powderfreak Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Lol...it's a mess out there. Above 1,200ft is another world right now. Just cranking. But even accums on the road down at 750ft, almost a bunch of translucent slush around the lowest elevations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 33.8/27F temps continue to fall. Moderate snow. 1/2" in past 30 minutes since it switched to all snow. Just took a ride. Up at the top of my hill 1500 feet perhaps 2" with lots of sagging pines. Down at the bottom of my hill at Newfound Lake level 587 feet (I think) its a 50/50 rain/snow mix no accumulation Looks like backedge getting closer.

alex Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 It's interesting that the temperature has been pretty constant but the dp has come up a couple of degrees making the snow much wetter. I don't have much expectations for this part of the storm, I think if we get anything decent it's on the back side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 This was the backyard about 1.5 hours ago when I measured 0.5"... coming down steadily but we are about at the bottom of the snow level. Very soggy snow. It's a nice surprise as I really didn't think this one had a chance below 1,500ft, a nice tick cooler in the end and this is a helluva lot better than another rain storm.

J.Spin Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Event totals: 0.3” Snow/0.47” L.E. At some point between 5:00 P.M. and 8:00 P.M. the precipitation was fully over to snow, but accumulations still took a while to take hold with air temperatures in the mid to upper 30s F here at 500’. I made an analysis of this first part of the storm now that snow is accumulating more easily, and the liquid from the snow clogging the upper portion of the rain gauge was right in line with the liquid from the snow on the snowboard. The accumulated snow thus far is not surprisingly quite sloppy and saturated with water. Details from the 9:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 0.3 inches New Liquid: 0.16 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 1.9 Snow Density: 53.3% H2O Temperature: 34.3 F Sky: Light/Moderate Snow Snow at the stake: Trace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 9 minutes ago, dendrite said: 36.9F and pouring sleet. Probably 75/25 sleet/rain. Brian, glad you're getting some frozen. Precip has become very light and back to a mix here 33.6F which is my low. Funny how people sometimes say. "oh the ground is too warm, nothing should stick". Well, my 3/4" inch all came down at 34-36F. Dirt road is covered too. Was up around 40F today and has not been below freezing much at night. So to me its all a fallacy that snow can't stick with warm ground, it sure can and doesn't have to pound at 1/8 mile and heavy snow either.

I can see the mid level warming crawling its way north on KGYX. It's struggling through the Whites, but making quicker progress up the coast.

wxmanmitch Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 33.5° F and light drizzle. Drip, drip, drip... Whatever's left of my 2.5" will likely be a small glacier by tomorrow AM. Not a bad appetizer before what will hopefully be an all you can eat buffet this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 2.0" here and the trees are filthy with snow/slush, so I'll probably get fairly wet when I go chase the critters in a few minutes, even though it's only light dz now. LE of 0.35" is a guess, as when I took the snow sample at 7 there had been perhaps 0.45" (of storm total 0.84") RA atop the white. Better than all rain.

J.Spin Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The precipitation here at observations time this morning was just a mix of mist/drizzle/light rain, but about 15 minutes ago we had some ticks of sleet, and then snow began to appear. It looks like we’re getting into the backside portion of the event now with the anticipated LES/upslope snow, which is right in line with the BTV NWS forecast discussion. They suggest the potential for an additional 2-4” in the Mansfield to Jay Peak region: Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Burlington VT 627 AM EST Sat Nov 10 2018 .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... As of 627 AM EST Saturday...Forecast continues to play out well with primary low pressure tracking northeast into southern Quebec early this morning while a secondary low tracks over Cape Cod. Through mid-morning rain and drizzle will transition to orographic and lake effect snow showers as the primary low drags a surface cold front through the region. As far as snow accumulations go, they`ll be localized to the western Adirondacks and portions of the northern Greens where upslope conditions are favored, but overall moisture thins through time so only expecting additional accumulations of a dusting to 2 inches below 2000 feet, with the summits of the northern Greens from Mansfield to Jay Peak perhaps picking up an additional 2-4". Based on the fropa timing, temps won`t budge too much today, peaking mid-day in the mid 30s to around 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 2” of slop in Shelburne, 4-6” on the mountain with light rain right now. Was hoping for a bit more but hey it’s whitened everything up and it looks beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 Nice to see a snow covered landscape this AM at least on the hills in the NW part of NH Lakes Region. Few inches on the hills above 1500 feet with snow covered trees. About 3/4" here at 1100 feet. Nothing down a Newfound Lake level 587 feet.

MarkO Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Similar situation here Gene. Could only drive up to about 1600' before the road was impassable (2 cars off road) with about 4" of slop, down to just remnants at around 1000'. Nice to see it fall mainly as snow, but only ended up with about an inch or so last night at 1100, it's pretty much gone now. 36.8/36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Since Bolton Valley doesn’t have its webcam in operation yet, and they’re not making immediate snow reports, I didn’t have a sense for how much snow they’d gotten out of this storm. With the way this storm seemed to favor the eastern slopes around here, I was wondering about what the western slopes accumulated, so I quickly popped up to the mountain to assess the potential for turns. Any snow accumulations disappeared as I dropped down into Bolton Flats, and at the Base of the Bolton Valley Access Road (340’) there was no accumulation, and there weren’t any signs of white until I hit 1,000’. So I’d say that indeed, accumulating snow levels are definitely lower on the eastern slopes – snow at 1,000’ was about equivalent to 500’ here along the spine. The snow depths did eventually did go up dramatically with elevation however. Here’s the elevation profile I found for depths of new snow: 340’: 0” 1,000’: Trace 1,200’: 1” 1,500’: 3-4” 2,000’: 6-8” That’s as high as I went, but indeed the snow depths increased rapidly above 1,500’. It was pounding huge flakes of snow up there as well, so they’re certainly picking up more. Hopefully I’ll head up for a ski tour, and if I do I’ll report from higher up as well.

alex Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I was just at a meeting with the head of the ski resort here - over a foot at the top! Snow makers starting up this afternoon. Meanwhile, very pretty snowgloby morning but still wet in the valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
