4.5” here and not really doing anything. The skiing on the other hand is amazing!

Haha not in Jamaica yet. Leaving Saturday so you’re definitely getting that second storm.

Just started snowing. Good because skiing today SUCKED - but mostly because of the crowd. School vacation week FTL

7” at the stake, and snowing cat paws but wet

8” at the stake. 24 more hours of melt?

Pack survived the first assault pretty well, 9” at the stake. Today may be a different story though! My driveway is unusable, I’m hoping  it’s going to melt that down to pavement. Silver lining!

1.7” overnight, 10” at the stake. Going to Jamaica week after next, y’all are guaranteed the best storm of the year

It’s snowing so nicely here. Too bad it has to turn to rain

Snowing fluffy golfball size pillows lol after what looked like sand. Temp down to 23

Bottomed out at -24

Snowing here too at -21. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that

It truly is something out of like a Nat Geo documentary in some arctic village right now (but with more breweries)… the blowing and drifting snow, streetlights filled with small crystals blowing by fast, streets have snow just sifting through them with only tire spaces bare pavement.  Visibility is reduced low but can’t tell if it’s just suspended crystals or blowing snow or icy haze.  Sheltered cars have this film of snow on them, like an arctic dust.

-18F to -22F on my drive home for area temps.

There is definitely something surreal about this cold. It’s nowhere near my record low of -34, but that was with radiation cooling and dead calm wind. This wind makes it feel very different, it feels like a station at the South Pole lol

What does that feel like

Never been dead before but I imagine that’s what death feels like lol

JK. Only been out briefly, it just hurts, especially in the lungs. And the wood deck sounds like it’s about to shatter into crystals when you walk on it

-20 and windy. F- me

Amazing  conditions the past few days. Skiing Wildcat today, it’s sooo nice 

Snowing pretty well, approaching 1”

My lowest was -35 if I remember correctly. Lots of guests with dead batteries. I don’t need that again, ever. 

13” of pure cement here. I freaked out earlier when I saw my dog walk by in the window lol… she’s not that tall that you can usually see her but she can walk on the snow without sinking at all. It took me a minute

Forecast has -24F for a low on Friday. F@@k

“Here” ftw?

Haha yes i suppose. Not unusual to see big differences in upslope or downsloping situations, but the change in temperature profiles was a bit unexpected for this. But could just be that I haven’t really been following this system, I thought it was more of a basic clipper

Just took my kid to a party. The weather around here is crazy. 30 and moderate to sometime heavy snow here. 36 and mixed precip/rain in Twin Mountain, 5 miles away. 28 and zero precipitation in Whitefield! 

Good start to this round of snkw

Not the same here! Today I skied both Bretton Woods and Attitash. The difference was stark. Bretton Woods skied pretty well. Packed but grippy. Glades were firm but doable with a fluffy layer on top. Attitash was an ice rink. All you could hear was the hideous scraping sound; I can’t understand why they couldn’t groom it a bit better. Also surprised by how much of the terrain was still closed in spite of a decent base, and the stupidest thing in my opinion… they’ve been bragging about replacing the a/b chair… but the replacement is a non-detachable, crawl up the mountain at make you wanna jump off the chair speed lift. Why oh why not spend the extra money on a detachable if you’re replacing a lift in 2023??? Don’t get it. But what do I know, I don’t manage ski resorts (granted, neither does the person who managed that ski resort till last year lol). I was just disappointed- and reminded of how amazingly consistently good the conditions are at Bretton Woods vs other area resorts

It drives me nuts. I must be shadowed from the NW. I see so many bands north of me on radar, and even to the mountains to my north from my couch, but it's been flurries. Maybe a 1/4 inch today. 

Yeah that was one of the reasons I chose Bretton Woods over Bartlett/Jackson. I used to stare at the wall of clouds/snow across the valley while we were sunny or get a few stray flurries. I lost on snow retention but I like the persistent, frequent snow. 

Took a while to get going after the lull following the squalls but snowing very nicely tonight

Heavy heavy squalls moving through. Can’t see in front of my window
