NorEaster27 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I called it 9-12" this morning to be on the safe side (that's likely conservative), but ski patrol is just getting on the hill and will check the snow stakes for me as I'm dealing with wind hold issues. Wind has blown it all over the place so in all honesty its like 0-36". We are like a mile away from Smugglers Notch and they are reporting 18-20"... they might have gotten that over there on the other side of the Notch, but there's no way there's 20" over here. Now that its light out and I can see and walk around to more sheltered spots, I have a feeling our actual amounts are in the 12-14" range. And that would fit with around a foot falling down in the village. However, I really hate over-estimating snowfall (I'm not sure why but that's a pet peeve of mine) and I've noticed around here folks seem to think we got more snow than we actually did. We played a game of guess the amount of snow that fell yesterday afternoon, and then measured the area, and everyone (5 people with me) over-estimated what the ruler actually said. Sure, the woods are likely buried with 20" of new snow but on the trails its probably like 6" from wind transport. I really like Bolton Valley's reports and they are usually very accurate... they are reporting 11-14" of new snow in the past 24 hours and fits with what I think we have here. I'm still perplexed at the 20" at Smuggs and 19" at Jay as I would've though Okemo/Killington and points south would've gotten more than them, but then again, when its upslope fluffy snow, they very well could've gotten another 6-9" over us at Stowe and Bolton. All in all this was a lot more snow up here in the north country than any model or forecasts had... really didn't expect a foot of snow in the village. 17 inches at whiteface which was no where near the forecast of 2-4. Reports from the hill and from a friend in Lake Placid verify its a true 17 inches. Must have been some kind of upslope on an east wind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports from the hill and from a friend in Lake Placid verify its a true 17 inches. Must have been some kind of upslope on an east wind? Magic. Stuff happens in the high peaks i'm not sure any weather watcher can explain. I've seen them get 1 inch when feet were forecasted. I've seen them get 17 inches when 2-4 were forecasted. It's a nuts place for wacko weather. Sometimes you just gotta admit the weather do what it wanna do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably close enough to 32 there to leave mongo snow on the trees in sheltered areas. Maybe he or Tralce will post some pics. It's a beautiful area at any time, and with big snow...

J.Spin Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I added this post in the observations thread, but since that seems to be mostly done and we are transitioning, I also added it here: Event totals: 12.6” Snow/0.97” L.E. Friday 1/14/2011 6:00 A.M. update: The precipitation was just an occasional flurry yesterday evening when we were out shoveling, and there were some breaks in the clouds, but there was a resurgence in the snowfall overnight. I found 0.4 inches of fluff on the board this morning, and steady light snow was falling at observation time. I’m going to continue to throw accumulations with this snow into the Nor’easter, because there’s just not a well-defined new system to which I can add it. Checking the BTV NWS discussion, they say that there is a mid level vortex passing through that is prompting this activity, but also that the moisture is somewhat residual. I went back to the midnight version of the discussion and pasted a bit below: AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT 1242 AM EST FRI JAN 14 2011 .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 AM THIS MORNING/... AS OF 748 PM EST THURSDAY...SKIES WILL REMAIN MAINLY CLOUDY OVERNIGHT WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW FLURRIES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS. SAT IMAGERY SHOWS LOW CLOUDS HOLDING FIRM ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY. THE 00Z ALB SOUNDING SHOWS A VERY STRONG INVERSION NEAR 850MB...AND IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE TRAPPED MOISTURE/CLOUDINESS NEAR AND BELOW THIS INVERSION OVERNIGHT. THERE IS ALSO A MID-LEVEL VORT PASSING FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS CENTRAL NY INTO VT OVERNIGHT. JUST ENOUGH LOW TO MID LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS TO GENERATE A FEW FLURRIES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NRN MTNS. By the way – thanks BTV NWS for having so many previous versions of the discussion available; it’s really nice to be able to go back and see the meteorologists’ comments on where our various bouts of snow are coming from. On that note, there’s more intense snowfall coming down here in Burlington, with pretty large flakes up to ¾” in diameter. Apparently that’s enhanced by the lake: ...LOW LEVEL NORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW COMING ACROSS LAKE CHAMPLAIN IS ENHANCING SOME VERY LIGHT SNOW OVER THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF FRANKLIN...CHITTENDEN...AND ADDISON COUNTIES OF VERMONT. WILL MENTION AN INCH OR LESS OF SNOW THIS MORNING BEFORE THE PRECIPITATION IS MAINLY FLURRIES. The snowfall here is actually pretty substantial and is accumulating on the roads, but it’s so fluffy that is doesn’t seem to be an issue for driving. It is very scenic though. Some details from the 6:00 A.M. Waterbury observations are below: New Snow: 0.4 inches New Liquid: 0.01 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 430.0 Snow Density: 2.5% Temperature: 13.3 F Sky: Light Snow (2-5 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 17.0 inches Below I added BTV’s map and numbers from the Nor’easter since I hadn’t seen it here yet.

