STILL N OF PIKE

December blocking sure occurred , but it wasn’t as as well oriented Or as long as many hoped , thou it did lead to a major snow storm for those in deep interior of SNE (pike north ) and most of cne /nne and the pacific has been trash for about as long as the season has been around . Cali troughing Consistently posititioned Out west ..unfavorably for the CP of sne New England as Bob and Scott have touched on for weeks on end

This guy is a degenerate legend

The Friday - Saturday stuff for the north towns including the airport( where I was) was impossible ...I think the band that began to crush the area down by Hamburg late Saturday Nite and Sunday definitely had more semi manageable winds

Ya good luck figuring out the incidence of strong cold Sw winds from November to early January most years.. Or at least until the lake freezes over which apparently usually happens at some point in January (i think) but this year ..hey maybe some late lake effect .

The funny thing about that 23’rd-25’th system was measuring the snow was just about impossible . Not sure how the buffalo - Niagara airport went about it . It was just really comical even thinking about how to measure to the standards that are legit . Just dangle some large vat in the air , pointed toward the SW and about 50 feet off the ground ? and then melt it down and guess ratio’s. I would guess Mount Washington May have a effective method for those conditions

Up and in . Same way The winter weenie has shrunken and gone into hiding

Lol, good For them . I was wondering if there were more negative anomalies in the Southern Hemisphere bc the northern side has more positive then negative . This may not be abnormal as I never look at this stuff, just more an observation .

That is such a sick spot .

Where on the globe are the cold anomalies , anyone have a map . Is Alaska over / under performing

January rain is under rated .

Well , prices do need to come down in real estate . I can’t blame folks for using their means to buy things they are legally able to in states who want their money . Canada just enacted a law on New Years making it much harder for non citizens to speculate on real estate which had driven up prices and drove down affordability and lowering that demand will help moderate prices when combined with the much higher mortgage interest rates . Also if seasonal rentals or the air Bnb out of state owners see their income stream dwindle you will probably see an influx of those homes Go on the market , the lack of supply in the market is certainly keeping prices from falling back down to earth , and I’m sure home owners didn’t realize or didn’t really mind the federal reserve blew a bubble in asset prices yet again , particularly in home values as they were buying Mortgage backed securities to support the market a year after many warned inflation was getting hot and the economy had already bounced back . This led to a 20% Annual rise in home values (on paper..) During 2021 .and even the March 2021 to March 2022 period (while wages went up 3%) (which = unsustainable) and now housing affordability is still at the lowest ever .

6z gfs another 0 burger for Boston (Maybe a “T” downtown , while mammoth puts up a more conservative 97”. That will be the last of those comparisons for me . Not much else interesting to look at .

The low goes Over adirondacks to First ct lake to like caribou ...at 993.. ..at least rainfall is more like 1-1.50 Qpf , follow up wave is a non story as most anticipated and things slow down a bit .. January 19’th la la land storm looks like it has potential ..For NNE

So far 87” to 0” at the 180 hour mark

Let’s play ..” how bad will this gfs run be “ I’ll set the o/u for mammoth mountain at 110” and for Boston at 2” ...place your wagers

Responding To him just gives him more incentive to post. It’s a torch so anticipate more of his torch posts .

Well I have 5 says left on my specific pass and I’m definitely not paying to ski until I use those up . My options are crotched, Sunapee, attitash , wildcat . Sounds like I should just wait for February and maybe it snows , thou I can go mid week to Stowe but it’s not really a day trip

Cranmore is a little turd of a mountain thou and overloaded with kids and it’s also just easy to get to from hotels in N Conway , Ive ski’d it twice but man I’m stuck with those 3 on my epic pass

Nice to see

Does Wildcat , Attitash, Or Sunapee have decent snow making . Gotta use my pass somewhere

Seems like Colorado really hasn’t gotten the goods close to what Utah has , is it just drying out over The wasatch more than usual or the systems just Too far north To crush Colorado , vail has 50% of the seasonal totals that Alta has Jackson hole is getting smashed with 265” on season

Geezus man , I’m hoping you recover soon

Isn’t he going to Sunday River . If he is going w kids just cancel the trip , if it’s with the wife ..get enough liquor so everyone consents to a bangathon, spice things up , pop a cialis .

18z gfs is more like the likely reality regarding the end of week system . Stronger primary via phase and weaker and East follow up nothingness

18z gfs is more of a reality of this coming system . Stronger primary torches and follow up wave weaker and East .
