW
