BTV with a short fuse Winter Weather Advisory this evening...

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 857 PM EDT Monday...Ended up issuing a small winter
weather advisory for areas where the snow just won`t seem to let
up across parts of Northern Vermont. As base of trough drops
into our area, snowfall has become enhanced. Snowfall totals
will range from 3 to 6 inches with localized higher amounts.
Previous discussion follows.

Event totals: 4.2” Snow/0.31” L.E.

 

From what I’ve seen, the current upslope snow is part of the back side of Winter Storm Taylor, so I’m still rolling totals into that system.

 

Details from the 6:00 A.M. Waterbury observations:

New Snow: 2.7 inches

New Liquid: 0.14 inches

Snow/Water Ratio: 19.3

Snow Density: 5.2% H2O

Temperature: 28.0 F

Sky:  Flurries

Snow at the stake: 31.5 inches

This morning was my best morning on the hill.  Place was empty ghost town for 8" overnight.  Love these upslope events that don't bring the crowds... no named Noreaster, no media hype with TWC posting snow maps...just lots of pow for those that sort-of pay attention.

It was curiously empty up here too PF

Seemed everyone new each other in the line up for first chairs. Seasons are changing as the topic of the morning revolved around boiling :)

Thanks, that’s what I figured. Pretty sweet pack there.

Yup.  The snowpack around here is pretty solid.  Skiing is such that literally everything on the ground is buried, so it makes ripping pow in the glades pretty easy when all the brush and deadfall is covered up.

With nearly 5 feet on the ground at 1,500ft and nearly 10 feet at 3,700ft...you are skiing quite a bit off the ground in the woods.

Some shots from today...

What's you season total? John up in Pittsburg is at 195". Awesome winter up there
Damn, that's like nearly 3x what we got. I know they're farther nw and that area usually does well, but it's not Stowe or some other mountain. The gradient this year north to south was very sharp. Just north of here only about 20mi by road, bridgton seemed to define the gradient where they did well and obviously points north of there.

Event totals: 4.6” Snow/0.31” L.E.

 

I measured an additional 0.4” of snow on the boards this morning before I headed off to Stowe, but it was ultra-fluffy and had sublimated by the time I got home this evening.  It looks like everything has pulled away now, so the totals above should be the final numbers from Winter Storm Taylor.

 

Details from the 6:00 P.M. Waterbury observations:

New Snow: 0.4 inches

New Liquid: Trace

Temperature: 26.4 F

Sky:  Partly Cloudy

Snow at the stake: 29.0 inches

Just came back from Williston, you can hardly tell it snowed last night and this morning. The sun today vaporized anything that didn’t fall on a snowy surface.

They upslope pretty well. Not quite the N Greens but plenty of surprise 5-10" events, but the gradient has been sharp regardless

5”? For us, winds really worked it around.

It was a top 5 for the season. 

I'm still thinking about this... it was really good.  The dense snow/mixed precip (even if just a couple inches) prior was the catalyst for some great powder today.  No slick surface underneath the fluff...it was blower powder but there was that dense layer above the base snow.  All in all it was very charge-able snow.  You could be more aggressive while skiing.
