Yeah, I’m one of those areas..closing in on a foot already and puking snow. Close to 3” in the last hour. My place up through your old Morris county area looks like ground zero for two feet plus. NJ just told my jay spot..”I see your epic snow, hold my beer”.

As everyone already mentioned, what an awesome day out there. The snow was in great condition and even though it was below zero when we went out this morning, it was the warmest below zero I’ve felt in a long time. Warmed quick with Calm winds and blue sky forever. Just got back to Jersey for a few days racing the snow home. Planned to be home the beginning of this week back in early January and the timing couldn’t be better. Should be a good one down here. Maybe even “epic” for Jersey standards.

-7 with a breeze. Has to be coldest of the season.

That chair spacing has to be the castle rock double.

Gfs looked like elevations would be ok with snow to rain to some backside upslope...didn’t see euro, but heard it was ugly. Hoping backside snows save us.

Yeah, mine are the same...I just don’t think they realize what it’s going to feel like. As long as they don’t let anything get exposed, they might gut it out for a bit, but I was out last weekend and Sunday was rough. Being able to ski back to the condo, I’ll let them have at it, but don’t know if I would drive any substantial distance for them to say they’ve had enough after one run. I’d probably tell them we are not leaving and wait until they look like Audrey from Christmas vacation picking out the Christmas.

-8...my kids have high expectations for after school today...they know how to dress for this and have solid gear, but I guess they don’t last 3 runs.

Don’t know what I like better; your use of the word epic, or assuring us the other day that you are no delicate daffodil or some flower like that.

Snow became steadier as the afternoon went on. Sneaky good day out there. Picked up about 3 throughout the day and looks good for tonight. Can feel the winds picking up.

I’ll take the consistency of the northern greens every day of the week. Love this climate.

How was wildcat under peaks? Maybe this is just a case of vail not caring about this mountain as much as others they bought. Have to think hunter and mt. Snow were what they were really after. Could also be staffing issues this year too. Tough to judge any place by this f’d up year. Hope it gets better. When I venture to nh at some point this season, I think I’m going to take the majority’s advice and try cannon.

About an inch over night and a mix between snow globe flakes and a steadier light snow right now. Should be snowy all day.

Wasn’t up on the mountain today but I’d guess we got around 3”. Probably a little better than you, but not much. Tmrw night looks decent for a quick few inches before some decent cold. Hoping the winds die down for the weekend.

How many runs were open? Wanted to get over there this year, but seems like nothing but problems there. Heard the views alone are worth it and some decent steeps, but not if they are going to be garbage.

I make the dog hold it for at least a half hour in the morning before he tramples on it. Kind of messed up.

Southern vt. and the berks look like they get a decent little thump today compared to up here. Maybe a little upslope thurs into Friday... any thoughts? Certainly, doesn’t look like anything “epic.” Wind did a number on some trails this weekend so could use a little refresh.

The kind of cold and wind yesterday that made your face covering turn to solid ice from breathing...yeah, it was a true hardcore skiers day yesterday. Coolest thing seeing the wind blow the clouds up over certain parts of the mountain. It was like watching upslope in a science experiment. Obviously, not enough moisture to make snow, but it was like watching the process. Can’t really tell, but in the last picture, the clouds are almost shooting straight up over the peak. The first two are from tram side (jfk) where it was completely empty with the flyer on wind hold. Best bet was to duck in the glades and get out of the wind.

All good. I definitely appreciate the data and scientific approach too. It kind of keeps us grounded. I love it up here and even more so, love learning about the micro-climate and the meteorology behind, “wow, it’s snowing again.” I’ll keep the adjectives and pictures coming and you keep the data and science.

I stirred quite the conversation with my choice of adjective, ha. To Phins point, it’s probably getting used to periods like this that don’t happen in the mid Atlantic. Over 40” in a week is unheard of there, but clearly pretty standard in mid winter here. While I know what to expect up here and the averages, when you actually see it unfold, I just kind of through the word “epic” out but I get it. You guys don’t like to oversell what is typical mid winter weather.

I can see how it can happen when it gets so deep. People (myself included) forget the dangers of the mountains in deep winter sometimes. So much respect for the rescuers and patrol for what they do.

I saw a bunch of sleds out last night down near either 105 or 118 (maybe Richford). Not sure the towns around here or the trails, but conditions looked solid. There does trail system in that area along the hi-way, as I see the crossings in a bunch of spots. Looks like tons of fun but I think my wife will leave me if I pick up another hobby.

Awesome conditions out there today, but def snot freezing cold! Freezer was on wind hold all day, but if you knew your way around the mountain and didn’t mind walking a little bit, that whole side was empty and untouched. Winds were getting stronger throughout the day, so I called it quits around 3.

You would know better what is epic and what is not up here...how about “epic” recovery? Don’t think we go from zero to hero better than we did this week throughout 2020-2021.

Valid point...showing I’m a nne rookie...I’ll venture out into the backyard in the morning with snow pants.

Snowing moderately again..prob another 3”. I think I would classify this week as epic here. Just an amazing amount of snow. Yard stick won’t even touch the ground.
