Warmup was short lived, changing back to snow here. All in all, a great storm and a nice net gainer of heavy base snow

About a foot here, but getting compacted down with the rain and warm temps. Wild evening last night though

I dont care if it changes to rain, these snowfall rates I am seeing right now are worth it. It's just silly and presumably early still. 2/14/2007 is the only time that comes close. It's snowing so hard.
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

It’s the inversion level IMO. It dictates how the moisture moves over the terrain.
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
-
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

It’s like full on blizzard out there. Wasn’t expecting that

What's the pack like right now in your area? I'm going up Feb 2nd for the weekend. Looking at models should be a nice pack by then.
Only 5” or so on the ground, and who knows if that will be there by morning… hopefully that will change soon though!

Only light snow here but it’s absolutely miserable with 24F, gusty wind, and snow blowing everywhere

Flickering hope in SNE. It needs to trend better in the next day or so or it’s junk. It does look decent for NNE. They may actually build a decent pack over the next week since some of the spots are going to get a solid net gainer on 1/10 too even though it eventually flips.
Both of those systems would have been nice if they were weak vort maxes but these are both on ‘roids so they are able to overcome some initial confluence.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.

Relatively maybe, but often I noticed there's little snow to preserve there despite the CAD. Of course there are weenie spots in that area, too, but I was just talking Conway/North Conway in general. We used to stay in N. Conway at around 1200' fairly close to Cranmore, the snow pack (when there was some) was noticeably better than in-town below 1000' and surely 500', sometimes double or triple
True - and admittedly I think of Bartlett, where I used to be, as North Conway. North Conway proper suffers from low elevation

should have booked Jay or the loaf, mediocre to bad winters with cutters are rough in Conway <3
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

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

About 3” of upslope overnight, moderate fluff still falling

Snowing and quite windy. 18F

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

GFS coming in colder for the 13th, looks more like euro. Whites crushed on the front end
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

We’ve been on a remarkable string of these epic cutters going back to the Dec 20’ grinch event. It looks like dog shit as modeled but we’re still 5 days away. The mountains to my NW look to net gain and avoid getting washed away like they did 3 weeks ago at least.
Do they? I thought we were looking at 40s and 2” of rain

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
