NNE Winter Part 3


mreaves

Recommended Posts

1.8" new on 0.17" LE, finished with a bit of fr dz.  Morning AFD from GYX extends the mix to my area but not so much as to hurt the accum much - map has S.Franklin just to the good side of the 10-14"/14-18" line.  They also caution that upcoming runs have a good chance of showing further warming. 

Keep trimming those totals. lol. I don't know why, but even in all snow events, it's so hard to get over 10" events in my area. 12+ would have been a nice season ender, but I'll bet we get <8".

The BTV NWS advisories map was updated this morning, showing expansion of the Winter Storm Warnings to the east and west of Vermont, with Winter Weather Advisories to the south:

Then there's this map on their storm total page, created at 7am...

That’s the one I typically monitor, and I noticed that it hadn’t changed from yesterday, so apparently they held pat with what they had.  That one has us in the 18-24” range along the spine, and jives generally with the high end of our point forecast, which sums to 13-23”.  Stepping to the hourly weather graph for our location provides an estimation of 18.5” snow/1.06 L.E.

2" last night.

 

Waiting for the big one.

 

People are so tired of winter now and here comes the back-breaker.

 

ski buddy and I were chuckling a bit this AM noticing the same thing.  It has been a long one for sure, down to my last 2 weeks of wood and lots of folks scrambling for wood pellets, long and cold, the kind of winter that makes  alot of folks move away from NNE:)

 

speaking of skiing, funny zipper crust over 3" new, not mashed tater snow but definitely spring time caking, looking forward to tomorrow PM, the woods have a beautiful canvas now, real free skiing

I'm starting to worry about taint. No more northward shifts please.

1.5" would be 15" at 10:1 but I imagine the ratios with the deform band and upper level support will be better than that.

Would you rather 1-3 hours of sleet or a fringe job? Even 3/7/11 tainted in the NEK for a time.

True. Even though I am on the verge of shifting into golf mode, if this were to be a huge bust and we end up with 4" or 5" of glop, I would be really bummed. I generally don't let myself get really pumped up or let down with events but losing this one would be a blow.

It was all taint IMBY - 2" IP and 1/2" ZR, while 40 miles NW was 18-20" snow.

 

Latest from GYX (copy/pasted crudely - my apologies):  Love the little 18-24 blotches, especially since my place is in one of them.  ;)
