File not found :( 

The wind is so damaging it evidently destroyed LCI's anemometer in the last hour. 

Not sure I've ever seen LCI report .15m visibility before?  

Just had a good gust here. Looks like LCI had a M1/4SM hourly METAR and they’re reporting 1/8SM in the 5 min supplemental obs according to MesoWest. So I’m not sure how that works. Apparently the vis sensor can report values below 1/4SM, but hourly METAR algorithms just call it a M1/4?

Where you live it does, but this is par for the course around here.  Snowpack is not something we have for very long around here.  It's why I don't care much for measly storms.  I like the big storms that cripple the area for days.

Are you getting what was expected?

The win is wind conditions. It’s still snowing pretty decently so will finish between seven and eight I’d imagine. That was well predicted. The fact that we warmed enough, and as Brian said we broke through the inversion, created near blizzard conditions for a couple of hours that has been fantastic. Like I said earlier, we had the sort of heavy snow fog conditions where you can barely see, like when you’re in one of those 4 to 5 inch an hour deformation bands lead in a storm. I did not expect that!  You’re going to find quite the man pack the next time you come up here

Limping to the finish line here. Radar is a bit ragged. I’m on my phone but peeked at vis and it looked like the deeper overcast pushed NE. Upper level dryslot come through? Still some heavy precip to go though. 

It’s good for both of us that I’ve still got mostly snow. Quite happy for everything to cut off ASAP

I love the wind. Glad you guys got a taste of that.

Still without power, but got the wood stove ripping. Blizzard conditions. One of the best winter storms I've experienced up here. Waterville also without power. Not sure they'll even be able to open the lifts if they get power back. It is that windy.

Sunday River website down probably power less
