Yep...”snow showers” have a whole new meaning up here...I’m used to that phrase for passing flurries; now, it means light it up, upslope is coming. I’ll take snow showers for days.

Kind of cool, tho. Going to sleep watching the flood lights and wake up to 4-6 of fresh powder.

I mean, let’s put Jersey winter in perspective..nice to see a good streak back home, but I think I’ll keep the place in jay.

Def over 30 up here.

I have about 28” in NJ...what’s uncommon this year is the snow on snow pattern setting up, not necessarily the depth at one single moment. It’s great to see down there as it’s been a couple years since there has been a real snow pack mid winter feel, but it still can’t compare to northern vermont. Overall winter retention is completely different. It’s great for the local ski areas tho, who some seasons ski on completely man made garbage most of the year. Even hunter opened all of hunter west for the first time in a few years.. I agree...I root for snow anywhere. I live seeing places that miss for a while score big, especially knowing the averages will come through up north.

That looks like a nice open glade to learn in!

This is turning into a hell of a snow season for me. It seems lately I leave snow up north to drive back to snow in Jersey. And from a weather geek standpoint, two totally different type events producing results. I’ve been enjoying the daily 3-6 refreshers perfect for ski season and tracking the synoptic nor-easters for Jersey snow. A 44.1 spot in nj and 31.8+ in jay is quite the two week stretch, knowing that the globals will miss a lot of our bread and butter.

Dude, I need a photographer like you..can’t compete with these shots..great stuff.

Conditions are the best they have been since the storm late last feb...powder everywhere. Very squally today; it was be puking snow for thirty minutes, then sunny, then foggy, then snowing again. But the woods were deep no matter what. We picked up about 4 last night and another 2-3 during the day. Really enjoyable skiing the past couple days despite imperfect weather.

I’m probably about the same...it is steady right now, but lightened up a bit.

Really picking up now..those echos look like they are heading straight up from just east of btv. Think it could turn into a flood light staring night and a powder morning.

Yeah, it was good stuff...national was fun too; giant soft bumps. Went to spruce early and got off sensation to what seemed like hurricane force winds and thought the day was going to suck, but turned out to be pretty solid. I def need to explore those woods more next time.

Picked up about 2 here today and just started snowing steadily again. Radar looks good for some decent burst heading up this way.

Getting lost in the woods today in pf land. Woods were deep and some barely touched stashes. Foggy up top but overall, great day. Not really sure where this was but i ducked in somewhere off of upper hayride. Tight up top but, opened up somewhat.

I’m hearing 9-11 back at jay this morning. Looks like a great snowy, powder day too. Should be some excellent mid-winter skiing this weekend. Anyone have the Mansfield data? Curious if they have caught up to normal yet? side note: the nne magic followed me to Jersey for these few days. 20-30 locally and a pack that’s not going anywhere fast. Roads still snow covered and light snow again this morning, making 4 straight days. Don’t ever recall that in New Jersey.

Yeah, that’s awesome. Mine are getting the addiction. The windchill was about -20 last Friday and they still couldn’t wait to get at it after school. It’s fun having something i love so much to share with them. skiing for gym class? I feel like I was cheated in high school now.

I think we do even better than that up by me. This weekend should be great powder skiing if the winds don’t get too bad. Wildcat looks like it’s going to be sweet this weekend too. You heading out?

I wish...the kids being back in school full time next year will cut down on the long stretches of time..it will be more long weekends and living through you guys during the week. My wife and I do a couple mid week stretches each year to get some kid free time shredding together, but no more 3 week trips. This year has been special getting so much time up here and really enjoying the area.

Forgot about 87 but I don’t really recall that being over a foot by me..think it was more philly south, but my memory could be wrong. It just doesn’t stand out. 93 was a little over a foot by me. Sleet killed the big totals but there was inches of sleet with that. Two feet is a lot of snow without upslope or lake effect help.

Southern vt looks like it’s going to get crushed for a few hours with that band.

There was one in 83 and I waited until I was 16 in 96 to see another...so I agree, much better in the last 10-15 years..but there are some real dud winters in there too like last year where there was nothing over a few inches. I’m just grateful to have the place up in jay now where it consistently snows and winters looks like winter. 40s and brown grass in Jan/feb is depressing.

That looks like it would bring the Mansfield depth pretty close to normal.

100 percent agree. Plus the whole mountain micro-climate and the outdoor activities in the greens. We are at around 18-20 here so far. Last time we were over 18 was 2016..too long to wait for big snows when we can see that several times a year up in northern Vermont. Still, it was cool to watch those bands sit over me for several hours. Got lucky this year on the timing. Weekend looks much better up north now too. Looks like a great mid winter period coming up.

14 out there now. I know it’s not nne, but as a snow geek, you gotta love 3+ inch an hour rates.

Trust me..I’ll take jay’s 350” a year average over nj’s 35” a year average everyday. Still, always amazed to watch crazy snow bands unfold.
