BUF gusting to 59kt with +SN

45mph on my davis so far. Probably translates to 50kt with no tall oaks just to my east.

Really ramping up here. Actually picking up wet snow and lifting it into the air

In the hot tub with the scanner

MWN +SN and gusting to 147mph. They don’t actually report a lot of “official” +SN obs up there for whatever reason.

Goodbye western VT soon

I obliterated 3ft. Lol

The Chris Davis of weather

31.6° mod snow

Looks like it was the coldest day on record for Bozeman airport. All-time record low max of -24, 3rd coldest min on record of -45, and coldest mean on record of -34.5. Departure of -54

The squall line with the fropa isn't going to be snow

They have similar maps on their briefing page https://www.weather.gov/box/emhome

Maybe a little for the west slopes, but keep in mind that isn't all instantaneous. That's thickness paired with 6hr averaged precip. So a lot of that precip is outta here before the column cools to support snow.

Do you recall what Feb 2010 was offhand? I was pretty inverted in that, but obviously CON/MHT-SE roared. Quite a different sfc low position in that one.

It did a couple weeks later.

3k NAM has some 75kt gusts to the sfc in W VT. 100kt at H85 over Lake Champlain

That's not bad for them.

There's a new all-time December record low temp for Casper....they hit -42F before midnight local time. Ironically their only other -40s in December were 12/21 as well in 1990. They'll beat today's record with another -41 or -42 in the books. So it'll go into the records with 2 days with -40s when their previous record history, going back to 1939, had only 1 day total. Bozeman is down to -44F. That's their 2nd coldest Dec temp on record. edit...looks like the CPR reading is an all-time record low...not just for Dec.

I thought it could precipitate, the models always fool me

huge standardized anomalies up there

I noticed that up there. The western slope downslope favored areas are going to roar.

DEN 42 to 18 in 7 mins

Greeley CO just went from 48° to 18° in 9 minutes.
