We are so rarely in the bullseye for any of these that I had a hard time believing it. I'm not 100% sure since I just measured for the first time about 2 minutes ago, but it looks about 14" new here with total depth around 21". There is a blue hue at the bottom of this new snow. Still snowing over here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Looks like 12.5” on the level here sticking a ruler into the dog run area… that’s 4” after 5am. Wife’s car has about 2” fluff since she got home at 2pm (about half inch per hour). I’ll take net increases of a solid foot and over 1” of QPF all day long.

J.Spin Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Event totals: 15.5” Snow/1.67” L.E. During the 6:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. period today we picked up 1.9” of snow, which contained 0.18” of liquid. That snow density was 9.5%, and that was right in line with the density from the previous collection period. This evening's snow has definitely dried out more, coming in at 6.4% H2O, or a 15.6 to 1 snow to water ratio. Details from the 8:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 1.4 inches New Liquid: 0.09 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 15.6 Snow Density: 6.4% H2O Temperature: 9.7 F Sky: Light Snow (1-3 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 24.5 inches 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Below is the north to south listing of available snowfall totals from the Vermont ski areas that have been posted thus far for Winter Storm Landon. It looks like storm totals dropped off rather precipitously south of Killington, which would suggest that somewhere at that latitude was the point where mixed precipitation was more prevalent. Mount Snow was apparently far enough south that they hadn’t received any snow as of their most recent report, so that’s quite the differential from the north end to the south end of the state for totals from this storm. Jay Peak: 21” Smuggler’s Notch: 19” Stowe: 16” Bolton Valley: 16” Mad River Glen: 16” Sugarbush: 16” Middlebury: 15” Pico: 17” Killington: 17” Okemo: 6” Bromley: 2” Magic Mountain: 4” Stratton: 3” Mount Snow: 0” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 6" final Rain began late Thursday afternoon. During the evening it very slowly transitioned to snow and sleet. I lost a few hours of accum with temperatures sliding down through the 30's. During the night from late evening to 3am was a peltfest. We flipped around that time and it snowed of varying intensities all day until well into the evening. So the 6" has a layer of sleet under the snow. Today's choir is raking the flatter area of the roof. Ice dams are building up Even so we have a 15" durable pack now that has built up through many storms. Now on to Monday's chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 With the overnight snows, there were some additions to the storm reports for the Vermont ski areas, so I’ve got the updated north to south list below. MRG seems to buck the north to south trend the most with their update to 23”, but they specifically state it in their snow report as their upper mountain storm total (“…tacking on another 1-2″ from last night brings the storm total to 18-23″ since Thursday.”), so that’s the current value in the list.

tamarack Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Finished at 12.4" after nearly 30 hours of snowfall. The first 11" had 1.28" LE for the 8.6 ratio, and when I was clearing it yesterday afternoon the snowblower revealed Thursday's slop. I thought that it would freeze and make for an icy driveway. Then the 4-11 PM feathers added 1.4" with 23.3 ratio to cover the mess. First 12"+ in almost 4 years, pack at 26" and the views are lovely. In Allagash the folks would say the woods were "filthy". We found these conditions great when leading the crew, kick the sapling and dump its load on our chums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 A number of us were up at Bolton yesterday to catch the snow from Winter Storm Landon, so I’ll pass along some images and snow updates. Hearing about this storm being focused on NNE, our friend Dave came up from Boston for a visit and the usual local ski country food and lodging. It’s been a couple of years since he’s been able to visit for one of these trips, but his schedule lined up well for this one. He actually skied Killington on Thursday and said that he almost bailed when he arrived in the morning to find it raining. Thankfully, he found that it was much more wintry up high on the mountain, and the conditions just got better as the day went on. There were no concerns about rain for Friday at Bolton though; everyone in the north was over to 100% snow by that point, so the only things to wonder about were snow density and snow accumulations. Winds weren’t strong at all, so there were no wind holds, and the lifts seemed to start right up at their planned times aside from the usual smaller delays of getting the later lifts rolling on a storm day. It was chilly out there on the mountain, with temperatures probably in the 10 F range. The new snow was undoubtedly a solid resurfacing of the entire mountain at all elevations. We’d picked up 1.40 of liquid equivalent down at our house by the morning, so the mountain would have had at least that much. The snow had started out quite dense at the very initial stages of the storm as temperatures were still coming down, and then it seemed to settle down to roughly medium-weight powder for the bulk of the overnight accumulations. My 6:00 A.M. analyses revealed snow density at 9.4% H2O, which is solidly in that medium-weight powder category. There hadn’t really been any fluff at that point to set up an impressively right-side-up powder accumulation, so you were generally riding in that medium weight snow, and we found the best skiing on steeper terrain. Low angle slopes were just a bit on the slow side with the available snow density. Thankfully, with that 1 to 2 inches of liquid equivalent down, it was game on for even the steepest terrain, and steep areas that we hit such as Vermont 200, the Spell Binder headwall, and the Tattle Tale headwall all delivered. You could attack those pitches as aggressively as you wanted, without concern. Another great example of the resurfacing was hitting Cobrass on our second run to find that even the usual ledges and ice bulges were covered. Initially, I’d gone in with the usual strategy of negotiating those obstacles, but quickly saw that they were irrelevant, and I was able to ski like they weren’t even there. That’s the sign of a solid resurfacing. With depth checks, I was generally finding settled accumulations of about a foot at that stage of the storm, which I think was right in line with what the resort had noted in their morning report. We actually skied with an associate from PeakRankings.com who was getting info for his report on Bolton Valley, so we showed him around for a few runs. His ski jacket has something like “WE RANK PEAKS” written in huge letters on the back, which quickly gets your attention and lets you know what he’s up to. I had to head out around midday, but Dave and my wife did catch up with our younger son and his friends out on the mountain for some skiing. I have to give the boys a hard time for not getting out right at the start of the morning, but one of my son’s friends did pull off a classic dual resort move to really maximize a powder day. He headed to Stowe first thing for the typical “hour of power”, where you can get some good fresh runs before it’s all tracked up and the lift queues grow, and then he headed to low-key Bolton where you can enjoy powder for the rest of the day in peace. I’d say he’s wise beyond his years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot21 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Have had some steady light snow for a couple hours now and it looks like it snowed during the overnight too, around 16" now with pack just under 2 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
