We had about 2" overnight before it turned to freezing rain this morning. It flattened anything we got last night and glazed everything. We just had a decent band of snow move through which added a half inch. That band is gone, but there's a chance for more snow showers tonight. Overall, we got some white which is nice. Not a lot of snow, but it's a much better start than last year.

The radar is interesting in that it looks like eastern VT has dried up for some time now while that band along the spine of the Greens is still going strong. I just got back from my third bout of shoveling and it's still coming down strong, even down here in the valley.

Still coming down at a little less than 1/2" per hour, but the nature of the snow has really changed in the last few hours. It's a lot lighter, more like Champlain Powder. Looking at the map and that persistent band of snow along the Greens, just to the east of those big lake effect bands off Ontario and Erie, I wonder if this isn't some of what's happening.

No snow at all east of the Northfield Mountains until you're in the upper tip of NH. Northern Maine looks like it's getting absolutely crushed and that big, dark blue circle is not even moving. That low must have settled in for the long haul off the coast.

Western NY area: 1 to 2 inch an hour snowfall rates of lakes, where it has all gone I do not know (winds 25-35mph gusting to 45mph). 1 inch on ground and snowing all day.

Sucks.

Looks like it stopped right after I posted that last message. It looked like about 13 inches down here. MRG posted 14-16 on the mountain. I was thinking they'd more like 20, but it still was a darn good dumping for early December. Feels like February weather out there.

edit: Sugarbush is saying 14" in the last 24 and 20" in the last 48.

Sunday River got 12-14" by my estimate. Here at home we have a hefty 1/2" of snow on the ground.
