ctsnowstorm628 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Man this is some fluff...almost a half inch in like 10-15 minutes but I can still see the darkness of the driveway under it, lol. It's like translucent snow haha. It's snowing here. Hard. We are definitely over an inch. WxJim just texted me confirming 1.3" here. I forecasted 1.5-2.5" for VTrans today so it needs to stop sort of soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalWinds Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Was driving through this on the way home when you posted this and can definitely vouch for it. Was expecting about the same when I got home as it was pretty heavy all the way into Barre City. Petered out pretty quickly and by the time I got home it was over and it looks like we got the shaft. Maybe an inch? Son has already messed up my measuring area so no accurate measurement. I got caught in this driving back into Montpelier from Staples/Petco/Price Chopper on the Barre-Montpelier Rd. Took me almost 45 minutes to get home with the heavy squall and the normal insane rush hour traffic centered on the Granite St. bridge intersection. Nice squall while it lasted, though.

I bet his sheltered snow board is racking up the fluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxjim207 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Nice heavy bursts coming through Lyndonville right now. +SN for a little bit! Approaching 1.5" for the day at 1000feet. 1" at 700ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Caught the squall between Winooski and Essex Junction and it was heavy but nothing like the one I took stills of (which was near white out). None the less I got some solid video with this one and will post soon enough. So far a quick 0.4" here where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Event totals: 1.1” Snow/0.02” L.E. I arrived home to some fresh snow this evening, with light snow in the air, but the snowfall intensity really started picking up around 6:00 P.M. observations time – steady snow with some big flakes. There was 1.1” on the board at that point, with only 0.02” of liquid, so the snow was very fluffy. By 7:00 P.M. there was another 0.6” on the board. Details from the 6:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 1.1 inches New Liquid: 0.02 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 55.0 Snow Density: 1.8% H2O Temperature: 23.5 F Sky: Snow (3-12 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 3.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Looks like 0.9" is what the squall gave us in the end. I am sure a little more fell just to my east. It was nothing like 11.23 (of course this one didn't have an MCV with it), but it was still nice. This time it was a nice dry snow and very LES looking for those that have been through that. Here is the video I captured (man it kills me I didn't have this camera ready for the big one last month)/ Watch in HD to really make out the flakes best: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Yeah looked about right in the MRG area...maybe SB North? Lincoln is actually on the west side of the spine at sugarbush south aka Lincoln peak. Starksboro the same for mrg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klw Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 I got caught in a whiteout on I-91 about 7:30. Fortunately we were right near Wells River so we sat it out at P&H. It looked like they had 3-4 inches before we left. Less here- maybe 1.5 or so so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Nice squall moving south through C NH now along the arctic front. Just ended here. About 5 minutes of SN+ and gave us about 1/4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Just ended here. About 5 minutes of SN+ and gave us about 1/4" Not sure if it is just getting into better radar coverage or if it's exploding near Eek, but it's spitting out 30-35dBZ now.

powderfreak Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Big gradient here in Stowe with this one...pretty interesting actually. I wasn't looking at the Froude or anything, but something was going on. A half-inch in the Village and probably 4" at 1,500ft which is just a few minutes up the road. It was snowing moderately at its heaviest, maybe very briefly (like 5-10 min) 1/4sm when the pulse really came through, but we mostly had a couple hours of -SN/--SN with the moon visible. Meanwhile just up the road it was a couple hours straight of 1/4sm vis and 1"-2" hr type stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ono Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 The forecast discussion sounds like a series of modest events over the next 5-7 days with cold temps. Wonder what we'll be looking at in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo Scott take a look at the 0z GGEM...continues that northern deform band look around our neck of the woods. Interesting. 0z guidance overall is juicier than past runs... Most near 0.4" while SNE gets near 0.8". Temps still crazy cold, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I am 0.1" off the official BTV season total and they also saw 0.9" so as expected their conditions are usually representative of what is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nittany88 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Drove through some squalls in northern VT yesterday. Pretty decent squalls with low visibilities, but the snow was so dry it was blowing off the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty decent squalls with low visibilities, but the snow was so dry it was blowing off the road. Yeah it definitely was higher ratio snow. Looking ahead to this weekend I am thinking 1-3" for the CPV. Sat. night into Sunday. Obviously the higher amounts will be in the terrain south and east of here. We will be battling dry air at the onset, but whatever falls should be fluff (hopefully at least 20:1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
