    The trend continues to be our friend in the overnight model runs.

    BTV had been forecasting a high temp of 39 on Friday for several days. That was reduced to 36 last nigth and then down to 33 this morning. I'm feeling increasingly happy in the pants.



    And a 7" total snowfall in the last 24 hours doesn't hurt either, considering the expectation was for 1-3". More to come starting in an hour or so. I wouldn't be surprised by another fluffy 3-4".

    We need that heavy band of snow to sag a little further southb. Radar indicating that Smuggs to Camels Hump is getting crushed with 1"/hr snowfall for the last hour or so. MRG might even be getting in on the action a little bit. LP possibly getting skunked if the radar picture is accurate:

    ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY DURING MUCH OF THE DAY 4-6 TIME
    FRAME...WITH A VARIETY OF WX CONDS EXPECTED AS COLDER AIR SLOWLY
    BLEEDS INTO REGION. ENSEMBLE MEAN 0C 850 HPA LINE WAFFLES ACROSS
    THE FA DURING THESE PERIODS...AND WITH SEVERAL SFC FEATURES RIDING

    MRG cam indicates they are getting crushed like a little bug by the current squall line. Can't even see the cliffs on the Single lift line.

    That's strange - it's not showing up on composite radar out of BTV. Then again, neither are the persistent snow showers I see on the MRG web cam.

    in lieu of an SB webcam, maybe SB could add a link to the MRG webcam from their website. it might save a lot of people a few clicks because thats what we all doing anyways. visit SB, then visit MRG, then visit the NWS for weather, then to skimrv.com and then back to SB again; my internet ski cycle.

    ....sorry Win, just couldn't help myself. whether you like it or not, MRG is giving the valley the live webcam we want.

    This is good:

    INCREASED MSTR AND CHANCES FOR SOME LIGHT PCPN FRI/FRI NIGHT
    AS SFC FRONT DROPS SOUTH ACROSS AREA. LLVL TEMPS MODERATE
    SUFFICIENTLY ON FRIDAY TO ALLOW FOR SCT SNOW SHWRS TO CHANGE TO RAIN
    SHWRS IN MOST AREAS. A CHANGE BACK TO SNOW SHWRS EXPECTED FRI
    NIGHT...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME SLEET/FZRA IN THE TRANSITION.
    AS THE FRONT DEPRESSES FURTHER SOUTH OF FA ON SATURDAY...LINGERING
    SNOW SHWRS EXPECTED IN THE MORNING...THEN MAINLY DRY IN THE PM. QPF
    FOR THE FRI/SAT TIMEFRAME EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT...AND HAVE KEPT ALL
    POPS IN CHC CATEGORY FOR NOW.

    This is better:

    MDLS DIFF FROM EARLIER RUNS FOR NEXT STORM SYSTEM TO APPROACH AT
    BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. SFC RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE NE WILL SLOW
    NORTHWARD APPROACH OF SYSTEM COMING FROM THE SE PORTION OF THE US.
    CURRENT RUNS ~12 HRS SLOWER THAN EARLIER RUNS SO WILL SHIFT ONSET OF
    PRECIP TO MORE SUN NGT INTO MON MORN...MVG FROM S TO N. CD AIR
    ENTRENCHED OVER THE AREA WILL SEE A MIX OF WINTRY PRECIP. WARM AIR
    DOES NOT PUSH TOO FAR NORTH INTO CWA...SO MUCH OF AREA MAY STAY
    SN/IP FOR MUCH OF EVENT. MDLS STILL UNSURE OF EXACT TRACK WHICH WILL
    PLAY A MAJOR ROLE FOR DETERMINATION OF MAJOR PRECIP TYPE FOR MUCH OF
    THE FA. BUT WILL KEEP MIX FOR NOW SINCE EVENT IN DAY5-6. QPF FAIRLY
    HIGH...SO POTENTIAL FOR SNOW ACCUM IF TRACK MORE SOUTH OF CWA
    VERSUS A WEST TRACK. TAIL-END OF EXTENDED WILL HAVE REGION SEEING
    FIRST CD SHOT OF WINTER SEASON. STRONG RIDGE FROM CENTRAL
    PLAINS/ROCKIES WILL MV SLOWLY EAST TOWARDS THE REGION. AHEAD OF IT
    CD CANADIAN AIR ON N/NW FLOW WILL WORK SOUTH OVER THE AREA TUESDAY
    INTO LATE WEDNESDAY. MDL 850 TEMPS COMPARED TO YESTERDAY ATTM A BIT
    WARMER BUT CLOSE TO -20C AT TIMES. WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER
    AREA DURING THIS TIME AND DECR CLD COVER...WILL A DEGREE/TWO UNDER
    HPC GUIDANCE. REMNANTS OF UPPER TROUGH SWINGING THRU EASTERN CANADA
    MAY PROVIDE SOME CLD COVER...ESPECIALLY FOR NORTHERN VT...BUT WITH
    CD AIR IN PLACE...MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED SO WILL ONLY KEEP IN SL
    CHANCE FOR --SW.
