wxeyeNH Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 1pm 32.3F moderate to heavy snow. Vis about 3/8 2" so far. 1" past hour. Snow extremely wet. Temp an hour ago 32.5F has been 32.3/4F past 30 minutes. Good snow growth. Weather station and camera http://www.metrocast.net/~wxeye/ expect power problems if we go another hour or two without changeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 That area near Killington might be the best. Yeah they always seem to find a way there...Even when models try to show mid-level warmth tickling them, they'll often hang onto ripping snow.

powderfreak Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 JSpin's hand will fall off writing about this storm. I've seen the novels just from 0.2". A man of science. The amount of work he puts into his historical record is much appreciated by many of us up here. Its so easy on his website to pull up a past event from the last 6 years or so and get all the information you could want regarding the system in this local area, along with local ski totals and conditions. I visit his page a lot in the off-season to relive past events, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Agreed. Up here it'll be ratio dependent. I've got around 2" right now but its surprisingly wet. I'll do a core in a little bit. Like snowman building snow. This is the type of snow that would probably *only* give us around 8-10" but would be a much higher impact than like 16" of fluff. Just pasting to every little twig and branch at this point. I'm sure it will go higher ratio once temps crash in the CCB bands. Wish I was up there (probably the hundredth SNE or NYC person you've heard this from today)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the 12z RGEM... best spot right now looks to be setting up between the H85 0C and -10C isotherms. Right through central VT up into NNH and the mtns of ME. Immediately north of the H85 low track for best precip in the cold sector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 He backstabs us all not surprised. Man what an awesome storm for VT.I am sure PF and ADK are over their GFL panic posts this morning by now. huh? The post that mentioned GFL was raining? Let me be clear, I never, ever thought we were in danger of raining, If anything I took that as a good sign locally that this thing was juicing up. Oh ginxy.

CT Rain Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Sleet/rain/zr has raced northward through Bennington/Windham Counties in southern VT per dual pol. Should reach a brickwall in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 DGZ up in these parts gets awfully deep tomorrow. That CCB/deformation area as the H5 trough axis goes through could produce a bit nmore than model qpf might indicate...esp in the terrain-enhanced areas. That looks pretty nice. Even down here I wouldn't be surprised to see a steady period of light to perhaps marginal moderate snow for a couple hours tomorrow morning if all goes well.

phil882 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 All rain here, but temperature has dropped a few degrees in the last hour. Flash freeze looks pretty likely tonight as we change back over. Temp: 33 degrees Conditions: Light Rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp: 33 degrees Conditions: Light Rain Yikes... yeah that will get pretty nasty in the CD. I'm still not sure whether the flash freeze materializes down this way. Might be a bit of a lag between sub-0c chill and the end of the rain... with gusty NW winds that should help evaporation a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ono Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 over 2" here now with steady moderate snow. Smuggs reported 5" an hour ago- on par with Killington at the moment. NECN put up ~27" for Sugarbush to Smuggs. Wouldn't be surprised at the rate things are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NECN put up ~27" for Sugarbush to Smuggs. Wouldn't be surprised at the rate things are going. I just texted a friend over at Smuggs who said 2-3" tops at 1pm. Pretty similar to what we have here, too. To be honest, I just can't see how Smuggs has the same amount as Killington at the same 12:30pm time frame. Killington has been in a firehose and 5" sounds right. 5" north of here right now seems suspect but I don't like to doubt snow reports. I know how it can vary. But this photo from Smuggs looks exactly like Mansfield right now and there's 2-3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Temp has dropped to 27° after being at 30° for a couple of hours. Looks like about 2" so far here in downtown Montpelier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Moderate snow here in AUG for the past 30 minutes, but ti's just now showing up on car roofs and the edge of the paved walkways.

CT Rain Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 an inch -2 of snow on ice tonight in ct is gonna be very bad I don't see any support for 1-2" - ice could make things rough but I'm not sold. If we go a couple hours after rain stops prior to chill I think a lot of the roads dry out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 BTV is holding serve on their forecasts. The wind is definitely playing a role here so any measurement I have won't be of the upmost confidence. As of now I would eyeball around 2" as well.

ORH_wxman Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Looks like the sfc low is right along I-80 in PA. Looks like N VT is now plummeting in temps as the arctic air begins to drain in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
