alex Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Light snow here but just a dusting, nothing significant. Might be time to whip out the snow gun that I got last year for the Sam Adams commercial that was being shot at my house. The kids want a snow mound to play in, and getting the snow gun out is a sure guarantee that there will be plenty of natural snow and my electricity bill will be a complete waste. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Snowing enough to cover the ground. Between .25”and .50” maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't speak for NVT, but around here rentals and long term leases are scarce and most that are available are pricey. But since it seems your young and no attachments(kids, etc) maybe able find a smaller place--studio/1bed, but again not sure about BTV market, but assume stuff is high demand. Thanks, I looked into it in September and everything seemed pricey or geared towards UVM students. I'd have to keep looking, I have a potential job opportunity in Saratoga Springs, which at least would get me most of the way to NNE. Only tied down by my gf, whose only reason to stay in PA is her terminally ill mother. 1 hour ago, bwt3650 said: Jay was doing long term 2br condo rentals a month ago. It’s going to be a ghost town with the border closed, so might be worth checking out . Thanks, having stayed at a Jay ski in ski out condo as a child, I assume they are expensive since they are so nice. I normally stay at Grampa grunts in Montgomery for 45/night when I go to Jay, obviously not a long-term solution. I'll look into the condos though. Sidenote, Mike Hayes Global head of global marketing at Ben and Jerry's has my dream job, he skis Mansfield all the time. PF might know him, anyways I wish I could work for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jculligan Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Very gusty night here. My anemometer is in a very sheltered spot and almost never gets decent gusts, but it managed to register a gust to 42 mph around 7pm this evening. No snow here on the downslope side of the ridge, but winter is roaring back in this evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jculligan Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Surprised to wake up to a dusting of snow this morning with mood flakes in the air. While we don't get the "real" upslope snows in my location, the surprise dustings are nice to wake up to for someone used to the eastern Massachusetts climate. Last night's wind launched one of my heavy cedar chairs about 20 feet off the front porch, which was perhaps the bigger surprise to wake up to. It got pretty rough up here around 7-8pm last night! 27F and calm with flakes flying right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwt3650 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 About 3.5” since last night plus around an inch from yesterday morning. Still a steady light snow in the air this morning for a real winter feel. The atmosphere is really wringing out every last drop here. It’s so light, so not enough to hit the slopes, but man is it tempting. *ruler courtesy of theft in the middle of my eight year olds virtual school day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Cutter for early next week? How far into the season can we keep NNE bare? I'm usually building a snowcover up by now.

alex Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 0.4" today; currently light snow with broken clouds. And a snow gun cranking. Of course it will take me a week or so of continuous snow making to do what my kids want me to do lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The overnight Euro showed another nasty cutter for the storm early next week, but I’m hoping it shifts east a little. GYX seems to think it will ride up the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In another couple of weeks even with cutters you will start as snow then go to rain and back to snow or squalls. One way or the other you will not have bare ground.

I'm usually building a snowcover up by now. Maybe Phin moving up here has started climate change? Poor Phin, still getting stuck with that stigma. With a very typical (and reasonably snowy) November thus far, and only about a week to go in the month, I’d say any concerns are unfounded. Average snow depth for this date at our site is 2.3”, with a median of 1.5”, so this morning’s 3.0” was certainly “typical”. But, we’re still a week ahead of the average start date for the permanent winter snowpack here. I think people are coming in a bit misled from the past couple of seasons with regard to when the building of the winter snowpack actually starts around here. Yes, we’re getting close to the average date, but starting now would still be in the top 1/3 of seasons. Places with an average snowpack start date this early are probably above 2,000’. For reference, the average snowpack start date on Mansfield at 3,700’ is November 16th. We’re certainly past that point, but 3,700’ is way up there in elevation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Snow depth data on 11/24 for Peru VT COOP at 1700ft that is really good retention spot( 80 years of data) Lot of 0.0 depth data looking at it year by year. 38% chance of 1" on snow OTG on 11/24. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually starts over the next week or two. You’re right, as I noted in my response above, this is definitely on the early side for the snowpack to start in the typical elevations where people live. The average snowpack start date here at our site is December 2nd, and we’re probably on the early side relative to many valley locations due to early upslope snows helping to get at least some snow down. As noted, we are above 50% (64.3%) for snow on the ground at Thanksgiving, but not all of that Thanksgiving snow necessarily stuck around to start the winter snowpack. Here are the winter snowpack start dates and stats for my period of record at this site: 20-Dec-2006 20-Nov-2007 18-Nov-2008 06-Dec-2009 05-Dec-2010 23-Dec-2011 16-Dec-2012 22-Nov-2013 27-Nov-2014 27-Dec-2015 03-Dec-2016 10-Dec-2017 10-Nov-2018 08-Nov-2019 Mean: Dec 2 Median: Dec 4 S.D. 16 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 And it looks to me, that once the early week rain event (seems like a high chance of this happening whether it moves over head or cuts) moves out of the way....much better conditions for getting some snow and perhaps the start of pack season. Would coincide with what others have said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we can squeeze out an inch or so in the slopfests over the next week, I will end up with 12-13 inches so far on the season which is basically right on schedule with the average CoCoRaHS data. It needs to start rapidly ramping up in December to stay on track, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was pretty terrible....there were a few fleeting moments of snow...esp for SNE (NNE was screwed even worse) in February. But yeah, more or less garbage pattern all winter. My guess is you'll start "permanent" pack season there behind the rainstorm that models have for Dec 1. Decent chance you get upslope behind it with that ULL takings its sweet time to move out, and then hopefully we start adding some synoptic stuff after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No this is much better than 2015-16. The reality is many of us are above normal snow to date, looks like Randolph is too based on the short record period though. In 2015-16 my largest storm at home was like 4”, ha. This isn’t even close IMO. This morning at 1500ft would’ve been a major storm for 2015-16.

I figured you would’ve picked up an inch or two last night, guess it never made it over there. Had about 3-4” at Stowe at 1,500ft and they had to plow...surprisingly dense, like a lot of graupel. Even white at 750ft but we only got an inch. We’ve definitely had more frequent coverings and plowable snow over here so that may be skewing my thoughts on NNE. I think 1,500ft has plowed 4 times now. If it won’t snow that’s not a bad view on the whole lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
