Lake just skimmed over a few nights ago but days have been above freezing with nights in the upper 20's. This really puts first responders at risk. New snow will cover this thin ice tonight making things very dangerous all week without any arctic blast to follow. Drone video over Newfound that I took Sat PM I know what Darwin would say...

J.Spin Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I’ve got the updated advisory and projected accumulation maps from the BTV NWS below – they indicated that the latest guidance has been a bit warmer, with more mixed precipitation and slightly less snow, so it looks like they adjusted the maps accordingly.

I kept having these weird dreams and I was uncomfortable even when I was sleeping. I finally started to sleep decently at 4am but my alarm goes off at 7am. Been keeping up with the advil.

Angus Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 the sign that the road is closed in the winter is pretty obvious if my memory serves me right. This ski trip will be legend in that family forever. Lucky they are all fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it’s been treated I don’t think it should be too bad in this area – precipitation isn’t all that heavy right now (some sleet with occasional flakes) and temperatures aren’t overly cold.

Just got back to the office. 89 was crap, getting slushy. The car thermo read 31° and was down to 27° on the way back. It was ok if you drove reasonably and shockingly, everyone seemed to be doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 This has turned into a high end SE/E flow wind event here, honestly one of the strongest I've seen. Has to be some gusts to 60mph(maybe higher ) along the immediate western slopes. I saw 3 healthy looking snapped pine trees on one road. One of them snapped as I was driving by within 10-15 feet of my car, pretty scary stuff, and landed in someones yard. East side of town is littered with debris. This was about half a mile from where the tree missed my car. This little cabin got lucky, missed this 60 ft pine falling on the house by about 5-10 ft. No ice damage here. All wind. Its so localized too that even the western side of town when I was over there today was gusting to like 15mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PivotPoint Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Any update on Stowe or Jay by chance would be greatly appreciated. Have they been mostly snow or are the getting the mix bag? Was thinking of making the hike up from VA but wanted to check with the local knowledge first. Thinking the upslope looks palatable perhaps through Thursday. Thanks guys... congrats on the snow (or frozen, at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Interesting day. At Lincoln peak there was a nasty ice crust the top 250’ from the summit. Nothing below that. All sand otherwise which was dense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borderwx Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Intermittent sink day up here Started with a generous shellac of freezing rain, then spent most of the day alternating from pellets, snow, rain, freezing rain. A bit over 2” here at 1080’, like shoveling beach sand Fingers crossed for tomorrow, a few inches of fluff on this will ski well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Event totals: 3.6” Snow/0.75” L.E. There was another period of light freezing rain around here in the midafternoon period, and then the precipitation changed back to sleet. More recently we’re starting to get some snow in the mix as well, and the forecast indicates that precipitation is supposed to change fully back over to snow this evening. Details from the 6:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 0.4 inches New Liquid: 0.10 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 4.0 Snow Density: 25.0% H2O Temperature: 28.9 F Sky: Light Snow/Sleet Snow at the stake: 3.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
