From rushing water to pond ice to powder back to water all in a few days.

Another 6” between 8:30am and 4pm. Storm total 9” so far. Heavy snow. Depth at 3,000ft back up from 52” to 61”.

Upslope band is cranking. Just ripping snow on the mountains. Over 5" so far for the event.

In rare form this morning, ha.

Blocked.

A tad over 2” at 1500ft. 22” Depth.

This was a solid thaw. Noteworthy. We lost 20” of snowpack at home, and 21” at the base of the mountain. 42” to 21” this week at 1,500ft.

39/39 with light rain here in the valley. Its 50-55F with dews of 50F at 1,500-2,500ft. Wild inversions continue.

You’ve learned from the best.

That’s awesome. Those days were fun as a kid.

BTV got on the board, too. The high of 72 degrees at BTV (Burlington) was not only a daily record but also ties the warmest temperature this early in the winter/spring (January 1st through March 10th).

Shut em down and install em.

Just hit 70F up here at MVL. 55F summit and 65F base.

Afternoon round up of the state of the snowpack… High Road Plot (PM reading): 62” Depth (2” decrease past 24 hours, 12” lost past 5 days). Big Spruce Plot (PM reading): 42” Depth (2” decrease past 24 hours, 14” lost past 5 days) Barnes Camp Plot (AM reading): 28” Depth (4” decrease past 24 hours, 14” lost past 5 days). First 24-36 hours saw the biggest melt and the snowpack is getting a bit more resilient as it gets deeper down into some of the previous thaws and ice storm from mid-season. Only 2” decreases past 24 hours at the higher elevation sites is a positive trend but we still have at least 48 hours to go and likely 72 hours. Good spring skiing.

We spring.
