I'm starting to think this could go fairly decent. Most models are putting around a half inch of QPF in the area of central/northern VT, with more along the Spine. It could be sneaky snowy heading into Wednesday AM. Getting a little snow here today. Tomorrow looks pretty good and agree it may go into Wednesday. Models also starting to sniff another weak fast mover diving down on Christmas Day. Fast flow ftw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted Monday at 09:08 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:08 PM Nice midwinter day here in Burlington. Light snow for the last 3+ hours with at least a couple more hours upcoming. Highs in the low 20's. Will be a nice "commute" home to Charlotte at 5pm. Edited to add: IMG_6849.mov 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted Monday at 11:11 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:11 PM Also, this high-res Canadian panel tomorrow night has me salivating. This would be a crushing from 2am to 8am... with 850mb temps falling to -12C, great snow growth, serious upslope moisture. This would be a pummeling for the ski areas. Curious how this clipper works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted yesterday at 03:01 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:01 AM At some point during the day today Alexa alerted me that we’d been put under a Winter Weather Advisory, and it looks like the BTV NWS advisories start up at 7:00 A.M. tomorrow morning and cover a good chunk of the state outside the Champlain Valley. The most recent Event Total Snow Accumulation map shows totals in the 8-12” shading for the higher elevations of the spine around here. Down in the valley our point forecast suggests something in the 5-10” range through tomorrow evening, and the map has us in that next tier of 6-8” shading, so those projections seem to correlate fairly well.

The numbers are probably too borderline for a Winter Storm Warning down here in the valley (the most recent update is more like accumulations of 5-8" without yesterday afternoon's snow included), but this is often the way they do it when the more substantial accumulations are localized right along the spine – it’s too small a geographic area to focus the alert. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago The weak mid-level trough that came through the area yesterday dropped about 3” of snow in the valleys around here, and I saw that Bolton Valley was indicating 4” new in their morning report. Combined with the snow from Sunday’s cold front, it seemed like it was time to head up to the mountain and check out how the resurfacing was coming along since the most recent consolidation storm that we had over the weekend. Temperatures were well up into the 20s F and there was no wind, so it was very comfortable out on the mountain, and although it wasn’t snowing, the skies were cloudy ahead of the next incoming clipper system. The Wilderness Lift wasn’t loading until 10:00 A.M., so I started the morning off with a tour up to the ~2,700’ elevation using the Wilderness Uphill Route. Conditions were excellent on Lower Turnpike, with several inches of powder above the old base. Turns weren’t 100% bottomless, but I was probably getting 50% bottomless turns on lower-angle terrain in untouched areas of snow. And even for turns that touched down to the subsurface, the base was nice and soft. I followed up the tour with some lift-served runs, and I can say that moderate and high-angle terrain are nowhere near being resurfaced yet. The new snow was quickly pushed around by lift-served levels of skier traffic, and it’s going to take another inch or two of liquid equivalent to get the high-angle slopes back to something respectably soft for lift-served skiing. There is an increase in powder depth with elevation, and here’s roughly what I found for depths out on the mountain today: 2,000’: 3-4” 2,500’: 4-5” 2,700’: 5-6” 3,150’: 7-8” The best turns were in areas of untouched snow, which were thankfully fairly plentiful ahead of the lift opening, but there’s just not enough liquid equivalent in the surface snow yet in any terrain area to hold up to lift-served skier traffic. The current system affecting the area is even more robust than the last one however, so it certainly should bring the snow surfaces up another notch by tomorrow morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
