mreaves Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Very windy here. I was just up at a meeting next to the KMPV ASOS, which appears to be off-line at the moment, and the wind was blowing open the lobby doors of the building we were at. When we left we drove through a very brief shower of what I assume was graupel/half melted hail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 FROPA of yore...half town lost power. Mine went out for about 2 hours this morning, just got back on. Have to say, Green Mountain power normally does a good job of getting power restored quickly, at least in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I just looked out my window here in BTV and there’s obvious snowfall crashing out along the western slopes – radar is showing it as well along the spine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind had kicked up last evening, but the final showers didn't arrive until just before 6 this morning, nearly an hour after the lights went out. Temp dropped 3° in the 15 minutes before I headed to Augusta. As of my 6:15 obs for cocorahs we'd had 0.59" yesterday/today, doubt we got more than another tenth or so. Heavy stuff clipped N. Aroostook - Madawaska cocorahs reported 2.97" and New Sweden was next at 1.15"; no one else in Maine has reported over 1". No news on whether the home front is re-powered yet. Edit: Re-checked cocorahs and saw that Westmanland, like New Sweden a central Aroostook town, reported 1.24" and a couple 1" reports from eastern Washington County. All those sites were still raining at obs times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Severe Irene-level flooding from this event. I put a bunch of stuff in the storm thread. 4+ inches in Underhill, 3.79” storm total in Stow, 4” in Morrisville, Town of Eden is isolated. RT 108 in Stowe washed out. What a rain event!

Yeah just take those heavier amounts by Alex and Tamarack, and extend that over to the heavy stuff by BTV and western VT....that gap between the two in NE VT is just radar not sampling it well.

That sucks, sorry to hear that. The few days around Halloween seem primed for floods around NNE. 2 years ago was our turn. Glad we escaped with no issue, but I never wish it on anyone. It’s been a wet month for sure, now let’s turn it white! So the first couple of stray flakes today, but not enough to even be called a trace.

#NoPoles Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 3 weeks ago I was living with heat indices of 100+, this morning I scraped frost off my windshield, wore some ski socks, and there might be accumulating snow in the near future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Had a real nice conversation with some of my wife’s family living in Winooski VT. Of course it turned into Breweries. I got to get up there. I’m sure PF and Jspin know of these places he was rattling off, but sounds like a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I’d been occasionally looking outside to see if there was any precipitation this morning, since with that flow off the lakes and temperatures around the freezing mark, it felt like we’d have our first chance at something frozen down here in the valley. And indeed at around 8:00 A.M. we got a graupel shower with a pulse of moisture pushing through the spine: As is often the case with the density of graupel, it quickly accumulated to bring the first measurable of the winter season. We’re actually past the mean dates of first frozen trace (10/20 ± 6 days) and first accumulation (10/26 ± 11 days), but this event is falling well within the 1 S.D. range of the latter, so we’re on track in that regard. The next benchmark I have in my records is the first event of ≥1”, which is (11/8 ± 16 days). There’s quite the variability with the date of that first 1” event, spanning from late October well into November, but we’re certainly in a pattern where we’ll be having some snow chances. At mass this morning my wife was talking with some friends who live up on Blush Hill and they’d already been out earlier making snow angels in their dusting. Oh those NNE snow sickos!

Yeah, absolutely. It’s funny, I’ve got that same excitement for Diane that I have for when an avid skier from the big city finally makes that decision to move out west or up here to live at a resort. Of course, the thing is, she essentially is living at a ski resort. Transitioning up from the south after the way the past several months have been down there has got to be one of the more dramatic examples though. With the elevation they’ve got there, it would be surprising if they don’t see some sort of snow this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 October Precipitation: 6.08” 2019 Precipitation: 52.47” I meant to post the October monthly precipitation a couple days ago, but I’m getting a chance to catch up on it now. October is our second wettest month here behind June, but this one was even a bit above the October average. Moving on to November, it’s typically one of our drier months, but it’s off to quite a roaring start with that event we had a couple days ago bringing almost 3 inches of liquid.

J.Spin Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I thought today was just going to be a bit cloudier version of yesterday, but to that I can give a definite “nope”. This morning I’d raked a few remaining leaves into some small piles that I was going to collect later today, but about 15 minutes ago the wind picked up to the point that it was starting to scatter them. I quick ran around and collected the piles, but of course with the wind came a bout of heavy mixed precipitation that got everything soaked pretty quickly and brought another round of transient accumulation: If we’re getting into the frozen precipitation down here, I figured the elevations had to be getting hit even harder, and indeed I checked the Bolton Valley Live Web Cam at ~2,100’ and there were flakes flying and a coating of white: With bouts like this happening we’ve definitely turned a bit of a corner in the weather here as we’ve move into November relative to the past month or two.

powderfreak Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I’m heading back north to Stowe but friends are saying it’s the first accumulation in Stowe. This was 1,300ft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
