TROWAL_zpsjns5ifdk.png

Here's a good visualization of the TROWAL Mitch was talking about.

Now the TROWAL exists at many levels (it's a trough of warm air aloft after all), sloped on either side, but a good proxy is usually theta-e on the 700 mb surface. You can see the warmer theta-e temps curling cyclonically around the low (warm conveyor should peel off to the east remember). Heavy precip occurs on the west side of this axis, so I overlaid the regional radar to highlight that is in fact occurring.

Wow.  Sugarbush cleared their snow cam at 930am and have 5" by 11:30am. 

5"/2hrs at Sugarbush.  11" total.

I’ll be in line at superbravo by 7:55. Hope the winds aren’t too horrible:ski:

 

Thought I saw some flakes mixing in Copley but could have been a mirage.

I think there's a warm seclusion ...maybe aloft?  I dunno - but it seems there whiter rain report around me

Sitting under Chris's TROWAL he just posted about. 3/22 is a good time for a screwgie like this. No f's given. We'll probably slush puppy later when it all slides eastward.

Welcome and cool someone from Harrison is here. Surprised it's rn in Bridgton.

Crap lift and marginal surface temps are probably doing it. It doesn't appear to be warm air aloft that's the problem.

And the snow totals are probably an over-correction on our part. Maybe needed a more uniform 1-2" in there for this morning's stuff.
