powderfreak Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Wow. Just wow. I should edit but... measured 8.5" of overnight accumulation on my car. Around 14" on the ground. Long duration storm total is somewhere near 18". This is for 800ft in Stowe village. Town is in full blizzard mode... can't see anything out there in heavy falling snow and wind.

powderfreak Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 And if you're fortunate the storm early next week will be a repeat. Yeah this is nuts. It is snowing so hard right now... easily 1-2"/hr stuff and that would explain the 8.5" in roughly the same amount of time last night while I was sleeping. Up here at the mountain there are drifts to 3-5 feet. 12" at the base and 16" at the summit in the past 24 hours is likely quite conservative but its impossible to measure. Groomers are reporting spots of up to 30" in the upper elevations of Mansfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Event totals: 18.0” Snow/0.61” L.E. Tuesday 12/7/2010 6:00 A.M. update: The snow wasn’t falling quite as hard for this last 6-hour interval vs. the previous one, and the fluff factor was up, with the density basically being cut in half. There’s plenty of settling going on with the fluffy snow, there are 11.0 inches at the stake off the 18.0-inch event total. Details from this update are below: New Snow: 3.9 inches New Liquid: 0.06 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 65.0 Snow Density: 1.5% Temperature: 21.6 F Sky: Snow (5-10 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 11.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 This is getting out of hand up here, haha. It is snowing so hard at the mountain with whiteout conditions. Drifts to 5 feet even here in the base area around the lodges and stuff. The tenacity of this heavy snowfall is incredible... like the energizer bunny it just keeps going and going.

wxeyeNH Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Ended up with about 3/4" of an inch. Lots of sublimation yesterday. Snow line runs right between Plymouth and Bristol. Nothing in Bristol. Models did very well in this area with the downsloping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Okay, time to ban you Powderfreak!! This is just not fair! All this teasing of so much snow so close to me. I read from someone on the board that Concord NH has not had more than a trace of snow since last Feb 22. Enjoy your snow. With my luck the big storm for later this weekend will go west flooding me with rain (again). Gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Got my predicted dusting overnight. Radar suggested another dusting, maybe even .1-.2", 7-9 this AM. 06z gfs has about 2" RA and 40s for Sun-Mon; can only hope that changes for the colder. GYX is thinking snow-mix-rain at this rather long distance, so some models must already be colder than that gfs run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Why is there next to no accumulation near Lake Champlain? Downsloping off the Adirondacks. Notice not a flake fell in Plattsburgh, NY on the otherside of the lake. The upslope and wind speed convergence happens closer to the western slopes of the Greens and in the vicinity of the mountains themselves. Friends coming from Burlington to the mountain today indicate a very sharp gradient with only 1-3" in Burlington lake-front...4-6" at KBTV a couple miles inland...then it jumps to 12-24" as you move about halfway through the county. This is very much like the Great Lakes lake effect snow where it can vary quickly between locations. Overall though, the Burlington bedroom communities in Chittenden County outside of the immediate BTV/lake front have picked up between 1-2 feet of snow.

With my luck the big storm for later this weekend will go west flooding me with rain (again). Gene Haha, your time will come, guys! Some big nor'easter with strong SEly flow will upslope into you while I'm seeing cirrus clouds. I really do wish more posters could get in on this action. It really isn't as much fun when only 3 people on the NNE are getting hammered with 1-2 feet while everyone else gets an inch. I honestly do wish you guys could see this outside your window, too. I'll try to post some updated pictures this afternoon sometime. This is my first winter living here so close to the mountain so I'm sure I'm going to see more snowfall this winter than any other winter in my life regardless of how good the winter actually is. I'm only a few miles from a mountain that averages over 300" each season, so I figure even in a really, really bad year I figure I'll still see a solid amount of snow here.

powderfreak Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Its like the energizer bunny... just keeps going and going. Showing no signs of stopping here. We are back to half-dollar sized fluffy dendrites and the air is just thick with flakes. And the web cam image from the Ten Acres Lodge that is very close to my home location... village of Stowe is looking fantastic right now and everyone (both locals and tourists) is in a fantastic winter mood today. Nothing like the vibe in a ski town when its dumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitywave Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 10" here just north of BTV and it looks like we might be all done. I'm not real sure why NWS extended the WSW for eastern Chittenden county when it doesn't really look like any more is coming. The snow gradient is very pronounced as one drives in from the lakeshore. I'd say Burlington got <5", and what's really amazing is that Mallett's Bay got only an inch while we got ten barely five miles away. Williston got a foot and the foothills (Fletcher, Bolton, Underhill) got pounded. Looks like I should have blown off lab this morning the ultimate downslope screwjob? check out Sharon, VT. those guys got NOTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
