It also snowed lightly down here all evening.  Got about 1/2" more.

The front range of the Northern Whites are sure doing their job this morning.  I will take the sunshine 

Funny - I was telling Aaron yesterday that the forecast was calling for sunshine but the AFD said the storm is in the Gulf of Maine, and I told him - I doubt we see sunshine with a storm in the GOM. And in fact, the flurries have now turned to light snow again, nice fluffy flakes. Maybe a break tomorrow ahead of the next storm? Nice to see a good winter stretch for a change. I'm headed to Jamaica in late February; would love to have a few good weeks of winter till then, then flip the switch lol

A nice gentle snowfall continuing. I assume it’s now upslope? 

Skiing today was amazing. Dropping (droppin’?) ropes everywhere. Glade West open again. Most terrain this season by a large margin. Snowing more lightly but still snowing.  Sweeeeeet

Wow, snow has really picked up. Let's keep it up and open up some glades...

About 3” here; 7” at the stake. Surprisingly dense

Heavy snow.  1” past 45 in or so.   Enjoy it while it lasts as it should be quick up here.
 

Similar here, about an inch. Still coming. Was very light at first but then it really got going. Temperature dropping too, 27

Ripping

Actually snowing pretty well now

Light snow started here, 30F. Only expecting a few inches so they’d better not delay or cancel school lol

GYX seems rather unenthusiastic for snowfall over our area, only 2-3” and no mention of any upslope. I guess it’s better than nothing but on a regular year that’s just an overnight flurry lol

Nice, how much snow do you think they had? And in the North Conway area in general?

Thought to say - maybe 6” or so natural base? It definitely feel wintry even though it’s a thin pack

Yep, this is Walter the Shiba. He’s just  4 months old right now 

Adorable 

Skied Cranmore today. Got rough in the afternoon but still had fun. Love the vibe of the small, old fashioned New England ski hill. So different from Bretton Woods. Weather was a bit bizarre - surprisingly warmer than here. Was 20F at my house and 31F when we got there. Stayed constant all day there, “warmed” to 22F here. Usually don’t see this much difference or it’s in reverse due to CAD. A few on and off snow showers and some brief light freezing rain. Surprisingly nice views from such a small mountain, but hard to capture in a photo.

I wish we constantly had storms like this just throwing precip back at us. Just off and on snow showers for eternity.

That’s call a northwesterly flow for us. But y’all say its fake 

Similar here. Beautiful

I woke up at 430 this morning and looked at my phone trying to get some idea of the weather and saw Alex's post about the new webcam so clicked and it was snowing like crazy and thought to myself, it's been probably doing that all night, I'll cross country ski up to Zealand Hut tomorrow. In reality, there is probably two inches of snow composed of 1.5" of liquid equivalent on the road- strange, it made for pretty good skiing! I had to take my skis off shortly after passing the parking lot at the end of the road due to lack of snow. There is between 8-12" of snow up around the hut. A nice day - 13 miles round trip. Funny, met a bunch of folks who brought touring skis.

No ice on Winnisquam or Meredith Bay. There are fishing houses on Waukewan and there were people fishing out on Wicwas this AM. Nice to feel like it is winter.

The front 5 at Cannon are pretty grim looking from the road - no snow on Paulie's or Avalanche. 

I noticed that the camera is deceiving at night. Snizzle looks like heavy snow. Only got 3/4” in the last 24 hrs or so. I have 4.5” at the stake but it’s cement

Alex,  where exactly is that cam?  Not at your house but on one of your properties?

Yep. I’ll keep it vague for privacy reasons

Wasn’t expecting the snow today… nice!

I’m not a huge egg fan but I’ve always liked Canadians.

I feel Canadians are like puppies. You’ve gotta be a serial killer not to like them.

Definitely feeling like a win after bracing for 7-10 days of grass.  We keep finding ways in a shitty winter to keep the grass covered, some snowbanks, etc.

Yes. And the sticky snow that’s falling tonight really changes the vibe - the trees look really pretty. Great for those coming up for the weekend. 

Ended up as a net gainer here, which I wasn't expecting. Didn't melt very much during the day, although it became VERY water logged. Back to snow now. Actually not a bad base for the ski area, after all. 

New webcam for Bretton Woods, facing the ski slopes: https://www.brettonwoodsvacations.com/webcam/

We have a new camera overlooking the Bretton Woods West Mountain ski trails:

Just set up our new camera! Can't see much now other than the flurries and roof, but during the day you can see the Bretton Woods ski slopes (mostly West Mountain, the left side is covered by some large trees.
