J.Spin Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I’ve added the updated advisories and warnings map from BTV, but their projected accumulations map looks similar to yesterday, so I’ll just refer to the one that was already posted in the thread. This morning Roger Hill suggested the potential for 1 to 2 feet in the Green Mountains, with 6 to 10 or 8 to 14 for some valley locations and the potential for school closures. Looking at the winter storm warnings from BTV, it seems that the biggest totals are more south of here, although as is often the case, if upslope gets into the picture later in the storm cycle, the Northern Greens seem to do pretty well. The current point forecast for our location in the Winooski Valley at ~500’ suggests 5 to 10 inches through tomorrow, and then additional snow Friday night, Saturday, and Saturday night. We’ll have to see how this system goes around here, but similar to ’07-’08, we would be closing in on the 200-inch mark for seasonal snowfall at our location if we get a decent dump.

Allenson Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I noticed that. Nice attention to detail by the good mets at GYX. Sure, a little local knowledge is always good. Good ol' Mount A too. Used to mountain bike/hike/ski there quite a bit in my UNH/Portsmouth/York days. Never skied there when it was an opperating ski area though...

Hitman Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Lurker here. Thanks for all the informative discussion and observations. Question. I am driving up to the Mad River Valley from Westchester county New York. We usually leave around 5 pm friday and take the taconic to 22 and then route 7 from Bennington to Rutland. Any thoughts on how the conditions will be? The wifey is pushing to go at 4-5am saturday morning instead. wise? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure the storm will be winding down by 5:00 Friday afternoon out that way. I say go for it. Might be a bit slow going but they know how to take care of snow in Vermont. That's my opinion, maybe others will chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I just stopped in at the BTV NWS website and noticed that they have updated their Storm Total Snow Forecast map as of 9:31 A.M. this morning. Comparing it to the one from 3:07 P.M. yesterday one can see a few trends. Totals are fairly similar or just a touch downward in the northern 1/3 of the state, and very obvious now is the large area of pink and purple in the central part of the state where the projected accumulations have gone up. Totals seem fairly similar out in the Adirondacks, with a little bump up in the St. Lawrence Valley area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Trend this AM is east. Vermont seems to mostly be in the 3-6" or 4-8" snow now. Yeah definitely lower totals than thought yesterday. I'm starting to think this may swing wide enough east that we may struggle to get to 3-6", but we'll see. Luckily backside deformation coupled with an upslope NNW flow should still bring some decent snows at least to the mountains. The upslope on the backside is definitely something that could keep N.VT in the game for decent totals... but it'll be a much more drawn out event that areas further south where this is looking like a 6-8 hour QPF blast. I could see us snowing for like 12+ hours up in the mountains to get to 6 or maybe 7". For most towns up this way though, I think this is an advisory level snow event (3-6", 4-8" further southeast towards the LEB area). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SREFs even moved quite a bit SE with the QPF as some of the members of that ensemble that were hitting areas farther west have now moved well east. My call would be a widespread 3-6" across northern and western VT, with more like 4-8" or 5-10" south and east of a Cornwall-Montpelier line.

Based on the discussion in the Tulip Trouncer thread, it sounds like things are projected to move quite a bit east, so we'll presumably see the updates in the next package. It has been very interesting watching the discussion with the storm in the main thread, the tailpipe and bathtup pictures were hilarious. It is quite a roller coaster ride following the trends down there with all the input from so many different directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
