powderfreak Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 This is the time of year when it's another world at 1500ft than at 800ft...they plowed up here last night with a dense 2" of now frozen slop, while down lower we just dusted the grass blades.

powderfreak Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Looks like Stowe and Jeffersonville are no longer connected...now its a solid 45 minutes to an hour drive to go between the two. RT 108 through the Notch may be done till May now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 I was surprised to see the Jeffersonville COOP at 1,000ft picked up 3.0" of snow yesterday...that's a nice little snowfall for that elevation. Certainly no where even close to 3" at 1,000ft on this side of the Notch. JEFFERSONVILLE COOP (1163 FT) 3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Always love your pics powderfreak great stuff Thank man...I'm an images guy, would rather fill these threads with media content than written descriptions. Photos are really worth a thousand words no matter how cliche it is lol. Yesterday featured the first good dusting into the lower elevations around the mountains (the more inhabited areas). Hopefully we can get something more substantial in this pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Been getting a few rounds of flurries and light snow showers so far today at the ski area.

mreaves Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 That sounds like a great spot for weather watching. Love wide expansive views to watch approaching weather.It is. I wish I was skilled enough with a camera to do it justice. The camp is on the side of Buffalo Mt., at the northern end of the Worcester Range. Or at least I think it's an extension of the Worcester Range. The wind can be strong up there, we've learned to keep the grill chained to the porch.

J.Spin Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Event totals: 0.5” Snow/0.44” L.E. It was a busy day yesterday, so I didn’t get a chance to pass along the final numbers from the most recent storm, but part of the time was actually spent out in the snow, so fortunately that's still trumping an ultra timely report about the snow. Anyway, by morning I wasn't able to capture any more than a trace of liquid from Friday night's snowfall due to whatever combination of melting/evaporation/sublimation took place, so that core had to go down as a trace. But the Saturday morning report went in with 0.11" of additional liquid from the event and other information as follows: Details from the 6:00 A.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 0.4 inches New Liquid: Trace Temperature: 30.1 F Sky: Mostly Clear Snow at the stake: Trace In the morning I visited Mansfield for a ski tour to check out the recent snows, and I'll pass along some additional details and images from that when I get it put together, but for now I've included a couple of other images from yesterday. The first is from Stowe around midday when I was heading back to Waterbury, and the second is from when we were in Essex Junction for an indoor soccer tournament in the afternoon. It's been nice having the white peaks as a backdrop during one's daily travels; hopefully they'll persist as long as the temperatures stay at or below average. It looks like the next opportunities for snow are tonight, and then Thursday night into Friday, although tonight's opportunity isn't too much of note, and there's still some model disagreement with what goes on toward the end of the week. Related excerpts from the recent BTV NWS forecast discussion are added below: .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 AM MONDAY MORNING/... ...A RATHER "BLAH" FORECAST ON TAP FOR TONIGHT WITH VARIABLE CLOUDS AND AN OUTSIDE CHANCE FOR A FEW LIGHT RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS LATE ACROSS THE FAR NORTH AS WEAK ADDL NRN STREAM ENERGY APPROACHES FROM THE WSW LATE.
