Just drowning in powder today.

Awesome

Was moderately dense and a little bit surfy today down here, even some -zl at times.  But really just what the doctor ordered.  Skied well and more importantly skied in well.  By the end of the day the natural had a nice packed down base that sets up great for whatever should follow.  Rocks, stumps mostly buried hopefully for the winter.

Nice quick 1.5 of Jspin 40 to 1 ULL magic 

 

Vermont's got nothing on us.

If I had these ratios yesterday I would’ve had a 40 burger. Prob 25 or 30 to 1 in this if not more.

Usually you would get 15 likes and jealousy. Today most people have seen that going to their mailbox.

Yup!  Awesome to get a widespread storm like that.

Pure champagne powder today. It just has a different feel and sound to it when you pick up a shovel full and toss it.

That’s sweet, those big QPF dumps are key to laying down the base for weeks to come.  Cannot overstate how important it is to have it skied in well like you said.

I bet we’ve averaged 20-25:1 up here.

16” now and I’d wager the models were pretty close with 0.75” water.

It hisses when you walk through it or shovel it.

Pounding dendies 

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Except for a few hours this morning, it has been snowing since 10 AM yesterday.

[ineedsnow]

Radar kind of meh again but absolutely dumping has to be close to 1.5 to 2 inches a hour still

[HIPPYVALLEY]

What a great storm, everybody needed this!

Yeah I think we had 13 to 1 or so yesterday. I thought we may end up better than that, but not surprised either. I remember saying 13 or 14 to 1 is a good default in cold storms where good DGZ crosshair isn’t obvious….

 

Today’s stuff was obvious on model guidance. I was very confident in high ratio fluff for Monday PM stuff but yesterday is a very good example of not going crazy with ratios on a high QPF dump from a prototype SWFE

Coming down nicely here. Moderate snow, 20 degrees.

Maybe I can add on another inch or two to today’s final measurement.

[Ginx snewx]

Dumping again

Pounding fatties. Looks like another 2’’ new or so today. 

That’s it? I think I had 6

[wxsniss]

Sheer beauty out there… snow covered roads, massive piles, huge dendrites falling and rapidly accumulating. Another 2 inches for east areas at least.

Nah no flakes 

[otree38]

Dumping! 

[tavwtby]

so what was the highest jack from this one? I saw a 24.7" in Sterling I think, but nobody else I saw over 22", yet that is.

[Damage In Tolland]

Couple more bands out to the west still to rotate across region but not like that last one 

[Damage In Tolland]

BOS at 20.2.. y’all got a top 10 storm at #10

Looks like those other bands are running out of gas as they swing southeast…
