Nice share. Thanks

I love warm summer weather but falling snow will always be my favorite weather phenomena. Always.

In the NYC forum, SACRUS has a daily post of historical weather events for each day. Today there is an entry ... 1802 - A great snowstorm raged along the New England coast producing 48 inches of snow north of Boston. Three large ships from Salem were wrecked along Cape Cod. (David Ludlum)

Feb 22-23 2026. Nailed it.

Normies are gonna be so sick of winter lol

Yes it was a solid event here and it beat any of the storms I saw in my years in RI (2019-21).

maybe we can get a couple more storms before the big melt.. hopefully we get some heavy rain and very warm temps to cause some big ice jams this year

We are all a bunch of snow weenies that wish winter would never die.

Yeah, Springfield MA is barely “East Coast”. Kidding but kind of not kidding in terms of sensible weather.

Idk, drugs are pretty great in moderation. 05z - final PWM - 4.8"/0.45" - depth 13"

long shot but still need to watch Friday..AIGFS also came north

Ai euro has 1-3 for this week

You know, I distinctly remember feeling that way after the December 2003 storm ended. I didn’t even live in this area but I was a young teenager down south (MD to be exact) with a foot of snow in his yard in early December, and was sad looking outside in awe and wondering when I’ll see something like this again so early in the season. Ive felt that way after a few other big rare storms but that one stood out. I think now that I’m older I’ve seen enough of them that I’m not as emotional but I completely get it. I’ve also had similar feelings when a really good winter came to an end, and the last of the snowpack melted away to remind me of what has ended.

Best pic of the thread!

Gefs includes this week and next week

You’re out of your mind dude. You sound like a 6 year old who just his toys taken away I think everyone would appreciate if you just shut up and stopped posting for a while

Friday’s storm provided a healthy shot of snow and liquid equivalent to the snowpack, but Saturday was fairly busy at Bolton Valley and by the end of the day a lot of terrain was tracked and packed. That got me thinking about another sidecountry day, so yesterday my older son and I headed up to the resort with that in mind. Last Sunday we spent much of our time in the sidecountry terrain on the north side of the resort, so yesterday I decided to introduce my son to some of the sidecountry terrain on the south side of the resort. One way to access the drainage to the south of Timberline below Goose Pond is to park at the Timberline Base, ride the lifts to the top of Vista Peak, and then traverse out on the Woodward Mountain Trail and drop in. We brought skins and backcountry gear to give us the freedom to do some extra exploring out toward Woodward Mountain, but if you know the terrain and are conservative with your traversing, you can also treat it as standard sidecountry on your downhill gear. The quality of the powder was very similar to what we experienced on Saturday – a lot of the recent storm had snow that fell in the 6 to 7% H2O range, but there were a few inches in the 10-11% H2O range at the end that gave it some medium density. Overall, the powder was surfy and dry, and deep – it’s very bottomless out there in the backcountry, and fat skis and powder baskets are a huge help getting around, whether you’re skiing or simply traversing. With the high elevation snowpack depth at around 7 feet in the Northern Greens, if your ski pole doesn’t gain any purchase and punches through some of the thicker layers in the pack, it will simply disappear into the void until your arm stops it. Another sign of the deep snowpack at the tall, multi-foot snow pillows that surround you in areas protected from the wind; they really give you a sense for how much the snowpack has been building over the past few weeks. The only knock I can make against the quality of the powder right now is in areas below roughly 2,000’ on southerly aspects. There’s been enough warming there to add a melt crust to the surface and degrade the powder. That’s the downside of skiing on the north side of that Goose Pond drainage as one gets farther into the spring. One way to avoid that is to ski on the other side of the drainage below Bone Mountain, but access and return to the resort from that side of the valley is much less convenient and requires more of a backcountry commitment. Thankfully all the powder at the head of the valley where there are a lot of great ski lines is in excellent shape Although the south side of the resort certainly doesn’t have the level of backcountry skier traffic that the north side does, we did encounter some backcountry activity out there. On our return traverse using one of the VAST trails, we came upon a group of combined snowmobiles and snow bikes cruising along in the deep snow, and they looked like they were having a blast. The 4x4 Center Driving School at the Timberline Base isn’t in operation this winter, so Bolton Valley is using their upper lot for additional parking, and that makes and excellent spot for returning from the VAST trails and back to the resort.

Ukie is also nice for next week

Gefs is enthused next week

I booked this trip to Manhattan back in November...can't believe I got lucky enough to arrive the day before this event. I will say, in midtown Manhattan, I don't think I ever saw blizzard conditions. Windy and heavy snow yes (obviously), but not sure I saw true dictionary definition blizzard. At any rate, seemed to be ~21", 54th @ Broadway. Most I've seen since Boxing Day 2010 when I lived in South Jersey near Philly. Central Park was a full blown ice rink around Gapstow and the Pond. The hills turned into controlled chaos, people inching down sideways, others attempting a confident stride and immediately regretting it, arms flailing like cartoon characters before gravity won. Every few seconds you’d hear that half gasp half laugh as someone caught themselves at the last possible second, or didn’t. Strangers were bracing strangers, forming these temporary alliances just to survive a 30 yard descent. Suits, tourists, joggers, kids, all equally humbled by basic physics. And somehow, with the skyline framed through snow loaded branches and the lamps glowing against that deep blue dusk, the whole slippery circus felt kind of perfect. Also, my bagel adventure this morning while it was still coming down https://youtu.be/QcteDqxqOUk?si=zieMQ98iKXcDUyic

Watching the radar over Delaware last night I noticed "yellow sparkles" showing up with some of the most intense and persistent snow bands. They matched up well with the areas of highest reported snow, especially the Seaford to Laurel area.

Updated Public Information Statement with Snowfall Totals and Wind Gusts is up: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=box&issuedby=BOX&product=pns Heh - gusted to 65 MPH here as well in the AM. Looks like my 30 burger holds up to the spotters in my area. Amazing.

GFS and CMC give us snow early next week. We're long overdue for a March snow event, so hopefully it'll happen. Since we're having a cold/snowy winter this year, I think there's a good chance that we'll break our March snow drought.
