  1. Past hour
  2. .50” and the snowpack held in all undisturbed areas.
  3. ...and that's completely fine by me! January was cold enough!
  4. Looking forward to melting some more of the pack!
  5. Wind season is now November to April - every front seems to be bringing 30+ mph winds now. Colonoscopy all done. About to eat steak and eggs lol
  6. Start the thread then have it locked to increase the snow potential. Worked this storm lol
  7. The past has no influence on the future. Extreme cold suppression depression is over
  8. The latest AO forecast is even more aggressive with the development of an AO+: Given the other forecast teleconnections, this implies that the late February cold shot will likely be short-lived. Temperatures could return to near normal or above normal levels in the Great Lakes Region and Northeast in the closing days of the month.
  9. No it's not. First all of the top 5 nesis storms occurred here on a weekend. The EE rule states that if the Euro and ETA (old NAM) agreed it was a lock. If on a weekend then get ready
  10. I may be wrong but hasn't there been a handful of more snow then forecast events this winter, compared to normal? The delayed winter weather advisory last week, this one doing a bit better, and I think a few others? Rare to have positive busts.
  11. thrilling stuff i had 0.15 but rounded down to 0.1 in anger
  12. Interesting features to the lee of Black Mt. KY and High Knob, VA earlier this AM:
  13. This is incredibly narrow but somebody will get hit good. Won’t lie. I want the bullseye over WXW2. Hope y’all rain.
  14. I was thinking Wednesday that outside of wherever that narrow band of snow sets up probably consists of some very light periods of sleet or freezing drizzle but should be extremely low impact
  15. Our most recent storm brought some snow on Saturday into Sunday, with a couple more inches to top off the midwinter snowpack. It was nice to refresh the surfaces a little, but it certainly wasn’t enough to reset the powder brought by our previous system, which has been getting skied pretty thoroughly after several days and some holiday weekend skier traffic. Our midwinter temperatures have been preserving the snow quite well however, so my older son and I headed up yesterday for a lift-served session at Bolton Valley. We spent most of the outing working the sidecountry to get to fresh snow and did a lot of what my son likes to call “high octane” skiing. It’s not that it’s especially aggressive skiing, but it’s the term he uses for when he ventures into tightly forested spots that most people don’t visit, areas that can be a little more challenging to get through initially. They can still offer great skiing though if the powder is deep and allows your turns to fit the pacing of the tree spacing. And these less frequently visited areas with tighter trees often quickly drop you into areas of open forest that nobody has skied. And that’s how yesterday’s session evolved; we spent most of the first half of our time in the sidecountry on the north side of the resort and used the Wilderness Lift for access. Then we finished off by hitting some of the sidecountry on the south side of the resort that is serviced by the Timberline Quad. The snow has been staying light, dry and bottomless, so as long as you can get to untracked areas, you’re going to be rewarded with fantastic powder turns. On piste, the packed conditions are also quite good, but the snow is well packed at this point with holiday levels of skier traffic. Sunday seemed much busier than Saturday, and I bet that’s because it was a beautiful sunny day for most of it, and people really love to get out when you have seasonable temperatures and sun. Clouds did build in later in the afternoon ahead of the small system that is in the area today.
  16. Not much. This isn’t a huge inverted airmass oozing down…we might see a little more of that on the weekend threats but this one is mostly rain vs snow. Could be a very narrow area of IP and marginal ZR but we’re prob talking like 10-20 miles wide.
  17. Hard to keep most of the sub forum happy with a set-up like this. We watch and we wait. I would still feel better NOP.
  18. Pic of the trees behind the house, looks like they are on fire, lol.
