All Activity

Fires in myrtle beach too. Dry as f everywhere. Only gonna get worse.

Mammoth and Palisades are getting demolished by snow; Mammoth has about 10 inches of new freshies with another 14 expected tonight. https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam

With just an inch or two of snow falling here in the valley on Sunday, I hadn’t planned to ski yesterday – even a couple of inches at the mountain wasn’t really going to cut it in terms of covering up the old snow and bare patches on the slopes. But yesterday morning I woke up to 1-2”/hr. snow pounding down, and that called for a change of plans. With 4 inches of accumulation here at our site in the valley, the mountains had almost certainly done quite well, so I was quickly scrambling to get my gear together for an impromptu ski tour. As one would expect with marginal spring temperatures, snow accumulations were quite elevation dependent. Snow was just patchy down at the base of the Bolton Valley Access Road at ~340’ by midmorning when I was heading up to the mountain, but up in the Bolton Valley Village at ~2,000’ there were accumulations of 6-9”. Temperatures were in the mid-20s F, and the new snow was dry, medium weight powder with plenty of liquid equivalent. We picked up ¾” of liquid in the valley, so there was probably 1” of liquid in the snow up high, and it skied very well. It was enough to easily cover low and moderate-angle terrain for bottomless powder turns, but it was almost too much for snow skiing the lower angle slopes. Indeed it was dry enough to let you cruise on low-angle terrain, but moderate angle terrain was the better option. Accumulations increased a bit more with elevation, up to roughly 7-10” in the 2,500’-2,700’ range, but they didn’t seem to get much deeper than that. All in all though, with base snow and most water bars still covered, it was more than enough for a solid April powder skiing session.

Jackson Holliday was pulled in his rehab game tonight with obvious pain in his hand.

Record-breaking start to the severe weather season. Hope we can keep it going through August.

Looks like an active pattern coming, but I have a feeling we're gonna pay the price of limited sunshine again. This is one of the reasons I'm craving temps in the 80s and afternoon storms a few days a week.

Ya, I wasn’t talking about today…was just saying in general for this time of year. But it was cool today, but as you said a nice day.

Maybe we can hike to the top of Mt Marcy and jump really really high to catch some catpaws.

That’s because they’re all dead from gypsies.

I hope so too. We were lucky to go last year too and it was so much fun. Either way, you are going to love it! Looks like the rain might move out by game time!

Tree benders here this afternoon. A bit unexpected to be as strong here as they are today.

Sticky here

So got a measly .2 of precip with the last "severe" outbreak here. Storms have been dodging us like crazy lately. Dust blowing everywhere today with the winds gusting upwards of 40-45. It's brutally dry locally. This incoming line looks to continue the trend.

No, the ground is too warm, and the sun angle is way too high now. Plus, Bobby Martrich's last Weather Weeklies was almost 2 months ago: https://x.com/epawawx/status/2038305484810092870

Got down to 23.2 this AM...recovered up to 53.1 39.6

Models already backing down on amount of precip. I've seen this the last 6 mos. I got a bad feeling about this. I hope this doesn't just fizzle out again.

Beautiful sunny day in the mid 50's before the lake breeze hit, dropping temps down into the 40's. Cool sat shot today of the remaining snowpack.

Low of 50, winds kept up all night. High was a cool 67.

Dewy summer anyone?Why .. yes . yes it shall be.

Well I dont understand why you don’t like to give a nice , friendly , knowledgeable dude credit.. but that’s ok. Nice to see enjoy a deep spring landscape out there despite the cool

Black locust haven't.

Doubt I broke 50 around here but it was beautiful. Correction, 51.2 for a high.

I hate to give you any credit ever but... I did see some oak buds starting to pop today. Maples are coming on well. Gorgeous day and evening.
