J.Spin Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 As suggested, the Winter Storm Watches from the BTV NWS have been converted over to Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories. Updated maps are below: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 06z NAM and HRRR both look good for snow here but GYX still really hammering the plain rain angle. They are talking about a changeover for western zones now at least. They really love flood talk in that WFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 2-M still is too warm down under 1,500-1,000ft for significant accumulations. But from 1,500ft and up hanging out at the ski area all day starting at 5am tomorrow, should be a fun event to watch unfold. My call was 3-6" wet snow at most elevations, spot 7-8" possible summits. We'll see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely lean conservative and in a year like this it has worked out very well, lol. Time to make hay is tomorrow morning. Good H7 fronto along a good thermal gradient and the meso-models show some prolonged convergence at H7 along that thermal boundary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 The 12z Euro was not exactly inspiring for this event. Clown maps give me the same amount of snow as the Northern Greens (not much). On the other hand, the latest HerpDerps is a shellacking, rain flips to heavy snow. Can it score the coup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Farmers have been plowing some of their fields near the Sandy River, first I've seen it this early. Even in 2012 they didn't plow in March. Thin pack and little rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwt3650 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Latest nam run is garbage too...wow at the back and forth with these runs..it delays the change-over...so only hope is elevation does it’s thing a little sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest NAMs also seem weaker and have spottier precip along with a dryslot it looks like. High bust potential with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like 3-6” for the ski areas, there’s a reason I went that route. 3” is a pretty low floor for high elevation given that cyclonic flow. The chances of a high bust like 8-12” are definitely diminishing. My guess is the ski areas report a 3-6” event with still a chance at some 7-8” amounts at the summits by Friday morning with the continued upslope flow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwt3650 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Possible upslope enhancement delivers more inches after the fact and the storm itself delivers more L.E. Frozen. It’s not going to take much for a really decent ski weekend. It’s beat up here, but there’s still some natural terrain and woods holding on.

PhineasC Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Our last day out there today. We are headed south for April. BW may be able to hang on for the weekend, but they are done if the 1-2 inches of rain with high dews pans out tomorrow. Bare spots opening up on trails, and they tend to shut trails down earlier than the Cannons of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we definitely crossed paths! Shame the Gondola shut down. We were finally going to have lunch at the Rosebrook Lodge after a whole season of skiing. It kinda sucks when they shut down the Gondola and stop running the Zephyr. Cuts off like half the mountain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in rough shape right now too. They were better earlier in the season. We skied them today but they were more annoying than fun given the conditions. If you haven't tried Zealand off the gondola, give it a try (next season, probably). It is a diamond but they groom it really well, and it is not that steep. Basically the part right off the lodge you can see is the most steep. It's a neat run with great views. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we did, there wasn't that many people out there and we all were riding Bethlem. I saw a few family groups. I was skiing by myself 2/3 of the time, beginning 1hr or so my friend was with me. I took a few pics for a family at the top of Bethlehem, they wanted to get Mt Washington but couldn't do it as a selfie, so I helped them out. Would be funny if it was your family!
