And are pernicious to the surrounding ecological health, too.
We've talked about this in the past ( it's obviously not the thread for it so keeping it brief), there is a movement in 'property aesthetics' that is derived from enlightening to that awareness. It features creative uses of rock gardens, draped and or garland with mixes of low-flowering species. Single species aspirations in lawn care is completely and utterly dip-shit obvious - to be blunt. Forefathers ( like your aristocratic vision...) didn't know any better. It was always based on ignoramus and/or predispositions surrounding inherited fancies, didn't occur to anyone as questionable. Unfortunately, now exposed as being shit.
Fair, and most importantly ... diverse competition in the ecology, that is what breeds health - not just the systemic health, but the contributing species are also healthier.
Yep. The amount of circle-jerking over the death of biodiversity and dumping of harmful chemicals straight into ground water and waterways is disgusting. Especially considering this a group of people who are supposedly more nature-aware than the general public.

Trolling kevin aside. If you’re going to pull 70s in a March this would be one to do it. It doesn’t take much for a couple of DSD days if we’re already past mud season into CNE.
Curious from a meteorological standpoint - how does mud reason related to downsloping?

Sledding season is done with no hope of recovery and while that hurts, it means I can get out on the road bike and do some cycling earlier than usual and at least start making plans for the boating season. I think we're due for a hot/dry summer and while I don't prefer those, after last Summer's debacle, I'll gladly take it. Lawn might not like it though.
They've already done a cursory street sweep on the major cycling routes down here because people have been out like crazy the past 2 weeks.

Bright sun here aaaaaand....44 degrees.
I love the coast but sometimes she just won't let you enjoy it!
Not until July. Most nice spring days turn into a sea breeze and/or fog. I'll swim in the ocean in any weather, though, and that usually means I don't have to install until then, too.

43F and socked in with fog.
Classic coastal ME spring.

Not two and a row here but this will probably end up worse then 2015-16 and that was the worst year here in the last 15 yrs +.
Four in a row of <65% of AVG (67").
This one (24") on pace for <50% of AVG.
If we don't get any more significant measurable it'll end <40% of AVG.

Why would anyone want an inch of this slop at this point in the season? Especially during the commute. Hopefully it fails.
I'd like to see my Feb total stay <1". At 0.6" now so that is definitely in range.

Watched her in a number of big ski films, Warren Miller tours, she was a well known name. Trauma from high speed impact with a tree, caused by an avalanche… so sad but at least it happened fast.
Yes, and her fiancé was by her side the whole time, so at least she wasn't alone. A friend, who knew her, said "She’s the only person I ever saw make 3 turns down the headwall on teles, knees on skis, male or female." Legend.

Are these twitter people real or just cosplaying as Meteorologists. Place is proliferated with people trying to dupe you into believing they know what they are talking about. Shit social.
My favorite is when people parrot what they say to give the impression they have some knowledge or critical thinking skills. Not copying/pasting the tweet - I'm talking about writing what they say, almost verbatim, and pass it off as their own (terrible) take.
Seen that more than a few times from some regular, non-met posters this winter.

RIP Kasha Rigby, Stowe native, who died in a slide last week in Europe.

The ice fisherman are still driving on the ice up here in vehicles, Going to be a while.
Was out on Range Pond this weekend and was surprised to see the ice a solid 8-10". Hoping this turns into a net gain for the areas that need it (Ski/Snomobile country). I'd rather keep MBY dry at this point. Already had like 4 or 5 different mud seasons here, my property is a mess.

If we get no additional snow this month, it'll be the 2nd least snowiest Feb on record for PWM with 0.6".

Another bust. Was forecast for 3-5 overnight, and barely have a dusting. We can’t even pull off a simple clipper anymore.
Like convection fizzling as it approaches us from the west. Weak.
0.4" since midnight - 0.5"/0.02" total
-
0.1" at Midnight.
Feb to date - 0.1".
So sick.

Sitting at 39" STD. Gonna really need some help here soon because we're rapidly falling behind. Over two weeks with no measurable snow in the heart of climo in NNE snow country is bad, no way around it.
Yep. No trace of snow here - let alone measurable - so far this month. Was up at Shawnee Thursday night, then again Sunday. Conditions got dramatically worse in between the two trips. This clipper will help but it'll all be pushed off by middle of next week with school vacation ski traffic. Really need a solid dump or 2 to get through the rest of ski season.

Congrats CT/RI/Southeastern MA folks. You guys waited a long time for this and had quite the roller coaster ride to endure to get here.
Many will now be above my seasonal total of 23.7". If things continue this trajectory, this'll be the 4th consecutive season where I'm >20" below average. Not looking for sympathy, it's just snow, but for context/perspective. Things have been relatively sucky here, too.

To be fair, he admitted that wouldn't work out a long time ago...kind of a dick move to do that after someone owns it.
To be fair, I haven't been following this thread closely.
And, to be fair, the guy routinely calls long-time posters trash/hack/losers.
Good for him being accountable. Doesn't mean he shouldn't get ribbed. He can take it.

Early mid level occlusions are a bitch. Tend to shunt east; and delay phasing.
Balance is strongly in favor of disappointment unless you’re talking bowling ball theme in late winter/early spring.
Still think that Low off PSM/PWM looks good or nah?

2023-2024 Ski Season Thead

Sounds like we got the last decent day in on Friday, as far as snow goes. I think the rain Saturday night followed by warmth/fog on Sunday did a number on them.
The upslope potential for the Greens looks like the best shot. Other than a front-end burst, and upslope on the back end, it looks like rain (and a good bit of it) in between - I very well could be missing something, though.
