  1. How do you know that the forecast is “CRAP” or incompetent? Until the storm is already over, I don’t see how you have room to judge them like that. Especially since you haven’t given your own thoughts.
  2. Tuesday morning it just crushes the area. Definitely some MECS totals in play.
  3. I saw a coating on top of what fell yesterday. I don’t think it was 3/4” but I probably missed a few tenths.
  4. Ended up with right around 3”. It’s good to see winter making a return after weeks of boredom.
  5. It’s been coming down these past few hours. 2.5” and counting.
  6. Snow has gotten heavier. Very nice scene outside.
  7. Awesome. Hopefully that soon comes my way.
  8. Light snow just started. Radar looks good just to my west.
  9. That is quite an epic look. I saw my first New England HECS years before moving up here. I think I'm due for another
  10. I want to believe the Canadian models, but I’m thinking it will be around 2” IMBY.
  11. Wildcat has excellent views of Mt Washington on a sunny day, some of the best in all of New England, so for that reason alone I think it’s worth a trip some day. But for now it makes sense to stick to the Greens especially if they’re getting consistently buried.
  12. I'd imagine snow tires are essential especially where you live. I've driven with my regular all season tires on a few powder days in VT and NH, and I've struggled with traction a number of times especially when rates were heavy. It's not worth the stress.
  13. Sounds like that definitely compensates for their lack of snowfall. I've gotta make a trip there one day. The pics I've seen are breathtaking and it seems to be a very widespread favorite. Since I don't have the IKON pass, SR might even be worth the lift ticket prices after a good snowstorm.
  14. Wildcat was pretty good this past weekend. Not ideal but much better than a few weeks ago. Lots of very good runs, especially higher up. I've never been to Sunday River, though I hear a lot of good things about it including from you. Does SR really only average 150"?
  15. I will say that my trips to Stowe last year had much better conditions than Wildcat, but I am biased because those trips happened to be the two best weekends of the season, both with double digit totals of fresh powder.
  16. What are Wildcat’s weaknesses compared to better mountains? I’m relatively new to New England skiing so it helps to know what to look for.
  17. I got myself snow tires. My car doesn't do great with all-seasons when there's +SN. Too high of a risk for me.
  18. But going into February, it seems like the EPO craps out badly based on nearly all the latest ensembles means. Meanwhile the NAO seems surprisingly persistent, but I don't know how much that helps with the MJO at the very worst phase.
  19. With this ridiculously warm base state, 2015 feels like it was many generations ago. It's like we've gotten 50 years of warming in the span of 5 years.
  20. Wildcat was so much fun yesterday and even today. Much better than a few weeks ago. The storm was very elevation dependent, and I saw a huge difference between 800' in Gorham, and 1500' around Pinkham Notch.
  21. If it turns out anything like that then I might consider using some vacation days. After this past weekend I can’t get enough of snow and mountains.
