There was quite a burst of snow mid afternoon when the front came through Burlington; the ground was white within minutes and the area seemed to pick up about an inch.  Accumulations appeared to be a bit less in the Richmond/Bolton area before jumping up again in Waterbury, but it was hard to tell for sure.  Accumulations here at the house were 1.6” snow/0.10” L.E.

In Waterbury we picked up just an additional trace of snowfall after the 6:00 P.M. clearing of the snowboard last night, so the event total for our location remains at 1.6” snow/0.10” L.E.

For the Vermont ski areas along the spine of the Greens, it looks like up to 8 inches of snow fell in association with the frontal passage.  A north to south accumulations list is below:

Jay Peak: 8”

Smuggler’s Notch: 5”

Stowe: 7”

Bolton Valley: 4”

Mad River Glen: 6”

Sugarbush: 8”

Pico: 1”

Killington: 1”

Okemo: 1”

Bromley: 2”

Magic Mountain: 1”

Stratton: 5”

Mount Snow: 2”

Combined mountain accumulations for the Tuesday/Wednesday event and the frontal passage have generally been in the 1 to 1.5 foot range for the Northern Vermont areas.  Jay Peak and Stowe are atop of the accumulations list with 21” and 20” of snow respectively.
