polski Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Radarman and Ski Mrg Pete are headed up for first chair, hope the wind cooperates for you guys,should be fun. Yeah, there are definitely some robust gusts out there this mornin', not sure if gap winds or what. . ... MRG homepage not saying anything about that yet aside from that they "plan to" spin the usual weekday 3 of 5 lifts and reporting wind out of the W at 11 at the base. I've got skins though and will earn my turns if necessary. MRG says 20" so far. I can't find a yardstick in this house so am not going to try to measure myself ... I can say it's 0F on the window thermometer (0.9F at the base) and show the difference here in 24 hours: Yesterday, 8:40 a.m. Today, 7:30 a.m. (yes there is drifting involved) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Holy crap, whiteout in Ginxy special blowing snow. Rt 108 barely moving through the fields...massive snow transport going on. 4-5" of champagne pow overnight moving around easily at single digits.

snowgeek Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Man! 1" total in Slingerlands. I must be like 1/2 mile too far west...missed the MHC band. Bummer! MHC pretty much saved the storm here... KALB picked up 5" of snow in a 3 hour span (three of those inches in one hour). I should mention that its still snowing... not at heavy as earlier, but it looks like there is some reflectivity enhancement upstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The snow growth is awesome. I may eek out way more than I thought. The backlash/deformation band is looking pretty decent for the next couple hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 According to radar, this band is dying. ...ground truth, it is absolutely dumping. Very tough to measure because of the wind, but I'd say .5" in the last 20 minutes. Much of this snow is going to be forming below the radar beam, especially the farther you are from BOX (or BTV or GYX). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polski Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 MRG just updated home page to say 22" as far as they can tell. I just talked to their snow reporter and he said whether there will be wind holds is the question of the day ... windiest at mid-mountain right now.

Professional Lurker Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Much of this snow is going to be forming below the radar beam, especially the farther you are from BOX (or BTV or GYX). True indeed. I love my locale, but its kinda a radar hole. The beams are way too high at their lowest slice here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Wouldn't surprise me to see some spots pick up another inch or so out of this on top of whatever already has fallen. Maybe even a lucky lolli 2" where the heaviest band rolls through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Based on intenstity and duration, I probably picked up about an 1" from the band that went through. Impossible to measure given the wind. In fact, seeing the same bare spots after the band makes me wonder how much might have come down overnight. Now down to a steady llght snow, decent flakes. 8.1/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
