The funny part is we got the huge blocking to verify…but as some of us said before that pattern, nobody cares about longwave patterns in here, they care of it delivers snow or not. The pattern can set up like models showed but if the big snowstorm doesn’t happen, it’s irrelevant. 

Will, you always mention longwave patterns, what do we look at for that?

Longwave pattern is really just showing where the general above normal and below normal heights are. We cannot discern from those maps how individual shortwaves will behave.
 

So we typically like seeing ridging out west and into AK and troughing in the east…or ridging over Greenland/NAO region. 
 

You can see from the map that Brooklynwx99 posted, the height pattern is quite favorable for us. We like that look for trying to get snow events in here. We know this because of past years with similar looks and they tend to produce more often than not. But as we learned in December, there’s no guarantees.

Ha down here at 750ft…
The VAST snowmobile route to the gas station while the dog finds anything cold to roll in.
The Rec Path is annoyingly busy ha.  Like a spring afternoon.

Rubber band..it’ll bounce back. It’s northern Vermont, right. We still have plenty of epic days ahead this winter. Just amazed at what not dropping below freezing for three straight days can do to the pack.

Leaving Vt today snow retention was surprisingly good in the valleys. But above 2,000’ it’s toast. CAD for the win. 
The big issue for the mountains is having to start over with snow making. Even snow making trails were struggling. It’s going to take more then a few inches at the end of the week to get the ball rolling again.

Some signs of something to turn it fresh white again by EOD Thursday.

as fate would have it for me this season, I'm leaving for an extended period for work in Florida on the 14th, right around the time things look to be lining up nicely, I've missed nearly every flake this season, and still have yet to use the new blower...ugh, at least my dad has taken the skywarn class, so he's capable of accurate measurements if anything falls on the snow table...

18z euro got more interesting. Here’s 90 hours (doesn’t go out any further on off-hour runs)….it’s already below freezing down to the pike at this point away from the coast…but that’s an awful lot of energy lagging back
