All Activity

My colleague Mark arrived at UVM yesterday for some work in the proteomics core, and after we spent the morning in the lab getting some samples ready for analysis, he was wondering if I wanted to head out for a backcountry tour at Bolton Valley. Mark is a big Nordic skier, but he also likes to get out for some Telemark skiing from time to time, and with current conditions around here, this was definitely one of those times. He knows Bolton’s Nordic terrain quite well, but I was more than happy to bring him on a fun tour through some of Bolton’s classic backcountry glades. I would probably have been heading out for an afternoon tour anyway, even if he hadn’t asked – the conditions are just so good right now that it’s simply a great time to get out for turns. We headed up to Bryant Cabin as I’d done yesterday and took a slightly different descent that brought us through the Gotham City area and down to the Telemark Practice Slope. The resort was reporting another few inches of snow since yesterday’s snow report, so in terms of conditions, just tack on another few inches to the depths that were out there yesterday. We were still touring in the 2,000 – 2,700’ elevation range, and my depth checks on the powder were hitting 30 inches. Skiing in powder in that 2 to 3-foot range is definitely a different experience than your typical 1-foot powder day, and fat skis are undoubtedly your friend on days like these. Mark was on mid-fat boards with 85 mm at the waist, and they did fine, but he could see the benefits of having 100+ mm skis with more rocker for the depths of powder we were dealing with. The weather was great today, with temperatures in the mid-20s F and light snow falling for much of the tour to keep that snowpack topped off. Being a Saturday, the Nordic & Backcountry Network was busier than yesterday, but there are still tons of untouched lines out there in most glades, and we’ve got another system affecting the area tonight that could add accumulations of another inch or two.

Nice. Congrats brother.

SN+ here in Northwestern HoCo. Just hit the 2” mark. ⛄️

Walking through the hood. It is so amazing. Christmas lights and snow. Doesn't get any better. Although I am sure my neighbors are like wtf is this guy doing.

coating on grass and cars and the neighbors left their Christmas lights on—so pretty.

Big snowflakes and a good amount of snow is falling. Still 32.7 degrees, so the main places with snow are grassy areas and elevated. Everything is coated now, and I walked out to slushy roads and sidewalks due to the rates.

WSW expanded to Middlesex

Web cams from the plateau show it’s really coming down in some locations .

Snowing beautifully, western Toms River / Manchester. 32 now. Upgraded to WSW just now for 4-6.

I think you passed me coming up to Sam's Gap tonight. How do you like our ski resorts new lighting? Lol[emoji41] Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

About 2” here with moderate snow

Hrrr seems to be winning this one so far. Still a ways to go. But it was basically the only model that gave me this snowglobe at this point. Time for a jebwalk. Might be a while until I get another one.

I am just North of that yellow band that on the sweat side of 270. For it starting a bit much has filled in.

2"

Light-moderate snow here. Just shy of 2”. Hoping those heavier bands make their way towards me soon. Edit: there is a 2.7” report half a mile from me. That seems at least 1/2” too high.

Well at least with this current band it looks like Parr’s Ridge is going to cash in- not surprising. Hopefully more areas will get in on the action.

Finally hit 32 here. Light snow continues but is finally sticking to all surfaces. Streets are now fully covered.

But i dont agree with what that Paper says in general what is going on now,you can still have a CCKW or the MJO to cause the AR into Cali,let alone the jet steam,to say nothing is related to the ENSO is nothing but bull shit to an extent..lol

33, light snow

As of 12 am, we have light snow with 0.3" on the ground (all surfaces covered) and it's down to 33F.

At midnight, here in Carlisle, it continues to snow lightly, but steadily. The temperature has hung out around 32.7 for most of the evening which is preventing the paved street and sidewalks from completely covering over. As of midnight I have recorded 0.5" of new snowfall. This also records a storm total of 0.5". I melted down the snowfall so far and have measured 0.08" of liquid as of midnight. The temp has dropped 0.5 degrees in the past 30 minutes and is now standing at 32.2 degrees F. Almost every model has given me between 1.5" and 2.0" of snowfall. The canadian has been the only model that has pushed the 2+" line off to my northwest. So, it will be interesting to see how things pan out in the morning. Getting a solid 2" would be great, but it's hard to complain over just 1.5" when this has been modeled for me for many runs now. Good luck to all. I hope those that got gipped out of our last storm can take home the prize.

We're on the board. 0.1" as of midnight. 32⁰ Exit off the Sunken Meadow for 25a East is completely snow covered. North bound parkway was starting to cover on the north side of overpasses. That little extra shade during the day makes a difference.

Light snow here in Brick. Only sticking to cars and wooden steps so far. Hopefully that band to my south over Toms River lifts north.
