Just floor up to Vermont and there is tree damage everywhere. One of the coolest drives up I have had. From nothing down near Greenfield to boom. About a foot here at 1200’ but more then two up around 2000’. Power trucks were stationed in the in the 7/11 down at the Stratton base.

Cool.  Thanks for the advice.  I think the rain will just at to the density of the pack.....especially with the ice at the start.  Doesn't look like a ton of rain.  Probably some good compaction though.

Sweet, I’ll be at Stratton all weekend. 

The reason they are reporting less snow then bromely is they only started recording it last week. I promise you they have had more snow then bromley which is much lower in elevation. Let me know if you have any questions I know the place like the back of my hand. Feel free to say hello. I’ll post a pic of myself 

Sleet rain mix on the Uws

Yeah Oct 05 here had over 13" of rain alone, that followed Sept which was extremely dry though with just 0.53".

I think we had about 20” in SE Nassau

With 19.36" of precip this autumn, this has been the wettest on my station record, beating 2005 when 18.50" fell.

Wow that’s very impressive. October 05 was a disaster in my area. The whole water table rose and for the first and only time in 33 years we had a foot of water in my basement 

Had a sleet/snow/rain mix in wantagh

Ya man you be jammin

Always jammin. From NYshitty to Vermont and back again every weekend. Unless we happen to have a big storm in NYC on the weekend, than I’m stuck doing snow removal

The cabin up at Stratton

Well...I got home after a week away and found over 20" in my driveway. Measuring is hard, but my depth is between 20-25". How much of that's from before this event, I don't know, but it couldn't have been much. Accounting for compaction, I likely had well over 20" for the event, including the upslope.

I'll try to get some more detailed measurements and dig through it tomorrow to try and gauge what's old vs. new. 

The journey back here from BDL was interesting. Partly cloudy and windy all the way to Greenfield with no snow except for some isolated piles left from 11/15.  As soon as I start ascending route 2 west of the Greenfield rotary, you start to get into some snow cover. 

~1K in Shelburne and Colrain looked to have several inches of crusty snow and there were pixie dust flurries in the high beams on Greenfield Road in Colrain even though the upslope was way to the west and skies were mostly clear directly overhead. It's neat how those flakes can get advected so far downstream from where they're generated. The flurries and snow pack gradually increased as I headed NW. There were lots of down branches and trees, many hanging precariously over route 112 and 100 and even on wires in west Halifax, Whitingham and Readsboro. 

Roads were snow covered by the time I got to Whitingham. It temporarily subsided to just wetness in Readsboro center as that drops to ~1.1K by the Deerfield River. The last few miles is where the upslope was most intense, reaching near moderate intensity here. It has since tapered off though.

Tried to upload photos but it won't let me anymore since my file size was decreased dramatically from before. It used to be ~10 mb, now it's 0.9 mb.

Epic and great play by play. Looking forward to your obs all winter. I be a few miles to your NE in Jamaica on weekends.

Someone was selling a cabin in Woodford  on a local FB group here in SVT.  Think it was like 38K-the foundation was failing with walls collapsing and leaning toward the lake, but hey, sacrifices need to be made for 200" 

38k and 200”... I think I can deal with a collapsing house!

1 hour ago, ENYsnow said:

Yeah he did, I forget the dates but they got 4-5 feet over like 4-5 days there.

It was the second and third storm last March. We had 36” at Stratton followed by another 24”. And yes Woodford is the ultimate snow spot in the southern greens. I plan on eventually buying in that vicinity. As high as possible!

It has to actually accumulate somewhere. I highly doubt anyone reported measurable snow today in this area.

I thought flakes in the air is a trace, but I could be wrong 

Just saw a couple flakes on the uws so the day goes in for a trace.

3.5" overnight of more typical fluff, storm total of 11.4" at 7am.  Some -SN right now, not expecting much more, maybe another 1".  Saw about 30 utility trucks gearing up this morning. Lost power for a couple hours yesterday, flickering a little still this morning.

26.8" for NOV--looking on xmacis2- this month moves to #1 NOV spot for the SVT valley towns from Bennington up through Manchester/Dorset in Bennington County. That follows up with March '18 also being in the #1 spot. Quite a year.

It’s incredible. I left early last April after a powder day with the mountain still buried and followed that right up with an epic opening weekend. I would call in sick right now and head up early for the weekend but I’m still knee deep in leaves on campus and can’t just screw my coworkers. 

23” and counting storm total at Stratton. Mega hit for svt any time of year.

He is terrible, but of course there are quite a few terrible weathercasters in this area. The only ones I like are Lee Goldberg, Jeff Smith, Nick Gregory and Craig Allen.

Couldn’t agree more. This is the media capital of the country so why can’t you have personality and real degrees like those guys. Other then them it’s a bunch of personality’s. And while we are on the topic I cannot stand Dr Navarro on the TWC. She is so damn choppy it’s incredible, almost gives Amy freeze a run for her money.

Back on topic, I really like the massive snow pack building to our north. That’s going to help with locally generated cold barring a major melt down.

Wasn't that the original call anyway? Warm December followed by cold and snowy particularly February?

Yup, my call at least. Always best to follow recent trends and overall atmospheric state. That screams backloaded winter 

2 hours ago, EastonSN+ said:

Good thing they mention only a relaxation of the pattern, not a flip.

Verbatim that’s a flip. But I would expect this with a developing nino pattern. Also, following the trend of recent years a back loaded winter seems like the game plan. The question is when exactly.

If that black hole over Alaska becomes a permanent feature, then you could kiss this winter goodbye. 

Very bad signs heading forward.

Your post in the NE thread is a joke. Obviously went in there trolling. Winter is over before it started? 01/02 repeat coming?

i would happily bet my life savings you are so so so wrong on that. Your posts had been better for a while and now your straight trolling. This is what keeps quality posters away.

6.1" on .72" LE at 1100ft at new place at 8am.  Definitely an elevation gradient here in the valley.  About 1.5" at 700-750ft in the middle of town around 8am.

Total paster out there, still some Mod snow falling, probably closed to 7" now after the board clear. Definitely 12"+ in the east slope towns with elevation and at the ski areas I would think.

Just saw this, yeah Stratton is deporting 14” as of early this morning. Mid mountain cam definitely looks like well over a foot. My house for this winter is also at 1100 but on the east side right outside Jamaica so it will be interesting comparing observations.

14” at Stratton and counting. Can’t wait to see the gradient. 

Just had a period of very strong winds on the uws. I checked the buoys and the NY harbor bouy was basically light wind and then shifted Sw. low center appears to be heading right over us. 1.27” at wantagh and counting

Pounding at 1100ft on the western slopes of Greens even with some downsloping. Had .45" of rain before the flip about an hour ago. Roads are getting really bad at 1200ft+.

 

 

 

Nice good to hear, it looked like some sleet was mixed in earlier even at 2500’. New house is just outside Jamaica this year at 1100’

It was under hazardous weather for what ever reason.

And like that, the flood advisory is now showing. 

Moderate rain continues on the uws

Started as rain at 750ft but snowing hard on web cams at the ski resort base.  

Some catpaws mixed in at 750ft with heavier echoes.  

Looks to be sleet/snow mix on the Stratton mid mountain cam at 2500’

At least you guy's don't live in the Mid ATL where it gets late early.

I Would consider from about Monmouth county NJ north and east closer to NE then MID ATL. That’s certainly been the case the last decade. 

I think it’s inevitable we see a relaxation. But a full on coast to coast torch ala 01/02 is extremely unlikely.
