Rick, there is no snow at all at my elevation of 1100 feet. Down in the protected valley at the bottom of my hill there is like 1" in the shaded areas. My friends went up to Lincoln yesterday and said there was a bit more, perhaps a couple of inches but that is all. The Southern Whites are basically bare or thinly snow covered. I see Coles Pond webcam in Vermont at 2000 feet has 5" but Nashville VT webcam has only an 1-2". Unless you are near the spine of the Vermont mountains it is bare or very thinly snow covered. Weird for Jan 1!

Have a great 2012!

Yeah that west side in Nashville, VT gets blow torched easily... western slope loses snow so much quicker than the east slope, even if they get more accumulations in some of the upslope events. Its like wxmanmitch vs. ski_MRG.... Mitch can sometimes cash in on upslope but Pete will win in terms of snow cover.

For example, Nashville got like a foot in that last upslope event but is down to 1-2" while we only got like 4-5" and yet we still have around 5" on the ground. Nashville has gotten a decent bit of snow this winter but they melt out every thaw while here on the east slope of the Greens we've had continuous snowcover for some time. And we are about as close to the Spine as Nashville, literally just on the otherside from them.

It is still quite the lackluster year for snow and snowpack though... I'm not trying to say it isn't by any stretch of the imagination. My snow stake at 1,500ft only has 8" at it right now. 3,000ft has a paltry 20".

Have no fear ..LC is calling for cold and damaging icestorms

After the Panhandle Hooker B system gets out of the way around January 11, the trailing cold front should reach a line from S TX into SE NC. Small disturbance will form over the Gulf Coast of Texas, then roll northeastward into Virginia before passing offshore. The harshest cold, associated with the motherlode descending from Alaska, will likely occupy the Upper Midwest and northern Intermountain Region (while California will be bedeviled by Santa Ana episodes with downslope warming). Breakaway pieces of cold air will easily infiltrate the Great Lakes and the Northeast. I see potential for two hazards: ice storm threats from OK/N TX into middle Appalachia and the northern half of the Interstate 95 corridor, as well as heavy rain/thunder across much of Dixie close to the frontal structure.

Stay tuned. This is going to be a mess, one way or the other.

For you and I, it tends to be either wet or white. Remember the event in 1993-94 when ORH was zr and 9F while we were ripping snow and 16?

Yeah ice really isn't an option for us.

I was in Brockton during that winter and I don't recall something like that, but I suppose it's possible with a big high to the ne. I think I do remember thinking how cold it was at ORH in freezing rain, so it might have been that event.
