Hitman Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 btw-love the banter in the storm thread. they'd be making wisecracks about PF and his picnic table at 3000' but it looks like that will be completely submerged in snow. hahahahahahahahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 It is pre-storm jitters now. My concerns remain the degree of shadowing, initial temps, and potential taint. On the upside CPV channeling should be in place Wed night. I will hold with 10-15" for BTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 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. Keeps bumping totals all over the place. Went frmo 10-14, to 6-8, now back to 10-14, but not far from 14-18". crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalWinds Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Not that it's going to be any issue for this upcoming storm, but man is that sun angle getting brutal. Had 2" last night and my driveway, with southern exposure, was wiped clean by 2pm this afternoon. If this is it for the season, at least we're going out with a standing ovation event!

wxjim207 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 This is going to be an epic snowstorm for places in Central & NE Vermont, Northern NH and NW Maine. Best snow this season. Best thoughts are right along with CTsnowstorm in being 15-20" for most of the NEK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thoughts are right along with CTsnowstorm in being 15-20" for most of the NEK. Personally I think the Champlain Valley may be getting under-played...the wrap around flow looks textbook for CPV convergence and high ratio snows with that low level convergence under larger deformation. If anything close to the 18z NAM happens the CPV could be surprisingly high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Well it's pretty much hurry up and wait time. At this point it's just going to come down to mesoscale nuances to determine final totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'm thinking if I leave ny by 1, I get up to vt by 4 encountering only rain, no frozen. Then the rest of the drive will likely be through snow, and slow but doable. Am I nuts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Latest from BTV Thanks for the update mreaves, one has to look at it closely, but indeed there is a good expansion of the areas with the 18-24” shading. There’s also been some expansion of the Winter Storm Warnings southward since the previous advisories map: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgottmann Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 e Yes you are nuts. But dedicated. I would not want to be entering VT at 4pm tomorrow with another 2 hours to go. Although I don't know your route. That is the price of glory. I plan on leaving Saratoga Springs for Sugarbush sometime after 530 pm. I will drive back roads through Washington County into Vt. No one on the roads is the key. Good luck and enjoy the Powder. My only concern is the wind. How does SB fare with north winds? Big buzz kill when you complete a white knuckle ride only to get shut out by wind holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big buzz kill when you complete a white knuckle ride only to get shut out by wind holds. Hopefully I'll see you there (and we r both in 1 piece). Not sure about which direction winds effect the lifts more, but there will definitely be wind hold issues on Thursday. Im most concerned about going down the east side of the gap on route 4. For a major interstate highway going through a mountain pass by a ski mtn, they don't seem to do much to keep that passable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can get hairy, my brother rolled a Toyota truck during a storm a few years back. It was just past the State Forest when you turn onto 100.

It was just past the State Forest when you turn onto 100. It's a us highway, no? It's kind of inexplicable why they don't keep that clear. That's a tricky spot right there because it's going downhill on a curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a tricky spot right there because it's going downhill on a curve. Yeah, he had to walk to an inn down the road, I can't remember it's name, the Grey Bonnet? Yes, Rt.4 is a US highway. I've asked friends who work road crews why they don't seem to be kept as good as they used to be and they have been unanimous with the reason - huge increases in traffic. With more cars out during storms, the snow gets churned up and packed into ice quicker and it is harder to keep up with them. I'm not saying that this true for Rt. 4 because that has always been a tough spot but I'm sure it is a contributing factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
