1.5" of snow and sleet here. No freezing rain and warming rapidly - just reached 28. Really haven't seen much freezing rain here (when I was in Bartlett it seemed to happen every other week lol)

Damn I can see diamond dust in the sun rays. What an awesome spot

 Thanks. Nice shot with the sun behind it!

BTW - not diamond dust today, just some leftover occasional flakeage

1.25" of fluff overnight. Good for the soul, pretty irrelevant for the pack

It sure does over a whole season, Pads the total.

Yep. It also keeps the snowpack looking fresh and the trees covered which I really enjoy. The cloudiness can be annoying though.

Haha yes. Keep in mind, it's pretty light most of the time. But the nightly inches do add up. Surprisingly moderate tonight, about 3/4" so far

Lol. Hey they gave us a nice surprise!

Light snow here too lol. Was in the forecast yesterday then disappeared today. But it showed up anyways

Drove down to Logan to pick up my brother, and wow. I did not realize how bad things are. There's basically no snow to speak of south of the notch, and the temperature went from 34 in Boston to -1 when I got home. It's like different worlds. It's hard to believe it's the end of December. I can definitely understand why so much gloom in here. 

Some "heavy" pixie dust falling. Can see it through my windows. -1

That is quite the view dude!

It's from one of our properties, Mount Madison. Gorgeous house! Was running around doing pre arrival checks . Perks of the job, you get to enjoy the scenery (but you know ALL about that!)

Merry Christmas weather obsessed peeps! Beautiful day with sparkling fresh snow

Keeps snowing but never goes above 2" lol

From the Jewish poster on the NNE forum I wish all you a Merry Christmas!

32F  with a few mood flakes falling

PS  Alex,  about the mystery precip.  Could the snow guns with the right conditions carry the tiny snow molecules a couple of miles in your direction?  I'm only guessing but usually when they make snow you have a W, NW,NNE flow.  Could you have had light E or SE winds to carry anything from the slopes to you???

Nah, I don't think so. If it were just around my house, maybe - but it starts a couple of miles down, that seems way too far, especially given prevailing wind directions as you say

Light snow falling, btw

Maybe just cold enough for a little diamond dust. -13C seems a little warm for that, but I guess it’s possible with the right nuclei...especially if there are a lot of smoke related particulates trapped below the inversion on a rad cooling night.

Ah, interesting. I thought it had to be well below 0 for it. Cool to know

So tonight I had a first experience of the mystery precip. On my way back from Bethlehem, I noticed flakeage in the headlights starting about 2 miles from Bretton Woods. Very very fine, doesn't really accumulate. It's pretty warm, 8 F, so I don't think it's angel dust but it's also not upslope - there is not a cloud in the sky. Snow guns at the resort are cranking but it seems too far for that to travel 2 miles with no wind? No idea. 

The skiing today was surprisingly good (on groomers, of course!)

Some light snow continuing this morning. Pretty putrid GFS run though. Eek. Euro certainly better. BTV leaning towards rain much more than GYX... Have a feeling given the recent trend that they're going to be right, but still time to change. Gotta feel for the holiday vacationers. 

Eek. Snowing moderately now but not sticking. 34.5

How did Alex and PF do? I’m sure they have plenty still. 

I feel I scored a major victory in that we didn't flood. Solid pack in my backyard, 5" at the stake, but still 42F

Close to 55 here. Incredible. River is very close to its bank. 

51.8 here. We're roasting.
