wxeyeNH Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Brian, I wouldn't even call this a storm. Just a gentle light snowfall that blows off the road. Iguess the biggest factor today is that it is just so cold. Don't have too many 7F days. Friends were skiing at Ragged when their new lift broke down. 1 1/2 hours sitting on the chair. They had to lower people by rope or someway. People were still stuck when she got down 3.2" so far. By the way the ski resorts must be hurting in the Rockies. I watch my brothers cam facing Aspen and they have had almost no snow in a month. Temps lately have been getting into the low 50's. Here's the view right now, suntan anyone?

powderfreak Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Most boring "storm" ever? lol yeah. 1.7" accumulated in the past 12 hours here at home. "Storm total" since yesterday morning is...4.7". If you are adding in Friday night when the boundary slipped south, its 8.2". I think the snowpack has only increased by like 2-3" though from that 8.2" since Friday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 It felt like I just snowblowed 6". + or - . Could there have been any freezing rain involved? There was a light coating of ice on my windshield. No crust on the snow though. Really fine consistency to the snow today. Edit: 6" is counting Friday nights stuff.

There was some freezing drizzle and mist up, along with snow grains up on the mountain today at times. When the radar showed echoes move in, it was back to flakes. But there was some low level moisture going on...no crusting of the snow or anything, but you definitely had icing on goggles and jackets as you skied through it. Its like there was a lot of low level moisture and no ice nuclei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I agree with what you were saying in the bigger thread. This seems pretty mild for a warning. There are plenty of stretches where the mountains get 3"-4" a day several days in a row while down here we're getting 1"-2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'm loving the wintery appeal...I don't mind days of light snow and refreshing 2-4" every 12hrs for the slopes. I think this system was over-hyped, but it's enjoyable to see it snowing each time you look outside for a couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yeah it was weird. From about noon till I stopped skiing at 2, there was like a freezing mist. Iced up the goggles and shell. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Event totals: 5.8” Snow/0.36" L.E. It was difficult to tell how hard it was snowing today since the flakes have been so small, but there's definitely liquid in what's falling from the sky. It's funny how today's snow is almost the antithesis of what was falling the previous couple of days with respect to density – they are at totally opposite ends of the spectrum with 2% H2O snow before and over 12% H2O today. This stuff simply crushes any fluff below. We were skiing at Stowe today and as others said, there was freezing fog that would stick to your goggles and make visibility difficult. It was heavily elevation dependent though; if you stayed down low it wasn't even an issue. In terms of overall conditions on the slopes though, they are just so good that they make you want to be out there every day. Details from the 6:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 1.7 inches New Liquid: 0.21 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 8.1 Snow Density: 12.4% H2O Temperature: 16.0 F Sky: Snow (1-2 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 19.5" On a seasonal note, today's accumulation just pushed the snowfall past the century mark for our location, and that's actually a few days ahead of average. Another slight rollback: I saw that, and it's mentioned in the BTV NWS discussion: PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FROM 318 PM EST SUNDAY...WINTER STORM WARNINGS REMAIN IN PLACE FOR THE ENTIRE AREA THROUGH 1 AM TUESDAY. BOTTOM LINE...WE HAVE TWEAKED TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS DOWN BY AN INCH OR TWO. I figured one could account for that simply based on the density of this snow; heck, if the snow continued to fall with the ratios it had previously, there would have been 10-12" with today's daytime accumulation alone. I'm loving the wintery appeal...I don't mind days of light snow and refreshing 2-4" every 12hrs for the slopes. I think this system was over-hyped, but it's enjoyable to see it snowing each time you look outside for a couple days. Yeah, I'm not sure what all the complaining is about in the thread though; this is how a long duration event plays out. It's not necessary to watch the snow fall and accumulate, that's like getting a watched pot to boil – especially with flakes of the size we've been seeing here. Just come back in 12 hours and there's accumulation to measure. At this point I'd assume that accumulations will be on the lower end of the forecasts simply because of the ridiculous density of this snow – 12%+ H2O is pretty hefty stuff and it takes a lot of that to get to a foot. I always thought that was part of the reason for the forecast range on snowfall – if the snow growth is poor, the accumulation ends up toward the lower end of the range. The point forecast here calls for another 5-10" through tomorrow night, and even the low end of that would make this quite a significant event.

eyewall Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 We had the freezing drizzle earlier with single digits mixed with diamond dust like flakes. it was actually causing ice pillar optics in headlights for bit. We are at 3 inches for this event thus far. Snow depth is between 10-11 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 KMPV has thrown up a -11.7F for the first week of February. Deep, deep winter rolls along.

eyewall Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 And it looks like this one will go down as a bust here by about half or less of what was originally forecast.

eyewall Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 We have a total of 3.1 inches in Winooski from this event with about 10 inches of depth out there maybe 11 in some spots. Either way we got about 1/3 to 1/2 the original forecast. This was a downer but it happens. I hope Thu overperforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
