Up to a solid inch and a half, as of 1 PM. Ground and roads are white!
The forecasts I'm seeing for Wed/Thu calls for rain/mixed. I took Thursday off (Fridays have been bad luck) so it better be more frozen stuff than not. Still too far out to tell, and I'm determined to ski regardless. :-?
Any way, today's storm is shaping up nicely. Does this season remind anyone of last season, but perhaps 3 weeks later?

Yeah, really. Snowing HARD now. I don't remember it snowing as hard at any point during last weekend's storm. Up to 2" now!jfg15 said:

stronger mesoscale dynamics in this storm, more banding, deeper low, more lift...all that good stuff
however, stronger means more flow from the somewhat warm atlantic, so a changeove is to be expected down here

Any chance of this not happening?jfg15 said:

1) Dynamics of the storm can cause the atmosphere to cool itself even though warmer air works into it, and this could happen when most of the precip falls thus giving some good amounts of snow before a changeover. This is what the NWS thinks will happen
2) Storm stays east of boston....not sure about that one, although pressure falls look good off the coast....

for what its worth, 7.5 millibar pressure drops off the coast of Jersey, indicating bombogenesis, the rapid development and intensification of a storm
this could cause snow fall rates in the next 4 hours easily at or above 1-2 inches an hour

Seems like we're getting a break in the precipitation right now. Still a very fine snow and it's struggling to reach 20 degrees. About 4 1/2" so far this afternoon.

Just starting to flurry here in northern NH. The ski areas sure could use a good dumping of snow after last week.

I left the bush at around 3 or so and headed out for Lebanon, NH around 4. Got there around 5. From around 4 or 430 the snow started up I89 coming on strong. There was quickly a few inches of snow on the ground. Just got back to Waitsfield now 830pm with a good 8" of snow on my deck and on the local roads. Snow appears to be increasing now and the wind is picking up. Should be an interesting morning especially if we get high winds. Blizzard time.
Thank God for my Jeep and snow.

Damn, if it wasn't dark out might be a nice little hike for some right off the freeway powder runs. But I actually didn't go past Lebanon, Nh though. Just went there to pickup my daughter and came back to Waitsfield.
Speaking of hiking, I went to get a new helmet with headphones at the local apline shop near the bush. Brought my Dakine backpack in to to see about rigging my pack to carry my snowboard or skis. Come to find my backpack already has the straps to carry my board. I was so hyped. I'm hopeful maybe Tuesday morning if I get some snowshoes or something tomorrow I might be able to do some hiking early morning after the storm to get some pictures and take a pow run.

Well, we wound up with about 5 inches of snow and another inch of sleet/ice. It warmed up to 30 degrees late last night. How are conditions up North?
