wxeyeNH Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 eek, I just remember the 1998 ice storm around here. Just epic damage to almost all the trees. I lost so much. Too bad your were not home to brush away the snow as it fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont clear it in the winter.yea that's what I thought, saw the radiation increase at the same time as rainfall. Nice snow cover. Helluva way to run a torch up there.

wxeyeNH Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Temperature drifting down. High today was 35.8F. Snow is sure not going anywhere to fast. What is left after Monday will glacialize and take alot of energy to melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 And snow cover is patchy again. That was a warm night, 40s at all elevations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yeah...even mostly 40s throughout VT right now. CAD is fairly impressive there, haha...you're going to rise when we drop. Man even mid-40s in the mecca of First CT Lake and Pittsburgh, NH...35-40F in FVE/CAR area...but that area just south/east slopes of the Whites down into Eastern VT hills just holds onto that cold. Crazy variable though...a buddy just drove in from Willamstown, VT near Montpelier and said it was 34F at his house with like 8-10" of snow, and then by the time he hit Waterbury the temp was mid-40s straight up to the mountain.

powderfreak Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Impressive inversion over there Dendrite. That's like last January when Cannon was snowless from base to summit, yet your area had like a 10" glacier, lol. We are well mixed over here and warming adiabatically.

eyewall Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Unfortunately yes the beautiful snow cover is no more, but it is early season so that isn't unusual. It was nice while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 West side of VT. Where flurries always fly, but snow pack cries. We have similar climo to Pittsburgh, NH. Lots of snowy days, but the NW slope can melt from time to time. Looks about the same this morning here. He's (johns weather) had about the same amount of snow as this area too, with 20-25" this season to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Front is definitely through now... 31F at 1,500ft here, and 25F at the summit. A few flurries mixing in with a freezing mist. Down 15 degrees in the past 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Still a solid pack at mi casa. image.jpg I was almost wondering if in your area, living at a lower elevation is more preferable to some degree? I don't know that little micro-climate well, but it seems the low elevation spots hold snow much better than the higher elevations. I still think of those photos last January where you had like 10-12" solid snow, while Cannon was completely bare. This morning looking through the CoCoRAHS reports, there's this one from Newbury, NH in Merrimack County (I think that's your county?) where the spotter only had 0.5" of snow depth this morning, similar to this area. The elevation isn't listed but he says it was 50F this morning in the comments with "unbelievable snow melt". So it makes me wonder, if the payoff for being at higher elevation is undermined by the fact that they don't CAD anywhere near as well as the lower elevations. Its a fascinating micro-climate in your area...like to think that if your property was at 1,500ft+ or something you may have grass showing through, but since you are down low you have a healthy pack.

Nittany88 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Snow outside of piles has completely melted here. I was down in NJ for Thanksgiving week and the snow there actually had more staying power than up in BTV. Left full snowcover there to come back to grass!

I think it depends what type of warmups you have...if they are well-mixed 40-45F days, then elevation is preferable..but CAD setups you want to be lower down in protected areas When I drove up to Bretton Woods last April...the elevations had all the snow pack while the lower CAD areas definitely had less.
