powderfreak Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Told ya it would pour. and 4-5" up in NNH too since midnight. Yeah you had this one for a day or two... just raking rains. Our local CoCoRAHS in Stowe Village had 2.13" and that fits with surrounding observations, very much a north/south gradient to this one. But the widespread 2-6" rainfall amounts are pretty heavy for a 6-8 hour event. Luckily it was so dry because if not, that would've been a bigger problem than most anticipated with BTV only forecasting 3/4"-1" for most of the area.

The key is to see where the low level frontogenic forcing sets up...like the 950-850 layer. That's usually where the forcing arises from and then it's off to the races. This one even had a deformation zone in it. Neat little system. Plus you had the mtns helping out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Jay Peak snow totals deserve a lot of facepalm icons. Its always tough to know... they do have an impressive Coop record with BTV and that 25-year data set is used in all the local modeling for upslope in the northern Greens. Aside from them and the Mansfield Coop there's no real long period of record along the northern Spine. I'm trying to get some records going and have a pretty decent 4-year stretch of snowfall but so far have no liquid data except bi-weekly snow cores. It would be very hard to do this for 25 years though, so props to them for keeping it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 That is a really big difference. Didn't see the overnight radar loop, but it must've been a band just north of the pike that got us and missed you and N. CT. I'm using the 2.6" rainfall number from the Davis Pro, and although I'd like to not get involved a debate over it's accuracy, suffice to say it was substantially more that .6". But in the last 30 days not including last night, we've had 3" on Aug. 10th and 11th, 1" on the 16th, and a .5" on the 28th. Obviously the random pop-up heavy rainers are hit or miss, but has it really been that much dryer up there? In any case, winter is not too far away and our days for jackpotting are numbered. Yeah, it's been dry here, I'm sure MPM and Lurker up in Bernardston will concur. Everything has been missing us to the N & S. The beaver pond behind the house is currently a wetlands meadow. lol Hopefully we can remedy that before ice skating season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the measurements are accurate, but I heard a few stories of people actually there saying it was a little questionable and ski areas love to gloat about snow...so I wouldn't be shocked. But, I'm not there to measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterfish55 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Crazy pouring rains here now. WOW! I was working in Taunton this morning and it poured for about 30 minutes with some thunder. I'm showing .98" at home since midnight and over 2.25" since yesterday. Hearing lots of thunder now as round 2 seems to be moving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 In watching the LES bands last Winter, Jay was getting some on a wsw wind from Ontario and some on a west wind off Georgian Bay. These bands were probably moving over the Champlain Valley of NY/VT with little more than flurries and then upsloping into Jay. Of course that's just one way they get Upslope and maybe not responsible for most of it. That's pretty cool they have been doing it for 25 years.
