dmconno Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 For those of us making the long journey up to Stowe from Boston Friday night how treacherous do you all expect 89 to be and starting when? My daughter has a practice that ends at 5:00pm which is making me nervous that we will have a white knuckle drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That leaves only a couple to post in here. Wrong time of year to cut the firewood. This time of year we clean up the dog poo which is unveiled by the melting of the snow and fight over who gets to keep the winter's roadkill as they thaw out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The last couple runs of the high res NAM are actually giving me a little freezing rain here tomorrow night and early Friday morning, which is interesting as I expected this would be just a snow vs. rain scenario. Warm nose is centered around 875 mb and is very thin. If we do dry slot a bit, then I could see it, but otherwise I think this is just a paste job here. Euro keeps me all snow and the dry slot mostly to my east. High res NAM destroys me with upslope Friday into Saturday. The Euro still had some light blue pixels over me at 18z Saturday! This could challenge the big storm I had 11/26-28 where I was around 2'. That event was an elevation wet snow on the front end and then upslope on the backside. The valleys had pretty much nothing.

backedgeapproaching Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 ALY has watches up in SVT. I know BTV does as well. Think 1500'+ looking pretty good to verify the 7"+ to meet watch criteria. Looking good at that heavily wooded plot at 2230' in SVT. URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Albany NY 348 PM EDT Wed Mar 20 2019 ...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH LATE FRIDAY NIGHT... * WHAT...Heavy, wet snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 7 inches or more possible. Winds could gust as high as 40 mph Friday night. * WHERE...In Vermont, Bennington and Western Windham Counties. In New York, Herkimer and Hamilton Counties. * WHEN...Friday and Friday night. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Travel could be very difficult.

I couldn't recall that event as it seems like ages ago, but looked at the snow table and it was 12.5" in the elevated valley here. Obviously your in a good spot for a shot at 12"+. You do well in the upslope, but this may be a classic Woodford upslope jack in SVT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame anyone unless they were kidding on enjoying a chilly rainstorm. There were definitely a few pages in the March thread about people just wanting something to happen rather than cold and boring. Now I feel that crowd wants to go back to cold and boring lol.

They don't get fringed as much by coastals like the Greens, and the Adirondacks are a big clump of mountains so different flows hammer different sections. Like SWFE can hammer the SE side with enhanced snow and southerly flow brings good snows to the southern Dacks north of the Mohawk Valley. The northern Dacks get more lake effect and upslope though. The main difference is the Green Mtn Spine does well from most wind directions as a Spine...it's not a cluster like the Dacks and Whites where different zones of those mountains are favored by different flows.

I was one of those people but I was excited for more of a wind event for this storm right on coast if it wasn't going to be a snowmaker down here. Now it just looks like a strong storm that will be getting stronger as it passes by SNE without much impact from winds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Just like the ribbing as I think it was Fella who was saying he enjoys a chilly rainy day before May 1st. But it sounds like you guys are talking about like an autumn Noreaster with windy sheets of rain on a huge curling precip shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
