I’ m not sure New England is in a drought. Some areas may be and others may not. Certainly the dry and warm fall and especially the November dryness and warmth contributed to drought condition. The pattern seems to have changed since December 7th although going from extreme to extreme. The mountains of north/ central Vermont picked up 45 inches of…Read More
Hear Hear… says a plow driver on the west side of Jay Peak
So I have a question. Until this past weekend most reputable forecasters said there was a slim chance of a TD or possible TS developing in the gulf and most said it would get sheared by strong westerlies and not develop further. Then all of a sudden we had a hurricane that exploded into a cat 5 and is now going through its normal cycles. Can…Read More
A very cool day, indeed. This was my 4th and by far the most memorable total solar eclipse: 1959 (Cape Cod), 1963 (Maine) and 1970 (Virginia) .We had 2 minutes and 53 seconds of totality at our house. The temperature started to drop at about 65% of totality and dropped 5-6 degrees in the shade. A sunny, windless 60 degree day on April 8th in…Read More
Yikes, some of the local weather forecasters are predicting anywheres from 18- 41 inches of snow above 2000 feet in the spine of the central and northern green mountains. Although I have seen this type of storm before, I think it will too warm as precipitation rates dwindle with a dry slot on Sunday with low snow ratios before they pick up on…Read More
Burlington, Vermont has seen its cloudiest January since 1951. This could be due to the fact that the Great Lakes are open and warm. I haven’t seen the sun in more than two weeks. Burlington is 18 inches behind in snow this season.The snowpack in the Champlain Valley is 1-4 inches of ice and snow. The mountains of north central Vermont have…Read More
So true. Being in the foothill of Jay Peak (known for its snow) it’s been pretty rough for everyone. Hopefully it comes around. We have the chance of 2.5+ more months of winter. Problem is the economy does recover from poor holiday turnout that was missed.
From North Central vermont. We picked up 7-8 inches of snow iin the Champlain Valley with and a little more in the mountains. Not a big storm, but we’ll take it. Skiing should be back to some natural snow trails tomorrow for the third re-start of the season. More importantly with some vorticity advection passing overhead tonight with a favorable…Read More
Where abouts in NC Vermont?
Lincp here. From Charlotte VT oadjacent to the lake. I travel over the appalacian gap almost daily to patrol at MRG so I see a lot of different weather.
I’m in Montgomery, west side of Jay Peak. Neighbor, country neighbors!
Now I know that this has been a difficult winter for snow lovers in New England and the mid- Atlantic so far, but it is something we have seen before. What has been particularly frustrating is that the indices have overwhelmingly been in our favor. As I look at the upcoming weekend and a little beyond…….this is what I live for. The models show…Read More
Wow, what a difference a day makes. They have issued a Winter Storm watch for most of Northern and Central Vermont above 500 feet with 8-18 inches of snow. The Champlain Valley should get 3-6 inches. We will still will get warm temperatures Saturday night into Sunday night with an inch or so of rain, but that is a lot better than 3 inches of rain…Read More
This was an over-achiever in central Vermont. Mostly rain was predicted in the lower elevations and hills with 3-6inches in the highest elevations. We had 2 inches along Lake Champlain with more in the hills and 12-14 inches above 1600 feet. Nice job Henry, as you had us in a general 4-8 swath of snow. Let’s bring on the lake effect and the storm…Read More
