Froude

The wind really made that one of the more impressive storms we've had in years. One from driving in Craftsbury yesterday... overhead snowbanks and stakes lining the road so the plows can find it.

Feels like an overperformer.. already 5ish here and coming down hard. 16 does seem aggressive though.

Glad to hear it for their sake.. I'm guessing they are good at retention over there. Smuggs is at 212" but was wiped to the ground just before New Years. Two different ways to get there.

Northern VT resorts over 200" and Sunday River just passing 60" today blows my mind. Feast or famine this year on the northwest flow.

Interesting stuff. I also remember a few colder storms that went from 20:1 fluff and finished off with frz drizzle at the end. Just enough zipper crust to ruin the pow. Heres a couple from up high yesterday. Feels like another planet up there.

Perfect right side up snow today. Made it up to Jay and can confirm the 8-10" plus a few more during the day today. It's stuffed up there for sure. Quite a run we're on with a couple more systems on the way.

Looked like some 80 mph gusts up there last night? That lookout cam is hilarious, snow stake begging for mercy. Was a great day to be on the west side. 30:1 fluff still falling nicely in Underhill this evening, finally shut off here at home.

Best snow of the week falling here right now. Another 3" of fluff down this morning, maybe 6 or 7 for the event.

Scratch that. One check on the overnight totals and current temps and I think it's a good day to catch up on things inside.

Only a couple here in Fairfax but my mom sent a photo of a nice stack on their deck in Underhill Center. Their place cleans up in these. Feels like the good ol days lately with some clippers and lots of NW flow. Going to check in on lift serve tomorrow.

Good rates and snow growth in my travels today along the spine, and BTV just upped their forecast. Smuggs reporting 10" today, I wouldn't be surprised to see 20+ in spots by Thursday. Windier on the west side than a typical upslope event but nothing like the videos I saw coming out of Stowe.

Yeah I def don't want to kick off the Jay snow debate again cause it's clear they come out on top over the course of each season. This one just seemed pretty blatant based off the obs I saw. Just wish I could rely on their reports to know when it's truly worth the extra drive. Honestly 10-14" tonight wouldn't surprise me!

Thanks for being our boots on the ground. No doubt it's a nice start to the season up there but really wish we could rely on their numbers. I feel like we should crowdfund you to run a covert high road plot in some hidden thicket at 3000'.

How the hell did Jay pull 10-14" from this last night? Not exactly their classic setup.@bwt3650 you up there?

84/70 and they just spread manure upwind of my house. Feels like someone took a shit in a steam room.
