hvysnow79 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Nice! Ding ding ding we have a NNE winner. I will take it, one of the rare few times here on the valley floor actually does well . Although I wouldn't be surprised if Allenson has me beat, not far as the crow flies, but that 800' gain does wonders for him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I asked awhile back if we could get shadowed by surrounding hills and was told no. Any chance that moisture gets robbed coming across the open water of sebago lake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 very light snow 19.4F 6.5" total after 13 hours of snowfall. Never any heavy snow, a few brief bursts of moderate but mostly 1-2 mile vis with poor snow growth except the past couple hours with large flake size. Very meh in my area.

powderfreak Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Added 6.1 during the day for a storm total of 7.8 Biggest event of the season, haha. Still coming down out there but probably only 1/4" to 1/2" per hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 7.5 inches so far here in Peacham. Easy shoveling snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Event totals: 6.8” Snow/0.51” L.E. The snow definitely dried out after this morning’s super dense accumulation – down to 6.3% H2O, which is half of what it was. Details from the 5:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 5.7 inches New Liquid: 0.36 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 15.8 Snow Density: 6.3% H2O Temperature: 20.1 F Sky: Snow (2-5 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 12.0 inches I stopped in at Bolton Valley for a few runs today, and conditions were certainly nice with the new snow. I’d say there was 6-7” new up top when I was there, which seems to jive with their report. For Vermont ski areas that provided P.M. storm total updates, they’re listed below north to south. With the forecast, I would have thought there would be a notable disparity between the totals at the northern and southern resorts, but that doesn’t seem to be the case yet. We’ll have to see how it settles out when the totals come in tomorrow morning. Jay Peak: 9” Smuggler’s Notch: 8” Stowe: 8” Bolton Valley: 6” Mad River Glen: 6” Sugarbush: 4” Pico: 8” Killington: 8” Okemo: 5.5” Bromley: 6” Magic Mountain: 7” Stratton: 9” Mount Snow: 11” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Event totals: 6.8” Snow/0.51” L.E. Jay Peak: 9” Smuggler’s Notch: 8” Stowe: 8” Bolton Valley: 6” Mad River Glen: 6” Sugarbush: 4” Pico: 8” Killington: 8” Okemo: 5.5” Bromley: 6” Magic Mountain: 7” Stratton: 9” Mount Snow: 11” You know I was going to joke about this yesterday that I would bet money Jay Peak comes in with the highest snowfall total despite the obvious models favoring the southern areas. But watch, I bet storm total snowfall may be highest at Jay Peak tomorrow morning. They do well in all patterns up there. All joking aside, the northern Greens did about twice as good as I was expecting, especially considering at its southern most forecast on the models a couple days ago, the northern Greens were even progged to get as little as <.25" of melted QPF. The area that I busted big time on was the central Greens...like Okemo, Sugarbush/MRG area, etc. I figured they were all a lock for like 10-14".

powderfreak Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Here are the current snow totals.... Looks like Orange County took it home.

powderfreak Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Map might be easier to show the storm totals on a map. What I notice is how even all the totals are on here...I really thought there would be a distinct north-south gradient with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsnowstorm628 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 8.3" total in lyndonville. Banding set up father north than expected and subsidence robbed folks like allenson and klw a little further south.

ctsnowstorm628 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hahaha no worries. Enjoy the snow and pray QPF verifies. Snow growth/ratios look solid with DGZ within the area of best lift, especially mid morning through afternoon with the deform banding. In a perfect model world, I could envision 0.60" QPF with 15:1 ratios, or 9". God knows that won't happen. Well I guess this did work out lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalWinds Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 7.5 inches so far here in Peacham. Easy shoveling snow. 7.5" here as well. Still snowing so maybe we get to 8". Happy and satisfied, at least for a day or two. 7.5 inches here as well for the trifecta. I decided to go out and clear the driveway despite the darkness. It worked well. I just taped a very bright wide-beam LED flashlight to the front of the blower and I was all good to go! I was a "nighttime virgin" until today...never brought the blower out after dark before...lol!

The area that I busted big time on was the central Greens...like Okemo, Sugarbush/MRG area, etc. I figured they were all a lock for like 10-14". I was surprised by the totals up north and in the southern greens (low side) as well. That afternoon band really did Sugarbush seems to be in a fun lately -- missing out on the fluff bombs at Stowe and Jay Peak to the north and on the coastals to the south. However, I think the Sugarbush report is as of 3:00, so the total might be more in line with others. Nice to be heading in the right direction finally. Still a few flakes in the air here near Saratoga Springs. 10+ out of this one, with most coming this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ono Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 around 1.5" since 6pm here. Still snowing lightly, slowing down. edit: just went out and took a settled measurement- a hair over 8" with some likely compaction throughout the event. Have picked up an additional 1/4" in the past half hour or so ultralight fluff of the see-thru variety. still snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Snow was ending and I was at a friends house near the Matterhorn Bar, so took a ride up to the base snowstake since the snow is about done...found another 3.5" since 2pm, so total at 1,500ft is 8.5" as of 9pm. Just flurries now though so that'll probably be the base total. At home at 750ft, I found 4.4" after 9-10am when I had 3.0"...so my total looks to be 7.7" at home. Largest single day snowfall of the season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Event totals: 8.2” Snow/0.56” L.E. Another 1.4” of snow fell this evening, often with stars and the moon visible. There was still a little light snow falling when I made my observations, but the sky was mostly stars, so I’m not sure how much more accumulation there will be. Details from the 11:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 1.4 inches New Liquid: 0.05 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 28.0 Snow Density: 3.6% H2O Temperature: 10.4 F Sky: Light Snow (1-3 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 13.5 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Event totals: 8.3” Snow/0.56” L.E. A final tenth of an inch fell overnight, which is presumably the end of this latest event. Details from the 6:00 A.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 0.1 inches New Liquid: Trace Temperature: 2.3 F Sky: Partly Cloudy Snow at the stake: 13.0 inches Not surprisingly, this has been the largest storm in terms of snowfall for the calendar year, more than doubling the next closest event. The final tenth overnight actually pushed this storm to second place for storms this season, just passing a storm at the end of November that delivered 8.2”. Seasonally, this storm certainly helped, bringing the snowfall deficit down to 26”, the S.D. from the mean down below -1.00 to -0.87, and the snowfall up to 72.9% of average. Snowfall for the season also just pushed past 70”, which is not normally much of a benchmark, but it’s felt like it with the way that the area has seemed to need a lot of scratching and clawing for accumulations.
