powderfreak Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Heavy wind transport no? With that east wind some stuff had to end up in strange places. Wind should start to shift around to the N/NW pretty shortly here. That's going to be the next interesting time frame. Yeah odd to have the wind coming right up the Front Four out of the ENE. Anyway, here's the 1,500ft snow board at 3:30pm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adk Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Still doing anything PF? Wonder if JSpin went up to Bolton. With that east wind they might have loaded in with a ton of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Some photos from here in town as of an hour ago. Still snowing nicely. Now here at home, getting near 12" storm total with an extra few tenths in the last half hour, and there's 14" of snow on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsnowstorm628 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Burke is reporting 8" new as of 3pm. Assuming Lyndonville is probably 5-6". 1-4" additional overnight should give them my expected 8-10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klw Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 About 6 inches here as best as I can tell. There was a bit of drifting but 6 seemed to be the best number so far. Snow has only been light since about 2:30 but it is quite breezy. I expect we will see some backend snow over night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Looks like the radar is drying up quite a bit ahead of the upslope round. Even if nothing else was added I am more than thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why we are here... for snowstorms. I really enjoyed this one. Been a while since we had a widespread double digit snowfall for the bulk of the state, aside from the NEK (unfortunately)...but they could still catch up overnight on NW flow snow showers. The dog absolutely loves the snow, lol. Not sure who is more excited, her or her owner. Yard looks like mid-winter all the sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Shouldn't event 16 say 12/27? Good observation eyewall – I go with the “start” date for each event in the signature list (many are multi-day snowfall events), and this one gets a 12/26 because I caught the start of the snow and it happened to be at 11:39 P.M. yesterday evening. If I hadn’t known when it started though, it probably would have gone down as 12/27 since that was when I made the first set of observations.

Headed up this afternoon for some runs - indeed it was interesting having the funky wind direction - I'd say I actually noticed it most in the lack of wind scouring in many spots. I'll send along an update in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 JSpin literally inching me out. I had 14". Unfortunately that was measured on a previously shoveled deck instead of the table I have set up as a measuring board. 8 year old boys ftl! Luckily he didn't trample or shovel the entire deck and I was able yo get what I feel is a fairly accurate representation. I am able to say that 2"'fell from the time he got shovel happy at 4:00 and when I went out after dinner at 7:00. While not the biggest storm I've experienced, this has been one of the most satisfying ones. Probably has to do with the awfulness of last winter. Lets hope we can keep the good times rolling.

I am able to say that 2"'fell from the time he got shovel happy at 4:00 and when I went out after dinner at 7:00. Nice job getting the measurements. I can relate a bit on the trampling – my boys (7 and 9) can get pretty crazy out there in the snow, but they’re getting trained hard to know that the snowboard off the end of the deck must not be disturbed! They mess up the beautiful edges that the snow thrower makes in the driveway with their sledding, and they make other messes with their forts and all that, but the line is drawn when it comes to the main snowboard. They are actually good about staying away from the snow stake as well, but that’s a bit out of the way so it’s much easier to avoid. So far we’ve been able to live harmoniously and I’ve always been able to get the snow data. My younger son even helped to measure the liquid in one of the snow cores the other day, so that was nice. I think they get that it’s kind of fun and “sciency”, and not entirely crazy measuring all this white stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalWinds Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 This was the first time in awhile that I prepared a suitable surface for measurement here at the house. Grand total a hair under 15". I was generally unimpressed when I got up at 11am (yes, I stay up all night...sleep 4am till 11am normally...lol) Around mid afternoon, though it really started pouring. Seemed to be under a deformation axis or a stationary band of some sort for 3 hours or so. Went out with the new snow blower at 1pm and there's a whole lot more now waiting for me around noon tomorrow. Best storm in quite awhile. Let's get a couple more of these before winter's end!
