    I had one of my favorite mornings at Stratton of all time yesterday. I made sure to be there for first chair and had the place to myself until about 10 when everyone started showing up after New Years party’s. The 2” of sleet and ice had filled in gaps and 6” of snow over the following two days made for deceptively great conditions. Obviously it wasn’t enough to call it epic as it gets beat hard by afternoon. But for that golden 1.5 hours it was truly special.

    It’s exploded already more then likely, we just haven’t seen it yet. For everyone complaining about the lack of snow you do not have to go far to get to deep winter. I just saw every possible winter weather precip type over a three day period in Vermont. 1/4” ice storm, 2” of sleet including a sleet thunderstorm with 6 bolts. 4” of snow, a light snow break that lasted 24 hours and added another inch. And finally a snow squall that dropped 2” in 20 minutes.

    Had 6 amazing bolts and some of the heaviest and largest sleet I have ever witnessed in southern Vermont. Really impressive stuff.

    Heavy sleet mixed with mangled flakes now in southern Vermont. Looks like the column is finally cooling
  5. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Sleet and snow grains at 1200’ in southern Vermont. About .10” of accretion last night while it was all freezing rain.

    Pretty brutal conditions at Stratton today with limited terrain and shave ice on ice. Monster crowds and lots of newbs made for allot of crashes. They actually stoped spinning the upper mountain lifts early when it got too ridiculous. Tomorrow will be interesting to say the least.

    Thanks! I appreciate you taking a look. I guess it is clouds and some snow. Normally there are lights on the cams. I wonder if mountain ops turned the lights off so people will not look at the precip types all night! Regardless it’s been an interesting night here for sure! Still just freezing rain at the house at 1200’

    Interesting, it’s dumping snow at 3800’ now on the Stratton summit cam. I guess the warm layer is stuck somewhere in the 3000’ range. https://www.stratton.com/the-mountain/webcams

    I just had the worst drive of my life heading from dinner at Stratton to my house at 1200’ outside Jamaica Vermont. Even with a truck in 4 wheel drive I had to drive 2 mph with one set of tires in the ditch for traction. I had never experienced ice like that on a road. Took 2 hours to go 3 miles. Moderate rain and 28 will do that.

    Fits with the default pattern of the 2010s. It’s close the shades for a couple weeks at least.

    It’s the depreciation. The second you drive off the lot it’s like throwing dozens of hundred dollar bills out the window

    Not a shocker there, the guys beyond brilliant. About as benign a weather pattern as you will see, incoming. At least we aren’t wasting cold air with no precip. That, I’m ok with

    Just had another .5” with the last batch on the uws so 1” on the day. Had some cool grapul earlier too, definitely convective snow showers
  14. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Nice, looks like more then the uws. About .25-.5” here
  15. LongBeachSurfFreak
    That was nuts on the uws, on par with last winter
  16. LongBeachSurfFreak
    That’s one of the better squalls we have seen in a while, maybe not as strong as the one last winter, but solid.
  17. LongBeachSurfFreak
    There are cars here on the uws entombed in ice. Pretty cool to see!
  18. LongBeachSurfFreak
    If we can get the storm track right at some point later in the winter we can easily reach snow fall averages in a hurry.

    Yep, I’m putting in a few years building my resume here and then the plan is to move to a college in New England and run their grounds department and snow removal. Tons of schools up there that need a head of grounds. I’m so over New York City, I’d rather drive to work With no traffic from my 40 acre house.

    Had the same thing in wantagh surprisingly. Temp held at 31.8 for hours. Even cars were completely iced over. Makes sense for you up there but it was completely unexpected on the south shore
  21. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Temps are rising on the island so I would assume you will too. WWAs advisory for freezing rain (warranted overnight) were just issued for the island just in time for the temp to crack freezing. Most significant ice even in wantagh for several years with trees sagging
  22. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Still 31.8 in wantagh on the south shore, glaze On trees and colder surfaces.
  23. LongBeachSurfFreak
    31.8 at the wantagh meso right now as well. Glaze on trees and cars! I was not expecting that here at all!!!!’
  24. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Your going to have to go 2 hours north of the city for a nice snow storm with this one, 80s style. I do not think anyone wants a crippling ice storm or mid 30s and heavy rain that we going to see south of there.
