Killington, VT 7'' off Mountain. Should be a couple extra inches on the hill. Should be good snowshoeing tonight. Can't wait to get out of work.

Let it snow.

Had a peak gust of 49mph (NW) here on the coast of NJ this afternoon, but bone dry - no snow, no rain, nothing...

KMWN = Mount Washington Observatory

031847Z = 1847 zulu on the 3rd

14017KT = 17 knot winds at 140 degrees

1/16sm = Horizontal visibility of 1/16 of a statute mile (that's the kind we use)

-SGSN = Light snow grains and snow

BLSN = Blowing Snow

FZFG = Freezing Fog

VV001 = Vertical visibility of 100 feet

M11/M11 = -11C Temp and -11C Dewpoint

RMK = Remarks

VRY LGT ICIG = Very light icing

[Charlie]

thats what i thought it was

[Brad]

That is cool. Thanks - this is the first one I have ever understood.

Further translation:

031847Z = 1847 zulu on the 3rd = 1:47 pm Eastern time

14017KT = 17 knot winds at 140 degrees = 20 miles per hour from the south east

1/16sm = Horizontal visibility of 1/16 of a statute mile (that's the kind we use) = 100 meters/330 feet

-SGSN = Light snow grains and snow = Sounds nutritious

BLSN = Blowing Snow = Exhausted interns

M11/M11 = -11C Temp and -11C Dewpoint = +12.2 F, 100% RH
