Then Feb 10-March 12 featured 4 major storms and some littl'uns for a 60" period total and 94" (105% of avg) for the snow season. Only 9" OG on 2/9 but up to 35" on 3/12. The board included a member from Fort Kent then and he posted pics showing snow halfway up ground floor windows. 5 hours ago, alex said: Set up an ice skating rink for my kids and guests today.

Saw a few flakes which was nice, Im a few miles to the NW of him. Im going to figure this out exactly for science as I know where he is and man things will be different. Right now my guess is a about 4.5 miles NW. TOTAL guess. He's SW of the res and im due east of it almost dead center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I received a phone alert that we’re going under a Winter Weather Advisory tonight, so I’ve added the latest BTV NWS maps below. The point forecast here suggests something in the 4-8” range for snow accumulation through Thursday, with 5-10” or so in the higher elevations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I agree with the BTV maps. I think mid-level and low-level thermal concerns will lead to less than 10:1 ratios. 0.40-0.80" SWE to 3-6", local 8" at summit level. Then colder thermals, better snow growth, and less moisture but adds 1-3" snowfall with snow showers into Thursday. These maps make sense given the overall look and evolution of snow types. From synoptic round one: Adding in meso-scale round two over a couple of days worth of snow showers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some lake streamers that look like they could enhance it, but still looks like a stretch Yeah I would think 12-18" is a bold call. Tomorrow is going to be dense either way. There's just not much chance of good snow growth, maybe aggregates from warmth? But usually just cold enough, with warm air advection aloft, is a higher density snow. The actually amount of snowfall in inches isn't as important as the total amount of frozen QPF in my opinion. There will be some higher ratio fluff on Thursday, but hard to forecast anything near 12-18" even up at Jay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appraised a house in the town next to me last winter and they had a huge rink, probably about twice the size of the one's pictured. Both his kids are really good hockey players so they take it seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 00z GFS highlighting the central/northern Greens through Thursday. Lower ratios than this will lower amounts but it'll be a nice period of wintery appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PF, where do you go to get BTV NWS 72-Hour Snowfall Forecast maps like that? Those sort of longer duration maps would be great for around here with the way we get so many of those multi-day events. What you’ve posted is a perfect example with back side snow showers possible with this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Base of mountain is around 4”. I think generally 3-4” around Stowe right now? I saw about 6” on the Mansfield Stake, so 5” from this up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
