  1. That seems much more reasonable. I also don’t buy Bretton Woods’ “over 200” average” - in the couple of years I’ve been here we’ve been 150-170 and those I’m pretty sure are pretty good years, which means we are bound to have some 90 inch years that would require the really good years to be above 300 to make up for it. I’m just skeptical of that. Problem is, most of these reports come from ski resorts, which have a strong interest in pumping those numbers. When I see Mt Washington at almost 7000 feet averaging 280 (from a reliable source), I don’t see a ski resort even at 3500 ft consistently averaging above 200. And the same goes from Mansfield. It gets marginally more upslope, and marginally less synoptic snow than Mt Washington. Add in 2000+ feet of elevation difference and I don’t see Mansfield averaging more snow than Washington. But I could be wrong. I would just want to see data that’s not coming out of a marketing department of a snow related industry to believe it.
  2. I don’t buy that. Official reports (not from a ski resort) I’ve seen for Mansfield day the average is around 220”. I don’t see how Mansfield averages more than Washington given the elevation difference. And Jay Peaks reports are a joke.
  3. Anyone in the northern Greens or Whites above 4000 ft with a slanted stick
  4. 0.4" from last night's light snow, fluff factor off the roof
  5. The light snow last night really made for a scenic sunrise
  6. And in the meantime, some very light snow falling
  7. Some snizzle overnight, enough for a heavy coating.
  8. Last night they postponed my kid's Xmas concert to tonight - stupid move. By far the scariest drive I have had in my entire life (he goes to school in Whitefield, so not far, but not around the corner either). My phone was screaming bloody murder "SQUALL ALERT" (Or something like it), and for a time I just could not tell where the road was - front, sides, back looked all the same. Just pure white. My weenie mom was in a panic. But anyways, made it back safely, and measured 4.5 tonight. That brings the total for the past 24 hours or so to just about 9" - hard to complain when a few days ago we thought we'd have to watch SNE get all the snow again. Skiing was fantastic and it's still coming down moderately out there. It's winter in NNE, and all is good.
  9. 4.5 from the squalls, 44.3 season total
  10. Snowing nicely here, big fluffy flakes, but not of the squally type. Just your regular garden variety upslope
  11. What's the expected time frame for tonight's extravaganza?
  12. 1.9 overnight, 4.4 total, 5 at the stake. Light snow at the moment.
  13. 1.3” at this last measurement, for a 2.5” total so far
  14. Oh and 1.2" so far. Nickel and dimes, make us rich...
  15. Actually not sure! It's not print, it's an actual commercial, but I don't know the target market
  16. Heavy snow falling on my deck in preparation for the shoot
  17. I think you’re right, though we ended up get some really nice snows tonight - looks like a couple of inches. I’ll measure after the kids go to bed. it’s good for the heart to get rid of those lawn patches, 8 hours of bare ground in December is 8 hours too long!!! Drove down to Concord today, it’s crazy how little snow cover there is in NNH. Patchy (at least before the upslope kicked in) north of the Notch, and literally nothing from Lincoln on south. Seems crazy for December
  18. My mom flew in tonight. She’s a closet weenie lol. She went outside and had me take a video of her in the snow.
  19. Getting some decent snow here too tonight. Very wind blown but about 1”
  20. Upslope has been pretty limited so far... just some lights stuff, enough to whiten the ground but pretty pathetic. Kinda like December as a whole
  21. Lots of grass showing in open areas even up here. Pathetic! Oh yeah, December to remember... for ruining a perfectly good streak we’ve been in since early November! ok, rant done. One funny thing I noticed though. My house is in a total weenie spot. All the areas around it have a good 4-6” left. Probably because it’s protected from the wind? Not sure, but I like it. Picture from this afternoon.
