powderfreak Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 What a sweet burst. Should move out quickly but we'll see if we get regenerating -SN overnight as models show. RGEM and GFS half inch of QPF may have trouble though looking at radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGEM and GFS half inch of QPF may have trouble though looking at radar. image.gif Half inch may be a stretch- but there is some upstream moisture. The 'Dacks, as always, make it hard to see until it really comes over the top. I remember a few weeks ago- the moisture just seemed to sit west of the CPV and downslope/dry out for hour after hour. Nothing came over here. The localized weather here can be crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ono Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Some of those radar returns- Jay Peak vicinity looks to be getting pounded. Mansfield is probably doing alright as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Around 1" here now. Nice fog outside in the lights of just steady snow. Looks like it'll shut down quickly before more stuff moves in. 00z 4km WRF brings 0.5" QPF to Mansfield so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Some of those radar returns- Jay Peak vicinity looks to be getting pounded. Mansfield is probably doing alright as well. Yeah the upper elevations would do well with this...like 1" per hour here is probably 2" per hour at 3,000ft in this case. Especially with the dry air at the surface. Can tell looking at the RH if it's 75% at 750ft, 90% at 1,500ft, and 100% at the picnic tables...they probably just got an hour of chokingly heavy snow up there with those squall-like echoes. MVL with +SN 1/4sm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 We picked up a tenth and it has stopped now LOL.Yeah, when we came out of the UVM hockey game there was a coating but it had stopped doing anything. Looked like maybe an inch here by the time we got home but the wind had scoured my snowboard and deck clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move to Underhill, you'll have a different experience. Looking upstream, the mountains may do well tonight. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 3" even on the board at 1,500ft last night. Had 2" at home at 750ft. Groomers reporting 5" up high. First time in a very long time that I had the pleasure of driving to work in snowfall with snowpacked roads. Great density to it...not fluff and not wet. Just good quality synoptic snow probably 10:1. Jay Peak looked to be a bit more into it and they are likewise reporting 6" overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgottmann Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 2 inches of packing snow at base of Sugarbush. Crazy thing is that people are standing in line at the lift like it is a powder day.

J.Spin Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Event totals: 1.9” Snow/0.14” L.E. Snow started up yesterday evening with a strong initial burst, and then was on and off at times. I cleared 0.7” from the snowboards at midnight and we presumably got another decent round of steadier precipitation to reveal another 1.2” this morning. Our forecast down here in the valley for this part of the storm was calling for 1-3”, so this seems right on track with what was expected. Details from the 12:00 A.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 0.7 inches New Liquid: 0.0.06 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 11.7 Snow Density: 8.6% H2O Temperature: 30.7 F Sky: Light Snow (1-4 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 4.0 inches Details from the 6:00 A.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 1.2 inches New Liquid: 0.08 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 15.0 Snow Density: 6.7% H2O Temperature: 34.3 F Sky: Cloudy Snow at the stake: 5.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Sun's out...torching up near 40F soon. Last night was one of those events where 20 years ago I would've never known it snowed because I'd be in bed until noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
