Extremely high winds and no loft to the snow. Definitely would’ve stacked a bit without so much turbulence. We’ll see what today brings. Yeah, here too. Couple inches blown all over. Very fine snow right now that doesn’t look promising..but we’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll see like you said, ha. The differences between GFS and EURO at 18z and 00z last night were large. Euro schooled most models on this one.

PhineasC Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I remember looking at the 18z Euro yesterday evening and noticed it was very paltry, seemed like a bust could be on the table because some of the amounts forecasted for the Greens were getting really up there.

It was dry this fall so the moisture was not deep but then we got the Grinch storm but don't know how much moisture got down deep before freeze up. Gosh probably 10+ years ago, my kids and I were on our way to MRG during late March and I decided to try the Warren Mountain Road which takes you from Roxbury to Warren and is substantially unpaved...big mistake. I got about half way up and had to go back in reverse, lucky we didn't get stuck up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah all the other models were pretty strong. Euro just never bought into it. We’ll see. Doesn’t take much to fart another 4-5” this evening. Its the ratios and the wind. We can make 5-6” from like 0.15-0.20”... but the strong winds have just hammered it on the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely high winds and no loft to the snow. Definitely would’ve stacked a bit without so much turbulence. We’ll see what today brings. We picked up a couple tenths of an inch of accumulation last night at our site, which was certainly in line with the small flakes I’d seen falling. I figured we were just a bit too far east for the moisture the radar was showing last night, and I’d see more accumulation this morning on my drive through the western slopes to BTV, but at least in the valleys, there wasn’t anything more notable than what we picked up.

At some point he'll release his gas. Probably when no one expects it. Eternal optimists here in Vermont. It's just so cold and blustery out there. Some of the woods are skiing nicely with the fresh wind drifts but I'm over this cold at this point in the season to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too cold...I'm usually a "just add more layers" skier, but its not worth bundling the kids up and going out for an hour with these wind chills of about -20 on the hill. The wind just goes right through you today. Tmrw looks like standard cold and breezy, which I can deal with. It just never had that snowy look today; maybe we'll be surprised tonight. One of the only times I've seen an under-performer up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Definitely a weird day for upslope. All day it looked like the snow would start at any minute but then it just fizzles and the clouds lighten up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t my first time skiing with temps in the single digits and teens, but the winds made it especially brutal, and I felt it even with my layers and gloves and jacket. I wouldn’t mind if it’s 15 degrees warmer than what it was today. Hoping next weekend has another snow opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the worst type of cold... wind and evaporating snow. It’s a damp cold with the moisture but also not enough moisture to produce meaningful snow. Arctic sand snow type conditions. The wind was obscene here today with gusts to 50mph at times even at 1500ft when they’d roll out of the Notch and then funnel into the base area...especially late in the day. Could see plumes of blowing snow off the ski trails go like several hundred feet in the air at times and move across the forested hillsides. Just a lot of turbulence and chaos in the flow today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skivt2 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Funny I did not think it was that cold today either. But I skied 2-4. And I am at Pico. Maybe just completely different here. There is some nice snow in the low angle woods if you are careful of anything that looks crunchy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#NoPoles Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 My days off are Tues and weds, temps are looking good for some skiing. At this point in the season, I echo the sentiments of it not needing to be below zero or in the single digits anymore. Still not ready to say good bye to the snow. Im with Phin and would really like to enjoy one good synoptic event. But seriously, it can be a lovely winter day at 30 degrees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, even the 6z models had it snowing steadily right now but nothing but a few wind whipped flurries moving through. 6z NAM sim rad product had a nice upslope pulse this evening from 4-9pm that didn’t happen, lol. Pretty substantial short term busts for GFS/NAM on this one. I won’t lie, I’m looking forward to the warm up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
