    Those Tblizz skis do look like the skinny 210s I remember from high school in the late 90s. Growing up my friends dad was a sales rep for Nevica ski gear in the 80s. His basement was literally filled wall to wall with merchandise on racks---it would practically blind you when you went down there...lol

    Can see why Phin left MD and made bee line for NH. Forgot what disaster winter was in the Mid-Atl last year. .3" in Philly..ouch.

    That's the best viewing anyway, so long as they didn't drop too low, could be OK. I checked 2 PWS nearby at 1800ft and 2K, both didn't get below 38F last night. Guess next 2 weeks will tell us. 29F/30/30 here past 3 nights.

    Yea, good question. Speaking locally, maybe just hope some of the mid slope and higher hillsides(1000-2500ft) where many of the maples are aren't radiating and staying a bit warmer? No idea, but this is legit fall airmass, prob pretty chilly even hillsides.

    NEK starting to pop some reds and oranges..

    Got to 29F here. Some other spots radiate better then me down the hill 400-500', maybe some 26-27F readings locally.

    Woodford VT reported 62" during that 5 day stretch. Savoy Mass 57". Mitch would have been buried in his current spot if he was there, probably near 60" also I would guess. I wasn't here obviously yet, but I heard it was 16-22" with a lot of rain mixed in here in the low lands of SVT.

    Yea l, agree. I found the post a few years back, I don't know where it is now, but I remember the person mentioning it wasn't a drift and it was "on the level" or something like that.

    I recall one of the posters in the Mid Atl forum saying they had a 55" depth, which is almost hard to believe in MD outside of Garret County. But then again, we are talking Parrs Ridge which peaks through the clouds..lol. I don't think I had higher than maybe low 30s as peak depth over the border in PA where I was living at the time. (Western Philly burbs)

    Its no match for the infamous Parrs Ridge..aka the Himalayas of Northern MD..lol

    Well, I know the 3k NAM certainly hates that area. March 93 could be coming up the coast and it would still print out .1-.2" qpf..ha. It does it with every storm.

    65-70" average in Whitefield? Wow, that seems low, but you would know better than me ORH was low 60s and now upper 60s average now right?
  13. backedgeapproaching
    Yep, exactly the elevation I was thinking and Alex confirmed. Inside looks awesome too.
  14. backedgeapproaching
    Yea, it may be in HIE, but looks like some decent elevation. Killer views right there.

    80 years of reliable COOP data here and this will be driest Sept back to 1940 if pattern holds with no rain. Driest was .62", currently under .50". Hopefully something pops up in the next few weeks.
  16. backedgeapproaching
    Feel like its going to be an earlier peak this year compared to the previous years, especially with the upcoming forecast of chilly to cold nights and sunny cool days. Seeing some hints of red starting to turn higher up even all the way down here.
  17. backedgeapproaching
    Looks like the western us smoke has made it over here..very milky sky out.
  18. backedgeapproaching
    Took out my ACs as well today. Wasn't the Herculean task some NE CT posters make it out to be..ha.
  19. backedgeapproaching
    Looking at a topo map, looks like you could be in a decent radiating spot, elevated 1200-1300ft but in a slight depression surrounded by higher peaks what looks like on all sides.

    Phin will be banished to the NNE thread by mid Jan. SNE will get sick of all his snow obs and will start hearing crickets on his posts a la PF when he posts upslope radar screen shots..ha. Ray will chime in with his "nobody cares about snow in deer labia and moose knuckle" comments to confirm the banishment.
  21. backedgeapproaching
    Yea l, I saw your pics, that is really brutal man. Summer rain was probably close to average here, maybe a smidge below. There were some dry spells in summer where there was some browning, but nothing like that. 5 years here lawn has never really gone fully dormant. Always seems to be enough timely rain. We get those hudson valley tornado alley cells that die out and just rain here..lol
  22. backedgeapproaching
    Heavy Sept lawn..been dry even up here though. Less then .50" for the month and nothing in the pipeline precip wise it seems..hopefully the cool weather keeps it green.

    My wife grew up here (SVT) and has really no interest in weather or really any sense of climate norms, but the one anecdotal thing she always mentions is how warm it always is around apple picking season (mid- late Sept) now and how when she was kid in the 1980s she recalls wearing fleeces and jackets. Recently it seems like its always shorts and tees and swarming yellow jackets with side dish of back sweat.
  24. backedgeapproaching
    Looking ay the most reliable COOP in SVT (Peru) snowfall is almost identical for the 1980s and 2010-20. Average snowdepth is a little higher in the 1980s. Interestingly, 2010-20 is the only decade without a max depth over 40". Records started in the 1940s.

    They replaced the sensor over the summer (July 17th)and its had a noticeable cold bias since then. Its a known issue, not sure if/when they will be adjusting or changing it.
