mreaves Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 My unofficial, semi-accurate measurement has me at 12" and still snowing (that part is official and accurate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Storm snowfall is 11.3" as of 12:00 A.M. – with 0.7" in the past hour, the rate of snowfall has certainly decreased relative to the previous hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 9.2" at midnight here... which I realized brought me to 20.1" for the month of November so far. Not a bad start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Awesome snow out there...really didn't think when it was warm and muddy yesterday with no snow that tonight we'd be solidly in the winter zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly where the total for November stands for my site as well as of that midnight reading. Indeed that's a good start to the season; based on what I've seen over the past several years of recording snowfall in this area, snowfall in that ~20" range represents a good November.

Ginx snewx Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Winnicam Looking south and east 10+ miles we can see power flashes in the night sky. No power here. Black Friday could mean "pitch black." #NHwx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 10.0" exactly at just after 1am. Time for bed but still snowing pretty steadily between 1/2"-1" per hour. Looks like we just rot in this light snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 12.5" final. No idea when I get power back. NHEC estimates 1045am. We'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApacheTrout Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 16.5 inches. Snow began accumulating around 12:30 yesterday. Measurements on the snowboard at 6:30 pm, 10:15 pm, and then again at 7 am this morning. 0.82 liquid content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klw Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 3 inches new since 5:15, 8 inches total. Another 5 inches overnight, 13 inches total with 11.5 on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Storm total for our location was 11.6" with this event – the hourly depth observations table covering the main twelve hours is below. The slowing of the snowfall rate in those last couple of observations is very evident: There's certainly been some settling – snow depth is 10.5" this morning.

eekuasepinniW Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 ... Belknap County... Laconia 16.5 508 am 11/27 1.45 water Even though LCI got stuck under a heavy band late last night, I'm still not buying it. 16.5 would be the second biggest snowfall since 1986.

eyewall Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Going through pics now. What an awesome event this turned out to be! NWS office says we got 8" or so (I am very close to them as the crow flies in Winooski) but the depth was probably 6-7" this morning. I took a drive to Huntington and it touched double digits there.

J.Spin Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The north to south listing of available snowfall totals from the Vermont ski areas are below, and the list is finally getting close to normal length as a lot of areas are opening up and reporting. There aren't too many storms where the snowfall is distributed so evenly up and down the spine of the Greens, so this was a nice one for all the resorts: Jay Peak: 13” Smuggler’s Notch: 8” Stowe: 12” Bolton Valley: 12” Mad River Glen: 14” Sugarbush: 12” Pico: 12” Killington: 12” Okemo: 12” Bromley: 10” Stratton: 13” Mount Snow: 14” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty amazing how that happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Wow, awesome shots. Thank you. I found a very scenic area around Huntington, VT (although the first one is in my neighborhood). They received around 11 inches there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Great shots Eyewall, I wish I had more time to go take scenics today. This is the most picturesque snow we've had in a long time that I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Respect the mid level lows. We preach that for a reason. The thing is you never know if it'll produce...even the HRRR and RAP weren't showing it while it was happening. You can say there's the potential for a positive bust but I still don't know anyone that would've forecast the amounts we had up here. QPF was pretty close to correct with like 0.6" but 18:1 ratios. You guys were mentioning the high snow growth, that was also something we should've picked up on...the further NW you went the higher the lift was occurring and it was better situated in the DGZ. Our lift was probably at like H6? You can also tell the lift was high because terrain really didn't play any role. Fairly uniform snowfall, no like upslope/downslope stuff.

Well every storm is different, but that's why myself, Will, and others preach to sort of ignore QPF and take the over. If you are in a favored spot wrt the mid level low positions, it will almost always produce and that's not an exaggeration. I'm not saying we all expected over a foot...but you can bet your behind that you will always do well when you are in a favored location wrt the position and movement of those mid level lows. One of my best examples was this year on 1/21. I was salivating when I saw the H7 WF to my south but QPF was maybe 0.5". I knew I would do well. That was the storm where we had almost 30:1 ratios.

wxeyeNH Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Ended up with 11-12". I didn't clear every 6 hours. No tree damage up here on the hill but wow did the birches and white pines take a hit below. 200,000 customers without power as of mid day. What's that like 600,000 people? 1.3 million people in the state so almost 50% without power. Seems too high but a lot of messed up turkey dinners. Its good that it's just around freezing out to get the food outside and safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
