  1. Disaster in no uncertain terms. Almost 100 percent open to bare spots here. Backyard at 1850’ has a stream running through it. Not that you ever want a hard freeze after, but it would have at least helped the water bars. Guns will go on tnrw afternoon, but after the best start since 18, this is a worst case scenario going into the holiday week. .
  2. 7th warmest over half a month is fishing for stats to show warmth. There’s no doubt the past two years have been brutal in nyc metro, but this isn’t the stat to show it. .
  3. Not gonna lie; it's a disaster for the northern greens as well. Only difference is greater ability to recover faster with upslope, but after the phenomenal start we have had, this one is gonna hurt. I could see them going from almost 100 percent open, to 20 trails...and losing 4 days of snowmaking temps going into Christmas week blows too. Water bars are going to be brutal next week. Need to fake snow our way to a foot into next weekend to fix this.
  4. Just shut off, but going to be another spectacular day…feel bad for all those people seeing pics of all this snow going into holiday week and it’s going to be wiped out Monday. Need another miracle save, but I think we’ve used them up for the season. .
  5. Might be another 2-3 from tonight if you would include it in the same storm. It was very localized coming up 242 where before the dip (about 3 miles from the base) it was just flurries, to a steady light, sometimes moderate snow here at 1850’. .
  6. About an inch of the fake stuff so far tonight..snowing pretty good right now. .
  7. You called the last one so keep it coming. .
  8. Almost whole mountain open today; though it’s very soft. It’s been an incredible start. .
  9. Some more pics from today..as has been mentioned, the scenery right now is incredible. Almost as good as the early season skiing. I wish I had the talent to photograph like pf and jspin, because there’s some great shots to be had… .
  10. It is still really, really good out there…weird skiing some trails that are always snowmaking and open on natural snow. You have to be on your toes…and this weekend now looking like a net gain and then some; fantastic start. .
  11. I believe it..crazy the trees are still caked how many days later. Shows the weight and water content in these… .
  12. I can see that turquoise paint of the 30 spot when I look outside up towards the sky overhead. Not gonna happen, but pulling half that and a 3rd major out of our ass is impressive. It finds a way this year. .
  13. Love seeing that cold smoke rise when you have those perfect snowmaking temps… .
  14. Read some posts there last week...It's a pretty negative forum. Don't know this, but I get the impression a lot of posters in there grew up post 1995 and forget what Climo is. Average High in EWR on December 1 is still 50.
  15. Jay opening tram Saturday and going 100 percent open except for trails with currently active snowmaking. Earliest I've seen the tram run since 2018. That entire side of the mountain has been untouched. Too bad winds will probably kill it at some point Sunday, but tram laps in early December really speaks to what kind of start it's been this year.
  16. Net gain? or too big a warm push prior to the flip? Ton of water in that pack right now.
  17. Wait....You're not optimistic that will change for the better? What?
  18. It's got some work to do to become our Christmas Blizzard I'll admit; but it will get there.
  19. That would probably save a lot of the pack and maybe even be a net gain above 2000' as modeled...You would toss?
  20. Wow...Great week for you. I'm not back up til Thursday, but I would sneak down there just to hit Upper Starr and Tres if I was.
  21. Might have done a little better than up here. Looks like about 6" of paste at 1850'...Mountain is claiming 7-9 up high. Could score a bit more into today though as temps drop. Vermont better light it up the next three days on these optimal temps with the way next week looks.
  22. What's the lag time when the mjo moves into those phases? My understanding is 8-1-2, the higher the amplitude, the better? So once we see it enter phase 8, is that a cold loading, or change in heights near Alaska? No way to sugar coat days 5-15 even in NNE. It looks like Torch Tigers wet dream. Maybe the resorts sneak a couple cheap snows, but looks pretty warm.
  23. Snowing solidly at Stratton from the base at 2000' all the way up.
