  1. I think allot of it had to do with wind direction. Usually during coastal storms that produce flooding the wind is NE which is more of a side shore flow. SE wind fits the Ny bight perfectly. One of the many reasons sandy was in a league by itself.
  2. Some tree bending gusts and blinding rain, serious conditions driving to work from the island to the City
  3. They really under call their snow amounts too. Reporting 24” for the big storm, maybe at the base but mid mountain up was definitely over 30”. Then another 5” from a lake streamer Monday didn’t hurt. I’ll be up all next week, praying for as little damage as possible but the trees will be glacial no matter what and out of play until we get another natural snow. Planning on doing a Vt tour with a sugarbush and Kill day.
  4. Exactly, they had 30 back on relatively quick. My place is still out and the tree is still on the wires. I pumped the fireplace hard both nights. Heading back to Long Island now. If I was a full timer up here I would own a generator
  5. Storm total of 16” at 1,000’. Finally heading to the mountain as a tree was blocking our road which we just cut up. Can’t wait to see what’s above 2,500’ power will prob be out for a while
  6. Another 2” here at my house 1,000’ takes us to 12” of cement. Still no power. Probably another 4-6” above 2,500 so Getting to around 30. Anything the rest of the night brings this one higher on the all time list for the SVT Mountains
  7. Your going to see some insane snow amounts as it’s still ripping here! Enjoy
  8. Yes, one of the best all day powder days I have had in years. 20” by last chair at Stratton. It snowed so hard it was near white out at times. Out west type day. One I’ll never forget
  9. Power is out now with sounds of cracking and crashing coming from the trees. We just went from beautiful and historic to a pain in the ass in SVT
  10. We were just discussing this at my house. Every time It looked like a break was headed up from the south it would just fill in. My theory is the upslope component is so strong it fills in the gaps of the synoptic snow. Im impressed your doing so well on the west slopes. I heard downtown Manchester was mainly rain!
  11. So far about 10” of pure cement at 1000’ west townshend SVT. Moderate snow continues, a few more inches here. The big snow is over 2500’ with an estimated 20” at Stratton for last run. Snowed various levels of SN+ the entire day. Wouldn’t be surprised if 30 is in reach. Elevation and east slope upslope for the win.
  12. Another foot here and we are heading into the all time greats. Pretty amazing storm at elevation. Going to need those blacks tomorrow with over 30”
  13. Hour after hour of legit S+ with vis a couple hundred feet at times at Stratton. May end up a top 10 storm here depending on how the back half goes
  14. Near whiteout at Stratton currently, somewhere in the 16” range up high but hard to tell. This is going to be one of the greats for the southern vt mountains
  15. Absolutely puking snow at Stratton 4” hour stuff. 12” and climbing
  16. I’ll be at Stratton today-Sunday. I’ll give you the report later! Not promising at my house at 1,000’ so far with 2” of slop but another 1,000’-2,850’ may do wonders
  17. Light snow and 32 degrees about 2” of pure cement at 1000’ SVT, lost allot to non accumulating white rain earlier last night. West Townshend
  18. Light snow at 1000’ west Townsend VT. Going to be a pure blue bomb at this elevation, hopefully the power holds
  19. This one screams SVT. The good thing about Stratton is top elevation is 3850’ higher then anything south of Killngton. I’m on the way up soon. My house is at 900’ though, should be an interesting one there
  20. This is the one to watch for sure. A variety of high impacts not just snow. Coastal flooding and beach erosion on a level we haven’t seen in years. We have had a long run of swell and resultant erosion already this month, including this current storm.
  21. I’ll be at my house in the southern greens of Vt. Could easily jackpot in the 20+ range. We do really well on an east upslope flow.
  22. I’m on the same page. We really need water temps to cool to start getting the coast in the game. Like bluewave has been saying, anytime there’s a primary in the Midwest the winds ahead of any transfer will torch the coast.
  23. Exactly. I made sure to get on it early today. First few runs were great with natural snow falling at Stratton. Finally felt like winter. By 1030 it was scraped off and I called it a day
  24. Driving back from Vermont the rain snow line was just NE of the Ct Ny border one thing I did notice is the tops of the 57th street super talls looked to be obscured in snow above 800-1000’ I wish we had a station on top of the Nordstrom tower at 1550’. Probably be a few inches up there from this
