powderfreak Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 It is pounding snow, this is nice. Looks like a mid-level pivot point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like it’s been running at about 1”/hr here at our site, nothing too outrageous, but nice and steady. I’m planning to run an analysis at 12:00 P.M. and we’ll get some info on the morning’s snow density down here in the valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 2 hours ago, powderfreak said: Seems to be precipitating fairly efficiently but no more than 8-10:1 ratios I'd imagine? Pretty dense at the mountain, which is what is needed. There’s no doubt that the snow was denser this morning, but it’s definitely lightening up now as the temperatures are dropping down here in the valley. The morning time block for snowfall produced an average ratio that was almost 12:1, so it must be above that now. We’ll see if the ratios keep going up this afternoon, which would obviously enhance the accumulation numbers relative to denser snow, but of course it’s the liquid that matters. There’s almost a half inch of liquid down so far, which is a great start. The flakes weren’t especially large at observations time (1-5 mm), but with the rate at which the boards were getting re-covered as I cleared them, you could tell there is a lot of liquid coming out of the sky. A half inch of liquid equivalent down is great though; that pretty much already calls for an afternoon trip to the hill to check it out. Bolton actually has Blauvelt’s Banks taking place today, so that should be fun to watch. I’ve actually been watching the riders on the Bolton Base Area Webcam, which has been fun. I can see that the Vista Quad is already down on wind hold, but apparently all the other lifts are still running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the widespread 12-20” that it looked in the mid-range but it’s snowy and winter again. I feel like 6-12” amounts will be most common when all is said and done. That’s been a popular landing spot for storms this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 It’s the kind of snow that sticks to everything and looks great. Snow getting drier now as the winds shift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timp Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Yeah it’s beautiful out there. Just measured 6.5” so far with light snow currently. NAM looks decent for upslope later on so we’ll see how high we can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Just left the mountain, 8.5” at 1500ft and it’s upslope fluffing pretty good. Wind really ramped up. Definitely less snow down in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 The 8" here is really doing some work bringing back that deep winter feel. Trees and bushes are sagging and snow is blowing around and piling up. Feels like a lot more snow than it is. Glad winter is back for now at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
