wxeyeNH Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 1:40pm Moderate snow 26F. Probably 1/2" past 30 minutes but just estimating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbutts Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Yeah they went right over my head. There's a lag with the precip reaching you versus what radar shows. I had radar pounding me for a couple of frames before the heavy stuff moved in. The Canterbury RWIS is a good gauge for me since it's practically on the Northfield line on I93. Once they went down to 1/2SM I knew the heavy stuff would reach me in about 5-10 mins and sure enough it did. It ended up a little under an inch, but at least it came in 20 mins rather than 20 hours. looks like that band did some damage.. Interstate 93 southbound in Canterbury has been shut down after whiteout conditions caused a multi-car crash Saturday morning, police said. http://www.wmur.com/news/26411319/detail.html measured 1/4" here.. snowed moderately for about an 30 mins with a very quick burst of heavish snow in the middle of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 1:50pm light snow. First band through dropped just under an inch. Looks like one more lighter band to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I was in it at exits 16 n 17. Low low vis and dry powder swirlin. Sleet or graupel in conc now...little white balls coming down decently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Be a man ... hit the weights. lol Pretty pornographic run on the Euro for up here, Another low ready to pop at the end of the run, We would be catching up quickly if this all verified over the next 10 days........

Well, that'd be great if it did (obviously). I have a foot and two toes in the door for next week and I'll dive in weenie-first for the next one afterwards if it's still there. Nice to hear about the exciting weather over in NH but bummer about the pile-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Had a band of snow pop up and move through for about the last 2 hours. It came down light to moderate at times. It put down about a quarter inch. Still snowing very lightly. Now I will check out that Euro porn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Closing in on 4" for the event. Everytime I think it's wound down for good, another round kicks in. Light snow, 23F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 no real radar returns but some light fluffy snow falling. probably picked up an inch today and the cleanup has been accomplished. Might b a bit of elevation effect..little tiny flakes in CON with breaks in the sky to a stead albeit light fluffy snow up here about 350 ft higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skierinvermont Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 What trail did you use to ascend? Stowe side or Underhill side? Its very common to have calm winds for 80% of the mountain and then it'll be absolutely ripping up in the snowfields. I love riding up the gondola in the calm and looking up at the plumes of snow getting blown over the summit ridge. Stowe side.. we were going up the long trail from the closes portion of rt 108 but we missed a right turn right before coming out on one of Stowe's trails. So we hiked up the trails for a short distance to the top of the gondola where the winds were almost calm still. Then we bush wacked up to the ridge since we knew there was a trail that ran along it. Once we got to the ridge the wind nearly knocked us over and we hiked the 1/3 mile to the summit on the trail. Ski patrol probably didn't appreciate us hiking on the trails but at first we thought it actually was the right trail. Up to 4 or 5" here in Waitsfield.. seems to have winded down.

Congrats on the snow in the Green Mtn State! I figure there'd be some upslope effects with the winds turning NW as the coastal tracked to the East. BTW the past tense of "wind" is not "winded."

tamarack Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Nary a flake - now finishing day 11 with no measurable snow. Last winter I had 19 straight, and 25 with just 0.1"; that's something I don't wish to repeat. Mabe I'm at fault here - bought a snowblower this week after two years pushing the scoop.

Anyway, I think Dendrite may have some insight into that sort of thing. Or I could possibly be very wrong about that. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 25.8F with very light snow. It's been snowing lightly pretty much all afternoon/evening under the radar beam. Looks like the higher terrain north of Lake Winni are wringing out some moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 what is that band coming off of the water in sme and cnh? inverted trough? Just some low level convergence zone probably.

mahk_webstah Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 yea but have you noticed that the echoes have increased a bit and that it is becoming e-w oriented? I'm hoping we will get some accum snow from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The high res NMM does drop 1-2" in that vicinity though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will always defer to you on these things...that model would support 3 inches with some good ratios and that gets pretty close to us. it is just interesting to see how it showed up all of the sudden. looking out my window hnow i ally seejust a few flakes but the band is really not over me yet but appears headed towards me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
