I hit a fantastic squall on the way to work this morning.  It was just north of Sharon VT about 6:45 or 7am.  Went from 33 and fine to 28 and 100 yrd visibility almost instantly.  For about 4 miles it was high winds and near white out conditions.  Fortunately a car had passed me right before we hit the wall of snow so I had its tracks to follow an an occasional glimpse of its rear lights.   By the time I reach the office the temp was 18.

Folks will be glad to know that it was dumping in Stowe with 2 or 3 inches on the ground.

we also had one when I was still living in Waterbury, put down like 3-5 inches...I do not remember the year, but I am sure Will does. I wanna say 2010 or 11 but could be wrong.

Probably Jan 28, 2010.  Had 1" from that one and Rumford, where we were at a meeting, had ~2" with howling winds and a 10°+ drop in temp.  By far the strongest squall since we lived in Fort Kent.  (Unfortunately, that was the last true winter event for the 09-10 season.)

We got stuck in one in the Gaspe snowmobiling back in the winter of 2018, legitimately couldn't see the trail in the woods where we were, had to stop for 20 mins and we got a few inches of snow in that time, absolutely insane and my camera couldn't do it justice.

The mountain got blasted with 6-7” and I’m at the Dentist.
