Honestly, it was such a short window of heavy snow you mostly likely only had time for 1 clear. Someone probably could have had 46-48" I think possibly. I think the CO-OPs measure in a 24 hour window and clear their board at that time, so the Peru VT CO-OP probably cleared at 7am (or whatever obs time is?) and then had a fresh board for post 7am snowfall (someone can correct me if Im wrong about the Co-op clears?) So the 44.8" they had was with 1 clear most likely.

Crazy to think I got 32" and was fringed by the meat of the mega band by 3-4 miles. Took a tour one town to the north of me where the big totals were and found 31-32" settled depth at 11am this morning! This was in East Dorset in the valley at 730ft, not some 2k east slope spot. No question they had 39-40" OTG with no clears.

Deep pack and dropping--down to 1F

I think Dendrite said March 2001 was his biggest like you mentioned. He said Oct 2011 also and said one other I cant remember. AS Gene and Dendrite would tell you I don't think they have had many events over 16" in the recent past. I don't know about long term history though. I would assume this is up there.

Updated the snow events list, one of these things is not like the other

Clearing out, what a storm. 32.7" final. Pretty much guarantee that won't ever happen again here.

Took the kids for a quick swim up at Stratton. Pool around 80F, snowmaking in overdrive this week with hopefully some natural help tonight. So close to the fringe here, could be arctic sand, could be on the edge of deform too.

Thanks for supplying the cold air for the storm guys .. balmy 6F here.

Good trends for us north of the SNE border. Hopefully we can get a nice deform band to rotate through and rot. Maybe the SE ticks will happen overnight, who knows, hopefully not.

I mean I kind of get it, it literally may not snow again for a year or two in some spots if things don't break right. It was funny seeing you guys all toss the NAM and the NE forum saying '"crushed".

Mid atl forum is always good for a laugh. I hop in there from time to time to lurk..so much anger and anxiety...lol

Soooooo, your not buying the IBM solution??

. 6" today. Whitening to landscape which is nice. But as Gene mentioned, screw zone so far this season is SVT over through central NH which looks to continue with this event.

So this guy strolls up today, squats and takes a nice piss on my daughter's hat she left in the yard. bastard! Got to figure out how to upload the video, pretty funny.

Just virga so far here

Got out early this AM before the FROPA and squeezed in hopefully last mountain bike ride of the year. Maybe also a lawn trim..ha.

Right, that is exactly what the ALY Mets said at the event, basically they realize this is strictly volunteer and the once a day clear would just be easier for the majority of observers, but said to do the 6 hour clear if you had the ability to. Seems now they want to be in line with COOP's which are once a day and to streamline all data--snowfall wise that is. Like you mentioned, the liquid equivalent really is the important part of the snowfall data.

@J.Spin --They were discussing 6 hour clears in the main discussion thread which we have discussed many times over the years. I just checked Cocorahs and saw this paragraph below, seems like new verbiage. I know in past years on the cocorahs website it has said in black and white that 6 hour clears were OK. When I went to a cocorahs event at NWS ALY( 2018 maybe?) I asked the ALY Mets specifically and they said 6 hour clears were OK and actually encouraged if you had the time and capability to do them. Looks like they added new bolded language below saying do not clear the board. Just curious if you are still going to do clears? I have done them since I joined 4-5 years ago, although not sure how many I am actually doing in a full season. "Observers in networks such as CoCoRaHS and the NWS Cooperative Network are required to take snowfall measurements once per day. During long duration events, snowfall may be measured at shorter intervals for the purpose of submitting a Significant Weather Report or reporting to the NWS, but the snowboard should NOT be cleared! The snowboard should be cleared only after your regular 24-hour observation. Some observers, such as at airports, may be directed by their servicing NWS offices to take 6-hourly measurements. However, CoCoRaHS and U.S. Cooperative stations are to make measurements every 24 hours."

Tamarack--were you a lax bro at Hopkins in mid 60s? Seems like Hopkins is Doctors and lacrosse players.

Hopefully the Euro can restore its King status and score a coup for Monday. Like mentioned, nothing else shows this outcome.

Not to mention the row of edges blocking your view while doing laps in the pool. At this point I think we can all agree the place just needs to be razed.

Oh for sure, Dorset feels like a preppy wealthy CT town, just picked up and dropped in SVT(with some VT charm). Nice spot that someone probably uses 3-4 weeks a year...would have had a great view of Dorset Hollow Ski area https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/5251_Dorset_VT_M40801-38583

Lol, yea faces pretty much due south. Snow softens up quick once your hit FEB. But yea, retention is certainly an issue without a deep base even though they are east of the spine just because of the Sun later on in the season. It would get more snow that the proposed Dorset sight, but looking at the rendering's the Dorset sight would face southwest, so they would get less snow and most likely similar or worse retention.

Super interesting read, honestly had no idea there was ever a plan for a resort there. Funny how that area of Dorset Hollow is now an enclave of some of the priciest homes in SVT.--some absurd estates located there. Got the promotion going nicely, would have been same ad if they did Mt Equinox: Looks like some locals weren't having it in 1965. Guess it was always an exclusive enclave. " Anyway, rich old blood and even some young blood are complaining about the "rape" of Dorset mountain and its tranquil beauty destroyed by ski trails scarring the landscape and "those skiers" invading their privacy.

Interesting, even in days of yore they knew the retention wasn't quite adequate
