first signs of winter

Woo! Keep us posted on your projections for totals.

Snow levels trending a bit lower through the day tomorrow so we could see a summit changeover to snow a bit sooner. Haven't had too much time to look at things lately but could certainly see those N VT summits (Smuggs/Stowe/Jay and even Killington) picking up several inches (say, half a foot or so) by late Friday. Snow levels creep downslope Friday night for those areas but moisture tapers off by then, so if any midslope/base snowfall, it'll be minimal accumulations if any.

Will keep tracking when able and check back in here soon.

Northern VT summits could get a lot more if this thing pans out....there will be a lot of moisture getting wrapped up into the region. Should be fun to watch.

Any love for the White Mountains from this storm or am I gonna have to drive all the way to NoVT to go git' sum? 8)8)

Sorry for the delay on this but it'll be a little tougher for the Whites as colder air hangs west. Snow levels remain a bit to high for most right now, except for Mt. Washington. They'll drop later today but after most moisture pulls away. Still would expect some summit snow showers late today/tonight but not much accumulations.

Small patch of pink and blue over the Rock Pile right now. The only spot though radar. But the K-ton show snow at the Bear and Mountain View. Peak cam is covered by something........... Snow?

Yep--they've been getting light snow (mostly blowing snow) since late last night--steady temps in the upper 20's, which should drop later today.

Great, thanks for the update. johnskismore reported in another thread that his source reports no snow in Franconia yet so it seems like this is not a skiable event for the Whites (at least by my measure of skiable, which is rather extreme but not quite as extreme as some!). I'll be VT bound tomorrow. Usually Cannon does pretty well with these types of events but looks like the moisture and the cold didn't quite get into NH the way it did in VT and the Dacks.

Have fun in VT! Looks like Mt Mansfield picked up quite a bit. Killington had some accumulations as well. The storm wrapped up so tight that it wrapped in colder air aloft for the Whites. Mt Washington's temps actually went UP this afternoon changing snow over to freezing rain....will have to wait til next time.

Snow coverage update:

From the champlain valley the snow on the south face of mansfeild is very obvious. Appears to be quite a bit of snow op there. Smuggs and Stowe likely have a lot of snow on the winter side of the mountain.

Burke (visible from VT-289) on the way home from work has noticable snow on the trails. Appears to be skiable for the more skilled skiers from the distance.

Let the winter begin....

Spent the day running the chainsaw and hauling wood with the quad and trailer. I was bucking some small saplings when I heard my wife over the saw and through my ear muffs....it was snowing. Sweet. Pretty darn early to see flakes in SoVT.

 

[St. Bear]

Reports from friends that there were snow flurries in Concord, NH today.

 

[NYDrew]

Snow in Essex Junction (champlain valley) for a short while around noon yesterday. Mansfield is very white, caught a glimpse of smuggs and it looks good.

Here we go again, popping off at 65F at 1230am.
Well maybe Saturday we can start putting it in the bank again...

This weather is gross. Bring back fall please.

Thankfully we turn colder Friday and this weekend....a couple batches of snow showers rotate through (late Friday and another Saturday) for some light summit accumulations for northern VT/NH and even a few ME summits. Snowmaking should start resuming Friday night
