Mansfield looking towards Jay Peak with the cliffs of Smugglers Notch in the foreground. Expand Beautiful mountains. Everyone once in a while, I'll get a good look at the west side of Sugarbush/Mt. Ellen, similar to how you're seeing Jay Peak. It's a magical look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a huge range up RT 100 right now...from like 7" in Stowe to 20" in Westfield about 45 minutes north on 100. Eden is like halfway there.

powderfreak Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Actually was 2.7" at home once I actually measured it. Eyeball was pretty close. After all the upslope this synoptic snow is definitely the fluffiest we've seen in the last week. Backyard stake at 10" now...first double digits in a long time, possibly first of the year I'll have to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand You guys got a lot more of the sleety events and that heavy wet snowstorm where tamarack had two feet with 2" liquid. Its like every season we figure this out. JSpin is right on the line...there's grass showing like a couple miles away, while I've got 8-10" but my walk-on layer is about 3-4" thick.
