MRVexpat Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 1 minute ago, Hitman said: It is the staffing issue why they arent running the slidebrook lift. They are down lift mechanics and that lift has 40 towers that have to be inspected daily whenever its running. That being said, even if they had the staff, the limited snowpack would have impacted when it could be run. Specifically they were short on staff this summer so the yearly inspection/maintenance couldn't take place. Don't know much about the details but apparently you need a certain level of certification to perform this level of yearly maintenance and of course other lifts took priority. Based on what I've heard, the decision was made to not run it long before any sort of an official announcement. Anyways, looks like its really coming down out there. 5-6" up high in the MRV as per about an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot21 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 6.5-7" at 2pm. Coming down good after a little lull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froude Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Yeah I was skeptical this morning but it's been crushing here in the valley since noon. In Burlington now, 5 or 6" down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jculligan Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Went down the road for a few laps at Black Mountain and it snowed another 2" while I was gone. We're up to 5" total with excellent flake size right now. This might actually be the best combination of snowfall intensity and flake size of the entire winter so far. Up to 16F.

tamarack Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Up to 4.5", moderate rate at present. I can't recall a snowstorm with more hiccups - borderline S+ to almost nothing and back again, switching from okay flakes to teeny ones and back again - about 4 times, graupel, decent dendrites at present.

Yeah, the afternoon was solid here at the house as well – 5 to 6” in the 12:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. period, so certainly up there in that 1.5-2”/hr. range. The snow ratios are much higher now, and that will easily allow folks to get those ~10” numbers that the BTV NWS had in their Event Total Snowfall map. We’ve already sailed right past that here at our site thanks to the ratios. I think the biggest ratios will be from this afternoon, but I’ll see what the ratio was on the morning’s accumulation and how it compared to the overnight accumulation.

mreaves Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 So far in VT. I'll note that the NWS Employee at 1 SW East Barre reported at roughly the same time I cleared my board and had the same as I did. I just went out and measured another 4.25" so I am at 10.5" so far.

I never used to have a board to measure on either until I got the weather station last year. I needed a place to mount it and when I decided to use shelf brackets, I grabbed a piece of white shelf too and figured it would work as a measuring board. I need to get a new board though because stupid me didn't think about the weather disintegrating the piece of MDF shelf. Anyway, I took that picture about 3 hours after I had cleared it.
