eyewall Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Eyewall, seeing as you are new to the area and there is a new met on one of the local stations... is there a connection there? No it isn't me I work for a private company and not on television. What station has the new met? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 This could be interesting, there is some cold air trying to push down from just north of me (near Mallet's Bay). It could drop us below freezing rather quickly. Ethan Allen Park dropped from upper 30's to upper 20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Precipitation started up here right around 5:00 P.M., and consistent with what the NWS had in our forecast, it was light rain. As of 6:00 P.M. though, frozen precipitation is mixing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Cat paws mixing in at my elevation, 1240' or so, straight rain down in S. Barre at 800'. Mostly snow starting 50'-75' above me. Like I said earlier, I'd love to end up with 4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 It almost looks like its raining at the Sugarbush base area web cam (37F degrees there) and MPV at 1,200ft has been -RN with 0.05" liquid last hour. All across the Spine though its mid to upper 30s in the mid-slope elevation belt...with 40F at 1,100ft and 39F at 1,600ft around the Mansfield area. Bolton at 2,100ft is 34F. Meanwhile its 33F here at home though...colder in the valley. warm_temps_Dec29.jpg It was when you posted that but changed to snow shortly after 6 pm. Snowed moderately for a couple hours and then changed back to light rain. Have about 1-2" slush otg. As of now this is a bust. I was hoping to break out my new boards tomorrow. Not looking good.

ApacheTrout Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Missed out on this event, as it stayed mostly rain but for a brief period of slobbery wet flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Event totals: 0.1” Snow/0.25” L.E. There was nothing to report here yesterday evening beyond the mixed precipitation I saw at around 6:00 P.M., because it never changed fully over to snow and didn’t accumulate. Fortunately we didn’t get any additional ice, and it sounded like yesterday’s precipitation even brought down a bit more out of the trees. There was 0.25” of liquid in the gauge this morning, and a tenth of an inch of snow on the snowboard that looks like it came fairly recently in association with this morning’s flakes. Details from the 7:00 A.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 0.1 inches New Liquid: Trace Temperature: 27.7 F Sky: Flurries Snow at the stake: 6.5 inches The north to south listing of available snowfall totals from the Vermont ski areas is below; there was really nothing to report in the northern part of the state except off to the east at Burke, and heading south, it looks like accumulations begin around the Mad River Valley area and peak down around Okemo: Jay Peak: 0” Burke: 3” Smuggler’s Notch: 0” Stowe: T Bolton Valley: 0” Mad River Glen: 4” Sugarbush: 6” Pico: 7” Killington: 7” Okemo: 10” Bromley: 7” Magic Mountain: 7” Stratton: 6” Mount Snow: 7” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 7.8" of mashed potatoes. Will take some pics while plowing today--quite the scene out there. Sounds like you're the big winner in the VT category. I figured you would do ok as it was already all snow on 302 by the Butterfield parking lot when I came through around 3:30 yesterday. Ended up just under 2" at my house and it was starting to freeze fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Can somebody explain how sugarbush gets 6 while MRG gets zero. They are NEXT to each other. I fixed that on the list, MRG updated with 4" at the top which seems like a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 A bit shy of two inches of crusty paste this morning. It was 33.5 when I got up at 6:30, it is 22 now. http://www.nkaf.org/weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Roads are very icy in Winooski this morning. I am looking forward to the Thursday event with absolute fluff ratios! It was sounding like that storm was going to be more focused on the south listening to Tim Kelly yesterday on NECN, but the overnight run of the ECMWF was certainly intriguing for up in this area.

dendrite Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 5.5" new snow last night...about 1 foot OTG. That cement should be fun to snow blow. Should be a frigid week capped off by the cold late week event. Details TBD of course. I think the euro op is a bit of an extreme. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 It was sounding like that storm was going to be more focused on the south listening to Tim Kelly yesterday on NECN, but the overnight run of the ECMWF was certainly intriguing for up in this area. The long term discussion from BTV: .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 426 AM EST MONDAY...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE OVER THE REGION EARLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS HIGH WILL THEN RETREAT TO THE NORTH LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ECMWF AND GFS MODELS SHOWING SOME DEVELOPING OVERRUNNING LIGHT SNOW WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION AFTER MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AS WARM AIR ADVECTION ALOFT OVERRIDES THE COLD ARCTIC AIR AT THE SURFACE. ON THURSDAY...THE ECMWF AND GFS MODELS SHOW A LOW PRESSURE AREA WILL MOVE EAST FROM THE OHIO VALLEY. HOWEVER...MODELS DIFFER AS TO THE TIMING OF THIS LOW... WITH THE GFS MUCH FASTER THAN THE SLOWER ECMWF MODEL IN BRINGING THIS LOW EASTWARD. THE UPPER TROUGH WITH THE ECMWF MODEL IS FURTHER WEST THAN THE GFS AND AND DIGS FURTHER SOUTH AND IS SHARPER THAN THE MORE PROGRESSIVE GFS MODEL. PREFER THE SLOWER MOVEMENT OF THE ECMWF MODEL...AS THE GFS MODEL APPEARS TO BE TOO FAST. HOWEVER... BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF MODELS SHOWING THAT SNOW THAT DEVELOPS OVER THE AREA LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY. THUS...BOTH MODELS SHOWING THIS WILL BE A FAIRLY LONG DURATION EVENT. THIS WILL RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL ACROSS THE REGION BY FRIDAY. GIVEN THE COLD ARCTIC AIR THAT WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...EXPECTING A DRY FLUFFY SNOW AND NOT A WET SNOW WITH A HIGH WATER CONTENT. THUS...THIS COULD RESULT IN SNOW TO LIQUID WATER RATIOS OF 20-1 OR 25-1. WE WILL LIKELY HAVE A BETTER IDEA AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE EVENT. HAVE GONE WITH A DRY FORECAST FOR FRIDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...IF THE SLOWER ECMWF MODEL IS CORRECT...THEN SNOW COULD LINGER ACROSS THE REGION INTO EARLY FRIDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD INTO THE REGION ON SATURDAY WITH FAIR AND DRY WEATHER EXPECTED. In short the Euro has been much more aggressive with a bombed out system as compared to the weaker and more progressive storm modeled in the GFS. While Eurowx is a cheap way to see the Euro it lacks vorticity maps which would be nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up just under 2" at my house and it was starting to freeze fast. Yeah, pretty good spot here for this past one. I saw some higher reports from nearby and a little south--Tunbridge, Royalton, Barnard--but we did alright. Cold front coming through--down to 27 from 31 early this morn.

tamarack Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 11.0" of 18:1 fluff at my place, lovely dendrites and aggregates sailing by, about 8" in 4 hr between 7 and 11 last eve. The 5" by 9 PM was 15:1 and the 6" after that was 21:1, total storm LE of 0.61". That number was right in the forecast range, but the ratio meant a good bust, as the S.Franklin forecast had been 4-8". Snowpack up to 22" at 6 AM but will be closer to 20 by this evening as the fluff settles. Only the 3rd time in 16 yr to reach 20" in Dec. (2003 - briefly - and 2007 were the others.)
