4” new overnight and hammering away at the base of Mansfield. Had 2.3” at home.

4” new and snowing hard at 6am here.

They often get upslope snow on the west side there that can be pretty decent too. That whole area is very snowy just very few people around to report it. I had a friend living at 1900ft in Stannard and he always had more snow on the ground than the Stowe base area. It’s just in the middle of nowhere where though.

Yeah the interior hills there. RT 15 gets up near 2,000ft in Walden and that’s a very snowy area. Some of those towns on the west slope of those hills like Stannard get a ton of snow and preserve it very well.

BTV with 3” so far this evening. Dumping over there in the Champlain Valley. Only 1.5” here. Pretty good fronto band going NW-SE through BTV to the Mad River Valley.

That map is insane, I don’t remember that. Weedwhacker worthy.

It’s also been early in the season too, working with December normals. The same departures in February would be the real deal.

You’re learning a lot about NNE climate ha.

Nice light snow event next 24 hrs?

Regardless of how other areas are doing relative to normal, the best vibes are in the relative jackpot area compared to normal.

That's a phenomenal deal.

A week ago we got to 33F. That felt sort of nice, despite being an ice storm. The past 5 days have been below 20F, with a min of -10F during that time. Not excessively cold, but just a continuation of solidly cold departures with temperatures holding the past couple days in the 0 to 10F range down here in the valley. Some positive departures would feel nice. Vehicle batteries would appreciate it.

They have to salt or sand though right?

Yup. Only thing I could do without is that ice crust from last Monday. That’s not going away easily.

South shore in January vibes.
