Just when I thought I was done, the models (18z HRRR shown) offer up some considerable flakeage here tomorrow night. A potent inverted trough rotating in from the N, along with a strong cross barrier flow and a veering wind profile (W at surface to NE aloft) could result in some significant upslope rippage along the spine of the Greens. I suspect it'll be rain here before going to non-accumulating snow and then to sticking snow that yields up to 2-3" of accumulation on grassy surfaces as the temperatures drop. The summits of Mt. Snow and Stratton could walk away with 6-10" if trends hold.

West wind at surface under a NE wind aloft will crush the west side of the crest.  That’s a classic highly blocked flow... @backedgeapproaching might be white tomorrow morning too?  I’d be surprised if that wind profile allows for enough propagation eastward to Mt Snow and Stratton?  Isn’t the spine down there more like Woodford?  Guess I’ll have to look at the sounding, but it’ll depend how far up in the atmosphere you go until that west wind backs NE... because it’s hard to get the upslope band to work west when fighting NE flow above it.

I was thinking the same thing today. Ya he’s struggling big time...pushes his dry agenda at the expense of any type of accuracy.  You hate to see it. 

No one was discussing Thursday . It was the convection that missed . BTW.. how much total rain have you had this week after Sunday? Asking for a friend

He has no clue what’s going on here. Drops in for 3 minutes twice a week and thinks he understands what happened. The convection discussion was thru Wednesday night 

You don’t need to be here all day, Like you are, to know what’s going on. You, obviously never really know what’s going on..period.
 

All you do is push BS constantly.  Besides Wiz, We all know what you’ve been saying all week.  Arguing with Ginx about convection vs synoptic.  now you’re back pedaling as usual...we know your game. Same ol same ol. 
 

.4  here today and it was all synoptic.  Plenty wet and rainy today. You can twist all you want. 

No drought. No dryness here... Go find Stein and  have an IPA together.

It doesn't go NE until above 500 mb and low level winds are robust, so I suspect blocking will be minimal. NAM has a pronounced inversion near 850 mb (HRRR a bit less so), which is above mountain top level so I expect snow will make it over the spine a bit with the heaviest near the crest. Typically an inversion near or below 900 mb will result in a more blocked flow whereas unblocked flow will have a higher inversion or none at all.

I just looked at 6 stations in Southington. You absolutely 100% did not have .40 of rain today since midnight. That is a downright lie . I see .10-.22 there . Stop the BS

That was about WEDNESDAY...not Thursday. Kevin absolutely said nothing about today being convective. People need to go back and re-read the exchange and convo about that...it's 10000% obvious he was talking about Wednesday.

Subcritical flow is not good normally for Stratton and Mt Snow.   If its' really blocked the Taconics can trap the heavier stuff up by me and even Washington County NY can score a few inches and even block the good stuff from me on the Green's western slope.  We aren't usually totally shut out even really blocked flow, but can limit maxing out on accum.   Woodford normally is OK in any flow, the Taconics open up down by Bennington and the elevations are lower just to the north so the precip can bank up into there.  Been a few times where Bennington itself has had more than up by me in Manchester when really blocked.

I see Mitch just chimed in with some sounding stuff, so looks like it may make it to Stratton and even Mt Snow possibly.

He was arguing about a totals map through Saturday.

No it wasn’t. I was specifically talking about the convective portion which was only thru Wednesday. 
Now, if you want to say that and change what the original conversation was about  then ok.. include today’s synoptic rain.. post map prognosis in CT and verification

All 6 states néed rain as we hit summer season May 1. Everyone is running a deficit. We’ll see what the convection does the next 36 hours. See if Jerry’s and Ginx’s 1-3+ works out for everyone. It could if the storms hit 

Convection didn't do much but synoptic is laying it down.
