NNE Winter Part 3

[ApacheTrout]

nice event, but it fell at the low end for the Champlain Valley.  I don't know if it was dry slot or shadowing, or something else entirely.  Great to see such high totals in the mountains, though!

Looks like PF missed some of the good stuff. Morrisville reporting 14" and a colleague who lives in Elmore said 15" at her house. Her husband, who is a Stowe police officer says there is more than 6" in parts of Stowe. Looking at the reports it almost looks like the Waterbury-Stowe-Hyde Park/Johnson corridor got shadowed. Another colleague who lives in Moretown said about a foot at her house. I had 13" at my house sw of Barre City at about 1250'.

Well remember my report from town was at 5am. I have no idea what there is now but could be 8-9" or so. I never know if it's shadowing or if it's just bad luck with the meso-bands.

I see the Johnson coop to the north of me and Morrisville came in with 5.0" this morning. Morrisville must've gotten into a band if they are at 12-15" in between the two spots.

Anyway, upslope is going at the mountain and the flake size has gotten much much bigger.

9.8" total with .4 of it sleet at one point. Nice storm. Like dendrite, snowpack is up to 25-30+ except for some torched areas of campus.

But it looks like deep deep winter.

[powderfreak]

The 24 hour morning QPF shows the difference...

MPV...0.87" (with a whopping 0.69" falling at the ASOS between 3am-7am).

MVL...0.47"

BTV...0.26"

MPV got hit with what ALB got hit with, which was around 0.5" melted in two hours. MPV's 0.26" hour and 0.24" hour probably put down 6" of snow in 2 hours.

I suspect you’ll find a good addition to your snow when you get home – we were only at 6” as of 6:00 A.M., but looks like we’re up to ~11” at our place based on what I see on the web cam.

Yeah, I understand that as I said my colleague's husband was reporting more from driving around town.

Current VT totals... some wide variations though even at the same time.  In Chittenden County, two NWS employees in the Milton area between 10-11am varied from 5.3" to 12.0".  Over here, Jeffersonville FAA employee reported 12", while the Jeffersonville COOP came in with 5.0", both within like an hour or two of each other.  Even in Waterbury, J.Spin had the 6am report of 6.0" snowfall, while someone in NNE Waterbury had 11.9". 

 

Must've been whether or not you got into the banding last night...but there are three different reports on there in three different towns this morning with variations between 5-12", and the obs were made within an hour or so of each other, lol.

[eyewall]

Well rather than moan about coming up a little short I decided to hit Bolton and aside from wind it is fantastic! Also it was still a decent snow. I will post vid later of blizzard cinditions at tge summit

[ctsnowstorm628]

Some Lyndonville Obs:

 

Snow start: 11:54am 2/13

 

First observation (6pm): 1.0"

Second observation (12am): 1.5"

Third observation (7am- I overslept): 7.9"

Fourth observation (1pm): 1.2"

 

Total accumulation of 11.6" with a settled depth of 10.4". Total snow depth 21" with drifts to 30". Deep winter.

[CardinalWinds]

I haven't been outside yet, as I was asleep from 5am-noon.  Still ripping on NW flow.  There's at least a foot out there, though.  I'll measure once I go outside to clear the driveway...which won't be until it slacks off...I don't want to have to clear it twice!

[ono]

Hope folks are enjoying the snow.  Went up into Nebraska Notch- which gets blasted by wind so depths varied a lot- probably around 8-12" up top with lots of drifts knee-to-thigh deep drifts. The slightly upside-down nature to the 'pack made breaking trail a bit difficult. The flake size increased from earlier in the morning in Waterbury as we arrived probably around as the NW flow kicked up.  The synoptic snow that fell has a lot of resistance to it- which is good because my pole could strike bare ground 20-30" down.  However, I wasn't paying attention, made a wrong turn and ended up in a spot I didn't want to- which was south facing and not the higher NW facing ridge I was aiming for.  Working around to the more W-NW aspect, the snow was consistently and reassuringly deeper.  

 

Getting back to the car showed 1.5-2" in 3 hours- and it was coming down hard @2:30pm.  Winds had also picked up, and treated us to a brief ground blizzard around Lake Mansfield.

 

You can still hit some stuff if you're aggressive or not watching for the telltales of lurking rocks/deadfall, but it seems like the BC is skiable if you take a conservative approach.  It wasn't as much snow as expected depth-wise, but the QPF that fell is respectable.  Hopefully the wrap-around upslope will come through as the Winter Weather Advisory posted an hour ago calls for some additional accumulations. A little bit of settling of the synoptic stuff and some fluff on top should make for a nice day tomorrow at the resorts and in the BC.

