  1. I’m not sure. Franconia also got mostly rain, and they’re not too far. Must be something with the nuance of the wind direction vs mountain ranges to our south
  2. I think it’s even more impressive that an area so prone to downsloping as mine got 12”. That front end meant business, and the cold air hung on remarkably well
  3. Amazing gradient here. Goes from a foot in Bretton Woods to a sloppy inch in Carroll less than 5 miles away
  4. LOL! Hey, we should get some credit for it being already all shoveled. This stuff is heart attack material - but if you don't do it now, it's not gonna be fun later
  5. Warmup was short lived, changing back to snow here. All in all, a great storm and a nice net gainer of heavy base snow
  6. About a foot here, but getting compacted down with the rain and warm temps. Wild evening last night though
  7. I agree. Even if we wake up to grass, this storm is a winner in my book. Just awesome to watch. Not to drive in though @#NoPoles
  8. I’ll need an explanation of that It is bizarre, temperature steady and heavy snow but there’s a bunch of 4-5000 footers in the direction the wind is coming from
  9. Definitely no sign of downsloping yet in spite of the wind. I don’t understand why sometimes we do sometimes we don’t with the same wind direction
  10. It’s like full on blizzard out there. Wasn’t expecting that
  11. lol. And some of us DO live there
  12. Pounding like I haven’t seen in a while here too
  13. Only 5” or so on the ground, and who knows if that will be there by morning… hopefully that will change soon though!
  14. Only light snow here but it’s absolutely miserable with 24F, gusty wind, and snow blowing everywhere
  15. Cutters are hard for us, other than the fact that we still usually end up with decent cover from the follow up upslope. We’ve had some really “good” cutter for pack building but they seem to be a thing of the past. That said, GYX sounds optimistic.
  16. True - and admittedly I think of Bartlett, where I used to be, as North Conway. North Conway proper suffers from low elevation
  17. I'd say if there's one place that does well in cutter it's Conway. They CAD like nobody's business. I don't know much about Jay other than the few times I've been there and witnessed what they called 8" of snow that were really a dusting that my wipers could remove in about 2 strokes
  18. Awesome day today. I have low expectations for Wednesday at my location with SE wind, but we’ll see. We’ve had “good cutters” before that helped build a strong base, just not recently
  19. About 3” of upslope overnight, moderate fluff still falling
  20. It could go either way. Some cutters have been great to get glades and steep terrain open - the heavy wet snow makes for a great base, and up here it’s usually followed by upslope to create a nice layered “heavy bottom fluffy top”. Of course if the rain is heavy or very warm and all the snow gets washed off, it’s no bueno
  21. Actually great conditions on the groomers today
  22. I remember the first several years I lived here we’d often do really well in cutters, with a good dose of snow to start followed by some drizzle and 38-40 degrees followed by a few inches of upslope to top it off. It made for a great base for getting glades open. Lately it seems like cutters just suck lol. Would be great to change that
  23. My heart is growing frail, don’t do this to me. JK I’m starting to care less every year that I’m up here. But snow is nice, and especially nice for my business lol. And flooding is bad, very bad.
