SJonesWX Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I have scratchers already but won't help much here with bare ground.............lol, They work well, Probably a moot point after this weekend for some areas that already have a pack anyways and going forward, Right now sled prep is in order with cleaning carbs and replacing reeds dont you just love the effect that the ethanol has had on small carbed engines. cleaning carbs should not be a yearly maintenance item,yet it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 I like the looks of the little meso-scale event on Thursday and Friday...lake effect mixed with upslope as a couple shortwaves interact with the arctic boundary. I could see the central and northern Greens getting 3-6" in the higher elevations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking at this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 dont you just love the effect that the ethanol has had on small carbed engines. cleaning carbs should not be a yearly maintenance item,yet it isive had to clean the carbs on one of my sleds the last 4yrs due to EtOH gumming up the carbs. Bought some non-etoh gas recently to bring it out of hibernation. 5 bucks a gallon but at least i can let it sit for a bit without worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 11F currently with a low of 5F at 7pm. Chilly. Today was the first day on the mountain since early Dec that temps and winds required all skin to be covered. High of 2F with steady 20-30mph winds...most of the day was -3F to 0F up there. Wind chills in the -20s to -30F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's really cool to see; until you mentioned it yesterday I hadn't been paying much attention to these intermediate events on the models as I would breeze through to see what the potential was for the weekend. Yesterday morning's snow was nice, but nowhere near enough to get us to think about skiing yet. Starting tomorrow though, it looks like the ball actually gets rolling – there's snow starting as early as tomorrow on various models. As seen for Mansfield, snow potential in the mountain forecast is looking good right out through the weekend aside from that Saturday period, and there could be a decent shot of snow during the weekend as well depending on how that storm breaks: Saturday Night Snow. Low around 14. Very windy, with a south wind 15 to 25 mph increasing to 37 to 47 mph. Winds could gust as high as 60 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Sunday Snow. High near 29. Very windy, with a south wind 41 to 47 mph becoming southwest in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 60 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. I've seen people throwing around the 12/16/07 storm as something they see as a match for this potential event? That was a decent one here with 16.5" of snow, which would actually be more than we picked up all of last January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenson Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 -2 for a low, 0 atm with light snow falling. Looking at the webcam, it looks like Lake Morey iced over last night. This is the third time--let's see if it sticks. http://www.lakemoreyresort.com/webcam The other lake around here--Lake Fairlee--has been iced over for close to a week now. Drove by it last evening and saw some skaters out there. The ice looked pretty good actually--nice & smooth and it had that gray color that to me means it's pretty solid.

J.Spin Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Close to an inch here of new snow in Winooski after a moderate burst just a short time ago. We had a tenth of an inch here at 6:00 A.M. observations time and then a couple of tenths since, which was actually enough to push this December's total ahead of December 2011 and above the two bottom spots in that hierarchy. As of this morning, this December's totals are coming in at 24.9" snow/4.89" L.E., so close to average in terms of liquid, but quite low on snow and still behind last season in that department.

MarkO Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 3.7 for my low this morning up here in Thornton. That's exactly 10.0 deg lower than my low in Lowell of 13.7.

Got around 0.3" this morning here too just to whiten it up a bit from the 2-hour period of 3sm or less visibility -SN. I still had more snow at the house snow board in November than this December which is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still had more snow at the house snow board in November than this December which is interesting. Yeah, I noticed that when you had posted your numbers before; that's probably an arrangement that won't happen too often. The numbers here are Nov 22.2"/Dec 24.9", so December did end out on top by a bit. When December and November come in close like that, it's almost guaranteed to be December's fault – I don’t have any Novembers in my records up near the typical 40" December numbers, and I suspect a 40" November would be tough to do down here in the valley. Seasonal snowfall is a few inches behind average here now with the somewhat cold & clear setup we've had the past few days, but hopefully this next stretch will help to keep things somewhat on pace.
