It is cranking right now. Stacking up on every little branch, just a calm wind moderate snow with good dendrites. I'm off but will have to go up to the mountain. Skiing just too good right now. My co-worker just text me around 3" on the base area snowboard since 6am (2.5 hours). Just looks like a fog on the web cams ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think after 2-3 days straight of constant flurries and light snow, "real" snow feels different. Then again, so would the sun! We don't get much of that up here, as I've come to discover.

CoastalWx Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Better s/w forcing there so I'm not surprised. That's the Currier and Ives stuff I mentioned yesterday...although heavy! Looks good.

Expand Yeah I was just looking at that...good synoptic lift with the vortmax traversing the area overhead. Here's the 6z GFS. The best banding is actually lining up nicely with that as it noses in and then lifts through NNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Looks like rt2 on north could get some nice enhancement coming up over the next couple of hrs. That looks about right from what the mesos showed yesterday. Been fighting some dry air and subsidence here, but looks like between .25 and .5" here. Looks nice.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Decent little second burst of snow past half hour. Certainly got us over an inch here. Roads were slick, the district probably could have been justified doing a 2 hour school delay but we're tougher here than those to the South. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That's western NNE, which is fitting as their 15-16 was even more abysmal than ours. But we'll probably all do lots better than that.

klw Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 It started in W Norwich just before 6. When I left at 6:30 there was about 3/4 of an inch down and it was snowing hard. No sign of road crews anywhere. I did see a plow truck southbound on 91 between Norwich and Thetford but I did not see any sign of any treatment Northbound until much later. No pavement seen until Bradford and saw a plow just before the Wells River exit. It was fine north of there. Fortunately things were cold enough that it wasn't icy, just snow covered. Fun ride.

OceanStWx Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I will say that the trend through the rest of the day looks to be forcing weakens. Isentropic lift was actually pretty stout this morning (and sure enough we have had 1/4 +SN reports). But into the afternoon isentropic flow becomes more parallel to pressure rather than upslope. That's basically a loss of stronger WAA. You can watch the regional radar presentation become more disorganized with time as this happens too.
