powderfreak Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I was wondering about that. I had expected to be warmer by now. Still white slop on the ground here in downtown MPV as well. Yeah, this is what should lead to a flash freeze later....it all seems to crash at once...maybe we mix out the surface cold briefly, but we aren't getting out of the 30s today. I've been between 33-35F for the past 5 hours, and this isn't a CAD situation, just keeping the SFC track barely to our east. BTV is going to have issues later today (the actual city, not NWS) with flash freeze. I've seen this many times before, where they'll flash over quicker just due to the fact that the cold has absolutely nothing stopping it from pouring south out of Canada down the valley. Whereas east of the mountains we may be a tick slower in dropping as the surface cold tries to cross the mountains and seep through the cracks in the Spine.

Allenson Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Had a little over 2" last night before the change to sleet around midnight and plain old rain sometime thereafter. It was coming down pretty nicely last eve and hung in the upper 20s for longer than I expected. All a-slop this morning though. Over an inch of liquid as of 7am with more to add from whatever comes down today/tonight. Off to CT tomorrow. I'd rather say home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvysnow79 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 This last surge of mod rain has also brought a spike up in temps as you can see on the mesomap, temp here is now 43 and noticing the snow disappearing a bit quicker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I just wanted to thank you all for the feedback on condo/house locations. I'll look at Bolton, but I have to balance out "snow-weenieness" with ease of renting, convenience, all seasons appeal, etc. The truth is - if I were to pick a place to live, I'd pick VT in a heartbeat. But Lincoln is pretty sweet for convenience to Boston, and SO much to do around there. I love driving up the Kanc, walking around Conway, driving up to Mt Washington, and both Loon (when not crowded) and Cannon (anytime!) are pretty decent ski resorts. So, all in all,I think I will stick to looking in that area... for now, until I decide it's time to move for snowier grounds. PS: I never post but you guys are fantastic. It's great to see your reports, and unlike some on here, I'm happy ANYTIME someone is getting snow. Yeah if you are looking for something to do, Bolton may not be the best place. Its a great spot though if you happen to live/work in the area and are just looking for a place to do some recreation out your front door and sleep at night. As was stated before, the Stowe area or Sugarbush/Warren/Waitsfield will have a lot more to do. I haven't been to Lincoln in years, but I'd assume Stowe is probably in the same touristy league which some people like, others don't. I obviously don't really mind it... I like having bars to go hang out at with friends after skiing, good restaurants with chefs from the big cities that moved up and started their own places, enough shops and stores to get what you need in daily life without having to drive a half hour, movie theaters, etc. Some people though would prefer to have the cabin in the woods for the second home if they are used to having bustle in their lives at their primary residence. I can totally see that. But for day to day living, I do enjoy having services right nearby. If I had a second place it would be a camp way out in the NEK of VT miles from anywhere, but for primary living I couldn't do the hermit thing all the time.

J.Spin Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Well, the wind on Mt. Mansfield has shifted to the northwest, the temperature is dropping, and the line indicating frozen precipitation is heading this way on the radar, so those are good signs for getting back into some snow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ono Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 A couple screenshots of the cool windmap(http://hint.fm/wind/) interesting vortex in southern/central New Hampshire forming. Thought it was worth a look. And the Southeasterly winds are really cranking through most of Maine. Good to see the winds coming around. I really like how this graphic shows it..

NEK_VT_Upslope_Event Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 KLW, what do you expect tonight/tomorrow in our neck of the woods? I'm on the fence between whether we could muster a 3-6" whitening up to reset the mood around here or if we end up with a lot of slimy walkways and yards after this batch of rain is all said and done.

klw Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I am hoping we get the pack surviving enough to freeze solid to be a sledding base for a fluffy couple of inches. Bigger hope is that I get hope tonight without sliding off the road for the 3rd time in 5 days. I managed to slide off into a guardrail on Friday night on the otherside of Ewell pond from your place. I hope that batch down by NYC to VA hits us as snow tonight but it is gonna be close. Rain to snow from the looks of it as it is hauling its way up here. Nice name change.

NEK_VT_Upslope_Event Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Sorry to hear about the sliding. that is a slippery spot for sure! I wonder if they don't salt there because of the water shed into the pond, you may actually have been a victim of that. Take care and fingers crossed on tonight, we need a white blanket to wake up to for the cold snap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Event totals: 3.0” Snow/1.25” L.E. As of 3:00 P.M. the frozen precipitation was back in the form of sleet, and as of 3:30 P.M. it just switched over to snow here at the house. It looks like there’s precipitation building off to the south, and based on the Intellicast Radar it’s of the snowy variety: At 3:00 P.M. when the frozen precipitation began, I squeegeed off the snowboards and emptied the rain gauge – it contained 0.34” of liquid, which was rain that fell since 6:00 A.M. this morning. That brings the liquid equivalent total for this event to an even 1.25”. Due to the rain, the snow in the yard has consolidated an inch from earlier this morning and is down to 3 inches. Details from the 3:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Liquid: 0.34 inches Temperature: 34.3 F Sky: Sleet Snow at the stake: 3.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As PF mentioned, BTV stuffed in a Winter Weather Advisory up here in the Northern Greens, on what is now a very colorful advisories map, so that’s a good sign that there’s some potential for accumulating snow: The updated map from this afternoon with projected accumulations is also added below, with the Jay Peak area showing the highest numbers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ono Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 radar showing 35+ DBz around the Monroe Skyline/Mad River Valley. Must be getting plastered that way if it's frozen (guessing it's changed there, too). point and click shows 6-12" at Smuggs through Thanksgiving. this thing looks better and better.
