j24vt Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Was that the event total for you?! I had an extra 2" and there's still an even 4.0" on the uncleared half of my snowboard, even with settling. That would be a decent difference between the two of us, considering the event last week we were identical at 6.5". There was a 5.8" report out of Moscow, last night...wonder if there was a sharp gradient in town? That was my total for the event. The mountain must have squeezed all the moisture out before it got to our house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Those are some impressive returns just west of the lake and now entering the Plattsburgh area in NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 As expected we are being downsloped to death here with not a flake so far. Whatever we get will likely be with the front itself (maybe a quick dusting).You haven't missed much...one brief period of maybe 1sm -SN at the mountain and a diamond dusting so far. A few flurries now.The event is going to be that band. Hoping for 1-3" as it moves through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Saw a few stray flakes about9 AM here in AUG and they'd had a dusting earlier - not a flake seen at home when I headed in. Now there's light ZR at 20F outside the office. I'm hoping that p-type is gone before I head home, as the heater isn't working in my pickup and freezing rain would be a real problem. (No heat also made for a dandy 20 minutes riding home from Farmington at -12 Friday evening.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Interesting that the radar has lit up here on the east slope with moderate returns but absolutely nothing is happening. The radar is usually pretty accurate here on the mountain. The ceiling has been lowering steadily though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 This time it hit good. A brief drop to 1/8 mile or so! I am a snow squall fan. I will post some pics/vid a bit later. Hard to say how much but it didn't last long so probably just a few tenths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was before it really got heavy... couldn't see past that first lift tower for about 10-15 minutes. probably 3"/hr rates but we'll see when its done. I've got some photos on my real camera with some of the lowest visibility I've seen here in a long time. Maybe 100-200ft visibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 The snow must have come in with some vigor, because wind knocked over my measurement blocks for the web cam. It looks like there’s about an inch of snow there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
