Fear and loathing April, 2020 discussion, obs, and the occasional derailment

RN, 41.7°F, 0.33" so far.

Just some wet flurries here so far.  

We are blocked on the east side with all the NW to NE veering in the wind flow with height, we are going to be shadowed here in town.  

Mountain is behind a wall of white 5 miles away but with NNE flow aloft under the NW upslope low level flow, that precip isn’t propagating east into town.

Nice negative NAO

Always happens too late

Windy here and 55F. Let's knock down some tree's.

There's no way Mt Snow has gotten 3" today?  The radar looked like it just barely started there.

Even the places in Maine with the heaviest precip have only had 0.35" or so QPF so far.

EURO qpf through 7pm... I'd find it hard to believe Mt Snow has picked up 0.30"+ water equiv for 3" of snow so far.

Been +RN here for a couple hrs or so now after a mod rain earlier, 0.54" so far.

Alex says 2" of snow there abnd snowing at 5pm

Rain snow mix here 35.5

[klw]

After spitting rain for the last few hours, it is trying to switch back over to snow as it picks up.  I imagine it is all snow a bit higher up in elevation

Yeah but that snow has been there since the system the other day.  That’s not from today.

Whats on the roof of that birdhouse or barn is from today.

Very true, just go back 10 hours on the above video to see.  It only really started whitening the roof about an hour and a half ago.

[Sugarloaf1989]

Snowing art the summit of Stratton as well, unless it's from last season.

I don’t know why you are defensive?  I merely looked at the cam and thought if it snowed 3” there’d be 3” on the roof of that barn too.

I was just clearing up that it didn’t snow that much.  Didn’t mean to offend ya.

I saw the accumulating snow at Bolton Valley, MRG and Stratton and put 2+2 together. I thought the Mount Snow stake was accurate. Didn't realize they had snow earlier than today on the stake. I guess the sun angle melted the snow on the roof. 

My bad.

Here's some good snow on on the RT 17 cam over App Gap right next to Mad River Glen ski area.

[MarkO]

Been spitting a mix of drizzle, snow and sleet past couple hours, but I get shadowed by the Sandwich mountain range. 35.4/30

[powderfreak]

Snowy up by Jay Peak too.
