Allenson Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Came home to better stackage than I thought: 5.7" of some of the nicest fluff I've seen in a while. Light snow falling, 4*. wxeyeNH: love the leaf blower move. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalWinds Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Its just been a "meh" start to the winter in northern VT... funny though the different opinions even within this thread with some of the NH/ME crowd having a fantastic start to the winter. November was my favorite month so far, haha. Yeah, "meh" is a good way to describe it...snowfall-wise, I mean. Temps have certainly been cold enough. I've certainly seen worse, though, that's for sure...and I've only been up here since '98. I love snowy/cold Novembers. Much more than, say, snowy Marches. I think what I need to do is get on the ball and sell this house...it's much too big for my needs now. What are 2 bedroom condos at Stowe going for these days, PF? . I think I'd like a place closer to your area, say somewhere between the spine and the Worcester range around 1500' or higher. I'd like to get into a more favorable upslope area. 3.25" here imby as of 9:45pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Bow Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 yeah con seems low, a bit over 6" here 2.5mi away from ityeah don't see how that's possible. up to 7" here now. Has been micro flakes since the first batch this morning, probably will stay that way. Kind of a boring way to get to the 8-12 inch range. been almost a constant .2" to .3" an hour snow all day as I had 4 inches around 11AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 1.7" at 8pm. Like watching paint dry. Over 12 hours straight of snow falling from the sky. A nice steady tenth per hour, lol. Not much different over here. I guess my good luck ran out because I moved here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Not much different over here. I guess my good luck ran out because I moved here .Pushing 7" further southeast. An overperformer in my generally pessimistic mind. Allenson must have similar totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Pushing 7" further southeast. An overperformer in my generally pessimistic mind. Allenson must have similar totals. Very cool.

J.Spin Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Its just been a "meh" start to the winter in northern VT... funny though the different opinions even within this thread with some of the NH/ME crowd having a fantastic start to the winter. November was my favorite month so far, haha. Yeah, “meh” is what you have to go with when December, a key snow month, comes in down near half of normal snowfall. We’ve certainly had worse (two in my records: 2006 with 20.2” and 2011 with 24.7”), but with just 26.2” this one was right down there in that company. Indeed November was good, but unfortunately even a strong November can’t carry the first third of the season on its own. It should be interesting to see what this next storm does as well, we can often do well with these systems that head over us or to the west, but people really seem to have a very negative view of them.

J.Spin Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Event totals: 2.9” Snow/0.30” L.E. The overnight snow was very similar to what came yesterday, just a touch drier, but the storm is hovering around that synoptic 10% H2O range as indicated by the event totals. Details from the 6:00 A.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 1.2 inches New Liquid: 0.11 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 10.9 Snow Density: 9.2% H2O Temperature: -6.9 F Sky: Light Snow (1 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 10.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/size] Yeah aside from November, this winter has been less than stellar so far haha. Not a fan of cutters/rain, then arctic cold, then cutters, with 50% of normal snowfall. I see we are right with 2006-2007 so far which was an epic start to the winter, lol. I'm sure the NH/ME crowd and southern VT would beg to differ though.

powderfreak Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 11.3" 0.62" 2.0F -SN Depth 22" Man that's nuts with the ratios.I think we've had less than 10:1. This stuff is so dense...like 2.5" on nearly 0.3" liquid. We have half the liquid you got but 1/5th the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Final snowfall looks to be 2.5" at 750ft and 2.7" at 1500ft. Incredibly dense like sand. You can feel it when you walk in it...this isn't like what people think of when they think cold snow. Upslope with this same QPF often brings 8-12" lol.

We have half the liquid you got but 1/5th the snow. Yeah it was sugar all day long. Our cover looks nice as we have the fresh 2" on top of the old frozen pack, but it was definitely far from the epic depths I was hoping for when the models began on this system and had us getting nailed. Anyway there has been no removal from the streets so they are solid white as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klw Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 It looked to be 4.4 inches new. We were sitting at -9 as I left this morning and it was snowing lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Not buying the 7.8" at CON unless they never cleared the board the entire storm. Even then we have a little under 10" in the uncleared spots of the driveway. The ASOS has 0.61" of liquid so far, I have 0.63" from cores, and the Salisbury antifreeze weighing gauge has 0.66".

We may be getting nickled and dimed to death but Sunday will mark 3 weeks straight with a snow cover (which is probably pretty good for the CPV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Pushing 7" further southeast. An overperformer in my generally pessimistic mind. Allenson must have similar totals. Finished up at 8.0" with 0.39" of liquid therein. 20:1 stuff here. Thought we'd end up around 6", so a bit of an overperformer imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borderwx Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 we overperformed to with 1.4" of sand the snow is so small the xc ski this morning was actually fast, more like an inch of ball bearings, at -15F it usually is slow going. screw this wind.

Allenson Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 BTV is running a negative snowfall departure by about 3" at this point in the season.

Thought we'd end up around 6", so a bit of an overperformer imho. 8" here too. Like I said in a earlier post, yesterday's stuff was a different consistency than the stuff that fell last night.

The last 4 or 5 inches was vey fluffy. Yeah, same here pretty much. Started grainy but the afternoon/evening stuff was stacking right up. Deep deep winter out there. Bet the trails will be in good shape this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Not looking good with the models all going west with the cutter of death next week: HIS WESTERN TRACK NOW FAVORED BY ALL MODELS...AND SEEMSREASONABLE GIVEN THE POSITION OF THE LARGE UPPER LOW/TROUGH ALONGWITH INDICATIONS THAT THE UPPER TROUGH WILL TAKE ON A NEGATIVETILT FOR A TIME SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. GIVEN THEPROJECTED LOW TRACK AND DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE FORECAST AREASUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING...LOOK FOR PRECIPITATION TYPE TO BEAN ISSUE WITH THIS STORM. TEMP PROFILES SUGGEST A PROLONGED PERIODOF MIXED PRECIPITATION...TRANSITIONING IN MOST OF THE AREA FROMSNOW/SLEET TO RAIN...WITH A PERIOD FREEZING RAIN POSSIBLE. AS LOWLIFTS OUT TO OUR NORTH-NORTHEAST DURING MONDAY...PRECIPITATIONCHANGES BACK TO SNOW BEFORE TAPERING TO SNOW SHOWERS. It doesn't sound like any back end snows will be all that helpful on the back of this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
