I used to get that anxiety as well. I think part of it is related to having lived in SNE, where building a true snowpack is challenging and seeing a snowpack getting hammered by rain is heartbreaking. Up here, most of the time a week after a major cutter your snowpack is building back up, trees are covered, and you pretty much forget about it. As a skier, your point about liquid also matters - especially for those of us who love the glades. Of course, significant cutters can do a lot of damage (I fully expect our glades to close after this weekend), but that too is part of life. Even if they close, chances are they will be back open quite soon

Focus on today, Diane.

While the snowpack at my house is only 12", the skiing these past few days has been fantastic. Met a few guys that were surprised by the conditions, they said Killington yesterday was a sheet of ice. I wonder if they've been left out of the "daily inch". Some pics from the Woods

2.3" so far this morning. Another nice snowy day! Snow stake is at exactly one foot.

That's what you get for going on tropical vacations (or SE Mass, same thing).

Yep, the daily snows continue. Love these patterns. The scenery is just awesome.

The snow has picked up again tonight. So pretty. I love these days where it just doesn’t seem to want to stop.

For the crappy pattern, beautiful snow day today! Another inch or so in the past few hours

I had never thought about it that way... brilliant! So true.

Lol I just made a similar comment on the train wreck thread for the weekend threat. People somehow talk like NNE has been having a banner year while I think relative to average SNE has been doing much better.

And the weenies are all "oh yeah and it's definitely happening because the models have been so steady with this"

Winding down after another 0.7", making it 1.1" for the day.

Really, you could get rid of storms and give me a moist NW flow all winter and I'd be just fine! Another half inch tonight, stake up to 10"

It's pouring snow again

Measured 0.4" from the daytime stuff. Light hi steady snow continues

1.8" overnight, 3.2" total from the ULL/upslope part of the storm. Unlike the previous cement, very scenic way to start the year!

Squalls to start 2020. 1.4" so far

Hard to measure but 3.5" seems a good average for the overnight plus daytime yesterday stuff, bringing the total to 5.9". 8" at the stake

Lol. Wakey Wakey!

2.4" overnight. Dense snow but no sleet or freezing rain. Currently moderate snow 25/15

I know what Darwin would say...

Thank you all. It's a struggle. I want to let him be and grow confident and unafraid and do the crazy things I've never had a the courage to Do, but at times the price you pay is a giant heartbreak. I still struggle with the memory of seeing him screaming in pain, I'd never seen him like that and it was agonizing. But he's doing much better and yesterday he had his smile back which meant the world. Thank you all for your support!

Yuck. I hate ice. And fortunately we don't get a whole lot of it in my spot. Merry Christmas to all. Been a rough few days - my 5 yo broke a femur skiing on his first day of school breaj, had to be sent to Dartmouth for surgery. Came back home yesterday. It's really hard to see a kid suffer so much and be unable to do anything. Today he was in much better spirit, and that was the best Xmas present. And on that note, a solid 5" cover here but just down In Conway it's bare ground. I have to believe a brown Xmas is a pretty rare occurrence in North Conway.
