Yea, that is what I expected with those depths. Your probably not going to get those same depths, maybe a shady northside of the house nook...lol. Obviously it will still be impressive.

Got it. Right, Tamarack probably has a similar average depth on half the snowfall. So it's still somewhat "fake"..ha.

Pulled up JSpin...

Max depth actually looks pretty impressive say compared to the Underhill/JSpin zone. I feel like 40" range give her take is normally the max there. This guy is a little higher than Phin's spot and not sure how wooded it is. Phin's is pretty wide open which will lead to some wind scouring I would think.

Oh yea, absolutely. In those snowy upslope zones you can lose a lot of reported accumulation without diligent measuring because of the frequency of snowfalls. We talk about that from time to time in here and why there can be decent discrepancies across close areas. You really don't know if someone is measuring the second the snow stops and every 6 hours or if they are just waiting to 7am every day like some COOPS do. The Randolph guy is obviously meticulous ala JSpin. Even down here while we don't get as many snowfalls as NVT and NNH, we still get a lot of smaller scale squalls/upslope stuff and i try to get everything measured and recorded as some as I can.

2018 was just nuts, Bromley had 30-36" on the ground above 2500ft when I was up there at the end of NOV. Even down here think I had around 30" for the month. What's funny is you had the kind of epic reverse bookend---March 2018 in SVT to end winter of 17-18 and then epic NOV 2018 to start 18-19.

Obviously a small sample size, but this fall (10/1-11/15) is actually the second highest snow total for the Randolph cocorahs guy outside of the freakish 2018.

Agree...you cant have draconian-esque lock downs AND have Congress continue this absolute Pelosi/McConnell partisan bull and have nothing passed Stimulus wise via PPA/PUA and or direct one time stimulus payments. Many on here have voiced their opposition to lockdowns and shutdowns, that's fine, but they are happening and probably only going to get worse before the vaccine is widely available. Small businesses and many individuals have already been struggling even with the previous stimulus passed, another shutdown without any help will be really, really bad especially considering many individuals unemployment has already run out or will at the end of the year. Small anecdotal thing I noticed locally is for whatever reason pre-covid a lot of the 1 story ski motels here seemed to have changed hands with them being "spruced up" a bit and made more updated and modern. Just horrible timing for the new owners as COVID hit and they have seem to be mostly empty since March outside of some weekends over the summer when restrictions were pulled back a bit.

Euro 10 days says there will at least be some chances as you stated..not any epic pattern, but chances possibly. We'll see. In and Up with the best odds, as per usual in NOV.

I get big time wind storms in the right setup here. I've lost of a bunch of stuff to wind here...I'm like how did my trashcan end up in the woods 250 yards away? ha

Breaking news....

I was just thinking of that actually, I know he has mentioned before that he really had no idea that spot was that snowy. Because of it being only 500' you just don't think it can snow that much. I mentioned this before, but I remember reading some ski forum a few years ago where some guy was just not believing any of his snow totals and basically calling him out saying " there is just no way you got that much at 500ft'" or something along those lines.

As Will said, his location is the blueprint for upslope snow. I've have been calling it the magical hollow for years, nothing surprise me at all---- 5" in 30-40 minutes, sure why not. Ha You cant get frustrated seeing Jspin's absurd obs and PF at 1500' posting GIF after GIF after GIF of 30 dbz echoes and wondering why it isn't doing that in your backyard..its their own special zone and why PF gets the crickets in the main threads...lol. You will get plenty of white stuff.

Leaf cleanup done just in time..

Lol, different world down here...got final leaf clean up done.

Wife being only 30 certainly gives you more time, so that's nice. Yeah, can get to Bromley in 6-7 minutes, definitely was lol. Some of the more snooty valley folk in Dorset/Manchester look at the mountain towns as some different universe, almost Deliverance esque --you don't venture there unless you are strictly going to to ski.

Yea, that's a tough call. Although without any kids you don't have to worry about school districts/etc and could probably find a nice weenie spot high up, although still pricier than 8 months ago, but you lose the close to work, close to town, close to restaurants/etc. We have been in a similar situation since we moved to VT. We looked at many places up high on the eastern slopes in the 2 times we have house shopped, but ended up in the valley because of all the reasons I listed above in addition to family nearby and school proximity. What's funny is that whenever we mentioned to realtors that we were also looking at places up in the Bromley/Stratton area, some would say "oh no, you dont want to be up there, you will never be able to get into town in the winter" like it was Sapporo or Snoqulamie pass...lol.

Right, I'm noticing that also around here. The market is going on 6-7 months red hot, which is great for homeowners like myself, probably added 150k value since April, but horrible for locals looking to get into starter or lower priced single family homes. Those just don't even exist anymore, anything that is not a gut is snapped up in an instant and I even look at many houses and go "that house went for what?" Also, my wife works for a local Real Estate company and they hired 4 new realtors with many more inquiring about working there. Seems to be a new crop of people that are getting their real estate license looking to cash in on the current market.

CPV was cookin' last night on southerly breeze. BTV low of 63F, what a 4-5 day torch. Even at 6am 60s were way up in interior Canada, guess the prairie lands. Low of 50F here, Bennington also roasting with a 61F low.

Going to be some big diurnal ranges today in the lowest valley points. Saw some upper 20s in the deepest darkness low spots around here this morning. Maybe low- mid 70s by afternoon? Nice inversion this morning- it was 53F at 2600ft at stratton, 40f here at my house at 1100ft and 28-29F at 700ft.

Got my bro-in-law to send me a pic as he was out today with the plow. Those oaks are still loaded too, what a nightmare. I mulch mow as much as I can then into the woods the rest go.

Nonstop hum of leaf blowers here this weekend as well. My brother in law lives in ORH and has an ungodly amount of Oaks on his property. Ive never seen it, but he actually plows them with his pickup truck into the woods..ha.

I think that's a mortal lock.

Stepping away from the election for a bit, quite the temp contrast out there tonight at 10pm.

Where did you see Philly stopping? Maybe its a volume issue or that different cities/counties have different methods. No idea Edit: Philly commissioner said they can do 10-12K per hour.
