Snowpack question ... (Stowe, Troy, Jay: how much, area, resort)

NativeFlorida · 02-09-2009, 11:31 AM

We are planning to be in the Jay area around the 20th. I'm hoping the kids get to see some "real" snow for a change. According to various weather sites I've checked, snow depth in the area looks to be in the 15 in. range. Can any locals confirm this, and how much do you think this weeks warming trend will affect this measurement? Thanks.

There will be plenty of snow on Feb. 20. Jay gets lots of snow are you sure they were reported in inches and not feet?

Yeah, I can't see Jay only having 15".

Stowe Resort has had over 240 inches for the season...I would imagine Jay has had a lot more.

I went into the woods today in Troy, next town over, and the snow depth was a minimum of at least two and a half feet. Jay Peak actually received quite a bit of rain the other day, but there is still an insane amount of snow on the mountain.

Thanks all for your responses. I just hope the warm weather you are having this week doesn't cut into that 2 1/2 feet too much.
