weatherMA Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Saw a few flurries a few minutes ago. At least I think I did. Down to 38F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 That's a double bunner, lol. You know it's early in the season when you are content to watch like 10sm --SN flakes blow by the flood light on the deck outside. This stuff probably wouldn't even be picked up by an ASOS sensor it's so light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 26° when I left home this morning. I thought there were a couple of flurries floating around last night when I took the dog out around 10:00 but then assuumed I was just having a weenie hallucination. Alas there were several snowflakes on the car roof this morning so I guess I wasn't just seeing things. The windows of the car were frozen shut from the rain that fell yesterday, the joys of living in VT without a garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ono Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Snow showers just popped up in underhill. One minute stratiform clouds obscure Manny, the next minute snow. Varga maybe. Looks pretty solid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Couple of flurries floating around in downtown Montpelier. Standing outside the Statehouse waiting for my son's fourth grade field trip to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Snow showers just popped up in underhill. One minute stratiform clouds obscure Manny, the next minute snow. Varga maybe. Looks pretty solid though. Pretty nice burst of snow here in Stowe on RT 108. Fluffy, upslope flakes. This is the real stuff, floating down, filling the sky in bursts. Looks like from me to J.Spin should be getting some decent snow shower activity. We'll see how long this sticks around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Near whiteout too. 6SM. I can't believe you don't have an SPS out for travelers on I91/89 in that area. I mean, you might think there are scattered paint chips flying off the truck in front of you, not snow flakes. Irresponsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I am hoping we can get something into the CPV during the Monday event but we shall see. Either way it looks like my squall shots may have to wait if that event is primarily nocturnal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klw Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Estimated Froude is 0.3 right now.

MaineJayhawk Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 I think anytime someone else uses the word Froude in this thread, Powderfreak needs to drink.

Nittany88 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Estimated Froude is 0.3 right now. Just a word of precaution on the Estimated Froude. That's based off the Mount Mansfield wind sensor, so if that freezes up or has faulty data, it's also going to be faulty. I'm gonna bet that the wind on Mansfield is much stronger than 10 knots right now as its reporting. Now available on there is: http://www.erh.noaa.gov/btv/mountain/profile/greens.txt This is model based and also offers a prediction. The flow today is very unblocked as shown by the model, and confirmed by the soundings this afternoon and reports that the snow is making it well across the mountains. Also the precip is quite cellular and convective as noted by the graupel reports, also a signature of unblocked flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I think we are down to 1/2sm moderate snow at the mountain right now. Hardest I've seen it snow yet this season which isn't saying much lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