tamarack Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Was down around -5 this AM and if the cirrus holds off, tonight might bring the season's first double digit negative. That's not particularly noteworthy, as this frost pocket has touched -20 or colder in 10 of 12 winters, not including this one. 06z gfs backed off on Tues/Wed qpf, making me wonder how strong a storm is being shown. In a weak event, Monday's forecast for even colder (than tomorrow) temps points toward CAD for my part of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Event totals: 12.9” Snow/0.98” L.E. Friday 1/14/2011 6:00 P.M. update: We picked up another 0.3” of snow from today’s activity, and it wasn’t snowing at observation time, so this could be the break point before the clipper unless any of the possible flurry activity accumulates tonight. BTV says the snow starts up with the clipper tomorrow afternoon around here. Our point forecast suggests up to 2 inches, but the BTV discussion says 2 to 4 inches for the mountains, and 1 to 3 for the valleys: .SHORT TERM /7 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM EST FRIDAY...ALBERTA CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL MOVE WEST TO EAST ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE AREA...BEGINNING EARLY SATURDAY ACROSS NORTHERN NEW YORK AND REACHING VERMONT BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. BEST VORTICITY ADVECTION WILL BE ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER. LEFT FRONT QUADRANT OF 250MB JET WILL ALSO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA DURING THIS TIME...THIS SUGGESTS SUFFICIENT LIFT WILL DEVELOP AND PRODUCE LIGHT SNOW ACROSS THE AREA. EXPECT LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS...1-3 AT THE LOWER ELEVATIONS AND 2-4 INCHES IN THE MOUNTAINS. SYSTEM IS FAIRLY PROGRESSIVE AND LOOKING AT THE LIGHT SNOW TAPERING OFF ON SUNDAY AND MAINLY BECOME CONFINED TO THE MOUNTAINS AS FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE NORTHWEST WITH TIME. EVEN THE MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS IN THE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE SHOULD END SUNDAY NIGHT. We’ll see where we fall into that scheme, but the activity should run through Sunday. Some details from the 6:00 A.M. Waterbury observations are below: New Snow: 0.3 inches New Liquid: 0.01 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 30.0 Snow Density: 3.3% Temperature: 14.9 F Sky: Light Cloudy Snow at the stake: 16.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Only got to -2F here on the hillside. Other lows so far...CON -8F, EEN -11F, BML -14F, IZG -15F. Had -18 IMBY, which makes some of the above temps surprising. On a clear night with good radiational cooling, I'm usually about the same as IZG and almost never colder than EEN/BML. Wonder if they had a few wispy clouds during the night. 06z gfs would point toward snow-to-IP here, maybe avoid zr altogether. We'll see, as the runs are still hopping around a bit. Pretty consistent for serious cold after the late week event, however. Looks like the AFC champoinship game could be another icebowl, especially if the Pats can beat the Jets, but it should be none too warm in Pittsburgh or Baltimore, either.

A couple of those sites may have gotten a little bit lower after 12z. I think BML/HIE fought clouds through about 9z-11z so they got a late start on the radiational cooling.
