Yeah, it would be great to get a big synoptic event with a high water content to put down a solid base on the natural trails, but it seems like up here, with every threat comes the potential for that backside cold shot bringing the up-slope. I forgot which one of you reminded me, the northern greens don't move, so when that upper level pattern can be forecast several days out, we can have more confidence in getting some decent snows, rather than living and dying with each model run. I may be different that some folks who just love the big event that you track for days with the highs and lows of 1 am model runs, but I'll take the consistent powder days all winter long over the blockbuster. Hopefully, that gfs run that shows a few days of up-slope magic and below freezing highs gets some terrain open next week. We saw some on and off mixed precip yesterday, but nothing but grass outside right now. Expand Seems like the greens always get good right-side up snowfalls due to this. The synoptic event brings the denser low-ratio snow, or rain, with warmer temps and then the storm will transition to the low-density stuff as the upslope kicks in. I've noticed with a base, a 6 inch snowfall can ski a lot deeper just due to the gentle shift between dense and fluffy snow. Even on events that begin with rain, this seems to occur more often than not. Otherwise you get a rain crust, which sucks, but likely helps hold the pack for longer.

jculligan Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Just drove from North Conway to my place in Jackson. It's still 35F down in the valley, but we've spiked to 45F and it's getting gusty. Could be in for a wild evening up here. 0.44" in the bucket so far.

wxeyeNH Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 43F Moderate rain. .50". Winds SE 14 gusting to 25mph. That roar sound is just starting in the woods. If the wind can mix down I should have some nice gusts later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Wunderground doing a nice job of showing the classic Bennington country downslope zone on the estimated precip. Just checked my gauge and its .65" So peeking at PWS precip amounts, looks like most eastern slopes spots are .70-.95" then slides down to .65" at my place on the immediate western slopes, the fades off to .25-.50" a heading west a few miles from the spine. Definitely been gusty, but considering how many high wind events there are here, pretty meh overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models didn't have anywhere near this amount of rain here. This was just the 12z EURO showing about 0.60" here through 11pm/4z. We will at least double that. The 12z GFS was even worse.... like 0.30-0.40" through 11pm. The local PWS are at 0.30/hr right now lol. Huge fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The entire east slope of the Greens is solidly 1.00-1.75" so far based on PWS amounts up and down RT 100... Sugarbush area up through Waterbury and into Stowe. I mean that's a pretty massive QPF bust going on it seems. Yard is like a swamp. Not really stoked on vastly over-performing rain right now.
