I know on the surface it seems like that would makes sense funneling down the valley ala I-89 and JSpin on NW winds, but I honestly haven't noticed that funneling effect at all here. If that was the case Manchester would get a lot more snow than they do, as they would also benefit from it. I have thought about that exact funneling your mentioning and really just haven't noticed it on radar or in real time obs. I think its more the fact that the Greens rise up quickly there and Snow Valley is close to top of the ridgeline.

Yea, I've done it a few times in winter and some summer hikes also. Your spot on about the snow, its pretty close to the crest of the Greens even though it doesn't have the elevation of a Stratton or Bromley, it does really well upslope wise(again relatively speaking to SVT metrics)The snowpack always seems pretty substantial for being in the 2k-2500' range.

The real estate company my wife works for is selling the land for one of the lost SVT spots- Snow Valley in Winhall. Can be yours for a cool $5 mil.. 90 Snow Valley Rd, Winhall, VT, 05340 | realtor.com®

GFS had .50" of precip over near Jay and maybe close to Mansfield..any type of decent ratios that would be pretty good for you guys up there. Even the usual sloppy seconds scraps down here of couple tenths of precip. 2" I would consider a win.

It was obviously a one time only try as do not wish to move out and have to get my own apartment

I honestly once tried to get my wife to a LE measurement using the cocorahs gauge on the snow board when I was out of town for work. I was talking to her through the nest cam and telling her how to do it watching her as she tried. It did not end well.

Cue up the JSpin trademark:

Oh, for sure. Doesn't matter if you average 300" or 30" and live slope side or along the coast, early on everyone is looking for the first bigger event of the season. Also, a rare opportunity that you get to be up at Jay full time and want to take advantage of your situation and get out on the hill as often as possible.

Unless DEC 2015 comes walking through that door, no one has less worry than you in pretty much any subforum on AmWx east of the Mississippi . Obliviously cutters still cut and suck for everyone and for base building, just hope there is no AK PIG.

That's interesting, I saw that CO-OP and thought no way that could be in Gorham, but maybe? 3800' there at that spot, probably not quite representative of most of the people who live in Gorham

DC to Presque Isle, that is one hell of a chase.

I don't even see a current Gorham CO-OP on Xmacis, but guess there is one somewhere...lol. See 2-3 old ones that are no longer active. But yea, what PF said is right, so much variation within town limits it's ridiculous. I live very, very close to the Winhall town line, but I'm still in Manchester. So a couple houses down would be considered "Winhall", same area as Stratton and many houses that are in the 2000-2400' range. You could have one of my nearby neighbors report 4" from Winhall (from the valley) and then have another "Winhall" up near Stratton report 20" in the same storm (theoretically under the right specific conditions )

GYX PNS said the 17.9" was Mount Washington CO-OP observer. Not sure if that means summit or what? Oceanstwx would know or maybe someone else.

How about the 1.38" in 2.5" in Concord . Serious mashed taters. That 2.5" is like .05" LE is some upslope stuff..lol

Some serious liquid in these NH totals. One guy in Wolfeboro had almost 2" LE on 7 inches of snow. Marginal airmass FTL.

1.5" here. Some lingering orographic snows hanging around..really light stuff here locally ATM. Not that 1.5" is much, but Manchester village couple hundred feet lower has nothing OTG.

Definitely thought Gene, Dendrite would do better than 1-2". Kind of shocking. Like mentioned, marginal airmass with the real juice down by ORH and now in ME I guess.

We'll wait for someone with a more precise dedication to the craft......your neighbor around 7am tomorrow...lol

Little weenie band setting up on the western edge over SVT. 33F coming down pretty nicely, and everything getting covered. I'm sure it wont last long and will pull east, but enjoying it at the moment.

Good luck NH and ME peeps-hope for a nice burial for you guys/girls. As JSpin posted above, fringe city on this one for most Vermonters. KLW near the border probably has the best chance of something more substantial. 35.8F and -RA now here.

Shame this thing is so compact doesn't blow up a little sooner. The track itself over/near the cape is usually a pretty good one for the far western zones. Just goes boom little too late it looks like.

I love the tracking too, it's a part of the snow weenie handbook, I just won't stay up all night for the 3am NAM runs or whatever..lol. But, I grew up not too far from your spot in MD in extreme SE PA, I know the drill.

It is pretty funny, extreme angst with every model run like its the one and only chance of any type of significant snow in a place that averages 150"+..lol. That angst is 100% justified in the MId-Atl, maybe even SNE coast to some degree. I honestly don't think I have ever stayed up for the 0z Euro run unless I was already awake. It's not going to change when I wake up at 6am.

ALY hoisted a watch for SVT. That's coming down tomorrow AM I would think without wholesale changes.

Well, yea someone is almost always going to get screwed during miller As/Bs. Too much geographical area to cover in NNE for everyone to he happy. DEC 2003 and maybe a couple others that hit the majority of the region. You, Wxeye, Alex, guy in Jackson over to Maine look decent. You guys in NH all have over 1K in elevation. Maine guys don't have the elevation, but closer to the intense precip to flip.
