MommaBear,
Hope it all worked out. That's a lot to juggle at once. Traffic was a bear last night. An hour and 45 to Springfield. Ugh!!

SoVT update : Snow, sleet and some freezing rain. Snow/sleet right now. We re in Dummerston now. NWS says 1500ft+ should be mostly snow. We're at about 900...so some mixing. Fingers crossed for mostly snow at Mt Snow.

Thank you for the update Glen! Came on here specifically to see if anyone mentioned the weather/roads. Been raining here in CT all day - no snow or sleet, just rain. Snowing hard at Okemo an hour ago. Hitting the road now finally. Snow/sleet I can handle. Hopefully, no ice. Lots of water on the road ways in CT - if anyone is heading back this way.

Son n the old man left Cannon at 400 pm with steady snowball. Now I'm sitting at Truants having sTall T n T and its puking! An inch on the ground when we pulled in to the lot!

Wow! Bummer on all rain in CT. Drive safe heading up here. Not sure on how the roads are. It's been pretty warm.....upper 20's low 30's. Hopefully, you'll be fine for the most part. Keep us posted.

Snow out pretty good here in Claremont, NH. Big snowflakes, big snowflakes always seem to be a precursor to non snow precip. Also according the latest radar, Southern Vermont is getting some really heavy rain....not sure if the radar is just spazing out or if that is the case. Sleet in already moving into NH. However with all this negative stuff, it looks like Northern VT, NH and especially Maine are going to or are getting hammered with snow.

It's interesting you mentioned the radar thing. During that transition zone from snow/ice/rain, the radar beam does reflect off of, or give higher returns, from melting snowflakes aloft. There very well may be heavier showers but those often indicate a warmer zone aloft with melting/icing. If you have a uniform layer of that aloft, you can utilize the radar console (the actual NWS radar workstations, called PUPS) to see how high that layer is aloft. Just geeky, FYI stuff--probably not the best time for it considering the effect on our snow.

Will this be all snow for Bretton Woods or sleet mixing in?

Thanks!

Winn - MRG safe?

WWF reports by phone it's dumping heavy in the Mad River Valley / Sugarbush @ 5pm

Mostly snow--only a brief, shot of sleet possible overnight...but should be short-lived.

Started dumping not long ago on Burke. 30 mins into it and it looks promising.

Well shortly after my last report it changed over to sleet/snow, sleet, rain, now drizzle. Looks like it might end soon and then the backside of the storm will move through. Non Rain looks like it is getting as far north as Killington.

5" in Lincoln NH now

I spoke to my sis at Magic. They had snow all day and then started mixing in the evening. I hope not too bad as Im really looking forward to tomorrow.

 

[deadheadskier]

nuked in Stowe from 5 to 10. I'd say about 7 inches of HEAVY wet snow. Going to be tiring skiing on the hill tomorrow. Apparently there was some intense thunder and lightening snow. I missed as I was checking out Stanley Jordan at the Performing Arts Center.

the elusive thunder snow. Never seen it

23* and freezing rain in NJ turned to 23* and some snow/mixed in NY until 5 minutes before getting to the mountain in the Catskills (Belleayre). Rain all day. WTF does it take to snow!?! Oh well, conditions were good on piste.

 

[psyflyer]

10 inches on Burke! Thunder and lightening snow was a first for me. The lightening and thunder went on for a good 30 minutes, while it was dumping. Never rained here, and it look awesome out there. Heading out!

 

[Glenn]

Ugh! All frozen rain in SoVT. What a bummer of a storm. I had my hopes set on at least 4" of snow. Oh well.

Felt like spring down here today. If Gunbarrel had bumps, I might have ventured over to Sundown for a bit.
