What the hell, January 28-29 2025 FLURRIES

2.0" for the final here, hopefully will be firing up the groomer for the first pass out our Northern trail tomorrow, then we pray for the next two to help us get the rest opened. This is the latest first grooming run since my time as trail master the past 11 years, and my grandfather as trail master the 6 years before that.

Our club plans to open trails this weekend.  We've only been on the periphery of the upslope bonanza.  Enough to start building a base.  I won't be in town this weekend to help but I'm sure there are plenty of guys who will ride ahead of the groomer to help clear any blowdowns.

Same amount here, then 3.5 hours of no-measurable tiny flakes under thin clouds, temp remaining <20. 
At 1 PM, 3 at FVE, 41 at ASH.

1.1" in Charlotte, VT.  For the umpteenth time this year, synoptic moisture comes in less than modeled/forecasted here in NNE.  When in drought, predict drought...

8.5”-9” for Mansfield.

High Road Plot had 4.5” at 9:30am and then added another 4” in 5 hours through 2:30pm.

The differences have been wild this year from Champlain Valley to Greens.

Wild weather day up here.  After 2" with the clipper just snow squall after snow squall.  Probably another inch.  Temperatures this morning in the teens rising to 25F at noon and just hit 32F at 3:30pm.  So it was fluff and blowing fluff.  I made this clip. Just when you think we were done another one hits!  https://video.nest.com/clip/85522856e5d647fc8202f43c6b306a1e.mp4

The low level wind from the (dry) north has been so very persistent for the last 30+ days.  You have to go up to the mid levels to get any appreciable moisture coming from any of the westerly directions.  Even the moisture coming off of the Great Lakes when the wind is westerly is scrubbed out by upslope on the west side of the Adirondacks (and subsequent downsloping here in the Valley) with the only real moisture making it to y'all at the mids...   Again and again...

Yeah all good points.

Have a half a foot down in town from last night and today.  Still snowing pretty well.

To sum up yesterday,  what a fun weather day.  We only made it briefly to 32F with squall after squall from midday to dark.  I have never seen so much variable condition's hour by hour.  2" with the clipper, and perhaps 1.5" with the flurries and squalls.  Hard to measure, especially after fropa.

I made this 2 minute time-lapse from midday to dark.  Yes, that was my Golden Retriever chasing the turkeys!
