dryslot Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Just cleared my board of 7" making 13.5" in measured snow. Just over 11" on the half of my board that I haven't cleared. Pretty dense stuff. Still snowing. Congrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professional Lurker Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Just got home from work, car thermometer read 34 in north hatfield, dropped steady to 26 here at home in bernardston. Driveway is a sheet of ice, and the snow that remains is starting to lock up. Doubt we see anything on the backside of any significance....

dryslot Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 31F...freezing up. -FZDZ now with an occasional pinger. What a strange storm,Your at 31F and i am at 24F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 29F and dropping with a few flakes. Falling temps but NW wind bringing drier air and lack of precip the past hour is making flash freeze a non-event here. Hopefully pick up 1"+ of snow from the back end to whiten the stale glacier here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 CongratsThanks. Definitely will extend the riding season a coue of weeks. Of course golf season is nowhere in sight. Never suspected you and Dendrite would be the recipients of the screw job award. Is riding done from your place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water droplets are frozen on the cars. What a strange storm,Your at 31F and i am at 24F I'm still shocked that you, Dendrite, WeatherMA, etc didn't do better. I'm sure some can argue but when all is said and done I consider this a bust on modeled snow fall totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polski Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I think he said he was up in the App Gap just above MRG. Right, within walking distance of App Gap, about 600' vert up from the MRG base. Snowfall was light in the morning, moderate or on the moderate end of light all afternoon, probably totaling 6" or a little more by dark. Much of the day at MRG I could hear the fine-grained snow bouncing off my helmet, but I'm not sure I'd call it sleet, and it certainly did not harm the skiing surface - creamy, not manky at all. Now it's just blower, and it's really stacking up. I'd post photos but I have to get to bed as I have a big day of skiing ahead ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Quite pleased here... 10.3" with one board clearing...9.8" without board clearing. Still coming down hard. Stopped for gas on the Mountain Road... it was coming down hard and blowing too. Snow growth optimal in these bands. Some cell phone stormin' pics...Alpine Mart & Valero never looked so good.

There definitely winners and losers , That's why we lobbied for the SE tics on the models yesterday, We were on the fence, And when they kept going NW, We were cooked , Never bet saga isn't the euro Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Event totals: 11.2” Snow/1.20” L.E. You couldn’t have had the snowfall accumulation more in synch with the clock if you tried this evening – there was 5” at 5:00 P.M. this evening, and the accumulation just ticked off from there at 1”/hr. Anyway, I measured exactly 6.0” on the snowboards from the past 6 hours, and the density has hung around 10% H2O. Details from the 11:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 6.0 inches New Liquid: 0.61 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 9.8 Snow Density: 10.2% H2O Temperature: 18.1 F Sky: Snow (1-10 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 21.0 inches I’ve only created the one 12” dowel for the web cam setup at this point, so in case the storm depth exceeds that point, I’ve added a ruler as a temporary extension up to 17”.

I'm jealous of your location...being 2,000ft+ literally on the Green Mountain spine at Appalachian Gap...what a storm-lovers dream spot. How'd you get that spot?!

eyewall Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 We are seeing the advertised near blizzard conditions at times. I tried to get pics but that is difficult at night. I will see if one or two came out tomorrow. I can't get an accurate measurement to save my life so I will rely on NWS BTV since they are usually very representative of my location. Definitely the most impressive synoptic storm this season and I got my double digits so no complaints here. I happily eat crow for everything I said .

Thanks for putting up the live web cam. I'd love to do that. Would make it really easy to monitor whats going on at home from a remote location, too. Could always check in on a mobile device when away for the day or night. This has been my favorite storm of the season...even with the low ratios it was snowing very hard. The models have done pretty well... I'd have to imagine I'm around 1.0-1.1" melted, as the first phase this morning ended up 10:1, and your ratios seem to have stayed similar. Most averages for the models were 1.25-1.5", so we'll end up close or in that range. Wind has been nice...we don't usually get a lot of wind down here in the valley and its been blowing around.

powderfreak Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 So could someone who knows ASOS answer this...why all the sudden are the automatic observations going to something over than snow? It's still snowing pretty hard. BTV is 0.5sm fog at 13/9, and MVL is 0.5sm haze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
