Lava Rock Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Looks like freezing levels are starting to collapse in those heavier echoes ESE any love for us at 750'? lol. we got elevation man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Down to 36.8F and dropping fast (-3.1F/hr). Is it possible we get a little flakage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Didn't see that one when I was looking through the display, that's awesome. Snowing at Loon also per a shot on their Facebook about half an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Yeah, I'm going to have to update to at least put a small amount of accumulation south of the mountains it looks like. Model guidance was fairly horrible when it came to mid level temps today. Nothing came close to capturing the rapidity of cooling. I ended up just shifting everything 6 hours earlier.

tamarack Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 The Loaf is showing snowflakes on their base cam now. Which is probably about 600' higher than the one at SR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Will precip fill back in? It pretty much stopped here after the flip...

OceanStWx Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Will precip fill back in? It pretty much stopped here after the flip... Don't think it will. The main band is pulling east now. You might catch a stray snow shower or two tonight that sneaks over the ridgeline once the upslope really gets going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Likely a little toooooo wet, but the I'll take it for 12hr precip. Certainly the overall flow supports this sort of gradient. If it were actually cold, this would be awesome. With the marginal snow growth temps and non-frozen ground, this feels like a 3-4" type snow today....mostly above 1500ft...which is all I care about. 12.3.15 12hr precip.JPG 2-3" on the ground and it's ramped back up.

MarkO Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Cannon stated they were expecting 1-3", I told them they'll probably get more like 3-6". A half hour ago they were already at 3" at the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Transitioning to the upslope mechanism now. Actually getting close to 3" at 1500ft now. It's really ramped up with flake size. True pasting going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Incredibly tight snow gradient from a total pasting at 1,550ft but almost nothing at 1,300-1,400ft. 3" at 1,550ft where these photos were taken: After spending 9 hours today in a full on snowstorm, I left work and within 30 seconds down the road it was all just a memory. Rain/snow mix with no accumulations below 1,350ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 It is precipitating quite steadily here in town and keeps mixing with everything from fat flakes to graupel. Nice streamer of upslope echoes coming right down Mountain Road/RT 108... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 WVL was reporting -SN and 33 at 3 PM. Saw a 2 PM Facebook pic from Farmington with -SN and perhaps 1/2" OG - at about 925' however, which promises little for my place at 385'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain/snow mix with no accumulations below 1,350ft. I was about to post the same thing going from Jeffersonville to Smuggs to ski today. The gradient was very sharp. I would say within 200ft of elevation change. It went from the misery of bare ground and mud to a beautiful winter scene. The snow was steady at Smuggs but no overly heavy. I would say at the base 2 inches or so accumulated with perhaps a little more at 2000-2500 ft. The snow lightened up to almost nothing but a few needles at the summit of Sterling (just over 3,000ft). Madonna is not open yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madonna is not open yet. Yeah it was crazy how it was full winter storm all day at the office but less than a mile down the road it was grass. How late were you able to stay? Smuggs snow report says 3-5" of new snow today, so sounds similar to this side where there was a pasty 3-4". To be honest it didn't seem that elevation dependent once above the snow line...like 3" at 1,500ft and 3.5" at 3,000ft type of a deal. Got to enjoy it as it looks like it may be a little while before we see another snowy day, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Just barely got into the action down here in the NW Lakes Region of NH. Rainshowers changed to snowshowers this AM and continued lightly all day with some pokes of sun. Stayed around 35-36F at the house at 1100 feet. Just as the sunset the vis improved enough for me to see the hills over 1800 feet were lightly snow covered. Had some errands down at Newfound Lake level and just plain rainshowers 600 feet below me.

J.Spin Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 BTV's map: Thanks for posting the map, pretty decent all in all, and probably fairly consistent with the additional accumulations mentioned below: .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 259 PM EST THURSDAY...LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DEEPEN ACROSS FAR DOWNEAST MAINE WHILE SLOWLY PULLING AWAY FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY. TRAILING MID-LEVEL CLOSED LOW AND ASSOCIATED THERMAL LOW IS CURRENTLY OVER THE NORTH COUNTRY AND WILL ALSO BE CONTINUING OFF TO THE EAST THIS EVENING...WITH ASSOCIATED RAIN AND MTN SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY CONTINUING TO DIMINISH AREAWIDE. MOIST LOW-LEVEL CONDITIONS WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES BENEATH THE UPPER LOW STILL RESULTING IN SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS MAINLY THE NRN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA PER MOSAIC COMPOSITE REFLECTIVITY...BUT RADAR TRENDS CONTINUE TO DECREASE SINCE 18Z. LOW- LEVEL NWLY FLOW REGIME WILL MAINTAIN OROGRAPHIC PRECIPITATION INTO THE CENTRAL/NRN GREEN MTNS THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THIS EVENING (THRU 01Z- 02Z)...AFTER WHICH TIME WE LOSS CYCLONIC FLOW REGIME AS SHORTWAVE RIDGING BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. PRECIPITATION HAS GENERALLY ENDED IN THE VALLEYS ALREADY...WITH JUST A FEW PASSING SPRINKLES OR FLURRIES THIS EVENING. DOWNSLOPING EFFECTS YIELDING SOME BREAKS IN THE OVERCAST EAST OF THE ADRIONDACKS INTO THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY AS WELL. ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL GENERALLY CONFINED TO ELEVATIONS ABOVE 1000-1200FT...AS VALLEY TEMPS REMAIN IN THE MID-UPR 30S THROUGH THIS EVENING. ABOVE 1000-1200FT...AN ADDITIONAL DUSTING TO 1" SNOWFALL IS POSSIBLE...WITH 2-3" ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL POSSIBLE AT THE HIGHER SUMMITS. OVERNIGHT LOWS GENERALLY IN THE UPR 20S TO LOWER 30S...BUT A FEW SPOTS IN THE ADIRONDACKS COULD SEE LOWER 20S WHERE SOME CLEARING OCCURS OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL REMAIN NW AROUND 10 MPH...DIMINISHING AFTER MIDNIGHT AS WEAK SFC RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE AREA AND P-GRADIENT WEAKENS. There has been some additional moisture pushing into the area on radar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a little lull there but now its starting to rain and graupel again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a little lull there but now its starting to rain and graupel again. Shows how warm the pattern is when Stowe is raining AFTER a cold front in December.The amazing thing to me is we just had a cutter with a windy cold FROPA, and it was still close to 50F here today, and the next two days should reach 48-50F. 850s are barely below 0C even after a cold front, like the opposite of Dec 2010 when cold fronts brought us from 55F to 15F twice. Reminds me of Jan-Mar 2010 in Middlebury when we couldn't register one below normal day despite several cold fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems reasonable. Here are 3 shots I got from there via cell phone today: I would be lying if I said I wasn't concerned about this winter and it's possibility to suck but I hope things pick up down the road.
