No comparison to the other pics ITT, but the late afternoon sun was glorious on Pleasant Mountain, ME yesterday afternoon.   Kezar pond with MWN beyond.

January was great! 30.6" for the month and I'm still rocking a 12" plus snowpack.

One has to wonder what you're compensating for with this constant depth measurement/gloating.  

Mine is only 2" and I am damn proud of it.

Check the map posted above.  Two circles of L pressure.

 

In every other aspect of life 2 boobs is better than 1.  Not in weather.

Almost three.

Good writeup here on the 20 lost skiers at Killington last month.  Lots of unanswered questions, lots not adding up.

https://www.boston.com/news/the-boston-globe/2024/02/05/more-than-20-skiers-had-to-be-rescued-from-the-killington-vt-backcountry-but-how-did-they-all-get-lost/?p1=hp_secondary

If I had to guess, someone cut a rope or Killington effed up somehow and are covering it?  So bizarre.

I got a mailer from Saddleback mountain today with some deals on ski/stay packages that looked attractive.  I've never been there before.  Can anyone speak to it's size?  How it compares to other New England mountains?  Quality of the terrain?  Accommodations if you've stayed before?  On mountain amenities?  

As of now it looks like they're basically completely open and I imagine they're far enough north to keep it that way for awhile.  

Any info and/or opinions are appreciated.

Awesome mountain.  Never stayed over before.  Tons of terrain - enough to go all day and not repeat a run.  Doesn't get nearly the crowds Sunday River and Sugarloaf get.

What would BOS average if it were hundreds of miles north?  I’m not surprised at 110”.  PWM gets >50% more than BOS and they’re only 140 miles up the coast.

I'm surprised by that.  I believe our (PWM) 30 year climo average is around 67".

Little black-and-whites are still calling chick-a-dee-dee, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear the almost-spring phee-bee this weekend.

3rd straight sunny day with a sharp breeze, thanks to the low that may still be burying some places in the Maritimes.

It's the phee-bee I've been hearing the past 2 weeks down this way.

Heard a bird this morning that my brain associates with spring. We’re on to Morch! #NoChanges

I've noticed this the past 2 weeks here as well.  Been trying to ID them but there's, no doubt, been spring bird songs in the air recently.

AstroEnjoyer only has 300 posts?  Would have guessed no less than 3K.  Even the obvious try-hards aren't as obnoxious in 300 posts.

Enthusiasm doesn't have to equate to smothering every other page.  Do less.

I’m thinking they may be the same person? Kinda odd to have two people so similar in posting style to just randomly pop up and start mass posting 

My favorite part is when they respond to "each other".

Stratosphere is getting interesting on guidance too. Some support showing up for another big SSW like last year in Mid-Feb (this helped set the stage for the first couple weeks of March last year where he had several threats including the interior elevation bomb on Mar 13-14. )
 

The difference this year is that if we get another SSW like last year, we won’t be fighting nearly as hostile as a Pacific and the AO already looks to be negative. So it just may lock things in place longer which is what you’d hope for if you want more than a short period of favorability. We’ll know a lot more about the SSW chances in the next 5-7 days.

Its like me taking the one day that there was a flurry in December and posting "some torch"...its absolutely idiotic. No one expects anything before mid month....its either one of two things:

1) He is an idiot

2) Just trying to be an ass

Strongly believe its 2.

3) Both 1 & 2.

My kids have resorted to sledding on snowbanks around town like a bunch of feral animals.

Tough times indeed.

35.4F

With all this debate I'm about to hook a rope to a rafter and kick the ladder out from under me if ya know what I mean.

only 22 degrees out but the full sun makes feel much warmer.  Definitely some melting going on.  One of my hens laid her first egg since Fall today.

Spring done sprung.

Look I don't need a new fancy radar for my area.  All I'm asking for is that the property owner adjacent to GYX cut down some effin' trees.

32.4 SN- and 0.5" new.

That's a lot of 'T' obs.  I've only had 9, plus 17 with measurable snow.  (Avg winter here has 25 'T's and 42 with 0.1"+.)

I'm at 15 obs with measurable, surprisingly close to your 17.  Are those daily cocorahs obs, or another, more frequent increment?

Interesting / sad statistic I realized today:

I take the obs for PWM;  new snowfall is called in every 6 hours.

This season, I have more Trace observations (22) than I do inches of snow (19").  The 19" represent 15 observations of measurable SN.

HRRR is really marginal down there. Watch out with the ptype intensity maps too because it will simulate very high reflectivities with wet snow/white rain. It’s painting 40dbz snow in spots with 34-36° 2m temps. 

Noticed that over here with today's system.  Good callout.
