I’m surprised things dried out so much. Maybe some snow showers this afternoon with some March sun heating?

There was definitely more then reported above 3,000’ here in svt. I would say around a foot. Still waiting for word from the other guys around here. Only 3” new last night at the house

Holy shit multiple reports of  9 inches in Coventry 

Crazy that’s double what I had at 1400’ in the greens 

Getting some good snow on the east side of the greens. About 2” new overnight for a total of 3” from part two + 3” from yesterday, so 6” total. I have to imagine the peaks and west side are over a foot now

Finally getting some real snow (not dust). Accumulations are still fairly light but if we keep this going for a while I’ll clear 6” here at 1400’

It’s a full on flizzard here right now. Flakes are about as small as I have ever seen almost like dust. They aren’t amounting to much however. Only about an inch new this evening on top of what’s left of the 3” from this morning. It will be interesting to see what’s up high in the morning 

Very light snow now, it’s been snowing for hours and hours but has not amounted to much. Hard to get accumulations with marginal temps and rates

My back deck. 

Wow, absolutely fantastic snow spot! Absolutely nothing like that in southern Vermont. Round one was a bust. Let’s see what 24 hours of upslope can do. It’s a flizzerd despite the radar saying what snow east of the greens.

Wow like that with the sun down it went from mangled non accumulating flakes to moderate pixie dust. Everything covered with white again!

There was a few of these elevation storms in NOV too. I have about the same as you at 1100ft in Manchester--3"(2.8" actually)--but yea in town around 750ft it was actually raining most of the morning, then just white rain rest of the day.

Curios to see how much uplsope makes it over to you in Jamaica when that kicks in--ALY mentioned a somewhat blocked flow.

 

It’s been snowing lightly but not accumulating. We’ll see after the sun goes down. If thinking an inch or two at the house and 2-4 at the mountain. Stratton normally does not do to well in west wind upslope events. The one exception of course was the 3rd nor’easter last March, but that was a whole other animal.

That map is sorta crap- well very incomplete - the band extends south on the spine just north of Mitch’s spot by about 30 miles or so 

S VT elevations like stratton were over 6” easy 

I would guess towns like Jamaica VT and Londonderry got over 6” as well . They are 1800’++

I just drove all over southern Vermont after doing a couple runs at Stratton. 

Its the most elevation dependent event I have ever seen here.

it goes from zero accumulation in Manchester to over 8” above 2500’ at Stratton. I only have about 3” at 1400 near Jamaica. I wish Mitch would post as I bet he has about 6”

I’m down in the valley in Manchester Vt and it’s a rain snow mix with zero snow on the ground! Wow what an elevation storm! It was a white out at 2,000’ coming over the spine!

It’s been ripping non stop for hours now at Stratton. Small flake size so it’s a white out blizzard above 3,000’. Getting into wind hold territory

Are you at base of Stratton with that 6" report at 1900ft?

Have 2" here.   Literally no accumulation below 900ft, not even on the grass.

I would say 8” now above 2500’ and 6ish at 1900’. Yes at Stratton base. We need this ccb to stall 

Had some good 1”+ hour rates going at 1900’ with about 6” down. It has since lightened up as the ccb oscillates 

Stuck on the wrong side of the ccb with on and off light snow

Need the pivot!

3” with a winter wonderland of paste. Rates are so Terrible right now it’s going to flip to rain soon here at 1400’ need the ccb to move east a bit 

Moderate snow continues and closing in on an inch.

Finally into moderate snow and accumulating on all surfaces. Svt 1400’

Just got to Vt and it’s 33 and raining here at 1400’. I paid close attention to rain snow lines and corresponding elevations on the way in. 

Accumulations on roads 2,000’

All snow 1800’

Rain snow mix 1600’

Sorry to hear about your friends injury. This was one of the few situations where the poconos had better snow. Was visiting a friend in the Harrisburg PA area. Skied a small fun mountain (only 600ft vertical) called Roundtop. With temps around 45, snow had prime spring conditions. Points north such as Catskills, VT, etc were all ice. No thanks. Did that earlier this year at Killington. I had a rude reminder of how much I dislike skiing on ice.

I guess you missed the later post where I did it to myself the next day. Shattered my radious and have to have surgery. If there is one rule, one rule I will stick to from here on out forever it’s no more snow boarding on ice. I’ll just not head up or do something else. 

My buddys who are mountain safety guys and I had a good talk about why mountains on the east coast stay open on severely icey days. Iron clad wavers of liability. If it’s not brown send people down.

I'm just not feeling it for me.  Marginal airmass.  If the low tracked 50 miles further east maybe.  Still time for some SE ticks.  Guess 18Z Euro was a good start

What’s your elevation? I wouldn’t give up yet. This is going to become a powerful system and there will be surprises. Definitely want to be over 1k though.

I think if it doesn't show snow it is considered boring by some on here. I am just looking for a good coastal storm regardless of precipitation type especially being down in the NYC metro area.

This one gets going too late for major coastal impacts at home. And that’s why I’m heading up to 1400’ in the greens with potential to get to 3850’.

Much needed after the dry period we entered.

Lots of mud around! Things were finally drying out enough to make land scape work easier.

I like where I stand with this one. Even if low goes way west, say up CT River or God forbid the Hudson Valley, the Greens will still do well with the TROWAL and upslope on the backside.

It could be a bona fide blizzard here for a while Friday with the TROWAL and strong W to NW upslope combined. 

The wildcard here will be if the front end is cold enough for snow, but this will depend on storm track and intensity. Too far west, and the deform band is out in NYS while we dryslot and get rain. Verbatim, the 12z Euro is some brief rain after snow and then we rip on the backside. 

I like the look of the EPS, with the mean around a foot here.

Yeah, I’m going to head up to my 1400’ refuge and watch this one play out. Elevation will be key in this one!
