J.Spin Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Top of Mansfield and Jay Peak dusted white perhaps? Yes, there was definitely fresh snow visible on the peaks this morning from the precipitation we had overnight (0.57” of liquid in the gauge down here at the house in Waterbury as of 6:00 A.M.). I didn’t get a chance to get a picture, but it was gorgeous once the sun came out. The snow line on Mt. Mansfield looked to be around 3,500’ by the time I saw it mid morning, but there was still an inch of fresh snow reported as of the late afternoon report from the Mt. Mansfield co-op. We’re thinking of heading to Jay Peak for some skiing tomorrow, and with the frost advisory out for our area tonight (not for Jay Peak and the Northeast Kingdom though because their growing season technically hasn’t started yet), it should be nice for the corn snow cycling as long as it gets down near freezing and lets the snow really tighten up.

Allenson Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Got all the way down to 32f by this morning with some light frost. Crystal clear this morning--not sure the last time we saw skies so blue. Hey PF--didn't have time to compile anything but sniff around here for various locales and monthly totals: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/climate/xmacis.php?wfo=btv A few select montly totals to date: 2.53" here so far in May. 2.90" at the BTV office. 2.04" in Montpelier. 4.91" on Mansfield. 2.47" in Rutland. 2.10" in St. J. 2.39" in Woodstock.

powderfreak Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Thanks Allenson...good to see some much needed rainfall back home. I saw a BTV disco that said BTV was .5" over normal precip since March 1. Gotta be getting nice and green now. Only 7" left at the Mansfield stake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenson Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Bump? Anyway, 0.29" in the bucket this morning. A little bit of an underperformer so far but we'll see what else is in store for the next 24 hours. Crickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenson Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Winter can't come back soon enough.. I hear ya...in some ways anyway. Having a high snow-maintenance & wood heated home as I do, the break from winter is nice. It's always looming, always around the corner, ever in my thoughts & plans though. Also, the true rural lifestyle dictates that we take advantage (not that you don't) of the full annual cycle and I'm not sure I'd appreciate winter as I do without the other side of the year. Anyhow, a little lull in the rain atm but the radar showing what looks to be a hefty slug en route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a more troubling note, I do not like this pattern of Tuesday rain events. Tuesday is golf night and there have been 4 in a row that have had rain and now this may be the second in a row to be rained out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, It looks like tonight will be cancelled like last week, If the course does not allow the carts out there is no league, I played there last night and it was almost unplayable without anymore rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight is not an official league, there are 12 or so of us that get together to play on Tuesdays, we all throw $3 in and that gets split 3 ways - low gross, low net and low number of putts, then there are all the games within each foursome. Anyway, this rain is nice for regrowing grass in the areas that had to be rebuilt after Irene but we do need some sun as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be including the late April drenching. I know MBY has gotten less rain than points south from most events this spring, but the May total was only up to 2.49", including the 0.30" I dumped out this morning, maybe a tenth or so since. However, adding in the 3.2" during the last week of April puts the total up near 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenson Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Another 0.42" in the bucket this morning from yesterday's rains. Up to 3.24" for May after finishing April at 3.44". Very murky out there now....and of course the big question for today is how much clearing and subsequent instability will we see before the front? Looking at some webcams, the sun is out west of the Daks but murky from the High Peaks eastward. We'll see....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can see Moosilauke (4810') in the morning (no clouds, meaning) I'll have a gander and see what I see. It got pretty whitened on May 9/10, 2010: Even here, we could be looking at low/mid 30s for Friday morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
