mreaves Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Ugh, typing with fat thumbs on an IPhone ftl! Anyway, in Moretown there was a continuous light snow from 6:00 to when I left at 9:00. As I drove east back to Montpelier the snow stopped and I even saw stars. I then drove to the next party on Woodbury, which is northwest of Montpelier at the base of the Worcester Range on the eastern side. As I headed back toward the higher mountains it was snowing again and continued to snow lightly until I left at midnight. Heading east back to Barre I drove out of the snow as I got away from the mountains. It really points out the enhancing effects of the mountains. Powderfreak is in one of the great spots for this type of snowfall but it really does happen in a lot of places in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 18z GFS nice snowstorm for Adirondacks through N VT, Coos County, NW Maine. Looks pretty sweet with a closing off 850 low tracking from ALB to PWN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 GFS backed off pretty good, so it looks like consensus now. How far north of the 850 are the good snows typically found and is there any cold air pushing in from Quebec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Keeping an eye on the possibility for some "surprise" flakes for the Seacoast later tonight as flow veers. HRRR, and to a lesser extent GFS and NAM, hint at some very minor accumulations after midnight. Delta Ts are approaching 20 degrees and "lake" induced CAPE values greater than 300 J/kg. Doesn't last very long before flow becomes a little disorganized, but there is a threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 A great night with the wood stoves blasting and 9F outside with snow cover. Merry Christmas fellow C/NNEnglanders (and to everyone else who reads our threads). May Santa's present tomorrow morning show a mid week sub 980mb low moving NE through the CapeCod and give us a good dump of snow, Merry Christmas, Gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I see the 10mph breeze that strikes at night to ruin radiational cooling has returned. Was down to 12F and on target for coldest night of the season. Now fluctuating between 14 and 16F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Cloudy and near zero here. It was -5 earlier, perhaps even lower, coldest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenson Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 Cloudy and near zero here. It was -5 earlier, perhaps even lower, coldest of the season. We got down to -2 at some point over night with that being the coldest of the season for us too. Now, it's 11 above with light snow falling. Merry Christmas everyone.

J.Spin Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 -SN falling, no appreciable overnight accumulation. We've been in South Burlington with family, but same thing over here – with some wind as well since it’s the Champlain Valley. I’ve been seeing general comments from BTV for accumulations in the 1 to 3 inch range for the event starting this afternoon - the alert bar for the hazardous weather outlook on the BTV NWS homepage highlights the current thoughts up pretty well: THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHERN NEW YORK...CENTRAL VERMONT...NORTHEAST VERMONT...NORTHWEST VERMONT AND SOUTHERN VERMONT. .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT. SNOW SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE REGION BY THIS AFTERNOON...AND OVERSPREAD THE NORTH COUNTRY THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. MOST AREAS WILL PICK UP 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Awesome pics Allenson! Please post more, haha. We just had a beautiful burst of snow move through the past hour and this is the fluffiest stuff yet... a quick half inch at the base and almost an inch up top already. Cars in the lot are all white and snow covered again. Tapered back to flurries as you can see on the radar (mountain makes up the county border of Lamoille/Chittenden) but we were under 1sm vis there for a while as that burst moved through.

mreaves Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Great pics Allenson. It was 1.8F when my 7 year old got up at 2:00 am to see if Santa had been by yet, 11F when he got up again at 5:00 and 12F when he got up for good at 7:00. Nice light mood snow falling on and off, keeping my fingers crossed for later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 1.3" of new snow at the ski resort base (1,550ft) since 10am. It is coming down steadily with under 1sm vis. Very fluffy stuff. High ratio fluff but man is it snowing a lot harder than I thought it would this early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 2.1" since 10am at 1,500ft. It is absolutely dumping. This is insane. Dumping in town, too... vis looks low at 800ft: And its dumping on I-89... Bolton cams show heavy snow. This is going to be crazy as it shows no sign of letting up. I'm almost wondering if we verify low end warning amounts by tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Wow! Did not expect that today. I'm speechless... just over 5" in the parking lot at 1,500ft between 10am-4pm. Now I'm down in town and we've got around 4" of new snow today and it is still snowing. 3" from a trained spotter a couple hours ago makes sense. ...LAMOILLE COUNTY...
