J.Spin Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Event totals: 7.7” Snow/0.84” L.E. Wednesday 1/12/2011 4:00 P.M. update: I was really surprised how hard it was snowing in Burlington this afternoon, and they had already picked up several inches of snow when I was leaving around 3:30 P.M. or so. It was actually snowing harder there than it was at the house, although we’d already picked up a good shot of snow at some point. At 4:00 P.M. I found 7.7 inches of snow on the snowboard, and boy was it dense! My coring cylinder, which has a diameter of 6.8 cm, produced a core comprised of 77.5 mL, which was the biggest individual chunk of liquid I’ve collected from a snow stack in a while. Those 7.7 inches contained 0.84 inches of liquid! The snow had very low compressibility, and the density came in at hefty 10.9% H2O, quite different from the 6.1 inches on Sunday that had a density of 2.3% H2O. It was a 10-hour (6:00 A.M. – 4:00 P.M.) accumulation, but as the biggest snow stack of the season so far, I grabbed a quick picture: It’s still been snowing out there since I got home, but not nearly at the intensity that it must have been cranking before. My wife said it snowed really hard even up in Morrisville, and the kids had an absolute blast at recess today. I saw Powderfreak’s message about the upgrade to a Winter Storm Warning for Lamoille County, so I grabbed the latest BTV warning and accumulations maps. Amounts have definitely gone up in the North Country, and this dense synoptic snow is going to be really good for the slopes. Some details from the 4:00 P.M. observations are below: New Snow: 7.7 inches New Liquid: 0.84 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 9.2 Snow Density: 10.9% Temperature: 19.8 F Sky: Light Snow (1-2 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 16.5 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I was looking at the totals down in MA and CT. savoy, ma near 35". I grew up in maine from 1983 till 1995 then went to grad school at Uconn, but still kept track of the snows up here. Don't really recall getting too many storms over 18" in that timeframe. we all jump up and down with 14 or 16" or so, but seems so hard to get much more then that, yet places down south and even mid-atlantic last year seemed to belt them out all winter. why is it we can't seem to lock in on those totals? I'd prefer the smaller, more frequent storms, which usually seems to be how we build snowpack, but I'd be estatic if we wrung out at 36" storm.

tamarack Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I've driven by this sign, forget where it is off the top of my head. Rte 26? I dunno, I'll look it up. Edit: Rte 5/35 intersection near Bethel. The signpost usually seen on postcards is on Jct 5 and 35, in Waterford, I think. However, the one in your pic must be in Vassalboro or nearby, judging by the mileages (especially the 7 miles to China.) The "New" must've fallen off the "Sweden 232 mi." sign, as that town is next to Stockholm (natch!), which is next to Caribou. "Sweden" is in western Maine, north of Fryeburg.

J.Spin Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Event totals: 9.2” Snow/0.91” L.E. Wednesday 1/12/2011 10:00 P.M. update: The snowfall hasn’t been very intense over the past 6 hours, but we are definitely getting bigger flakes now, and the density of the snow is less than half of what it was earlier. We did pass 80 inches of snowfall for the season with this event, and are now about 8 inches ahead of the average I have for this point in the season. If someone had told me a couple of days ago that we’d be getting almost an inch of liquid out of this system this far north, I would have been quite surprised. Some details from the 10:00 P.M. observations are below: New Snow: 1.5 inches New Liquid: 0.07 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 21.4 Snow Density: 4.7% Temperature: 20.3 F Sky: Light Snow (2-8 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 17.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Just got done snow blowing and measuring. Only 7.5" here. Not bad but given some of the totals to the south it's a little disappointing. Never could get into the good banding. Had some 1" / hr stuff but nothing better. Still going in if you told me I would get almost 8" I would have been happy as could be so I'll take it and look to the next storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Event totals: 11.4” Snow/0.95” L.E. Wednesday 1/13/2011 6:00 A.M. update: We got another 2.2 inches of what seems like upslope snow overnight, with big flakes up to 15 mm in diameter. It’s still snowing and there’s another 0.8 inches on the board already, so we will break the 1-foot mark with this event. With the synoptic snow down and this fluffy upslope on top, it’s a recipe for some excellent skiing on the slopes. The totals I’ve seen for the Vermont resorts with this storm added in seem to be around 2 to 3 feet over the past week. Some details from the 6:00 A.M. observations are below: New Snow: 2.2 inches New Liquid: 0.04 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 55.0 Snow Density: 1.8% Temperature: 17.8 F Sky: Light Snow (2-15 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 18.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Finished up with 8.0" on the dot and a LE of 0.55". By no means the storm that others saw but a nice snowfall regardless. As I've said before, we almost never jackpot, we're often stuck in the middle (with you) between upslopes to the west, coastals to the east and clippers to the north, but we rarely get shut out. It's slow & steady. Build the pack baby, build the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have some time on next weeks for it to trend better, Euro has it developing further east, GFS is what it is west, It could be west of here just as easy as east, But we shall see, Clipper looks like it could end up being a 1-2" 2-4" deal if it ends up developing sooner but we will watch the trends......
