Hitman Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 4 hours ago, adk said: In all but the worst years, 72" depths at 4000ft are almost a given. In fact they are almost a foot below average max depth (88") for the snow stake - which is not at 4000ft. I can all but assure you that SB is going to have a 6 foot pit of snow around that cam at some point this year. It's a great product though and SB should be applauded. I'm still smarting from last winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Event totals: 4.6” Snow/0.32” L.E. PF asked about ratios for this event – the 0.9” from the morning came in at 12.9, the 3.7” from the day came in at 14.8, so it was 14.4 for the overall event. There's still a bit of light snow falling out there, although I’m not sure if it will amount to anything that needs to be added to the total. Details from the 6:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 3.7 inches New Liquid: 0.25 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 14.8 Snow Density: 6.8% H2O Temperature: 30.2 F Sky: Light Snow (1-3 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 6.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we got more liquid than I originally thought and it's not as fluffy as I was thinking. There's some liquid in it. I had almost the same exact total so the 1/3rd of an inch of liquid sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Managed 2.5". Enough to get the snowblower out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Yeah I'm almost to the halfway point of last winter's totals here at home...and also up at the ski resort is about 50% of last year's snowfall so far.Ha. What a crazy difference a year makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 3.3 appears to be the total here. Nice fluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Look like around 4" around here. Still had some flurries drifting down gently. Normally 4" would warrant firing up the snowblower but since I have a crushed slate driveway, I like to have a packed snow base so the snowblower doesn't end up becoming a machine gun lol. So we will drive over for the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Event totals: 4.7” Snow/0.32” L.E. We picked up a final tenth of an inch of snow yesterday evening/overnight, with a trace of liquid. That should mark the end of this storm. Details from the 6:00 A.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 0.1 inches New Liquid: Trace Temperature: 30.6 F Sky: Partly Cloudy Snow at the stake: 5.0 inches The next event to affect the area is anticipated tonight into tomorrow with an inch or two: Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Burlington VT 701 AM EST Tue Dec 6 2016 .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Tonight we will have our next system approaching from the Southwest. This is another warm front with some decent shortwave energy. It should stay cold enough across our area to mainly just see snow with this feature. Overnight minimum temperatures will be around the mid 20s to around 30. Light snow will move into our forecast area from the Southwest during the second half of the overnight hours. Have mainly high chance to low likely pops and have also gone with mention of light snow. This feature will weaken over time as it tracks Northeastward. Best shortwave energy will exit off the Mid Atlantic coast. Expect just minor snow accumulations with this event, generally just 1-2 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am here to a certain extent, Its has to be the right conditions with little to no wind and HP over northern Maine for a cold air drain, I sit in a valley on the outskirts of a watershed district, But i torch easily on any winds out of the SSE as i'm pretty exposed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