 

Snow is reduced this side of Waterbury over by the Worcester Range, as expected- but still a Steady light snow- so 24 hours or so of snow isn't all that bad.

[ono]

Driving from Waterbury to Morrisville, and on 15 over through Johnson, Jeffersonville and on to Underhill you would watch the accumulations undulated from 5-6" to 12-14" several times.  Go figure.

What a storm shaping up for extreme east sections of NE this weekend.  Maybe it will continue to trend west to get most of us in C/NNE on some snow.  I know on the west side of these monsters a deformation band will set up.  Met's how far west will that be?  Maine or into NH?

 

Thoughts??

PS  Nice near continuous squalls and flurries this PM.  Didn't expect as much activity here.

You can still hit some stuff if you're aggressive or not watching for the telltales of lurking rocks/deadfall, but it seems like the BC is skiable if you take a conservative approach.  It wasn't as much snow as expected depth-wise, but the QPF that fell is respectable.  Hopefully the wrap-around upslope will come through as the Winter Weather Advisory posted an hour ago calls for some additional accumulations. A little bit of settling of the synoptic stuff and some fluff on top should make for a nice day tomorrow at the resorts and in the BC.

 

Snow is reduced this side of Waterbury over by the Worcester Range, as expected- but still a Steady light snow- so 24 hours or so of snow isn't all that bad.

 

I just left Mansfield at 3:15pm and checked the base snow stake on my way out at 1,500ft and found a wind-blown 11" at the stake.  So where there was only like 4.5" at 5am, we picked up an additional 6.5" today, and that's still climbing with the upslope that is on-going.  The 3,000ft stake was 12.5" so not much different between the two.

 

All in all, no complaints about 11" of snow (no board clearing, just 11" settled depth over 24 hours) at the base of the mountain.  Snowpack is getting up there now at 26-30" at the base in the woods.

 

 

This was 3pm, my car and this lot was cleared and plowed out at 5:30am, so this is today's accumulation.  Still snowing pretty hard up there.

Still coming down here at Sunday river

Still snowing here too, just got home and haven't measured additional accumulation yet. 02/14/07, 02/14/14, can I book another one of these for 02/14/21 too? JK, I know this one doesn't compare to 2007.

Man still ripping at the mountain, visibility looks quite low.

 

Winter Weather Advisory for Upslope Snow until 10pm, so hopefully we can grab a few more inches up there.

It was ripping on my way home from Bolton all the way until exit 12 in Williston .

Was just looking through the ski area snowfall amounts and appears we are definitely the low man out, but that's how it works sometimes.  In talking with some folks this afternoon, due to drifting and just generally good powder skiing, the numbers people were throwing out as "guesses" of the snowfall were similar to what some other ski areas had, haha.  Skiers and riders must be an optimistic bunch, or are just awful at estimating snowfall visually.  11" of snow measured was consistently estimated to be easily over a foot, haha.

 

Looks like the winner is Sugarbush with 13" at the base and 22" at the summit.  That's a huge difference between top and bottom in a synoptic event, but the 22" amount looks like the jackpot.

GFS comes west again.  3-6" snows into VT.  4-8" Central NH.  6-12" into West Maine

[j24vt]

Added 3.4" today for a storm total of 8.7"

It was a bit dicey on top of Bolton today but the powder was worth it! I took this before they shut down the Vista Quad:

[CardinalWinds]

Man, it's days like today that I know I'm 51 and not 21 or even 31 anymore.  This snow had a lot more water content than last week.

 

In any case, a lot of wind, but 5 separate measurements put me at an average of 13.15" as of 4:30pm.  I'm all set for awhile so not a twinge of jealousy about tomorrow's eastern Mass./coastal Maine system.  Looks like a 1-3 or 2-4 inches deal here...that'll do for now...lol.

random thoughts, love snowblowing upslope fluff, can charge the drifts as opposed to earlier today and the more dense 10"

 

sitting on 12" for this, winds are doing their job moving things around, 22" now to play in the yard, the dog has converted to plyometrics to run

 

have good weekend all

Yeah, my Lab has to play dolphin to run through the yard now.  She's a shoe carrier, and I'm bound to lose one now until April, haha.

Addison County taking the brunt of the upslope right now.

 

[powderfreak]

A nice day on Mansfield.

 

[Hitman]

I've only made as far as Manchester, but the wifey is reporting upwards of 2 feet in warren. Can't wait to get up and check.

Nice discussion by BTV about the change in orographic blocking.  We were getting hit this afternoon on the east side, and now its switched to the western slopes.
