alex Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 This should win me weenie of the year. Covering the trees I see from my dining room to make them more festive. It's this or listen to the SNE weenies gloat about their storm and they're just intolerable lol. Happy for them though. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Was pushing the camera lens again this morning.... but above the inversion the visibility was insane. Could see from Maine to Quebec and New Hampshire from Mt Mansfield. I had never in 15 years noticed the trails on Cannon Mountain being visible from Stowe but could make out the top trails with the naked eye. The photo is a bit "noisy" but you can see the trails on Cannon with Lafayette behind it. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 We have made it up to 10°. The forecast high is 18°, that may be a tall order to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Took the kids for a quick swim up at Stratton. Pool around 80F, snowmaking in overdrive this week with hopefully some natural help tonight. So close to the fringe here, could be arctic sand, could be on the edge of deform too.

As someone that has always had the crazy fetish for "how far can you see" I really liked this post. On the clearest of days when I fly my drone over my house I can see Mt Washington to the north, Killington to the west and Mt Monadock to the south. When I took one of my edutrips to the summit of Mt Washington and spent the night it was also interesting to see the reflection of the lights of Boston to the south and Montreal to the northwest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Picked up about 2.5" here in MD. Sleet and ZR now. It's nasty. Headed back up Sunday for an extended stay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 @powderfreak that is a crazy good photo. I couldn't see 10 feet in front of me up on the far right side of franconia ridge on Sunday! Not only do you see the top of Cannon but that's mittersill in the foreground. I assume the wide slope in the very front, down low is the training slope over at mittersill. You can even spy the observation platform/communication tower on top of Cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that's where Mittersill was... or at least never thought about it, figured it was all Cannon. Good info. I love trying to push the boundaries of a camera and seeing how far you can see. The winter arctic air views from the summits in lower angle light can go forever. Can see 80-100 miles away easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jculligan Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Dewpoint has dropped 11 degrees since sunset this evening. Currently 15/-6. I can't imagine that bodes well for the incoming event. Hoping we can at least scrape a couple inches out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 3.5" here, which is better than I expected. Looks like some good stuff down in SVT. May need to head south to ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Event totals: 1.9” Snow/0.22” L.E. I don’t know exactly what time the snow began here at our location, but the last time I’d looked outside before heading off to bed was around midnight, so it was some point after that. The snow during this morning’s observations was falling quite steadily, and both the snow falling and the snow stacks on the boards had that synoptic look. Measuring the accumulation was very easy due to the extremely flat and even stack made of relatively small crystals. There was a lot of moisture in just the couple inches of accumulation, and indeed there’s a really good shot of liquid equivalent in there with snow density of 11-12% H2O. Details from the 6:00 A.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 1.9 inches New Liquid: 0.22 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 8.6 Snow Density: 11.6% H2O Temperature: 15.8 F Sky: Snow (1 to 4 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 2.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borderwx Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 not a flake. but running in 14F v -6F was noticeably more enjoyable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jculligan Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 1.8" down so far with a temp of 11F. Happy to see we've overcome the dry air. Unbelievable numbers coming out of New York state - 40" in Endicott which is where I lived from 2007-2009 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot21 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 11 degrees outside, just measured 4 inches. Coming down at an ok rate, small flakes though. Picture out back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jculligan Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 It appears that the mid-level banding set up farther north than where even the northernmost model (RGEM/Canadian GEM) had it. These things are so tough to pin down. Yesterday I was thinking the jackpot would be along an axis from AQW-EEN-CON-SFM but radar trends would suggest it'll be more like a VSF-LCI-GYX axis. We'll see how things pivot over the course of the morning. Southern Lakes region of NH is getting crushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because my expectations were so low, I'm pretty happy with 4"-5" we've received here. If it had been modeled to crush us and then we only got 4" or 5", the story would be different.

alex Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Congrats Gene! Nice that everyone is getting something out of this.

wxeyeNH Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Thanks Alex, looks like the band setup just south of me a barely north of Brian. I just look at snowstake in the yard. If I had cleared there would have been more. Up to 19" +S Vis up to 1/4". Only 1.5" past hour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
