tamarack Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Had 58/29 yest, snow dropped 4" to leave a soggy 12" at the stake. Down to 30 with a few flakes at 6:45 this AM, enough to firm up the road, including the ruts I made coming home yest. Snow had crusted enough to easily support the 8-9 turkeys that crossed the road 500' from our place. Wind still roaring and making the house creak this morning. If the models are right (and they've all been consistent in showing the torch next week thru at least the equinox), my snow will be gone by about St. Patty's Day. Unless we were to get some spring snowfall, that would put 11-12 very competitive with 99-00 for worst snowcover year in my 14 here. With Dec 99 not having a single day with 1" OG, that earlier winter had just 86 days with 1"+, worst by about 20 days until this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adk Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Took a few laps around he timberline glacier. About 1-2 inches of new snow by the time I left at 7:30. Winds were moving stuff around pretty good. Felt like december with icy pistes, grass poking up and temps in the mid 20s. Got a sense it's all going melt out by the end of next week. There was LOTS of water still running under the snow.

ctsnowstorm628 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 3.5" new snow overnight at 3,000ft. Pretty well forecasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Winter gets off the mat and staggers to its corner. One last jab tonight? Snowing moderately. Dusting down. Caught a heavy band of snow driving between manchester and rutland. Almost whiteout at times. Weekend should be nice. 4" last night. Maybe something tonight. The way its been all winter. Despite the lack of snow overall, the timing has been good for weekend turns in the greens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Snow let up for a few mins and is now back to 2-5-01 levels... 4.5" in the last hour. Starting to redevelop a bit on radar. If this lasts another hour, it'll be my biggest storm of the year and will happen on a night where my forecast calls for cloudy and a 30% chance of snow showers.

OceanStWx Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 up to 6" now. Those are some hefty snowfall rates... Glad I'm long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Those are some hefty snowfall rates... Glad I'm long term. Yeah the first hour was madness. It's let up quite a bit now. The whole thing has been all giant super fluffy flakes that stack up nicely. You can walk through it like it's not even there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can walk through it like it's not even there. Short term models are picking up the signal pretty well. 21z SREF was hitting on higher probabilities of the DGZ being greater than 100 mb for southern NH. Confirms those higher ratios.

eekuasepinniW Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Precip moved away on radar but it's still snowing lightly. Up to 7.25" My father took the plow off his truck a few days ago and left his tools out tonight. He's going to wake up and then meltdown in a little over 3 hours.

Holy crap... did you say 4.5" in an hour earlier? Had some good 1/2sm to even 1/4sm vis at BTV over to MPV but nothing near those snowfall rates. Right around 2" here in Stowe village... very, very fluffy stuff. Very similar to our usual upslope high ratio snow. It almost looks chunky on the top due to the massive dendrites and the way they stack up, not smooth like needles or smaller flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Umm, I just woke up and haven't done any official obs yet but there's like 4" of new snow out there. Last I looked "accumulations of less than one-half inch" were all I saw..... Back later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 4" to be exact. Total fluff bomb. LOL at the special weather statement issued at 6:05am. No worries though. I'd rather be surprised this way than the other. Is this one of those norlun thingys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 2-3" at the mountain... folks from the Montpelier area are coming in saying around 4" there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adk Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 2-3 on top of the 3 from yesterday...that's going to make stowe excellent today and tomorrow in the warming spring conditions. Awesome that I get to work at my desk all weekend. Long range models showing some cool thoughts midweek with "backdoor" cold from low off the east keeping 850s below 0c tues night thru thurs am. Not that it really matters as long range is absurdly warm. My only hope is that if we do go warm damnit let it be warm and dry and sunny. Nothing is worse than 55, breezy, and humid. PUKE.

mreaves Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 2-3" at the mountain... folks from the Montpelier area are coming in saying around 4" there. Yeah just went out and measured, 4.5 inches here in Barre Town. That's 6.5 inches on the last 2 days. Considering that there is very little snow left around here even in the woods, this is like scoring baskets in the last minute when you are down by 30. It is beautiful though and I will be headed up to Stowe in a while to do some snowmobiling in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenson Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Me too. Get it while ya can. Don't turn you back on snow-ow. This 4" puts me over 70" for the season. Fairly respectable this year anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 LOL...Scott has me beat by a little bit, but I'll take my 2.3" and counting. The water equiv is only 0.09" so it's roughly 25:1. Scott...that reminds me of the NORLUN in Dec 07 that dropped 14" here. At least you're able to gain on me after your October disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Sugarbush showing 4" at the base and 11" at mid-mountain and then 10" at the summit. Interesting spread but impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't much snow left in the fields in town... hope you mean some higher elevation spots around here. Woods still have solid cover but a lot of the fields between here and Morrisville got torched pretty good by the sun from the top, and dirt from the bottom.

Hitman Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 You should have a good day with what the Bush is reporting overnight. That's an understatement. Wahoo! Never thought id see double digits on the snow report. Theyre consistently conservative but ill take one for the team and check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvysnow79 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 4" here. I was just about to put first trace in the Snow depth column this morning in cocorahs, I guess a few more gasps left in ole man winter. This brings us to 45" here in the Valley.
