J.Spin Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 We’ve had very light snow for the past hour or so here in Burlington, but in the past few minutes it has really picked up and visibility is down to probably ¾ mile. The radar shows a band pushing through the area now from the north with some 30 db echoes in there: Advisory out for upslope snow tonight and tomorrow... Thanks for the heads up – I see that it stretches all the way down to eastern Addison County: The map has us in that 6-8/8-10” zone, and our point forecast through tomorrow sums to 6-11”, so that seems to be in reasonable agreement. I’m not sure exactly how things will go in the lower elevations, but it should be fun to see how it unfolds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Decent snow falling at Topnotch at 950ft on Mtn Rd. Will be here all evening. Good accumulating flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Talking BM for this weekend's track is encouraging, though a somewhat greater northerly component after that would be prferable. If it heads E/ENE, inland central Maine/NH gets another fringing. Still looks better than last weekend's glorified dusting.from afternoon AFD from GYX: AN IMPULSE ROUNDING THE BASE OF THIS UPPER LOW GIVES RISES TO ASIGNIFICANT OCEAN LOW SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND SATURDAY NIGHT. THETRACK IS ACROSS THE 40N/70W BENCHMARK...BUT EASTERLY. IF THISTRACK PANS OUT THERE WILL BE A TIGHT SOUTH-TO- NORTH GRADIENT INPRECIPITATION WITH THE HIGHEST SNOW AMOUNTS FOUND FROM SOUTHEASTNEW HAMPSHIRE INTO SOUTHWEST MAINE.

adk Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Looking really good tonight for a VERY fluffy 6-10 inches along the spine. Sundays system has some interesting features. The interaction with a norther stream low could produce a band of very heavy snow in the ADK. Not sure I'm sold on it being a major player for Nor VT. Not that another 6-8 wouldn't be awesome. Just not sold on it being a big bomb up here. At least not yet. Too much of an east component to its modeled movement once it gets up around NYC.

powderfreak Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Holy crap it is snowing hard. 1" in like 45 minutes at Topnotch on RT 108. This is like a lake effect band at this point. Choking huge dendrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Just epic. On of the best starts to an upslope event in a while. Mountain will have double digits by morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Event totals: 4.6” Snow/0.27” L.E. 2" now. I think this may be 2"/hr here now. Yeah, I’d say the rate here is similar – we had 1.9” in the past 45 min, so ~2.5”/hr. This event just pushed season snowfall past the century mark; it’s already over a half a foot of accumulation. I cleared off the back deck this morning and put down my accumulation markers to monitor the subsequent accumulations – I’ve got the J&E Productions Web Cam running, so use the link if anyone wants to monitor accumulations at this location in real time: Details from the 6:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 2.2 inches New Liquid: 0.05 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 44.0 Snow Density: 2.3% H2O Temperature: 24.6 F Sky: Heavy Snow (3-15 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 10.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nittany88 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Froude Numbers a little too high right now for me along the western slopes, have about 2" but only flurries now. We'll see what happens when the monster inversion develops later tonight and the Froude Numbers tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalWinds Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Not getting the ridiculous rates here, obviously, but 1.5" down so far this evening and snowing moderately.

At least it looked like I got a little more than downtown Montpelier last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
