mreaves Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Measured in a few different spots. 13”, 12” and 11”. A foot seems about right and it is similar to two of the PNS reports in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 7.5" at 7 this morning with 0.90" LE and 2.5-3" since. RA changed to snow about 7 last evening and it's been constant moderate snow since then. Temp is mid-teens so the snow is dry, but I've not seen anything bigger than 1/4" coming down and the ratio is 8.3. Most of the snowiest reports on cocorahs show similar ratios. Farmington 4.8 NW reported 10.5" on 1.96" LE; the total looks reasonable as it was a 9 AM measurement but the LE is off the wall - 0.78" more than any other Maine report and 0.88" above any of the snowy places. Just had a short period with the rate almost to S+ but it's back to the usual, which is fine when it continues for 15+ hours. Back end looks to be just this side of the CT River so probably several more inches to come. May make 12"+ for the first time since March 2018. Trees are full of snow, but the later dry stuff isn't adding much weight so no danger, just beauty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#NoPoles Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I estimate a foot at rt 302 level in BW... It sure looks pretty! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Here to report the kitchen sink. Whatever the snowpack depth is right now is totally locked in and pure glacier. Walk right on top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 At the mountain 3,000ft as of 9am we had roughly 14" or 14.5" at the High Road Plot. 5" through 4pm and then 9.5" overnight. The bonus snows are here in full fluff factor now after the first 14" were very dense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a nice solid double digit snow for a lot of the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 11.9 inches when I left the house at 10 ish. The radar off to the SW is looking healthy for another slug later. BTV has extended the warnings: .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 1234 PM EST Friday...Have extended our winter storm warning to continue through 7 PM, including the evening commute. CAMS models are showing reinvigorating shot of snow in the 18-00z timeframe. Have increased snow amounts and pops in that timeframe to account for this. An upper level shortwave moving along the nearly stationary frontal boundary to our southeast is adding enough lift to help reinvigorate the snow this afternoon into the evening.

tamarack Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Took this a couple days ago - five critters cleaning up the apple drops. (Plus reducing this coming season's crop thru improper pruning.) Earlier this afternoon 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice Sugarloaf opened Bracket Basin and Saddleback is 100% open which means they are now between 3-4' of snow depth finally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think there is more new snow here than there was at the mountain (Stowe) today. It's quite possible that since like 8pm last night there was more snow in Montpelier as it was further southeast. The mountain totals include the 3-5" of dense wet snow that fell yesterday when it was raining down lower. That is what got the storm totals to the 15-18" range. I bet MPV had similar to 3,000ft since both elevations started seeing snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Really nice winters day. Low 20's Snowed in various intensities all day. I have noticed something over the years in snowflake sizes, maybe others too? Today's flake size varied quite a bit. We would have lots of small flakes. Then a couple of large half dollar flakeswould mix in. Over the next ensuing minutes the half dollar flakes become more numerous. Soon they become the predominate flake size. As they do they become smaller and smaller. Over a time period of perhaps 30 minutes the pattern would repeat. Has anyone else noticed this in storms? Any Meteorological reason?

Seasonal is 83.5” For this event, 14” It snowed on and off all day but didn’t seem to amount to much. Still mostly 14” readings around the property. I actually still have some slush around under the snow in spots; the warmth and rain before hand cut into the potential of this one a little, IMO. Still a great event and getting some uplsope-ish fluff now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a fun event… threaded the needle to see widespread 1”+ QPF on the narrow cold side. Heck even MVL ASOS had over an inch of water and that gauge rarely reports any water when it snows, ha.
