wxeyeNH Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I see a dryslot moving up from NJ but good returns on the backlash. Wondering where the backlash snow goes, through NH or VT? May make a difference of a couple more quick inches. 7pm 29.6F light to moderat snow 7.5" Heavier returns look to move in shortly from the south.

wxeyeNH Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 8.8 inches in Orwell. That seems to be about the highest in New England right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 We all win. I got my bass and you got your treble. Haha I'm just guessing...need JSpin to do his analysis. Maybe there's sneaky moisture in it but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I think I'm up over 7" but a 10 year old boy with a toy snowmobile sees no reason an untouched stretch of snow needs to remain so. Anyway, I agree with what PF said in the main obs thread, a day or two ago nobody would have chosen the NW fringe as the place to be for this one. I even thought PF's 3-6/4-8 might not happen. Cod this be the start of a Seasonal trend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I bet JSpin is well ahead...same with the Montpelier/Barre guys. We got lucky with that band being so far NW and this isn't wet snow. This is huge flake deform snow that piles quick. Haha I'm just guessing...need JSpin to do his analysis. Maybe there's sneaky moisture in it but I doubt it. Snowfall was at 6.8" as of 7:00 P.M. – I put the hourly data in a table below: Unfortunately I can't run a liquid analysis yet since we're out at the moment, but snowfall has generally been running in that inch per hour range – approaching 8" as of 8:00 P.M. There's aren't any updates in terms of the local BTV NWS projected accumulations map, but Winter Storm Warnings have been extended a bit westward in Northern New York: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, after three below average seasons in a row for the NVT mountains, there's bound to be something going in the other direction eventually. I'd say it's more climatologically normal for NNE (especially the mountainous areas) to be getting notable snow in November vs. SNE, but as for the rest of the season, we'll just have to watch. Getting something better than the ~50% of average snowfall we saw in December and January last season would be a great start. Thanks to this current storm, November is coming in above average though, so that's a step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at about 1000' here in the berkshires just over the ct border, and this is heavy heavy stuff. Definition of snowball snow. Tree limbs coming down everywhere.

Definition of snowball snow. Tree limbs coming down everywhere. At my elevation at 1100 feet it is actually blowing off the roof a bit since I have been around 29.6F for the past couple hours. Many power outages in the area because the wind is light and most of the area around me is 600 feet lower and at dark the trees were really weighted down.

wxeyeNH Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Just look at those radar returns in E NY state. Really curious to see if we get into that backlash area. Brian, I have been measuring the snowfall wrong on this storm. I didn't clear an area after 6 hours and just taking a ruler and placing it on flat earth. That's why your snow total has been running higher than me, your doing it right by clearing every 6 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hvysnow79 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 8.1", just some very light snow falling now. Temp at 31F, pretty wet stuff. I am also hoping that NY comes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Interestingly my temp which slowly fell all afternoon into the eve to 29.6F has now started to rise. Up to 30F now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 We are doing quite well in Winooski for sure! I would say we are at least at 4 inches and perhaps closing in on 5 depending on which surface you measure on. I didn't have a ruler on hand as I was out with friends but I will have some good pics tomorrow I think. Nice snow growth and steady snow. EDIT: given the NWS reports I am probably underestimating slightly. None the less it is nice to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApacheTrout Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Another 6" since 6:30 pm, for a total of 14.8" since it started snowing around noon today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 As of 10:00 P.M. the storm total is 9.2" at our location. On a seasonal note, this storm has now brought the November snowfall to 18.0", which already puts it ahead of last November's 17.7" and certainly brings it up among other decent Novembers for snowfall. Next up in the hierarchy is November 2007 with 18.8", so we'll see if this storm will continue to bring November 2014 up in the ranks. Updated hourly snowfall table has been added below: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I can't wait to get some pics in the morning as there hasn't been too much wind, meaning it will be more photogenic with the trees pasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApacheTrout Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Still going... Not too shabby for a 6-12" forecast. Those bands of bright greens and spotty yellows suggest 20" isn't that far of stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much you have? You're probably close to winning this one. I highly doubt we see anyone near 20" though. 7.5" here as of a half hour ago.

J.Spin Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I just saw that the BTV NWS projected accumulations map has been updated – notably it pushes that 10-14" bracket farther north: We're right on the edge of that 10-14" on the map, and that's making reasonable sense as accumulation was at 10.5" last I checked. I'll do another accumulation update at 11:00 P.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Storm total is now 10.6" as of 11:00 P.M., so 1.4" fell in the past hour. That brings the monthly total to 19.4", so next up on the records chopping block would be November 2008 with 20.5" of snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
