Absolute dumpage

Snowing pretty hard and very windy, and apparently there’s a rescue operation in progress at Tuckermanns Ravine? Can’t be good

Haaa we were considering Tahoe for school vacation and ended up with Jamaica. No regrets but that’d have been awesome. 

-12.8 at mi casa

It’s currently -3. Doesn’t feel warm

Gfs has been hammering days of upslope starting late week into next weekend for several runs now. Nice signal and position.

Hehe just reading this now. This shows exactly why I'm so cynical when it comes to the accuracy of any forecast

Was out and about doing more "auditing" as it were. Ran into some issues this time that prevented me from getting a good reading in the area. Either the Ammonoosuc River very recently flooded, or the tee boxes at the Mount Washington Resort golf course are routinely cleared of snow. I thought I might be hitting an icy layer, but it turns out I might owe a golf superintendent somewhere an apology instead. At least it would explain my confusion as to why Bretton Woods only had a 4" layer of powder on the ground.

Lol that's the worst possible area to measure snow. The golf course is very windswept, I've seen grass poke through after a 15" storm.

Hmm odd blue sky this morning, we take. 

I remember seeing that a long time ago. Still stuck in never ending clouds and flurries here. It's like Narnia

Unexpected snow today. Always a nice surprise... though the older I get the more I crave summer! It's a loooong winter up here

Was that the experienced hiker who died within the past week?

Yep

Serious snowmobile accident this evening in Stowe resulted DHART flying in.  Think it was in the Moscow area of Stowe.

”There’s not much good that can be said of a high speed snowmobile accident. The only redeeming factor in tonight’s incident is that it took place about 100ft from a helicopter landing zone. Stowe EMS did a fabulous job as first response and Dhart arrived very quickly. Thanks also to Snowmobile Vermont for quickly shuttling responders to the scene.  Speed can sometimes be a good thing.”

Sad. We had an helicopter land right in front of our parking lot at the office and we were wondering if it was someone famous or what else it could be… and then it turned out it was a search and rescue for a hiker who turned up dead. Awful

-15F for a low. Coldest of the season

This winter won't get an F from me. At least we had one week. Absolute stunner today. Wish we would have more...

Agree

It snowed all day here, with a high of 7°. Maybe an inch of accumulation?

Yeah about the same here. Very fluffy stuff. The conditions are incredible, they opened West Mountain today and most of the glades - I feel like it’s some of the best snow we’ve had in years. Feels like skiing on baby powder. 

I wasn’t expecting the moderate snow today… I don’t think it was in the forecast was it?

Hit our low of -5 last night before midnight. Temperatures increased overnight to the current 1.5F. Light snow falling, and lots of skiers in spite of the cold. 

-2. Nippy

-1.5

Pure perfection

Beautiful wood stove.

Thanks. It’s a heating fireplace, a bit of a hybrid. It can actually be hooked up to duct work to integrate with the house heating system. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to heat with something that looks like a fireplaces. 

Can’t see the stake but it’s gotta be over a foot now. Radar looks clear but it’s still dumping. Beautiful evening 

Still ripping here. 

Still coming down hard. What a great storm (and without even a warning)

Wow, beautiful! That’s even more of a dream. Good on you for living it out. YOLO

 Thanks.
