My cam never does the flakes justice, but these even look large on it.

Snow globe. Big flakes. 18.7F

A good 15 minute white out here. Down to 25.9°

George Hadley says get used to it.

You know Ginxy loves WINDEX. He just missed the context in your sarcasm.

Mostly Sunny 29.4F

Years of chasing a -NAO in the cruiser every night and after a couple weeks of failure he beats it down with the billy club.

What a stretch that was. I just checked out the COOP forms up here and although we only had 11" in that we had 12.5" a few days later on 1/14. Then we had 15" in the blizz and only a 1/2" the rest of the month.

We do that a lot nowadays. More wv in the air and more clouds. Torched mins and slightly AN max temps.

Congrats Delmarva

Not a classic inv trough, but that strong DPVA coming through with the upper level vortmax does converge winds a bit at the sfc. Like Scoot said, probably some SHSN as things destabilize a bit.

This looks like a weenie jspin-like crevasse in the winter.

Sounds like you're doing it wrong?

Looks like -51.6C

I can’t even imagine living up that high in upslope land. I’d probably reach the point where I’d truly hate the snow and cold. They probably struggle to hit 80° in the summer too. Would be cool to experience it for a year or two though.

Good question on the man-made snow too.

Yeah that day is close. I was just picking a few random days in the months you provided.

I’m just estimating the amount of snow via the snow water equiv. If Glastenbury is getting a lot more upslope than Stratton then yeah, the seasonal snowfall may be underestimated...especially if you had someone diligent like jspin measuring every 6-8 hours. There’s that little notch where winds can converge on Stratton with W flow though (by your area). Can you recall any good upslope storms around there where everyone started with little snow?

Yeah it seems like Stratton is consistently higher in the SWE dept...at least when it comes to remote sensing.

When was your highest depth in the last 15 or so years?

Probably need to use NOHRSC for the best estimate on that since it’s using the satellite derived water content. The Stratton area has a higher SWE right now.

It doesn't get much more putrid than this for the first half of the heart of winter.

Front seems to be coming through here now. Decent snow shower and dropping through the lower 30s.

36° with overcast skies after a sunny morning. Not very wintry down here.
