Definitely higher ratio than the last event. Winter vibe right there, awesome. It's November 28th. That's a quality scene for this time of year. The past 48-72 hours have been winter-like.

Nothing here (as expected), though the clouds held the temp above 20 overnight. Clouds disappeared about sunrise, another sunny day. We've now had 50% more sunny/mostly sunny days this month than in any of the 23 previous Novembers. Friday's wet dusting (0.2") is amazingly persistent, most still in place. In March with the same temps, all would've been gone before Saturday noon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwt3650 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Killington was on point this morning. Great conditions, a few natural trails and lots of snow guns. More crowded than I would have thought for a Monday in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 A wintry appeal today. Cold, sunny. Firm snow. Icy on the steeper parts of the run. Skis like early season snowmaking on a pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 At observations time this morning I was surprised to find steady light snow falling with some substantial flakes (up to 15 mm diameter), because as far as I knew, our next system in the queue wasn’t supposed to affect the area until later today. I quickly checked the weather models, and even the mesoscale options don’t seem to have picked this up. The BTV NWS thankfully has their thoughts on it in the near term of their most recent AFD, which I’ve added below. As you can see from the radar image, it’s surprisingly robust precipitation for something stealth enough to be missed by even the mesoscale modeling. I’ll call it more than the scattered flurries they have in the AFD text, but perhaps the precipitation has blossomed more in the past couple of hours. Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Burlington VT 637 AM EST Tue Nov 30 2021 NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 626 AM EST Tuesday...Main change with this update was to expand in both areal and temporal scope scattered flurries for the next few hours. Light returns are showing up on radar across far northeastern NY into northern VT, and area webcams indicate that snow is indeed falling in these locations. However, it does not appear that much, if any, accumulation is occurring with this activity. It`s likely the result of a very weak upper shortwave passing through the northwest flow aloft and should exit to our east a bit later this morning. Otherwise, the forecast is in good shape and no other changes are needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Event totals: 0.7” Snow/0.01” L.E. Today’s earlier event finished up this afternoon, so the above totals should be the final values. Radar suggests the next system is right on the doorstep though, so we’ll see what that one has in store. Details from the 6:00 P.M.

powderfreak Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Noticed some light snow falling driving home from the grocery store. Didn’t think we’d see snow this evening for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Dog walk in the Notch this afternoon. RT 108 closure through the Notch is certainly an awesome spot around here. You don't get to just easily wander through dramatic terrain like this in many places with just an afternoon stroll up a snowpacked road. It's actually the same road we live off of, but miles away, which is fun to think about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve seen in our area, this morning’s snowfall has been some of the most robust from this system thus far. The flakes were relatively small at observations time, but the size has increased substantially since then. Details from the 6:00 A.M.
