2.5 in past 2.5 hours. 18.9" total. It will likely be my biggest storm at this house and perhaps ever.

CC?

2pm measurement- 9.1 inches since clearing at 8am 16.4" total

13.4 now. (6.1 since 8am)

BTV NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... As of 947 AM EDT Saturday...Based on current stronger fgen band of heavy snow across south central VT and latest reports, boosted overall snow totals down in Rutland/Windsor/Orange Counties up a bit. Also tightened the snowfall gradient in our far northern counties to show slightly less snowfall due to somewhat drier air in lower levels and a fairly narrow dendritic snow growth zone of only a few thousand feet way up around 600 mb. This is why flakes have been on the finer/smaller side in these areas. Have a great day!

4.5 inches new since I cleared at 8am. 11.8 total

From the BTV 8 am update As of 758 AM EDT Saturday...No significant changes made with the morning update. Barring some unexpected developments, the snowstorm should be getting more interesting for a larger portion of the region after heavier snow overnight tended to stay parked over southern Windsor and Rutland counties where 6 to 8 inches of moderately wet new snow was observed. The character of the snow has been rather dry farther north so far, but should trend wetter areawide as previously anticipated.

7.3 inches as of 8am

Have you installed? I was happy to see this in BTV's more recent discussion: The one change to the forecast is the expected ptype across Rutland/Windsor counties where guidance has trended colder in regard to a warm nose moving in aloft, with now only a small section of southeast Windsor county forecast to see a changeover to a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and rain from about noon through 6PM before going back to all snow. This led to slightly higher snowfall amounts, and less ice accretion as the probability for freezing rain is much lower now.

12Z Euro Clown:

I just looked at a bunch of the models. I better go make sure I have extra gas for the snow blower.

BTV has upped totals again, I am a bit too close to the mix line for comfort

Warnings here now and BTV upped their map:

12Z Euro clown give me 20' while 18Z GFS gives me 17". I fear I will get invested.

Elevation is 1240' (it's also in my signature), I cleared at 10pm and then again at 6 am but did not do an on the ground check. We were wiped clean prior to yesterday so I would guess it is about 4"

We have a Watch for Saturday now. https://www.weather.gov/btv/winter 10% map is fun

Measured 1.4 at 10 pm last night, 3.0 new on top of that overnight.

8.4 inches overnight, surprisingly never lost power

Standard earlier, toy now,

Eyeballing 3 inches new, puking dendrites the size of beagles at the moment

NAM, HRRR and RGEM too. Having power is overated.

Winter Storm Watches up for much of Vermont.

FWIW I routinely shovel my 350' steep driveway if there is less than 4 or 5". More than that I use the snow blower first. Ruts and dips make it so I have to shovel anyway after snow blowing. There was a year of so where I just shovelled because the snowblower seemed worthless then I learned what shear pins were and why the snow blower was worthless.

Well they can hardly say it wasn't forecast

I love the language in the point and click for Donner Pass. "Snow showers. The snow could be heavy at times" I would think if it will total 43 to 49 inches just overnight that it may be heavy at times. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=39.3191&lon=-120.3285 This Afternoon Snow showers.
