    Nice overrunning storm in the fantasy range.

    I’m just thankful that all my formative years were in those good times. Especially 2003, 2010, 2014, 2016. I’ll never forget those winters, especially if we never get anything like them again.

    Oops… I thought this was the panic thread. My bad. I’ll keep the climate talk there.

    Between the lake cutter upslope and the Monday “event”, there’s a lot of perfectly timed opportunity for the long weekend.

    It just hadn’t progressed as much yet. The 2016 super Nino changed everything.

    Winter 2013-14, where it snowed just about every week, was only a decade ago. Feels like a lifetime now.

    By then it’ll be time to move to Labrador.

    This frame from the 12z Euro made me panic because I just know that in the old climate, this would've been snow for the cities in mid-January.

    Which rainstorm this season with temps in the 30s had a “perfect track” (by 20th century standards)? I think this past weekend storm was probably too close to the coast, but a few decades ago I imagine it would’ve been 3-6” for the cities followed by a changeover, instead of nearly all rain.

    It’s only ever easy for us in the rare historic years where IAD or BWI get 50+. But most of those years are Nino so they’re always the back of our mind

    Last year was an atrocity here.

    I think that was 2022. Incredible event though.

    I see some nice upslope potential for MLK weekend in the mountains @nj2va

    I was at Whitetail yesterday, where they ended up with around 6-8”. It was a rainstorm until I was close to Hagerstown, and afterwards it didn’t take long to change over to heavy snow. Fun times.

    Light snow!

    I considered Elk. I'd like to check it out one day. But I think tomorrow I'll be at Whitetail. Meanwhile southern VT will be getting crushed so hope you enjoy that!

    For me the appeal of Hunter is the fact that I have a pass, and it has 1600' vertical, and a major storm is practically a lock. Also considering Camelback but I don't have the pass for it. Big Boulder and Jack Frost are much less impressive and barely open.

    Hunter mountain is about as far from my location as Snowshoe, and plenty of posters here are willing to drive to Snowshoe. Just sayin...

    It’s a lot drier tho… and likely more realistic than past runs.

    That storm was incredible, especially the upslope. I stayed in Accident and drove all the way to Timberline in some of the wildest blizzard conditions I’ve ever seen, and the skiing conditions felt so much like classic Northern New England. I think the final total was ~18”. I’d love for a repeat.

    Good upslope requires a stronger surface low than what this storm is offering.
  22. Fozz
    If this holds then I’m skinning all the way to the top of Whitetail even if they’re too bone-headed to reopen.
  23. Fozz
    I bet 20 years ago it would've actually looked like that.

    I wish I measured during that storm. It was probably similar in my location, I remember it really coming down hard in the early morning hours with a lot more snow than most were expecting. Then it changed to rain for some time. Then the overnight coastal. Probably the biggest December storm I’ve seen until 2009.

    The sounding just has to be entirely left of the 0C line to be snow.
