0.4 overnight with a few flakes falling. Now let the drought begin

It's snowing the finest snow ever (and I don't mean as in "this is a fine snowfall). it's like diamond dust

Nice views here too. Not quite as undercast though.

That's beautiful PF! So, since nobody cares in the other forums... what's the thinking on upslope this week? Looks like we are mostly out of synoptic threats, but with low pressure heading up the GoM I would think there is some upslope chances. Gyx doesn't seem enthusiastic. Thoughts?

Was out skiing so haven't followed the storm evolution much - plus nobody cares about upslope in the main thread. It stopped snowing for a while but now it's back to SN+. Is this upslope? Radar seems clear which would indicate upslope but the wind seems from the east which is not an upslope direction (also not sure how reliable of an observation that is since there is no wind at all)

Just got back from skiing. It stopped for a while, and now it's back to light/moderate snow, 32/27

It's snowing snowballs lol

3-4 inches here with SN+

We start the New Year with a Winter Storm Warning. That's gotta be a good omen

Don’t forget the sun angle. Been increasing for days.

I agree. Lots of people but it doesn't feel unsafe at all; of course, I never go into the lodge except for the Club (the "bubble") and the new one at top. But even up there the tables are spaced well, I don't see much of an issue. BWC is totally worth it if you can fit it in your budget. I love being able to store my stuff there - and the boots are nice and toasty when you get in them, and while I didn't care of skipping lines before having kids since we always just skied midweek, now with kids it makes a huge difference. They do have a bit of a waiting lists - friends of ours had to wait about a year, but it probably is different now.

Skiing was actually really fun today; fast, slick but not at all icy. Long lines at the lifts though... makes the Bretton Woods Club worth every penny! @PhineasC if you ski BW a lot you should definitely consider it. Too bad that the natural base is so bad. Next week would have been a great ski week otherwise - fresh snow, and perfect temperatures... Hopefully we get enough to open some more natural trails and glades up.

Same here. The overnight snow turned to slop. Just another FU from 2020 lol

Coming down nicely. Looks like about 1/2"

OMG we have a lot in common

Actually picked up fast, already a solid coating on the shoveled area of the deck

Light snow started

Make it 24” for all!!!

Awesomer than the 0Z? Because that was pretty dreamy

Can we start a petition? We need that run to verify. I’m craving the glades! Glade West opened last week but of course closed back up after the rainstorm. Bretton Woods is not the same without the glades... oh and I love snow.

The wind is another fascinating microclimate thing in the mountains. It always does its own thing!

I actually have a good feeling about this one too. Not that that means anything!

They have rain even for us!

The wunderground radar that shows on my PWS actually seems to be the best around here too... NWS' is unusable for upslope

What's with this weather? I thought it was supposed to clear out but it's been getting more and more intense. It's almost like a squall now
