drew13btv Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Just drove on I-89 from Williston through to Winooski. Still pretty bad with some very low-visibility conditions at times. Thankfully most people are seemingly staying off the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Does anyone know where the season snow total for Burlington stands? According to the Free Press, as of 9 am it is 119.5. #5 all time for BTV. http://blogs.burlingtonfreepress.com/weather/2011/03/07/snowstorm-rages-biggest-since-07/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hvysnow79 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Snowing at a good clip here in Lebanon now and wife back in Orford reporting the same. Already a white coating on top of the other slop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caberg Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Made it to downtown Burlington this morning. Absolutely no way to tell how much fell as of 7 am when I was shoveling my driveway, as the snow was drifting all over the place. Shoveling was a bit@h. Saw numerous cars stuck, sitting idle with flashers on. It's snowing pretty hard right now, and blowing like crazy. Hard to tell what is falling snow and what is just snow blowing around. Given that there is hardly anyone in my building today, I think I can sneak out early.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenson Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'll be adding to the storm total myself as we'd picked up more snow/sleet since last post. Nothing like western VT...but better than points east (sorry guys). Not to Toot-Toot my own horn but, from the old thread: Mike is right though that someone has the potential to get ripped with a lot of IP/ZR. Wouldn't be surprised to see that around here while it's puking snow in the 'Daks and Champlain Valley and pouring rain on the coast..... Yeah, as I mentioned earlier, lot of sleet here--probably 4" or so of my 24 hour total was in the form of sleet.In Hanover, NH now--looks like it was quite a bit of ZR here, which we didn't get at all up at the house. Very cool phenomena all along the Connecticut River. That puppy was blue--the ice, the thaw, the rain, the ZR, the sleet, the snow, lot-a friggin water flowing south right now under the still iced-over river. As seen from the bridge between Thetford, VT and Lyme, NH: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adk Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Burlington could top Valentines Day 2007... I think they top 25-26" without a doubt if they had 20"+ by 8am. Low level northerly flow is causing major enhancement in the Champlain Valley right now... they've gotta be snowing 1-2"/hr near the lakeshore still. This is without a doubt the storm of the season up here. Totally agree...def. the biggest since V-Day 07 for WIDESPREAD mountain and Valley snows. That band rolling thru the champlain valley is intense. Scoped out the surface streamlines as well and they show some good surface convergence right in BTV valley. They will hit 30.

ctsnowstorm628 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 looks to be about 18 or 19 unofficially here in Lyndonville...we mixed with sleet from 4-6am this morning and switched right back to all heavy snow...took a drive to downtown (750ft) and there were tiny flakes coming down lightly to moderately, but back up at the school (1,000ft) its coming down like gang busters! my buddy went skiing at 830am and since then there is 5" in his parking space (there was none at 830). Great storm and could of been better had we not mixed with sleet...waiting for the heavier banding to work through later this afternoon! Probably will end up with 24ish". 18.9/18.1 SN 1/4SM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that much for you--sweet! That'll keep the trails going. Funny, driving into Bradford and back yesterday I saw eight snowmobiles perched on people's snowbanks with 'for sale' signs on them. They'll prob'ly pull them back down and go for a few more rides now. The difference was the sleet vs. snow factor plus the snow-line taking longer to get here than to you folks in Barre. It didn't get to us till about 4pm yesterday. When I went to bed it was still straight-on snow here and 3"+ but I woke up in the middle of the night to loud pings. Our precip yesterday went like this: rain (10am-4pm) -- sleet (4-4:30pm) -- snow (4:30-??) -- sleet (?? -- 7:00am) and snow ever since. We'll be pushing 8-9" by the time she's all wound down. Crazy stuff and quite the friggin' ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy stuff and quite the friggin' ride. Probably 20 inches, been hard to measure, but snow just picked back up. I know that both cars were absolutely buried this morning and it is above my knees. Two was a little bit of hyperbole to emphasize the gradient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 It continues to snow 1"/hr... this just will not quit! We are going to have two feet down in the village from this and two to three feet on the mountain. I still can't believe the size of the drifts up there. Our long-time ski patrol director said those were some of the largest drifts he has ever seen on parts of the mountain. There's one drift that is at least 12 feet high behind the Octagon (our summit lodge/cafe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalWinds Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I've only lived up here for 13 years, but I've never seen anything like this...and that includes 14 Feb 07. A lot of drifting, but I picked some sheltered areas and took ten different measurements for an average of 21" as of 15 minutes ago. I don't even know where to start with the snow blowing. I have four foot drifts right up against my garage door and at the bottom of my driveway where it meets the road, the plows have created a wall that a mountain climber would be proud to scale. Still coming down at a good clip. We never went over to sleet last night ( I was up until 5am) but it came awfully close...couldn't have been too far SE of Barre. There was a lull between 4am and 5am and was just picking back up when I went to bed. Did I mention I moved here after living in Panama City, Fl. for 18 years? But I gotta tell you....I love it!
