Hitman Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Wow that's an impressive elevational event. 1" base and 6" summit. 2" base here with 3" summit last 24 hours. Perhaps a little under reporting of the base number I suspect because I got about 3" at the house at 1500'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 8-12 for ski areas by Tues am? I could see that in some spots. Naturally I'd be a bit more conservative and go 4-8", but if it breaks right yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Some numbers from a record December: Avg temp: 29.69 +7.33 and tops 2006 by 2.30 for mildest of 17 here. Month was +8.5 thru 12/27. Avg. max: 36.06 +4.97 2nd to 2001 (36.65) Avg min: 23.32 +9.70 Tops 2006 by 3.84. The avg diurnal range of 12.74 is my lowest for any month. High: 47 on the 25th. Quite modest, considering the overall avg, and below my median high for Dec. I've recorded 50+ in 9-of-17 Decembers. High minimum: 35 on the 12th, ties for 4th mildest. Low: 7 on the 1st. Only my 2nd Dec not to have a subzero low, only one with the month's low during the 1st week, and not as cold as Nov's low (6 on the 30th.) The 40F range is the smallest for any December here. Low maximum: 13 on the 29th, during the snowstorm. Not in coldest 10 maxima. Precip: 5.82" +1.33" Most in one day: 0.93" in the snow of 12/29. Year precip: 45.87" -3.91" Snowfall: 9.0" -9.9" 12/29 had 7.0". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 It seems like its been snowing for days and days now, although not a ton of accumulation to show for it. But it has been wintery and feeling more like Northern Vermont lately with -SN for days and days. Another pulse moving through...had 0.2" at home today on the board.

powderfreak Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Its been ripping this morning...picked up at least an inch in the last 1-2 hours. One week ago we got 1.35" of rain and it poured all day long. Probably the most depressing day on Mansfield in a long time... but amazing how far we've come in one week. Its pure winter out there. This isn't from snowmaking, its just from heavy caking snow and rime plastering everything above 2,500ft. Yellow's just blowin' up as they move over Mansfield.

Yea, right around 8am the heavily saturated environment started to spit snowflakes out and then it just went all out rip. Easily an inch in 1.5 hours. Nice fat flakes. Made for a real nice surface. Hopefully it keeps up. And it should. Plenty of upstream moisture till the real squalls arrive. Be great to get onto some real natural terrain tomorrow. Curious to see how this cold shot verifies. Everything has been pretty much overplayed coldwise this year. Maybe we'll see a real change to that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I'm going to dynamite those Green Mountains. Just endless snow showers that look like they are coming my way and the Green's eat them up. Maybe with the actual front we can get some flurries over to this side. I like the looks of the 12Z GFS. Haven't read the board yet to see what the Euro has for late week. Edit...guess Euro is way west. Best not to look at runs until we are 4 or perhaps 5 days out. On a separate note I don't like the new resolution lines on the GFS. At least on the 850. All the little squiggles. Maybe its good within 24 hours but they are not going to verify days out and makes the maps harder to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 The squalls didn't really materialize so far here. We have had decent snow showers but nothing like a 2-3 inch an hour near whiteout. It is hard with the mountains to pinpoint where anything might be in northern NY on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard with the mountains to pinpoint where anything might be in northern NY on radar. Couldn't come up with a more Currier and Ives snow as right now. Just huge dendrites and aggregates (some like a half inch to and inch wide) falling softly. It's like 1-2sm 1" per hour type stuff, haha. The flakes are so big that although visibility isn't very low it still stacks up quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
