MarkO Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 It's white above about 2500'. I expected more, but it moved much quicker than I thought. Killington pounding upper mountain. I hope they can pull it off for the FIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The race was always between the cold air and the drier air moving in. We had precipitation linger a little while after that main shield cut off, but it was indeed quite dry on the back side – there just wasn’t much of a hookup with additional moisture as that dry air moved in. Down here at our elevation I could see that we got into the snow, but there was never any accumulation that I could detect. For accumulations in the higher elevations around here I’m seeing ~4” on the Sugarbush 3,900’ webcam, ~2 on the Sugarbush 3,125’ webcam, and at the Bolton Valley 2,100’ webcam it looks like accumulations in the 1-2” range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get any kind of flexibility on that measurement this week, I think they are fine for thanksgiving; but they certainly went down to the wire this year.

There will be some elevation dependent WAA snow/rain ahead of the upper level low.... a dusting to maybe 1-2" with a brief period of snow at 1-1.5kft+. Then the backside WNW cyclonic flow with CAA/cold air advection... some spots (re: ski areas) could see 3-6" IMO on the return flow. That looks like the next opportunity – with a lot more potential on the back side vs. this last one. If indeed this current pattern holds for a couple of weeks as I saw mentioned on TWC the other day, you can see how a number of similar events could roll through by the end of the month. Even if you just continue to get 4-6” here, 4-6” there, with a couple systems having a bit more punch, it could bring accumulations in the Northern Greens in the realm of bwt’s comment about that GFS snow map.

We came in with ~2" at the Lookout snow cam... similar elevation to the Sugarbush 2". Looking at photos from others it seemed a bit deeper on the Gondola side of the hill, maybe 3-4". But 2" will be the number into the seasonal snow tally, with 9" so far in November. https://player.timecam.tv/express/index.html?C=D786BEJG4F5A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 0.42” of liquid with this first system, but I’m seeing higher amounts the farther wester toward the western slopes you go. How much L.E. for the mountain thus far? I’m assuming one had to go up to roughly ridgeline elevation to have it all/nearly all fall as snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updates on the running accumulation at your snow plot are great – what’s the elevation there again (I know it’s somewhere in the 3,000’ range)? It certainly looks like there will be chances for additions to the November total going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12z EURO continued with a strong orographic signal for the 24-hour period from 15z Mon until 15z Tues. Something is going to happen in that time frame, just trying to figure out how robust. Deep layer NW flow from the surface up through 700mb and beyond during that period. The trajectory is pretty much perfect for the N.Greens.

wxeyeNH Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 We took a ride to find snow. I knew we would be right around the SE portion of the snow as the system passed. I flip to some mangled flakes at the very end last evening. This morning I could see snow around the 1750 foot level of Ragged and Cardigan.

bwt3650 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Decent amount of qpf and blocked flow, though ratios don’t look spectacular. Still, should be first legit upslope of the season if I’m interpreting this right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 BTV AFD snippet: As these westerly winds increase, upslope snow will ramp up with favorable snow growth over the mountains. Froude numbers will generally be in the 0.8 to 1 range supporting slow moving flow and heavy upslope snow along the spine of the mountains. These areas may see storm totals in the range of six to nine inches of snowfall through Tuesday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 3k and GFS drop about half an inch of liquid here over the next two days, that's pretty healthy for upslope around here. Temps are not great so not expecting too much accumulation here, but it should be snowy at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think radar is more bark than bite with this one. 1-2" possible above 1,500ft... coating to 1" below IMO. A widespread 0.07-0.20" QPF type event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 White rain here. Loud, sounds frozen. Flood lights show fast moving frozen cores falling. Leads me to believe it’s snowing up the road. About as expected with this WAA precip. BTV radar suggests above 1500-1700ft it’s a more pure snow. It usually takes up to 1,000 vertical feet to go from full, cold snowflake to melted rain drop… the radar signature from bright banding and what’s falling here confirm a 1500ft+ snow level for accumulation.
