STILL N OF PIKE

If I lived in NNE I would skip fall, SNE nah . I’m all set w rushing in 15 cold winter rain storms. The allure of a so-so winter has vanished for me . If I was in any portion of the Mid Atlantic I would have long ago gotten rid of my snow weather fetish as a coping mechanism .

18z GFS with a nice fall airmass for NNE hour 220

Thanks for the reply. I was pressed a bit for time otherwise I would have kept driving . Made it to Umbagog state park just prior to Maine border on 16. Wish I had more time , I like the area. I probably would have stayed on 16 and checked out Rangeley (the plot at 1800’ on long pond) in particular.

Up in Jackson. Gonna take a stroll from Milan to Errol and see if I can spot a moose. Probably better shot of seeing moose then a dentists office up yonder

No where south of the elevated great North woods that is inhabitable ? Sees a lot of advisory level upslope events a year that I am aware of . I would imagine maybe condos at 2 K at Breton Woods but my guess is you see a number of 1-2” events and tons of days with flakes in air . Alex would know best thou regarding amounts i would guess 88-90% of your accumulations in a 125” season are from synoptic events

That guy seems stable

66 yes

Roll w the 12z hmon 952 into Miami

I grade everything an F unless we have a Mount Rainer Winter ..... but 10 plus rain storms From Xmas to Feb 28 will do the trick in Nashua. I’m doing everything I can to get out of SNE in the winter . I’m looking at land or also if not this year there is a M2M lease at 1860’ at Bolton Valley starting soon. I will find something .

I see why Ray vacations in the Summer . Hopefully 98L develops

Seems a trough in the west equals well above to record heat here and a ridge out west gives us near normal in SNE (more of a summer thing when BN is usually from rainy days ) not to say we can’t do below normal..3 months and 1 week ago I was snow tubing powder at cannon

Ya, HFD should have several low 90’s left I would say 4 minimum

After requesting a second opinion , Mother Nature’s back just has a bruise ?

There is a nice plot in VT approx 2 miles ENE of Main lodge at approximately 1350’. 3 Westover Rd North Troy . Not awful .

Is there a La Niña snowfall climo map for NNE is it neutral for upslope ? Maybe mount Rainier sees 1100”

It’s definitely a sloped parcel , that’s the one . I probably won’t do anything for 3 months ,so it may be gone ...but there should be good potential w the ability for a view and proximity to skiing and water in seasons .

Last week Cranky said the next MDR storm will take a southern route at end of August and then we will see several storms with development more widespread

Some NYC / Manhattan NNJ wealthy folks are voting with their feet , and that is a real trend . Nannies/ Live in tutors/ teachers are in Super high demand for the very wealthy w Covid So much uncertainty with how this Covid plays out regarding restrictions as school tried to go hybrid as many fight the Covid fatigueugh Mountain homes are in high demand even as a investment ..away from the uncertainties of protecting upscale private property in urban areas now is a legit worry , look at Manhattan the expensive stores that have windows are ALL literally boarded up , this is not even hyperbole lol. If we have winter lockdowns folks with big cash can swoop in and steal nice mountain homes

Ya it’s the 7’th year with good ole Les as director of expansion. He is a four letter word in some parts from prior activities. The Balsams expansion website acts like they are ready lol just have to approve that 28 Million bond .

There is a 7 acre plot for 45k across street from Long pond about 3 miles from Rangeley lake . Elevated up so there could be a fine view .

Ya , if I got land it wouldn’t be in some mediocre spot relative to Snowfall . Rangeley seems like it would have the most seasons for rental potential (Busy summer lake ) / Winter (Ski) early / mid fall (foliage ) thou Covid has thrown a large wrench into that market , should be some distressed second home sales this winter in my opinion and likely a lot more if travel /lodging restrictions are re imposed . There are a few plots near Dixville / E Colebrook that would see nice appreciation if that proposed ski resort ever got the funding to get off the ground near the Balsams .

I want to be in NNE or at least have the option . I was looking at plots of land in a few NNE spots the last couple weeks . Sort of like a 3-5 year plan beginning with the purchase of several acres then development . Really Would enjoy a NNE climate , ideally something Low risk but with nice rental potential. Rangeley Maine (1800’)Jay ,VT 1300’ , and even Colebrook / Dixville 1800’ or so all looked interesting...probably in that Order.

Broke back tolland

Elderly saying hear it from the ggilfs

Agreed
