Crooked River in Casco spilled its banks this morning.  Water rescues under way.

Saddleback just announced they will resume ski operations on Saturday. Not sure if anyone else has seen the video of the cliff trail at Stowe from this AM - bonkers. Screen shot of a social media post...this went on for quite a distance.

Terrible (here's the full clip) https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1CWQGQucQ7/?igshid=MjJkMmIyYzQxYw%3D%3D

between Sunday River and Saddleback being on literal islands, and what @powderfreak has posted about Stowe (plus this video https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1CWQGQucQ7/?igshid=MjJkMmIyYzQxYw%3D%3D)

Shutting 'em down may actually not be out of the question.  Congrats to those who wanted that.

An entire industry in New England taking a legitimate dagger on their season.

Major setback, Major damage.

Not localized either.  Damage In every county.  Sounds like a lot of rescues in the Brownfield - Greenville corridor.

Mt Abram supposed to open up on Thursday.  Rough.  Disaster for vacation week.

Is there a site that totals power outages by state? Rather than having to go to each utilities site?

Gonna rip big time when this front makes it to PWM.

I'm working on a tiny peninsula in PWM today, right on the water, with full exposure to the SE.  Much excite.

Almost forgot how good things were to start March, too.

not sure why I don't recall it as I remembered last year as one of the 1st years in awhile we didn't have a grinch storm, but must have been thinking of another time. I hesitated pressing the submit button cause I wasn't 100% sure, but figured someone would correct me. Looks like we got 2.63" rn on the 23rd. Carry on....

Yup, no pack outside the Whites.

My phone is calling for 9.05” of snow on the 23rd. White Christmas saved. 

Your phone must've called either Anthony or George.

Airlift rescue on Mt. Washington this weekend after a slide was triggered.  This is from a ski thread on another forum:

On Saturday my buddy Kevin was skiing Airplane on Washington with two other guys. First guy triggered a slide, stayed on top but sustained a leg injury that led to massive blood loss. Kevin and the other guy kept injured dude alive for 4 hours until a Blackhawk got him out.

These guys are all experienced and took every precaution, as you can see in the injured guys report in his Insta post. Scary shit.

Stay safe out there.

He slid for awhile. Terrifying.

GYX just in the past few minutes let part of their hazardous weather outlook drop for the coast and a swath of southern NH. Wonder if they don't buy it? GYX seems to have been very conservative with their snowfall forecasts the past few years.

can't speak for them, obviously, but there are caution flags for coastal southern cumberland county with this one, as have been noted in this thread.

i've kept track of there forecast "error" for PWM the past 2 winters.

2021-2022 - bias is over-forecast by 10.6" on the season, an average of 1" per each event (that was >1" observed).  Greatest margin over was 4.3" and 4.2" on 2/4/22 and 2/25/22 respectively.

2022-2023 - bias is under-forecast by 1.7" on the season, an average of 0.1" per each event (that was > 1" observed).  Greatest margin under being 3.8" on 12/16/2022.

A little surprised there’s not much in the way of a mixed ptype zone in the soundings. It’s pretty much riding the line isothermal here. That subtle BD and CADing out ahead of the primary is the real key for snow here.

there looks to be a very weak CAD signal...weak enough to where the models may be understating how cold it may be. I could see the models being 2-3F too warm at the sfc.

If I'm interpreting correctly that brings me slightly closer to snow here in PWM.  Still RN verbatim on the GFS, but close.

Nam onboard too for CNE/NNE.

Looks like I'm cooked on the coast, as Chris was saying last night.  Still my climo for this time of the year.

Doesn't the CIA already do this? 

We'll know for sure if we never see another post from you.

Any increase in creosote?

I would think less creosote if anything, because you'll be burning at a higher temp (I know temp isn't the only contributing factor).  

I would go mad without a damper.

The Lat/Lon for the Gorham report in the metadata on the PNS points to Hermit Lake.
