MaineJayhawk Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Rained pretty good last night, and that was about it. No evidence of snowfall here. Roads are a bit icy in the distant interior this morning, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Nice little event here. Haven't been out to measure yet but looks to be about 3". I agree with that this is better than fluf that just poofs away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Event totals: 2.4” Snow/0.22” L.E. It took a bit of time for the snow to start accumulating yesterday evening since the temperatures were initially above freezing, but it eventually got going. A lot of the accumulation seemed to happen when that bolus of yellow echoes came through: The overall snow density came in fairly high with the dense, slushy stuff as the bottom of the core, but it was almost ¼” of liquid. It sounds like we might have the chance for a bit more snow as well – the point forecast here sums to the 5-10” range through Thursday night, although that’s a bit higher than what is likely in the lower elevations based on the forecast discussion from BTV: .SHORT TERM /7 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 348 AM EST WEDNESDAY...FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE NORTHWEST WITH TIME TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. THIS WILL HELP ENHANCE UPSLOPE SNOW...ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTHERN ADIRONDACKS AND NORTHERN VERMONT. THE AREA COVERAGE OF THE UPSLOPE SNOW SHOULD INCREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON THURSDAY BEFORE GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF. FROUDE NUMBER...WHICH INDICATES THE EXISTENCE OF BLOCKED FLOW...SUGGESTS THE FLOW WILL BECOME BLOCKED LATER TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...THUS LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW SHOULD EVEN DEVELOP FOR THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE...LOOKING AT 1-3 OR 2-4 INCHES IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF NORTHERN NEW YORK AND NORTHERN/CENTRAL VERMONT WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS...4 TO 8 INCHES...IN THE MOUNTAINS. MOST OF THE SNOW SHOULD OCCUR LATER TONIGHT AND THE FIRST HALF OF THURSDAY AND FUTURE SHIFTS WILL NEED TO EXAMINE SCENARIO FOR POSSIBLE ADVISORIES. Below I’ve got the north to south listing of snowfall totals from the Vermont ski areas that I’ve seen reported in so far. Heading from north to south, it seems that Bolton & MRG did fairly well: Jay Peak: 4” Burke: 3” Smuggler’s Notch: 2” Stowe: 4” Bolton Valley: 6” Mad River Glen: 8” Sugarbush: 5” Pico: 4” Killington: 4” Okemo: 4” Bromley: 4” Stratton: 3” Mount Snow: 4” Details from the 6:00 A.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 2.4 inches New Liquid: 0.22 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 10.9 Snow Density: 9.2% H2O Temperature: 26.6 F Sky: Partly Cloudy Snow at the stake: 8.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polski Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 So if the flow is going to become blocked we're looking at bigger accum along western-facing slopes, right? The latest KBTV AFD doesn't specify. Yesterday afternoon their AFD said Froude number would be between 1-2 but now it sounds like it'll decrease to <1 as the upslope event progresses. (n00b questions I know; plotting ski destination(s) for tomorrow/Fri) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 0.3" fluff at the start, 0.1" IP at the end (though a patch of 20-25 dbz went over MBY 7:30-8 this morning - 1/4"?), and almost 0.6" RA at 32-33F in between. Not quite the 4-8" anticipated - more warmth at 925? Late redevelopment? Some of both? GYX at 3 AM was still thinking 2-4" backside wraparound for the foothills - would've been nicer for the roads than that sleet. Mile Hill was nasty, rear wheels started doing their own thing half a dozen times during the climb, until I moved over to the untracked IP area; the pebble-grain was better than the packed ice. Several twisty-curly tire tracks, and a van (Kaplan Electric) crosswise in the ditch on the south side of the hill. Recent gfs runs offer some hope for the weekend, though the chance for cirrus/flurries probably remains for inland areas, and also some blue bombs out in clown range.

(n00b questions I know; plotting ski destination(s) for tomorrow/Fri) Correct. http://www.erh.noaa.gov/btv/mountain/profile/froude/ Eastern Slopes want 1-2. Western slopes cash in between 0.5-1.0 .If it gets too low, like down to near 0.25, the Champlain Valley takes home the prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.

We may not jackpot (that is of course always reserved for interior SE MA or CT), but I think we'll end up doing OK. Maybe I'm just trying to cheer myself up after last night's unmitigated disaster.
