Any reports from this storm yet?? Looks like the NEK is getting hit pretty good.

We have a few inches on the northwest side of Vermont so far!

Sleeting here in Waitsfield.

Picked up about 3 inches in a couple hours here at work in barre, now freezing rain.

Ice/snow line is about 100 miles North of where they said it would be.

just changed to sleet/freezing rain here also.

Is the entire state going to change over to sleet/frz rain?? Talk about a nightmare...

Freezing rain in Vergennes. :unsure:

Happy face turned to frown , it's now sleeting/freezing rain on the 4 inches of snow we have

Look at it this way, it will help set-up a solid base that wont just get blown away after the first sled over it.

Unfuckingbelieveable!!! Rob's CAM is showing 16 degrees and it's fucking sleet and freezing rain!!! Hopefully it swithces over soon. Every minute of this mix shit is going to cut down on forecasted snow totals. Fingers crossed...

hilltopepr

AAHH!! 5-6in of snow in Williston now ice/sleet :angry:

take a look at the radar this storm is going no where fast

What do youe mean "going nowhere fast"? Not pulling out any time soon or not amounting to shit?

im saying the precipitation is not going to be over with untill tomarrow.

I see. So hopefully that does not mean sleet and freezing rain right through until tomorrow....

freezing rain in Movegas too...my knees hurt from praying.

i think any where above saint J will be all snow

8 Inches already up in Derby. The groomer is going out to pack tonight. KEEP IT COMING!

thats what im talking about

The heck with HCS I am going out and tearing up our field.

It's not snowing at Rob's and he's:

1. North of STJ and
2. At a much higher elevation

ill be up there wednesday

i just talk to our builder in west charleston and he told me that there is 10 inches on the ground and its snowing like a mother

I don't believe anyone has received 10" new from this storm yet.. We only got about 2" before changing to sheet. Right now it has almost stopped, not doing much at all.

Also this was posted at 9:30am by the NWS. They were already downplaying it then:

...INCREASING THREAT FOR SIGNIFICANT ICE CENTRAL/S-CENTRAL VT...

.SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT/...
ONGOING MIXED WINTER PRECIPITATION EVENT CONTINUES ACROSS THE
NORTH COUNTRY WITH WINTER STORM WARNINGS IN PLACE ALL SECTIONS.
VERY IMPRESSIVE LOW-LEVEL ISENTROPIC ASCENT AND LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
ADVECTION TAKING PLACE INTO THE FA THRU 21Z. REGIONAL VAD WIND
PROFILES SHOW STG LOW-LEVEL VEERING WINDS AND SWLY 700MB WINDS IN
EXCESS OF 55KTS AT KTYX...AS WELL AS THE 88D SITES AT ALBANY AND
BINGHAMTON. OF CONCERN IS WARM LAYER ALOFT AND RADAR TRENDS
SUGGESTING INCREASING MIXED PRECIPITATION NWD INTO THE ADIRONDACKS
AND S-CENTRAL VT AT 14Z. IT APPEARS THE GFS THERMODYNAMIC PROFILE
IS MORE IN LINE WITH CURRENT TRENDS. THE 12Z KALB SOUNDING
INDICATED AN OMINOUS +3C AT 850MB...AND WE/LL CONTINUE TO SEE
WARMING 800-900MB LAYER NWD INTO OUR FORECAST AREA. WILL NEED TO
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS FOR MORE SLEET/FREEZING RAIN FURTHER NORTH INTO
THE ADIRONDACKS AND MOST OF VT...WITH ONLY AREAS VERY NEAR THE
CANADIAN BORDER REMAINING MOSTLY SNOW. ALL ADJUST SNOWFALL AMTS
DOWNWARD TO ACCOUNT FOR SMALLER SNOW RATIOS AND MORE OF A MIX OF
SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN. THE ICING WILL MAKE ROAD CONDITIONS
EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL/S-CENTRAL VT THRU THE

SIGNIFICANT THREAT FOR ICE ACCUMULATION EXCEEDING 1/2 INCH ACROSS

MAY EVEN SEE FREEZING RAIN INTO THESE AREAS...ESPECIALLY THIS
AFTN. WILL WORK ON SHIFTING MIXED PRECIPITATION ZONE FURTHER
NORTH IN THE GRIDS AND HAVE AN UPDATE OUT ASAP.

Yeah, I'd say the 10" report is total bullshit. Jay Peak is reporting 8" new at the top of the mountain so I highly doubt W. Charlestown has gotten 10". Oh well, at least there is cold following the storm.

...WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM EST TUESDAY...

A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM EST TUESDAY ACROSS NORTHERN NEW YORK AND NORTHERN VERMONT.

SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND SLEET IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION TODAY...WITH A BRIEF MIX WITH FREEZING RAIN THIS AFTERNOON. SNOW AND SLEET ACCUMULATIONS WILL RANGE FROM 5 TO 10 INCHES NEAR THE CANADIAN BORDER...WITH 4 TO 8 INCHES ACROSS THE ADIRONDACKS... THE BURLINGTON AND PLATTSBURGH AREAS... AND NORTH-CENTRAL VERMONT...INTO THE PASSUMPSIC VALLEY OF NORTHEAST VERMONT. LIGHT ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE IN PORTIONS OF THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY EASTWARD TO MONTPELIER AND ST. JOHNSBURY.

MIXED PRECIPITATION WILL BE HEAVIEST THROUGH 4 PM...BEFORE SWITCHING BACK TO SNOW AND ENDING AS SNOW SHOWERS TONIGHT.




storms not done with yet

At this rate we'll have 20" in W. Charlestown and maybe 6" everywhere else. Those W. Charlestwon trails are gonna be busy this weekend, huh champ?

At 1:30 we have had about 5 inches here in Derby,but it is still coming down as snow but not as hard as it was in the am.

wow you just love being negitve huh guy. Why do you want to think there is going to be such low snowfall totals. I am just letting you know what I heard from a guy that is in the location now. Where did you get your snow totals?

Maybe the mixed precipitation will only help for the groomers to pack down a nice base along with cold temps. It will change over to snow again later. When all said and done 12" totals for Northern Vermont. Then snow showers all week. Not bad!

just got off the phone with a buddy in Norton.....8" and snowin like hell

You're right, I'm being negative. I apologize. I got Jay's total by calling Steve at the mountain. I can see that Walden (nroth of STJ, 2000 feet elevation) hasn't gotten shit from Rob's camera.

A little moisture in the snow is definitely a good thing. Let's just hope the areas that are getting sleet and freezing rain switch back.

I promise I'll try and stay more positive and I hope I am 100% wrong about the feeling I'm getting about this storm.

totals are looking better

Any reports around Woodford? I was somewhat surprised the rain/snow line went as far north.

My parents live at 1500 feet in Dover and they have gotten all freezing rain to rain so far....

Just got back from riding. The snow with ice on top doesn't help control. I was all over the place doing any amount of speed, I almost got tossed a couple times. Also the downside to riding in freezing rain is the fact that it builds up A LOT. I must of had 1/16-1/8in. of ice on my helmet and jacket. I have pictures I can post later.

But I'm pretty darn happy!!

where were you riding?

Williston Vermont its near Burlington.

Really?? Maybe worth a trip friday. Its supposed to get cold so we will see.

It was snowing pretty good here too for a bit, but changed to sleet. Something is lightly coming down right now, but I can't tell what it is from my desk. I even went and bought my TMA today, so I'm hoping for the best.

Freezing rain now in Waitsfield.

Read his earlier post, He was riding in his field/yard. There isn't enough snow to ride trails in Williston.

When carbides dig into the ground sled goes all over the place, hence is comment on almost getting tossed along with the iced seat.

while we're all being so positive, how about this scenario? How about we get a few inches of wet snow with some rain on top of it all around the state - then starting tomorrow, it freezes rock hard before anyone can get on the trails and dust them off...then, on friday night, our first real storm of the winter comes through, and drops a foot on top of the smooth, stud absorbing, carbide carveable, rock/stick covering frozen base?

Sounds good to me - who do we call to make that happen?

By the way, I can still see grass in my yard in eastern Windham county....

I have my phone in hand as soon as somebody gets the magic phone number. I think we got a good 4 maaaybe 5 inches in st albans and it's coming down as freezing rain right now, little bit of crust on the top and kindof packs a little when you step but colder dryer snow in the undisturbed snow means I'll wait till later to clear the driveway so I can scrape it clean and not have a skating rink to drive on.

Weatherman, you bring a tear to my eye. What about all that secret military shit they have for cloud seeding tp control weather. Can't we pay someone off!

in other words, close but no cigar

we ended up getting more yesterday than today.

That sucks. You could always trailer to W. Charlestown, though.

I'm so sick of getting my hopes up, only to have them shot back down again. I'm still gonna ride my sled after work, but this lack of snow needs to stop.
