    Just under an inch. Pure pixie dust.

    Very surprised at it starting this early given the dry air modeled earlier. Anyone have any good reads on snow growth? Pounding pixie dust and got a quick covering.

    Cold stuff and decent lift. Ratios might surprise? Looks like lots of dry air to over come in the beginning though.

    Nice to wake up to snow falling and whitening everything up.

    CMC gives me a powder day skiing on Sunday so I'm riding it. Science is useless.

    So what exactly is an "unblocked" flow? Still learning my upslope aside from humidity, Froude, etc.

    Thank you James. I have not been on the board long but you have also called some great scores! Enthusiasm is what keeps us young and I enjoy it.

    1.4" from the NYE event. 33" on the year.

    Was cool to see on radar. The classic Rt89 to Montpelier Streamer and then Rt 30 Steamer down to Magic. Think they grabbed a couple extra inches today too.

    Touche. Maybe a caveat - More reliable than the NAM >60hrs unless he is in a thread talking to himself. Me thinks there is a social psychology dissertation in there somewhere.

    If James is consistently in a snow thread, Pike north does well. More reliable than the NAM beyond 60hrs.

    Speaking of illness, I don't remember hearing about flu type b going around so much. Towards the end of the semester it seemed to be running wild at UMass. Wife got it this week. Our 4 month old started developing a fever this morning and is cranky. Hello New Year!

    Where are those chickens...

    Catamount really is an under rated area. I remember "Off Stage" being an amazing mogul run similar to Bear Trap at Mount Snow. Catapult is no joke. Looking forward to trying to ski their new terrain this year. It's like Sundown adding Satan's Stairway X2.

    Grabbed 9" the first half of the Dec 1-3 storm then woke up to about 16" the follow day. Got D-1" the 2 days following, 2.5" the following Friday. Then a random 3.5" the next Weds. The ice came through in the end here. Encased and sagging pines trees this morning.

    It started off as a fun ice storm threat than turned into thunder and lightning snow/sleet, a severe thunderstorm warning, road conditions that made driving in a Subaru with mud tires a fun challenge, everything is white again. I consider this one a fun win. And it's still pounding sleet. On top of 32+" this December (which is more than Okemo and some southern VT ski areas have received), I consider this December pretty great.

    Some horrific road conditions around here.
  19. PowderBeard
    Thundersleet/snow coming in with some heavy wind.
  20. PowderBeard
    Wasn't expecting thunder. Wow

    Sat at 32.2 all night lol. Down to 31.6 with dp falling. .34" Looking at other stations, most in central/western Mass above 800' are <32.
  22. PowderBeard
    32.6/32 and rain. So close.

    My wife is admin so no "vacations" but they have had at least one day canceled everyday since the week after Turkey Day. UMass is on break but I still have to be around but not tomorrow.
  24. PowderBeard
    Made a 5 pound lasagna, wood stove cranking. School canceled. Let's go. 33/30.
