adk Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Haha yeah. This is one of the more frustrating good winters for sure...especially this second half since January 24th. The first half was actually really good and exciting up here even if the snowfall wasn't ridiculous. Lots of storms living on the edge of the rain/snow line for the first half of winter. The skiing has been phenomenal though so that's kept me from losing it a few times with all the near misses haha. Nickels and dimes are still valid legal tender. Amazing how much gas you can buy with change. I'm pretty certain we'll have another big storm or two. There is always something in April and May and i'd doubt March goes without doing something exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we get closer to the Equinox, my golfing jones grows so I hope any big snow events come sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Event totals: 0.7” Snow/0.01" L.E. Today's snow was rather unexpected; there was 0.7" from the secondary frontal passage and upslope enhancement. Details from the 5:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 0.7 inches New Liquid: 0.01 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 70.0 Snow Density: 1.4% H2O Temperature: 14.1 F Sky: Partly Cloudy Snow at the stake: 18.5" The weather pattern certainly suggests continued potential for snow, with four possible storms through next weekend shown on the latest GFS. These prognosticated systems are in the northern stream, with the first this weekend, the second Mon/Tue, the third Wed/Thu, and a fourth next weekend. The forecast for the first one has the most confidence of course, with the possibility of several inches of snow for the local mountains as mentioned in the BTV NWS forecast discussion: NEXT NORTHERN STREAM S/W ENERGY AND ASSOCIATED RIBBON OF ENHANCED 850 TO 500MB MOISTURE APPROACHES OUR WESTERN CWA BY 06Z SATURDAY. AS WITH MANY CLIPPER LIKE SYSTEMS...MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED WITH PWS VALUES BTWN 0.20 AND 0.25"...RESULTING IN A LIGHT ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL. SNOWFALL WILL RANGE FROM A DUSTING TO SEVERAL INCHES IN THE MOUNTAINS. WILL MENTION LIKELY POPS NORTHERN DACKS INTO THE MOUNTAINS OF CENTRAL/NORTHERN VT...WITH CHC ELSEWHERE. It looks like there's the potential for a reasonably snowy period coming up according to the graphical point forecast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 -3.1F...and the best goes on... Looks like one more night of the extreme cold before we moderate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 -19F now at MVL. I had -18F on my car driving to work. I'm so over it at this point. Poor truck is starting to cry uncle each morning it's -15 or less. Been a rough winter for car batteries. Balmy -4F up at 1500ft though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 BTV hit -10F for the low. That is definitely impressive for March I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 -21F was the final low at MVL. Last year around this time we had a -19F I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Eye on the Sky reported it is -30f in Pittsburg this morning. St. J low looks to have been -17. It was -9f at my house. My dog was laying on top of a 6 foot high snow pile, licking his paws and sunning himself as happy as could be. He will be miserable when we hit 60 again.

ApacheTrout Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 -10F in Orwell. Hopefully, that's the last of these bad nasty subzeros. Heck, I'd be happy to say goodbye to the single digit lows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Minus 22 or 23 this morning, 10 days at -20 or colder. I anticipate -5 to -10 tomorrow morning, and perhaps some zero or below late next week. After that, odds are quite low - in 16 years I've had 11 subzero days after the Ides of March, 5 of which (and the only ones colder than -5) came last year.

eekuasepinniW Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Got the greenhouse opened up yesterday. Rather unexpectedly brutal low of 9.5 last night. I get edgy when there is noticeable movement on the propane tank gauge in a single night. 81 in there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Turned into a nice wintery later afternoon. Been having a couple hours of at least light snow, with occasional periods of moderate to briefly heavy snow. The obs at MVL haven't been that impressive, but there I think we may have hit heavy snow criteria for a short period of time. Had some heavy graupel earlier too. Amazing how high in the sky the sun was at 5pm. Had 0.7" so far from the various snow showers and squalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Nice pics ^^^^^ Had some brief squalls go through here over the past hour with great snow growth. Just enough to give a snow globe scene for a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Started snowing around 2:30 in warren. From there down 100 it was snowing quite hard with huge flakes. Almost whiteout at times. Stopped when we got south of Wallingford. Wow, did it feel warm today. The snow was spectacular this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Event totals: 0.9” Snow/0.02” L.E. There was 0.1” of snow on the boards when we got home from skiing today. I suspect it was much fluffier earlier, but I could see that it had melted down somewhat due to sun and or marginal temperatures around freezing in our area. Details from the 7:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 0.1 inches New Liquid: 0.01 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 10.0 Snow Density: 10.0% H2O Temperature: 30.4 F Sky: Mostly Cloudy Snow at the stake: 18.0 inches It was dumping up at Stowe today, I added a couple of images below from near the end of the day at ~1,500’ in the Spruce Peak Base Area.
