BW is closed today due to 70+ gusts on the summit. Always neat to see these microclimate differences around here. Expand I'm not sure if it's because I'm on the side of a hill, but it's been ripping all morning with windblown drifts. My anno is only reporting a max gust of 28MPH, but it's protected from the winds with a lot of mature trees. I was also without power for a couple hours, and also dealing with transmitter battery issues. The wind has been more exciting than the snow. I think I got only around 6", but it's all drifts out there, so I'm going to have to report a guess on the New England snow website. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 inches that fell in MD last night were totally obliterated by 5 hours of heavy 38 degree rain. Expand The 3.5” glacier survived and we had 2.5” last night . Everything is gonna be a block of ice later today .. if we get light snow this evening to cover the roads.. it’ll be a sheet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand We are dead calm on Mansfield east side despite summit gusting 90mph on the radio towers. No real lift issues either. Meanwhile Bolton was completely shut down on west side.

NW_of_GYX Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 29 degrees, moderate snow, 6” so far. Hoping we can hold off the changeover for another 45 min or so. East winds were ripping at the summit of Shawnee Peak but not really mixing down in town. Snow is lighter and fluffier than I expected, no power issues so far.

Expand Its crushing in the last batch moving through with wind way down. I had 8.3" a little while ago--might be able to squeeze out double digits even here. Surprisingly not that much less than Mitch had. Think the wind and ratios just played havoc on the higher end totals overnight in SVT.

alex Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Measuring 7-9” in my driveway depending on the spot. Not bad! Was expecting far less but doesn’t seem like we got downsloped much. Mountains make it so hard to predict things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I was hoping we'd slot, but looks like pack damage is incoming. Hopefully not too bad as it would be nice to keep some softness in the pack for best hiking. Maybe Gene can hang onto frozen as that ugly batch of run comes north.
